Uncharted 2

**JKTrix** · 10-16-2009, 09:01 PM

The title screen image is flipped, I think. The statue is holding the dagger in the wrong hand.

Just finished it. My favourite parts (and now that I remember, my favourite parts of the first Uncharted) are when you are 'tomb raiding' the ancient structures. The designs of the temples and whatever are gorgeous.

Now that I know you're supposed to shoot down some of those treasures, I might go back and nab them.

Did have issues. The 'acrobatics' were great when they worked, but I've just been spoiled by many other games that are more free with their environments. Vivi mentioned Assassin's Creed, but there's also stuff like Mirror's Edge and Infamous. I understand the need to contain the levels, but there were a few places where I could not climb on something that I should be able to.

I think I caught the game off-guard sometimes when I turned around when they weren't expecting it. They had already loaded the level in front of me and started to unload the level behind me--but they were pretty quick to re-load the stuff I had already passed. Wasn't nearly as bad as Halo.

It's similar to Batman: Arkham Asylum in the way it takes a bunch of elements from other games and puts it into itself. I had more fun with Batman, but part of that is because I actually don't like Uncharted's characters that much. If I were to scale my personal pros and cons between Batman and Uncharted, they would probably be about equal.

I really enjoyed playing it on my TV with DTS surround. It certainly lives up to the presentation hype.

Did any of you take a look at some of the bonus features? Naughty Dog really put a lot into this. They put in almost every concept art they did for this game, all the original trailers, a bunch of behind the scenes stuff and a video demostrating what it's like to work for their company. I think I'll show this game to my animation and gaming class sometime next week.

DM are you on now? Let's party up

**Depression Moon** · 10-17-2009, 03:57 AM

Nah, I can't get a signal on my PS3 unfortunately. This connect i'm using now is too poor for my PS3 to keep me signed in. I usually scan for connection and that only works every once in a while.

**JKTrix** · 10-17-2009, 04:00 AM

Oh, so you're using someone else's internet? That's kind of funny.

**Depression Moon** · 10-17-2009, 04:02 AM

you know any tips on getting connect? My brother's Wii seems to not have any problems getting signals and I'm hungry for Uncharted 2.

**JKTrix** · 10-17-2009, 04:06 AM

Get Your Own is probably the best idea

then you can position the antenna any way you want (or even, preferably, stick a cable into your system). There's not a whole lot you can do if you're 'stealing' someone else's wifi.

Check your bro's wii, if it can connect right now (check the news or weather or shop channels), put your PS3 where his wii is and try again. If it can't, whoever you're piggybacking on probably put a password on it.

I tried putting it at the same place he did before. Didn't work. I guess I'm screwed.

Got to Chapter 7 last night. Pretty good so far. Although I don't think the game really works as a stealth game. Maybe thats just me.

I plan to get into the multiplayer once I've finished the campaign. Which hopefully Ill blitz through today. It'll be good to get some co-op going with you guys.

That's probably because there are only a handful of places where you're supposed to use stealth, but I love the stealth system when you're expected to use it. Stealth in the first game was almost impossible so at least they made it work in this one, plus you usually get rewarded for stealth kills with additional weapons like grenades.

Hey, I'm up for some Uncharted partying. Sooner rather than later (SPOILER)because I only rented this game.

Some of the stealth stuff was kind of week. The act of stalking itself was fine, but there were a few instances where a guard's unconscious body was in *plain sight*, and other guards walked by as if it didn't exist. I noticed much later in the game that they would notice a dead body, though.

Maybe I should play again on a higher difficulty.

I'll have to add some of you to my friends list. Since I'm currently an unemployed bum I have plenty of time to play Uncharted 2 online when I'm not out job hunting.

**JKTrix** · 10-17-2009, 06:09 PM

Here's an early example of one of those instances where there's a spot I'm sure I'm *supposed* to be able to climb, but can't.

I saw Dreddz pop online then offline right after I recorded that just now.

I don't think it is a good idea for me to play till my family evacuate my living room. I tried playing with Jktrix and it was hard as hell trying to keep up with the game. Co-op does seem pretty neat though, and its definitely a lot harder than single player.

**JKTrix** · 10-17-2009, 08:32 PM

I need to go eat some food :P be back in around an hour. Good games with Vivi and Dreddz. Co-op is *rough*

Edit: it would really help if we could communicate somehow. I have multiple 'microphones' for the PS3, but I'm guessing y'all don't. Is your computer near where you play your PS3? Do you have a microphone for your computer? Failing that, we could all just go into a chat room somewhere and type it out :P

Edit Edit: Actually, there's a chat room built-in to the PS3. If you have a USB keyboard with a long enough cable, that could work too. If we don't do voice communication.
