With the release only two weeks away and the beta being public with almost no one checking the netplay forum without this here... Uncharted 2 topic time.

Uncharted 2 is pretty much the only game I have really wanted to get for the whole year and being a fan of the first game in the series, I have been very excited to get my hands on Uncharted 2. I'm sure almost everyone already knows about it by now since it's one of the most hyped games of the current generation (which is kinda funny considering how overlooked Uncharted was) and gladly it seems like it's not going to disappoint with the multiplayer beta being a lot of fun and the game getting a ton of favorable reviews, having an average score of 9.7 on metacritic.

For those who have played the first game, what we know about the second one is that the core gameplay is pretty much the same but some things have been added and tweaked. I haven't played the single player campaign yet obviously but at least all the reviews say that the levels are designed so that there's a bigger focus on traversal shooting instead of simply taking cover in one place and shooting down all the enemies. The melee is also improved and it's actually useful this time around, and Naughty Dog have added some sneaking elements to the game so that you can take down enemies quietly without noticing others. At least the gameplay has been an absolute blast in the multiplayer campaign and if the single player is anything like in the first game, I'm sure it's going to be good. Well, it's probably better to just read a review or two instead of me trying to explain it especially since I have only played the multiplayer beta for one day.

I got lazy so can't be bothered to type more. Anyone else going to get the game? And hopefully you'll play it online with us, it's seriously a lot of fun.

Of course I am getting this game. It's such a day one purchase and the only other games that seem that way for me are Mafia II and Modern Warfare 2.

The first was exceptional, this has got a really good review off kotaku today so I am thinking I am going to be £40 short when the time comes.

I am pretty damn excited. Whenever I see an advert on TV I get all happy and excited which doesn't happen for many things these days.

Can't wait. I am "stoked" as the yanks say.

You know what you really need? Like, really, really need, and you don't even know it? One of our kidneys.

That's what we're putting on the table on the off chance that you're the winner of Naughty Dog's latest contest -- the prize for which is one of the limited, sexy, leather-bound, dagger-infested copies of Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition. All you have to do to be eligible is play in the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta this weekend, and you'll automatically be entered. They're handing out 10 copies of the special edition every day until the game's released, meaning our chances of receiving one are slim.

Hence, we offer one of our kidneys as an exchange to any potential winner under the sound of our voice. They're fresh, they regulate the balance of our electrolytes superbly, and, best of all, they're ours! Don't you want to put a bit of Joystiq inside you?

Got the game this morning and just beat it, took about 10-11 hours. It definitely felt longer and larger than the first Uncharted.

I'm not kidding when I say it has to be the best single game experience I have had. You just have to play it, what an incredible game. Visuals, gameplay, voice acting, music, everything was so polished down to the last detail. I really liked the level design, a lot of variety in levels and fighting felt way more varied than in the first game thanks to the level design and stealth moves, which is probably my favorite addition in Uncharted 2. There were many parts where you could use stealth to kill almost all the enemies and it's great fun. The game had so many incredible parts and it was just so well paced with not a single dull moment that I really have to applaud Naughty Dog for creating such a fantastic game. It's a bit premature to say this but right now I definitely think this is my favorite game in years and one of the best games I have played, and I can't see any other game topping it this year. Everyone who owns a PS3 must get Uncharted 2.

The game is gr8 but I need to get a new controller since my dualshock R2 button got destroyed by playing Armored Core Nexus and this year my original PS3 controller dual analog sticks are sometimes not resetting back to place/sticking. making the game a bitch to play.

Edit when you get to the pool in the hotel take a dive in the pool LOL Best trophy ever.

Is this a bad thing? If it makes you feel better I don't have a pink ball to wave in front of your face.

All i'm trying to say is Uncharted 1 had more of a serious vibe and Uncharted 2 had more humor.

Bump.

If you own a PS3 and you do not purchase this game, you are making a big mistake. I'm pretty sure this is going to be remembered as the best game of this console generation. It's currently ranked (http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/955125-uncharted-2-among-thieves/index.html) as the 8th best game ever. Buy it, idiots!

I bought this game for the multiplayer, the main story is a lil somethin on the side. The story is done in very much movie fashion (games are movies these days) but you control drake so it's cool.

We should make a GW clan and jones other squads.

