The TRUTH about Uncharted 2

Why are all of you still at this? Who cares if he thought the game was an 8 in his book? Everyone has different tastes and expectations in games and that's all right. All it matters is if you enjoy your copy of the game. Sheesh, wow, can I say that you all are Sony Fanboys? Huh?

ha dude im sorry your not going to find anyone here that is going to share your opinion. So why dont you just go with your 360 fanboys and play with your red rings

I think the hype killed the game for you, just like it did MGS4. That's what I think.

I enjoyed Unchared 2. 8)

On normal, there were som frustrating glitches, and some parts where it was really just unclear where to go. Other times, the way to go was so obvious, but unresponsive or complicated manuevers made me oblvious to them for another 5-10 minutes wasted. The checkpoint system rocked, as it really took frustration out

NuKkU

maybe u suck???;)

anyways theres no need to troll man you can put ur opinion on the game but if u put it that way every game rips off another game thats how games get better its your opinion and ur the only bad opinion i heard about the game

Alright since ive seen alot of people her praising the game, and seeing as im on the 25th chapter (saving it for tomorrow, dragging out the story makes it funner imo) ive definatley come to the conclusion it was a good game. Yes, a good game. As everyone already knows, its absolutley nothign revolutionary. it does everything, but no better than any other game. Prince of Persia had better wall scalings and platforming. Mgs had nicer stealth attacks. Bourne Supremacy had cooler fist to fist quicktime events. And the shooting is basically a blend of gears of war and mgs. All in all, if u stripped off the story, this game would be really nothing more than 8.0 material. Its just not that good of a game. The Story is the ONLY and i repeat ONLY reason i even kept playing this game. On normal, there were som frustrating glitches, and some parts where it was really just unclear where to go. Other times, the way to go was so obvious, but unresponsive or complicated manuevers made me oblvious to them for another 5-10 minutes wasted. The checkpoint system rocked, as it really took frustration out. And one of the worst things, is how old the shooting scenarios have gotten. Hiding behidn boxes for 10 minutes swithcing off as hordes of enemies snipe at you get TERRIBLY boring. And i mean VERY boring. Even though its a fair challenge sometimes, and a joke others, its never fun. Stealthing around is actually fun. I had more fun in MGS easy mode running and gunning through it liek an action game, then i did with this action game which was meant to be an action game. The scaling got really annoying, and the puzzles were pretty shallow- although they looked very elaborate.

I really cant see myself replaying this, but i could see myself rewatching all the cutscenes, and playing the hell out of the multiplayer. If your not into stories, i say avoid this game. If your just looking for multiplayer, you should also avoid it. ive spent roughly under 10 hours, my counter says 10:44 ish, but i paused and left the house for an hour and a half today (didnt know that time paused in cutscenes count).

its 8-9 matieral, no where above 9.5

Wow this is pathetic, the guy has an opinion people no reason to have a go at him and say crap about him, he has some valid points and his own opinion on the game, it shouldn't affect your opinion in any way and he isn't saying you guys shouldn't like the game so stop the defensive fanboy crap. People are entitled to their own opinions, just because he's on some PS3 forums doesn't mean he has to love every single PS3 exclusive.

Prince-Noctis

agreed. as someone who hasn't bought the game I actually appreciated the review. im surprised people got this upset about it, i couldn't imagine getting even annoyed at someone who thought a game i loved sucked, what's the point of this kind of forum if the only opinion that matters is yours or one similar to yours?

You know what, everyone deserves to have their own opinion.... and while I disagree with you, I respect it. On that note, DO NOT come in here and expect NOT to get attacked when you titled your post "The TRUTH about Uncharted 2" because now your not making it your opinion, you're trying to make it fact in which case its not. Watch this...

The TRUTH about Halo is that it was micosoft's first actually decent game with a good multiplayer, a masked hero with ps2 graphics and a crappy story. Take away the multiplayer and the game is a 7.0 at best!

