[Offical]Uncharted 2: Among Thieves


Recommended Posts

Fat Drake is unlockable in the single player already, nothing special and amazed people are thinking it's something new. I realise it is for MP but it's not 'new' new.

However this little porky is new ;)

Postman was here with my Uncharted 2 ... He left again with it -.-

Wasn't home to sign for it *sigh* Oh well, can go pick it up tomorrow or Monday, If I get the time.

Ouch! :(

Can't you go pick it up the same day or can you not get there? Friday collection etc?

No, they keep our packages and letters hostage for 24h before you can pick it up on the local post-office, if you don't collect within 5 or 7 days, they ship it back. I am quite busy this week, which is why it might not be until Monday :( Oh well, I got Assassin's Crack to keep my occupied :D

Yeah similar situation here think they say 12 hours though.

What's Assassins Creed like? I've got the first but never really got into it, seemed too repetative. Is that sorted in the second? Might stick on the Xmas list. Games seems a bit sparse this festive period.

Finally got to play it a bit and it took a while to get going, had to hook up the PS3, reset the video settings, update the damn thing to even play the game, update the game and then I was ready - Took me 30 minutes and that's a lot when you set off 50 minutes or so to play the damn game :laugh:

As for the game, the graphics are might impressive - Definitely among the top 3 lookers this generation but man, core gameplay is annoying, especially after playing this much Assassin's Creed. I mean, animations look fantastic on their own but when applied to a few things in the game world they look weird and unnatural, plus, there seems to be this weird ... 'thing' about certain directions are closed off for a few seconds.

Like, I was in the museum, got to a ledge with a treasure up top. I jumped over to the ledge, in the "open" area, where you are supposed to climb up and I kept pressing up! Nothing happened. I do some crawls from side to side and still nothing, then I try jumping down and trying again - Boom, first try and he's up?! Had this happen a few times already and I barely got started.

Then I had to get up to a Junction Box near a gate ( Second alarm junction box ) and I was having some problems figuring out how to get up there. There was this extremely convenient jump to a roof placed nearby with no other purpose than being a jump to a random roof ( Hate when games do that ) and I couldn't get to it from there either, nowhere to grab any edges or make any small jumps. So I spent like 10 minutes, running around trying to crawl up some easy ledges and whatnot, AC2 style ( Playing that game really spoils any other game, Free running ftw! ) and I was about to give up, when I gave that oddly placed roof another try ... I make some completely random jump diagonally toward the junction box and he grabs a hold of a ledge which is completely impossible to grab a hold of at that angle and that was at the limit of his jump, so I suppose that was the edge I had to go to?

I just facepalmed hard, if it's that sort of game where route logic is out the window and random trial-and-error is the name of the game then count me out. Going back to AC2 and might re-visit the game next month :p

2nd junction box by the heavy gate? Just jump up and head to the right. No roof jumps involved at all, weird that you didn't spot it.

Lol, you're just supposed to climb up the gate directly in front of you.

LOL I tried that and he didn't grab on, so I guessed you couldn't do that ... That's just double-up on the fail.

Must be your stupid control pad! :p

I've sent the parents a link to buy me AC2 for Christmas so will look forward to that (Y)

The new update is out but it has crashed my PS3 twice in the last 30 minutes... anyone else having this problem?

I was in the story today and, in the Monastery chapter, my PS3 randomly started beeping (one long beep then loads of others) and a scratch type noise came from the inside, and the disc stopped spinning, but it didn't tell me anything or shut off. After I got through the first gate it started getting laggy, but then the disc started again and then it was fine.

I don't know if it was the update because before whilst I was playing MW2 online my PS3 was making a fair bit of noise spinning the disc.

It's your PS3 trying to tell you to stop sending chain letters via PSN ;)

Haha lol, I actually made that up to try and annoy some people who kept on sending me crappy things.

I really don't want my PS3 to break; a few people at school have had their PS3's break and I don't want to be next, especially when I've not even had it a year yet (got it on December 27th!).

Definitely something wrong with this patch.

1) on village, whenever the tank is about I keep respawning under the tank and dying instantly.

2) players sometimes get stuck on the initial team screen (took about 5 minutes for our game to load).

3) my character sometimes freezes for about two seconds after shooting my weapon.

really annoying as the multiplayer was working great before the latest patch...

    • In what way is any of what I said incorrect? To install an update you need to close all browser instances, upping it from once a month to once a fortnight is an inconvenience for users. Particularly when updates don't offer functionality that users want (notably copilot). Security updates should come as they are needed, not on a release schedule
    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • 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.
