[Offical]Uncharted 2: Among Thieves


Recommended Posts

so jealous!

i'm currently teaching my cousins (ages 5 & 6) the basics of Uncharted... it's difficult to say the least.

Best sig evar!

Showing your cousins how to play a killing game is the best thing I've heard all day.

Argh!!! Well fortunately I have half day on Friday, but meant to be going for drinks with a girl i've not seen in ages.......

You know you'd rather have a few beers with Chloe and Elena :cool:

this is pretty ridiculous. i thought maybe these things would go for like $500, but WOW.

really wishing i won it at the cinema event, would have come away with 2 months rent. argh!

OR, anybody think this is fake?

Is it worth getting a PS3 for this game?

For this game, and many others, yes!

just got done playing Unch-2. Amazing game. I played the first through 3x's. This one's going to keep me busy way past MW2 cause of its added MP as well.

worth every penny.

Hello,

I am on chapter 13 and have yet to see any of my tweets going out. I have my account all setup and some options enabled. Did Insomniac just disable this feature on rollout with plans for better implementation in a patch in the future?

Yeah thats what I heard, its disabled until further notice.

LOL You know I saw AB signed on and off for like 5 minutes too, and I had a real sneaky suspicion something was up!!

So okay, first let me state I have not officially been playing this entire time, I am fortunate enough to work from home most of the time and I did indeed wind up getting some additional work from work to do. So I was pausing the game as I did now to post this.

With that said I am 23% complete, and have played for 2 hours and 36 minutes according to my Save file. So being about a quarter of the way through the game, here are my initial impressions...

It is Uncharted 2. :laugh:

I am not trying to state the obvious with that comment, however I am saying it is exactly what I expected it to be, a more refined version of the first Uncharted. Now to me that is a great thing, but if people were somehow expecting something more, you might be disappointed, as it is indeed Uncharted 2.

Now with that said, some things have been refined a good deal, most notably the hand to hand combat. But even the platforming, which you will do a great deal of, seems more refined as well. So it is just overall extremely polished.

Presentation, absolutely top notch. Truly is. Voice acting, Cut-scenes. All incredibly well done.

It is easily the best looking game on any console in my opinion, and I do say that with a bit of bias as I absolutely applaud Naughty Dog for adding color to their game's pallet. To me that just makes it stand from the pack that much more. But seriously the attention to detail is unparalleled, so it truly is just great to look at.

I will say I had a bit of a snag, and funny enough it was in one of the video reviews I read. There is a scene very early on you are forced to go stealth, and it just was not clicking for me. Turns out all I had to do was something really simple, but the thing was I knew exactly what I had to do early on, it was just I did not realize I had to hit a certain button, so I kept getting spotted, and it caused a pretty decent amount of frustration.

Other than that little hiccup, the game-play is spot on. Pacing is perfect so far and the gun fights are not just breeze through them. I tried to run-n-gun a few times and met death quickly.

So it is a great game so far. I wish I had something more to add than all of the glowing reviews, but they have all been exactly spot-on. Definitely. I plan on beating the SP before I do anything else MP related, so I hope to have it done by tomorrow night, Thursday the latest, if all goes according to plan.

:D

Have you got the the train sequence yet?

From what I've spoiled myself with that's one of the first "woah" parts I've heard. At 23% though I think you still have a bit to go, supposedly the first 1.5 hours is a bit slow.

Really looking forward to this tomorrow, the game just looks amazing, and I did enjoy the MP a bit in the Beta, so looking forward to leveling up.

With this and Forza 3 then MW2, I need to sell all my old games, as they will never get played again lol.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
