[Offical]Uncharted 2: Among Thieves


Recommended Posts

Sadly I can't afford this till tomorrow (payday) and couldn't risk the money being taken from my account, else I would have pre-ordered as well. Will be popping to the local independant shop though to see if they can let go of a copy early :)

Still waiting for mine. I'm guessing because i'm on the Isle of Wight, UKMail have one van to deliver to the whole island.

If you do the tracking, clicking from Orders from Shopto, and do detailed, it will tell you if at least its on the van for delivery.

Wow.. what a game!!!! I'm on chapter 22 i think..and this is one of the first games (if not the first) that I have played for 10 hours straight without stopping. The game is unbelievable. It's such a cinematic experience that you simply can't stop playing, it feels like an awesome adventure movie. Something in between Romancing The Stone and Indiana Jones..

It's terrific, I loved Drake Uncharted but Among Thieves simply blew me away. I was expecting a lot but this game is probably the finest game this generation and quite possible one of the best games I've played so far in my life. The action is phenomenal, the acting is dead on and visuals take your breath away from time to time.

From the very beginning the game gets a grip on you and doesn't let go. It's literally like a movie and transitions between gameplay and cinematics are completely seemless.

Terrific and a game to own for a long time if anything just to replay it after a while once you finish.

What's the final chapter in the game? As I said I'm on 22, I'm assuming I'm very close to the end.

great game! awesome graphics, best i have seen other maybe MGS maybe. Gameplay is fun, except the stealth sequence was pretty lame. The AI made it really bad. I was beside a guy i had to take out and nothing would happen.... i would bump into him and everything, and it had no effect.

But other then that, AWESOME!!! I am playing on hard, and the game is pretty challenging. The next gen filter is kinda funny.

This game is great! :D

The graphics are superb (easily the best of this generation currently) and the voice acting and animations and incredibly believable. I feel like I'm watching Indiana Jones, only better. :p The gameplay is incredibly fun, and the stealth is great (the cover takedowns are just awesome; slamming some guy into a concrete pillar looks so painful :pinch:).

A must buy in my book, even if only for the first hour or so that I've played. :p

I only got to play the game for maybe a half hour, but I've got to say that I've already been blown away by the presentation and the gameplay so far. Again, like DL said, the game just feels more refined than the first, which was already an amazing game. The graphics are phenomenal. The animations and textures are spot on, and the game sports a palette that touches upon every color in the spectrum, not just shades of green and brown.

Why not just play with an easier difficulty? Trophy ###### :p

Hahahaha, its just for the Crushing trophy. Turns out that you can only use the tweaks you buy in the difficulties you've completed, so my Crushing run will be "naked".

In the mean time, I'm finding all the treasures and getting all the kills for all of the remaining trophies :D

This will be the first game I'll get 100% trophies.

And everyone who has the game, you should buy the Doughnut Drake skin as soon as you can. Its the funniest thing ever to play as.

Welcome to the club :)

So, is this game any good? lol.

Might have to take this off my rental queue, and get it for my b'day in December. Already have SW:TFU-USE, GoW:Collection, and GoW3 on order.

aghh mine didn't turn up!

Just found out they delivered it to the wrong town. I am in sandown and they delivered it to shanklin. Luckly a card was left so i've rearranged it for tomorrow and they're going to ring me when they're at the address. I dunno why they don't just make a note and say SANDOWN!!!

I had this problem when i had my 360 repaired. They kept taking it to shanklin.

Prequel!

Naughty Dog: We did not expect the critical reception we're getting

There's a saying that deems humble people as the most successful. They don't brag about what they've accomplished, they don't go around badmouthing the competition, and they certainly don't imitate. The Naughty Dogs have demonstrated their humbleness, even as they bask in the praise of rave reviews for the critically acclaimed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

You'd think after creating such a genre defining experience that they'd have anticipated this was coming. Well according to Naughty Dog's Travis McIntosh, this sentiment could not be further from the truth. Speaking today in a live chat with the Official Playstation Blog, he said:

"We knew we had something special while working on the game, but did we expect the critical recognition we've been getting? No, when you're as close to a game as we are it's far easier to see the flaws than the full picture. It wasn't until near the end when the story and the cut scenes finally came together that we realized that the game was as good as it was?"

On an entirely different note, Neil Druckmann later added "We love that so many girls enjoy Uncharted..... it's part of our motivation in creating such strong, well-rounded female characters."

Naughty Dog dev confirms cross game voice chat.

"I think they wanted people to have fun and ejoy the show since all dead players can talk to each other no matter what team you are on. But I will suggest it anyway. Not to mention that the next PS3 firmware update is going to allow cross game chat. So if players use that instead of in game communication then they would also be able to communicate enemies positions." Posted by ReklissAbandon, a Naughty Dog Dev.

Anybody up for an online match?

I'm currently 70% into the trophies, but I cannot be bothered right now to complete the remaining ones (one of them is beating the game in Crushing), so I'm playing online.

If you don't have me on your friend list, PM me and I'll send you my PSN ID.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
