[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.

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
