[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.

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.

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools.

Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
