Let's talk about how awesome Uncharted 2 is

**Slim Trashman** · 10-17-2009

WOOOOOW.

Some favorite things:

- Snow/Water (wet) effects on characters (I guess I'll call this 'dynamic texturing'?)
- REALLY fluid animations, no ugly, jerky look when changing motion
- I didn't play the first, so this is new to me, but Nathan Drake is SUCH an awesome character
- "Thin material" behaves like "thing material" would in real like, eg. flags wave, pages in Drake's journal aren't thin blocks, etc

Overall UC2 just set what I think should be new standards for games in terms of realism at least.

If you own a PS3, you have to get this game. No really, Xbox LIVE's figurehead Major Nelson even got the game. So that pretty much means PS3 owners have to get it.

Drake is one of my favourite game characters ever. His witty little remarks and very 'human' factor he has are perfect. I highly suggest you play the first game if you liked the second.

**Piggus** · 10-18-2009

It's incredible. My friend and I are only on chapter 6 and apparently the game only gets better and better as you go along. By far the best game I've played in a reaaaaaally long time.

You should definitely play the first one too though. It's still an amazing game.

**Slim Trashman** · 10-18-2009

Oh man I know, after playing through this one I was like holy shit, I need to play the first! And yes Piggus it gets really awesome as you progress!

The only thing that I can say I don't like UC2, which isn't even really it's fault, but the new box art design for PS3 totally kills the flow of my stacks of PS3 games

(although I do like this one more, disc design too)

I've only seen like feeds of this game and I'm really enjoying just watching the game. Its like the best looking game this generation. And co-op looks pretty fun and challenging as well.

**Slim Trashman** · 10-18-2009

I tried co-op once earlier and it was REALLY fun.

Legham · 10-18-2009

fuuuuck. I wanna get it! I was gonna borrow it from work overnight but i didnt think of it until the last minute. Im trying to convince myself not to get it yet, cause i have heaps of games that i haven't even opened yet which i've had for months. I even bought a second copy of littlebigplanet for some reason :S

Marco! *$1,000*

Ugh, ok, Pollo! *$1,000*

That really made me laugh.

**Piggus** · 4 Weeks Ago

Fuuuuuuuuck that's chapter 16 right? I've heard a lot about it lol. I cannot wait to get there haha. I love when games give you a few moments of downtime like that.

Part of the reason it looks so good is because Naughty Dog works in the same building as the ICE team of Sony. They do nothing more than developing new graphic technologies for the PS3.

I completed it today. I can honestly say that there was no level I disliked. The whole story is just amazing. From the snow levels, to the village levels, just everything is :M Also the city level is superb. Possibly my most favourite level.

Multiplayer is awesome as well. It was one of the main reasons I got this game. I played the demo, and I couldn't stop playing it until it expired.

I'm in the Sanctuary right now so I think I might be coming up on the end. This is by far the greatest PS3 game yet, even surpasses MGS4 which I didn't think it would do. Graphics, single player, multiplayer, controls, acting, humor, it's ALL there. If there ever was a game that truly lived up to the hype, this is it. Great job ND.

Also unlike MGS4, which caters to a certain group of people or fans of the series, EVERYONE can play Uncharted 2 and enjoy it.

That's what I like about MGS though, it makes me feel superior.

Not long had a ps3 so just playing through MGS4 for my first time now, onto crying wolf so will finish this then go out and purchase Uncharted 2, the demo was magiccc.

Any level with enough water to swim, I did it the first time on the roof of the hotel, one of the rooftops has a pool, I dived in to trigger that conversation. Do it at other points to to trigger different conversations.