Now that's my honest opinion but it's not true for everyone and it should not be titled as such.

Wow your such a fanboy yourself without even realizing it you ignorant hypocrite. He has a right to his own opinion and just because you are such a casual gamer who obviously thinks Uncharted 2 is probably the best game ever who btw probably never even played the first does not mean you have the right to mock somebody for disapproving of your overrated cliched game.

i meant without the story. if you start + skip all the cutscenes, this is quite frankly a bad game...

Scianix-Black

Then, if you skip all the cutscenes in MGS4, you have a bad game.

Skip all the cutscenes in Call of Duty, bad game.
Skip all the cutscenes in Resistancer, bad game.
Skip all the cutscenes in Ratchet & Clank, bad game.
Skip all the cutscenes in inFamous, bad game.

Don't need to beat a game to identify any problems you have with it.....and to the comment above you don't need other peoples approval of your opinions to tell people about it. I can't believe the ignorance on these forums sometimes.

Well, I apologize for my "ignorance", good sir. True, you don't need to beat a game to comment on its gameplay, but he made mention of the STORY which you would have to complete the game to have a full handle on. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I know not everyone will like this game. Also, further apologies for not noting that the OP said he was at Chapter 25, but still he hasn't finished it. I'm just saying. There are games I haven't played enough to effectively judge them, so I won't. I didn't like Halo or Gear of War from what I played of them, but I didn't get very far. Plus, this was my first foray into the dual analog control scheme so I wasn't used to it. I still plan on replaying those games to get a better feel for them.

Why do you write in the title "the truth about uncharted 2". What you say arent facts but opinions. Flamebait.

I know this post was not directed towards me but, I am not a casual gamer and I think this is one of the best games this gen. Is there something wrong with that?

He's played enough of the game to know how the story ends, it's just one big hollywood cliche, he's on 25, there's one level left, stories unfolded as much as it's going to.

I'm not being sarcastic here, but do you dislike the game? It seems like you harbor a great deal of disdain for it, yet your collection of trophies suggests that the only PS3 games you've played are the first and second game. Just wondering.

Add to this the fact that you haven't finished either game I'm not sure if you're on effective grounds to judge it. If gameplay isn't game breaking, the final take on it should be reserved for completion. I watched Burn After Reading and hated it, but I was pretty tired and falling asleep when I was watching it. I'm making it a personal goal to rewatch it while fully awake to give it a second chance. The same can be said of games. Demos aren't always effective means of judging a game, nor is only playing a portion. The inFamous demo made that game look okay at best, same for Batman: Arkham Asylum. Those games were both critically and in my opinion great games.

I'm not bashing you or the TC. It just seems like you're going out of your way to berate the game when you haven't given it a chance.

Oh ha ha I had to make a new account two weeks ago cause I got temp banned from the PSN on my other account and I was bored waiting for Uncharted 2 so I rented out the first one. And It's not like I really dislike the game or anything I just know that's it's nothing special, aside from the great graphics I really see nothing great about it. The reason I really keep coming back to the thread is just defending the posters opinion cause i'm sick of fanboys crucifying people who don't like overhyped exclusives.

Oh and I have finished both, I finished the first Uncharted ages ago when I bought a PS3 and if you notice I have the Charted! Easy, Normal and Hard trophies on Uncharted 2.........

Damn double post...sorry.

Some of my favorites are MGS3, Resident Evil 4, CoD4, most Final Fantasy games, Max Payne series, and some games i'm looking forward to are MGS:R, Max Payne 3, Red Dead Redemption, MW2 and my most anticipated is Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Of course there's many more in both those lists though...but yer they're the games i've found fun and they're the games i'll probably enjoy in the future.

