Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

not only is it a KILLER APP but it's a WATERSHED GAME children will ask WHERE WERE U WHEN UC2 DROPPED do u really want ur answer to be I was swearing at dudes abt DJ HERO?

anyway I just learned I got my new job so I'm buying myself a PS3 w/UC2 w/my first paycheck

tru oratory

it really amuses me that this game is called uncharted: drake's fortune. when i see my bf playing it i say "is this SOCOM" and hell say "no its uncharted: drakes fortune". the way he says it u can here the colon btw. then ill leave the room.

the first one is called uncharted: drake's fortune

this one is uncharted 2 colon among thieves

ummmm i was talking about the first one. i realize u guyz are talking about uncharted 2: killer app i was just talking to myself

also theres a ps3 commercial where the dudes gf thinks that uncharted 2: big stubble in little china is a movie and not a game and i saw it it reminded me doing the SOCOM thing, before, with the first one

tbh that commercial helped sell me on the system as my girl likes to watch certain games like they're movies anyway
damn apt marketing

czn - I'm not sure you deserve a ps3 after you admitted you don't care for Wipeout! Congrats on the job.

cozwn wrote this on thread Mario was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me on board I Love Games on Aug 26, 2009

I don't think wipeout is that good tho

NEVER FORGET

wipeout 2097 til I die

okay, if you put it like that, all is forgiven. I thought you meant the whole series. First wipeout is indeed unplayable shit.

Uncharted 2 is a clear front-runner for game of the year, I think, but I have more to play.

I am trying to get through Uncharted 1 to get to the gooey sweetness that is the sequel, but it's not making it easy. I just hit another jetski level, where someone actually thought to themselves "You know what's fun? Piloting a low-powered watercraft upriver against rapids, stopping dead in the water every thirty seconds to shoot instant-death barrels, and fighting enemies with preternaturally accurate aim. Oh, and you know how we gave the player an infinite-ammo grenade launcher the first time? Fuck that, let's try giving him a pistol. That'll teach him to complain. On ILX. Three years in the future."

HOW DID THEY KNOW

oh lord, the laser sights

THE LASER SIGHTS

dude why not just go straight to #2

it's not like the godfather movies

You don't understand, I have to. It is a sick compulsion. Plus I'm under the delusion that I'm somehow improving my skill at aiming with a joypad so I won't totally embarrass myself in multiplayer.

Okay, serious WTFs at the plot twist, where they decide to stop ripping off <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190838/";>this</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082971/";>this</a> and start ripping off <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412704/";>this</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087015/";>this</a>. (spoilers obviously)

oh god dammit bbcode

lol

bbcode and your links don't even work

Yeah, for some reason the quotes in my html got put into the links.

this and this to this and this

There, hopefully that'll work

that took me to a porn spam site... wtf

Telephone - the good news is that you're very close to the end of the game, but the bad news is that the end is the most mishandled section of the game

I've already gotten tired of the RARGH BOOGIDY BOOGIDY shit in the German bunker, though I did like how the only weapons available are WWII-era German submachine guns. REALISMS!

s1ocki- Assuming you're not just fucking with me, the revised links or the original botched html ones? I double-checked, they should all point properly to IMDB...

yeah the end is crap.

end is the worst part of the second game, but how is the worst part of U1 anything other than the second jetski bit?

No kidding, if the ending of the game somehow manages to be worse than the upriver level I'm breaking the fucking disc in half.

...wow, I am sweary today, aren't I. Sorry about that, I'm trying to quit caffeine and it is doing awful, awful things to me.

Uncharted 2 is so awesome.

Finished UC2 today and the ending was better than the first but still disappointing but that is in part due to the awesomeness that comes before it. The game does start slowly but from chapter 5 to chapter 22 everything about it is perfect, especially 'Desperate Times' and 'Locomotion', it's a ridiculous amount of fun and the pacing is almost perfect. I was kinda bummed that Sully wasn't in the game more though, love that guy but all the characters are pretty great which just sucks you in more.

Good interview here with the developers.

i just didnt understand why they end the game with baddies who are basically world of warcraft characters

HEY

SPOILERS

but uh there are SPOILERS here too

i'm not done with the game yet but it was kind of heartbreaking and frustrating in that part where you wake up in the tibetan village and you follow dude around past all these happy kids playing, bright colorful houses, etc. and you just fucking know that there's going to have to be another level where you go back through and everything's all blown up and gray and terrible and there are tons of bad guys. i kept hoping they would defy this expectation but knew it was going to happen and it kind of pissed me off.

it's just a video game :/

I am about halfway through that level.

On the one hand, I agree. On the other hand, it is an awesome terrain for a gunfight.

pros and cons of having your village destroyed

JEFF DID U FKN BUY THIS GAME YET

WHY ARE U BEING SO UNGRATEFUL FOR WHAT THE GREAT GOD PLAYSTATION GAVE US

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/eurogamers-game-of-the-year-2009

not only did i not get this game for christmas/channukah but i got no fucking games at all despite giving some games to others

and Abdulmutallab thought he had a disappointing holiday

uncharted 2 is pretty good eh? finally got around to it and for some reason i was kinda cynical about it, as much as i had enjoyed the first one, but this is really great. they have made such a virtue of scripted events. the whole thing is so seamless and there have only been rare occasions when the gameplay has been less than totally engaging. i approve of this game.

Didn't know Bruce Willis had made it into this game!

I know everybody is probably tired hearing superlatives abt this game by now but...

holy moses this is like the best-looking game ever.

srsly... at first I was all 'I bought a PS3 for this?!' but then I started walking through the snow and I was like 'justified!!'

I'm near the end now (thought I'd play through on hard first) and I've been consistently blown away throughout not just by the set-pieces but by the platforming, the writing, the graphics and the actual performance of the engine... the frame rate is so consistent even when there's lots going on. naughty dog did a great job here

the platforming altho v.linear is just in perfect service of making you feel like a total badass who can get anywhere nevermind how difficult and it mixes it up enough with little realtime cutscenes of breaking scenery so it doesn't really get boring

surprised how charming the characters actually are too; I was apprehensive that the dialogue was going to be too quip-y and wiseass-y but - although everyone is kind of a smartass - it's not overly annoying. cute without being irritating

tensin is a badass

tensin is a badass

fuck yeah. loved that guy.

nearly finished too, cosign everything cozen said. best game i've played on PS3 by quite some distance.

anyone actually put any time in the MP on this?

Admittedly, it's nowhere near as bad (and when it works is funny and exhilarating and action-movie-y), but I think "Cat and Mouse" is this game's jetski level. WAY too much instant death, and now that I'm at the segment where I'm supposed to destroy the tank, the fuckers with rocket launchers keep dropping them OFF THE GODDAMN ROOFS. INTO THE STREET. WHERE THE TANK IS.

Thinking of getting UDF2, because I really quite liked the first one. Is the sequel much of the same?

yes

Finished U4, and the finale is quite good! Minor spoilers below.

SPOILER
I didn't like the boss fight, but unlike the frustratingly bad ones from U1 or U2, it was because it was a little underwhelming. The story climax was definitely fistpump worthy. Epilogue a little meh, though I definitely enjoyed giving a dog a second treat.