Definitely a must buy.  It's honestly like playing a movie, but the key part is that you're still playing.  The recent trend in games is to give the illusion the player is doing something cool, but take over right before you get to do it and show a long cutscene of awesome stuff.  In this game 90% of the time, you're playing through exciting cutscenes.

Lots of times I was so involved in what was going on, I didn't realized I was supposed to be playing and died.  Great game, great acting, great writing.

DDay doesn't "get" posts.

Anyways, I played this at a friend's house for about three hours straight. I really enjoyed it, but I felt the controls were a bit weak. I found myself rolling about like a faggot because it was the same button as "snap to cover", and there were a lot of surfaces that just didn't let you snap to them. Other than some loose controls thanks to the same button doing everything, I had a lot of fun. The story moved along at a good pace, although they probably didn't need that many cutscenes. There was a bit of repetition in terms of what you were doing that I assume only get worse as you go along, but whatever, it's still a good game. I didn't get a chance to try the multiplayer, unfortunately. I'd suggest anyone who plays this tries to be stealthy once and awhile, since pulling a guy over a railing to his death is a totally awesome experience.

I didn't really find this game to be anything like Assassin's Creed, to be honest. The free-running stuff was more puzzle oriented, with the idea being more on finding the right way to go rather than dexterity. Anyways, it's a good game, I liked it a lot, I recommend it.

Yo I'm gonna sorta necropost here but holy shit this was probably the best game I have played in years. I mean, I finished the first one a week ago and thought it would be pretty difficult to top it, but jesus christ. I don't think I've ever played a game with such amazing production values. I thought the first one looked better than most recent games, but this one completely blew it out of the water.

I dunno I'll probably look back at this later and be like "eh" but yeah wow, I don't think I've enjoyed a game this much in the past 3-4 years.

Are there any good reasons to not like this game? I don't have a ps3 so I don't really care, but my douchebag friend has been toting for the last week that this game is going to revolutionize console gaming by forcing developers to double the work they put in and blah blah, I'm just looking for a couple reasons this game may not be so great to throw in his face.
Title: Uncharted 2
Post by: DS on December 01, 2009, 12:09:30 pm
uh well, if you want to find reasons to not like it, i suppose some people could dislike it because:

- it's linear as fuck, although it kind of has to be for the story and narrative to work so well.
- AI can be a bit dumb sometimes, enemies don't necessarily notice you very easily even though they should see you and they don't pay attention to sounds or dead bodies, basically uncharted 2 could have learned a bit from metal gear solid when it comes to this.

that's pretty much everything i can come up with actually. i can't see anyone who even remotely likes games actually disliking uncharted 2. it is one of the greatest games i have played and i agree with your friend that i'm sure many other developers are going to learn from it when it comes to pacing, narrative and blurring the line between games and movies.

oh yeah might as well add that even though the multiplayer is fucking awesome, it's too streamlined. what i mean is that you don't get complete freedom over what gamemodes and their variations (snipers only, rpg's only etc.) you get to play and there is no public servers list. if you team up with your friends in the lobby, the game will always automatically put you in the same team so it's a bit annoying if you don't have a lot of friends to play with and you want to actually play against them because you can't with uncharted 2's matchmaking system and lack of server list. you have to create your own game so that you can decide the teams yourself but that only works if you have enough players because the maps are pretty large. as for the gamemodes, if you want to play ranked matches you don't get to choose what gamemode you will play, the game will always randomize two maps for you and each of them will have randomized gamemode as well and the players will vote for the one they want to play, that's all the freedom you'll have when it comes to ranked matches. the game gives you a few different choices (deathmatch only, team-based matches only, ranked matches, co-op, co-op arena...) but i definitely wish they'd add a server list and give players more freedom to choose what they want to play. the upside is that at least there is variety in both maps and gamemodes when you play ranked matches so you won't get bored that easily.

I actually enjoyed Uncharted 1 more then 2. Sure, 2 has far more impressive graphics, but I loved the story and atmosphere of the first far more. Being on a mysterious island looking for a mysterious treasure was far more captivating than the Chintimani Stone. All we know about it from 2 is it's valuable, and here's how to get it, and this guy is trying to get there before us.

Also, thought the MP adds a lot of spice to Uncharted 2 (since the first had none to begin with), I didn't like how the Horde Mode had JUST 10 waves (or ROUNDS). I'm a big fan of Gears of War 2, and Horde there was the greatest MP I've ever played, and really hoped Uncharted 2 would match that level of intensity.