I need to play the MGS series in its entirety. I suppose I'm a bad gamer in that respect :oops:

The funny thing? I actually own MGS4. Haven't played it yet because I want to play the others first. To get a small taste without getting into the game I played the demo. I liked it. I just want to play the others to get caught up with the story first. Luckily, my PS3 is backwards compatible :D

The Resident Evil games are decent from what I've played, though admittedly I haven't played 4 or 5 (other than the demo for 5). Red Dead looks good. Not sure if I'll pick up MW2. I probably will, but I'm one of the ones in the minority that liked World at War better than Modern Warfare.

Yeah you need to play the other MGS games first, I personally didn't like MGS4 much probably the least in the whole series but MGS3 was amazing. Resident Evil 4 was the best Resident Evil game too but I didn't like 5 much, and I also liked World at War more than Modern Warfare as an actual war game, Modern Warfare is great but didn't feel like war, World at War filled that gap but would have been much better if they ditched the WWII setting.

first let me say that your entitled to your opinion tc, but so are we. you posted a topic about a game that has many PS3 owners jumping up and down. So of course your topic is going to be picked apart. you should have figured this before you posted, and made sure that everything you are saying makes logical sense so that ppl wouldn't be able to pick apart your post. obviously you failed to do that. why would anyone strip away key elements of anything, and then rate it on what's left? you should rate something based on what it is as a whole rather than picking it apart, and only choosing what you find to be important. I believe that if you would have simply stated that you find that Uncharted 2 hasn't really brought anything new to the series then ppl would have been like 'ok' and moved on, but you did not go that route. just think your thoughts through for next time you feel the need to rip up a game on a forum such as this. it may not go as you first planned:P

btw Prince of Persia (although repetitive) was a very entertaining game with above average platforming. I had to stick up for PoP after I read what you had previously wrote about it. not my favorite PoP, but it was still deserving of it's high scores.

[QUOTE="mhsdrake"]Hey panda fellow, just out of interest.... what games DO you like?Blue_Panda

So Uncharted 1 is a game you enjoy because it is "just plain fun"...but you think Uncharted 2, which improves upon every single aspect of UC1 in every possible way, isn't very good?

I think you need to stop worrying about and reviewing hype and just focus on the game itself. You are entitled to your opinion, but I just don't think you opinion is based on very solid reasoning. If you like UC1 and think it was fun, then you should think UC2 is even better because everthing about it is better. Instead you imply it is worse and the only reason you seem to give is because it was hyped. Sorry, but that is BS.

I would also add that he isn't even reviewing the game based on its own merits. Who cares if Prince of Persia does platforming better (I disagree with this but whatever), or MGS4 does stealth better...those are totally different games. You can't have your review OR opinion taken seriously if you don't even bother reviewing or discussing the game on its own merits and the experience it offers. That would be like picking apart an Academy Award winning drama by saying, "Well, the lead actor was better in this comedy from 10 years ago. The actress was much better looking in Maxim and the movies theme was better explored in this documentary I once saw. In conclusion, this movie really sucks and shouldn't have won this award." That makes ZERO sense because it never once addresses the movie itself and how it works on its own.

TC, I don't know what you want out of a game really. I mean the dang SP of this game has ruined me. I literally can't breakaway from it to play MP actually. I'm still going back through the levels for the trophies and stuff. But really I mean great action and great story. The game literally never stops to slow down until the much needed puzzles sections for a breather lol.

And to say you didn't know where to go in a linear game is pretty funny actually. Seriously don't people ever think that is actually part of the game aswell. Figuring out the route to take to get from point a to point b? Didn't know a game needs to have a flashing arrows pointing the way for its players geez.

P.S. I loved Mgs4, but really after the first experience I really didn't want to replay it. But Uncharted 2 I'm going to have to beat it on Hard to unlock crushing inorder for me to get the platnium trophy and I'm definitly looking forward tothe challenge :)

I disagree with everything you say. I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's what I've been saying all this time "just more of the same" it was a good game. Graphicly I did't really think it was all that better neither.

ok whatever.
