[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.

UNCHARTED: Eye Of Indra Announced

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 fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
