I would play this game, but it seems pretty racist. The white American guy thinks he can just go to third world countries and take what isn't his and shoot all the natives. It seems to perpetuate the hegemonic relationship the white male has with other cultures.

I wasn't really thinking about story continuity (there's that too), but about scenarios where you're specifically alone, or acting alone. They'd either have to change it completely (like the ice caves) or have the other character stand around like a jackass. Separate co-op levels are better, but a bigger selection would be nice.

Obviously it would be different if there were two players. That's a given.

Lucretius · « **Reply #364 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:21:50 PM »

man, I got stuck again in the environment. I was standing on a log and Sully was in front of me. I tried to jump off and got stuck in the air. Couldn't get out. There were no enemies around, but the game must have figured out that I was stuck because it decided to just kill me.

Loving the production and cut scenes. I'm having a good time overall with the game, but I don't think the gameplay is as tight as I'd like it. Games like Gears and Batman just have this game-ness about them that I appreciate, where I always feel like I know what is going to happen when I input the controls. Uncharted 2 is lacking that. But not enough to ruin the game for me.

bork · « **Reply #365 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:24:46 PM »

I never got stuck on anything, but the game locked up on me twice. Once on chapter 25 right after a fight scene, and then again when replaying a chapter (I skipped a cut scene and the game just hung on the loading screen).

duckman2000 · « **Reply #366 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:31:16 PM »

I think some of you have a really weird recollection of Gears. This is so fast and fluid compared to that, and I couldn't even imagine playing through something like the village shootout with the clunky Gears gameplay model. Unfortunately, they share the sticky cover thing, but I'm assuming that's just going to be a thing with cover shooters. Aiming and shooting is spot on, which is an improvement from Uncharted 1.

As for bugs, I've only encountered one issue so far, where I got stuck in a place I obviously shouldn't have been in. Managed to get out of the loop before it sent me through the floor.

Yeah, and then the question is if it's worth it to compromise what they have there now. Ideally there would be two parallel campaigns that differed depending on whether or not you play co-op, but that's never going to happen.

Lucretius · « **Reply #368 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:45:33 PM »

I didn't mean to directly compare this with Gears. It's apples and oranges in many ways. Same with this and Batman. I guess my point was that I'm enjoying Uncharted despite what I consider rather loosey gameplay. You can take that as a knock against the game, but I think it's a compliment... this game obviously has enough other good things going for it that I'll keep coming back to it.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #369 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:51:16 PM »

I don't take it as a knock or anything, I just honestly don't understand it, especially since Gears is such a clunker and the comparison threw me off. Either that or I've just gotten accustomed to it, but this latest chapter really put it to the test, and everything felt spot on.

Well, as spot-on as shooter controls can be with a DS3.

Need some help with a puzzle near the end of the game.

That animal/colored object puzzle in the tower. I got the objects lined up with the animals no problem, and I thought I had the letters solved, but it's not moving the story forward, so I clearly got it wrong. Any suggestions?

Lucretius · « **Reply #371 on:** October 14, 2009, 11:17:15 PM »

I think the one element I wish were better is the jumping. Then I realized that the two games I mentioned in my previous post don't have jumping at all. I guess sometimes I think I can reach a ledge and I can't and the jumping animation seems not quick enough for me. I think as I get on with the game and just become more familiar with visual clues it won't be an issue.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #372 on:** October 14, 2009, 11:20:20 PM »

I was actually going to ask earlier if maybe it was the addition of jumping that threw you off. I agree with the jumping feel, but I wonder if it's really the game, or if it's just me not being used to jumping so much in games these days. I also think Infamous has spoiled me on effortless jumping with its sticky platforming and magneto-jumps. On the upside, Infamous also primed me for the vertical gameplay.

bork · « **Reply #373 on:** October 14, 2009, 11:27:33 PM »

Fun multiplayer hi-jinx so far:

-Noob-comboing (shotgun+punch) the same guy twice in the row who runs to the same spot I hide in during two rounds of elimination.
-Evading a rocket launcher blast, killing the guy with a melee attack, and then immediately after using his RPG two to kill two annoying non-stop chattering bitches at the same time to win the match, making sure to point and laugh (taunts rock) multiple times afterwards. After the match, one of the two guys goes "Freaking 'leetedge,' worst player I've ever seen!"

-Hiding on the side of a cliff, a guy sees me and runs over, I jump up, he clings to the cliff, he jumps up, I cling to the cliff, then I get too close and he throws me off.

I gotta save the replay of that double kill match.

First person wouldn't work very well. The game is made with third person in mind; maybe you're sucking because you are trying to play it like an FPS.

Lyte's Uncharted 2 Triple Take Down:

There were three players on the opposite team in this elimination match.

Here's #1. He had an RPG and was a pretty bad shot with it. I ran around a corner, came out the other side, and hit him with a shotgun+melee (AKA "the noob") combo.

Here comes #2! He just saw his buddy get taken down and is COMING FOR VENGEANCE!

...Too bad he's a lousy shot!

#3 joins the fray. Is he any better at aiming than his friend is?

...Apparently not. But wait! I've hit a wall...nowhere left to run!

But since I have an RPG, all I need to do is turn around and fire. Double kill for the win!

Opponent #2 wouldn't stop bitching about his loss and called me the "worst player ever" afterwards. Good times!

I remember playing the Uncharted 2 beta after playing Infamous and got annoyed that I was so slow and sluggish to climb a freaking latter. I could scale a building in the time it took Drake to climb a few feet. It's been a while since I've played Infamous so that wasn't as jarring in the full game.

to anyone who's played the first Uncharted recently, how different is the jumping and wall-climbing, if at all? I remember the first game had pretty quick wall-scaling. It felt quick and snappy, but had the effect of making Nathan look like a superhero monkey. The climbing animation in Uncharted 2 seems to be less monkey-like. Not sure if they slowed it down or not.

The story's getting pretty cool. Nathan winds up in Tralla La, a tribal village in the mountains where nobody has the concept of money. But some of the villagers are captivated by a bottlecap in his pocket. So he goes back to civilization, and then returns to Tralla La with the gift of a few thousand bottlecaps. The townspeople inadvertently turn the bottlecaps into currency and large-scale conflict breaks out. Game just keeps getting more awesome

It was still a dumb decision to have that part in there twice. Plus it changes the story from what you get in the intro, so it makes no sense.

There is always that big disconnect between the cutscenes and gameplay. For what it's worth, I thought they did a good job at addressing those things throughout the game. Like

spoiler (click to show/hide)

near the end a guy tells Drake that he's pretty much a psycho murderer and massacred hundreds in just that day. They also explain why he's so acrobatic with an in-game conversation where Elena makes fun of him for being in the Circus when younger. Then there is the usual "I'm sick of all this damn climbing!" "oh, another ladder to pull down? just like the fire escape" and other lines like that.

U2's boss fight isn't a "fight" at all. The original's fit in more with way the game was trying to be movie-like. I've been reading that people found the U2 boss fight hard because

spoiler (click to show/hide)

they didn't realize that you're not supposed to actually fight the guy. It did take me a few tries to beat him, mainly because if you stop running or are too slow to make a jump/climb, you get shot the fuck up. He was easy to beat once I got used to the running path; you just keep moving and run n' gun all the flammable blue shit. I also liked the brief running/jumping segment following that, plus the banter between the characters at the very end. Chapter 26 to the credits is the ending, and it was good in my book.
