Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

[The Hoff]

Gotta say, I'm hooked.

I started out with the Co-op Objective mode, aside from the fact it appears there's only one 'level' to play, it's really quite good.

Then moved on to the DM modes, really rinsed it last night, and despite some initial problems actually killing anyone I really enjoyed the game. Just need to level up to 14 to get that 'Down the Irons' perk, which apparently makes the AK a decent weapon over long range.

I also noticed that at times, the Finding Players process took a good 5 minutes, though usually on exiting back to the main menu, and trying again it worked reasonably quickly.

One thing that is annoying is having to go through the Find Games/Players process after every game, wish it would just cycle the maps.

Enjoyed the MP side of things, and I'm pretty sure the SP will be even more spectacular.

Which along with Demon souls makes this the PS3's second AAAE in as many days.

And whilst probably best for another thread means the PS3 has now briefly taken the lead over the 360 in AAAE's (I'm assuming Forza 3 will even it again)

The beta has made me hate my PS3, never connects even after 10-m15 minutes of trying to find a game.

 

[Brazo]

^^Thats the whole point of a beta to iron out any issues

Shopto have taken the money off my card, so unless the postal strike screw me over I'll have mine before the end of the week. That's my weekend sorted.

I must remember to update my PS3 one evening, and make sure it still actually works.

 

[Turkish]

PS3 + Update, one evening? correct! lol

Exectly, I'll do it this evening while watching Heroes and Californication on the 360. That should be long enough.

Now dispatched.

 

[Rasclart]

Well I've been bummed. Me and my mate got e-mails at 6.30ish last night from UKMail saying it would be delivered today. His turns up, mine doesn't and the consignment number says it's not in the system Should have stuck with Royal mail.

How am I going to do that when it's updating for half an hour?

I watched Californication in HD on the 360, updated the PS3, then turned it off again. I watched Heroes later, again on the 360.

Anyway, mine has arrived. That's my weekend sorted.

I see around 900kb/sec download on the PC.

I was going to think ahead and download the update at work, but figured I'd just let it run last night, ready for tonight. Fingers crossed I don't end up stuck in the office now.

They're only TV rips, it doesn't make any difference which console I watch them on, they're hardly Bluray quality. lol

 

[.Ben.]

HMV have Uncharted 2 for £34.99.

Is this the cheapest out there?

* Shop.to (my normal supplier) have it for £38

 

[Reaver85]

ah, i always download them in mkv and watch them in 720p and 5.1 on the ps3, don't do the 350mb avi's.

be interested to hear some reviews over the next couple of days from people on here as to whether its a good as people say.

 

[Scutch]

http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/955125-uncharted-2-among-thieves/index.html

That's an average from 29 reviews!

PMSL @ me not even knowing what the game is about. PS3 n00b FTL.

 

[m4rkie23]

WHAT THE FUK!!!!

it is THE best adventure genre game ive ever played, worth buying a ps3 JUST for the first one. this one is guna be a whole lot better.

wow - 96.31%. cant remember seeing a game with that high a score?

I can't get back on that link for some reason, keeping getting 404 errors, but I think I remember it saying that was the 4th best overall score on GameRankings. I'm presuming one of the GTA's is ahead of it, and probably Halo or Zelda?

 

[m4rkie23]

nah its currently 6th:

Zelda Ocarina of time N64 - 97.69%
GTA4 PS3 - 97.31%
Super Mario Galaxy WII - 97.28%
Super Mario World SNES - 96.70%
GTA4 360 - 96.36%
Uncharted 2 PS3 - 96.31%

so if you ignore the fact that gta is on there twice, then it is currently the 5th highest scoring game on any platform, of all time. obviously when it has 70-80 odd reviews there could be a difference.

Metacritic has it at 97% from 59 reviews.

I don't understand GTA4. Although I loved it there were tons of people moaning saying it was s**t.

Same here, well one of the lads at work does. lol The Heroes Se04Ep02 I watched last night wasn't great though. Californication was spot on though, in more ways than one!

If it's anywhere near as good as Zelda Ocarina of Time they it will be one of the greatest games of all time. I'm starting to think it could well be. I've stopped myself playing it today, as I want to do it justice on a large screen, rather than the one on my desk at work.

 

[sneeks]

I download the 400mb avi files and they look perfectly good, I can't be bothered with the 720p file sizes despite having a 20mb bb connection. I watched Heroes S4 Episodes 1-5 last night.

I'm undecided on buying this game.

 

[Rasclart]

Well I was going to order but forgot. Then got a shipping notice from Play.com. Forgot I pre ordered to get the BETA code and forgot to cancel. LOL

Oh well I have a copy now

 

[James.f]

Might pop into gamestation tommorow to get it, i enjoyed the first one so just hope this is good
