[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...

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
