Whats so good about Uncharted 2?

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the beta. Graphics are really good, but thats all i found.

Im sure the campaign mode will feature a good story with good voice acting.

But the main problems are the gameplay, and the multiplayer is a bit crap to be honest.

i think after games like metal gear 4/ kz2..etc. ive come toexpect much more.

Did anyone feel the same about the gameplay? on the beta.

I really do hope 8 is not the max no. of players allowed online. It really needs 16 atleast.

i liked it but I didnt like how many bullets it takes to put someone down.

Everything...mostly.

We wont know until We play the final build of the game, everyone who has played the game has loved it with no downsides to the game.

The worst i've heard of the game is A.) some of the stealth combat can be difficult, and B.) the story has to end.

Well you were playing an unfinished build of the game, so it's not fair to judge.

sure it is. A beta serves as the best proxy for what the final built will be like (we're talking about MP here). Unless something is completely off and ND is aware of it, do you honestly think the final built will be notably different from what you've experienced playing the beta? Seriously, when was the last time a dev team fundamentally altered how a game handled and/or played from its beta version.

I've read several reviews for the game and apparently it has some of the best multiplayer on the block.Tikicobra

(edited becasue color looked silly :P)

I guess its just one of those things that you either like or don't like. I've been playing the beta for quite sometime now and I can gladly say that it is the best multiplayer since cod4!

I also think that it is some of the best multiplayer around. I have had more fun with the 2nd beta(one currently running) than some full games multiplayer, Killzone 2 is fun and Demons souls, along with LBP but that is in my list of favorite multiplayer. Oh and 16 people would be too big for Uncharted unless they were to make bigger maps, I like to have a little space to plan my actions not just run around and blindly gun.

I never understood that logic. I mean what can be so different in the final game that can completely change somebody's opinion?

And TC, you don't HAVE to like Uncharted 2. The world is big enough for diverging opinions. That being said, I LOVE the beta and can't wait to play the final product.

I really do hope 8 is not the max no. of players allowed online. It really needs 16 atleast.

If you were really in the beta you would know the max number of players is 10, not 8 like you think.

Not to be rude but you clearly don't understand the difference between a BETA and a Demo.

"The term "beta" refers to a piece of software or web application that's still being developed."

Which means it's initial purpose is to locate and fix bugs. Alot can change, graphics, controls, bug fixes, some things removed, some things added. I hope now you understand the other posters sound logic.

we dont know yet as noone has played the finished product exept that one guy who wont provide any hard evidence but anyway its still to be decided and in the end any conclusion will still be pure opinion

A lot of people like it too because it is like ps3's gears of war.

Ummm. . .did you play the first Uncharted? That's all I need to know Uncharted 2 is going to rock.

@above

It's really nothing like Gears of War except that they are both third person games with guns. similarities end there.

I'd pay full price just to be able to play the demo. Call me crazy but I think it's tons of fun even though I completely suck at it and get extremely frustrated. It's really my first online multiplayer game though so take that for what it's worth.

Uh, I know what a beta is. And you didn't answer my question. What's so different between a beta and a final product? Because all the things you've enumerated are merely about the polishing of a game. They won't completely change one's gaming experience. They won't make a person's opinion turn upside down.

Read what the TC said in his opening post:

So tell me, how will polished graphics, tightened controls, bug fixes, "some things removed" and "some things added" change his opinion if he didn't like the core of the game? Because the core of the game will remain the same.

OK, it really depends on what about the gameplay he didn't like. I mean that's a pretty broad statement. I see what your saying but I still don't think someone should base a game purchase on a BETA. Maybe he didn't like the core gameplay as you say but to me bug fixes and tweaks to controls would change the core of the game but that's just me. I don't expect everyone to like the same stuff and that's fine, I just didn't get what you were trying to say when you said you didn't understand the logic of not basing opinions on a BETA. Although alot can change from the BETA to the final build which may enhance a persons expierence while playing.

Here is a section, copypasted directly from wikipedia.

Thus far Uncharted 2 has received high critical acclaim.

The first publication to review Uncharted 2 was the French edition of PSM3. In their review, they called the game "Long, visually stunning, deep and explosive, Uncharted 2 combines all the qualities you can find in a videogame, and more! A new milestone has been reached in the videogame history." The magazine awarded the game its first ever, 21/20. The second review was by Playstation: The Official Magazine, which awarded the game a perfect score. In their review, they stated, "Forget Game of the Year. This is one of the greatest games of all time!". IGN gave the game a 9.5 out of 10, saying "No, Uncharted 2 is not perfect, but it's closer than pretty much any other game out there these days." Gamesradar gave it 10/10, saying "Simply put, Uncharted 2 is a reason to own a PS3."

Awards

At Sony's E3 media briefing, an Uncharted 2 gameplay demo was shown early in the conference.

Soooo, they are just some of the reasons why im personally excited. But hey, gaming is all personal man, like art. If you dont like it.. you just... dont like it. It doesnt mean your wrong, just means your a human lol.

Did you just say MGS4's online was better than the Uncharted 2 beta? Sorry, but if that's your opinion then no amount of explanation will ever help you.

Uncharted 2 won't be much diff from the first one. It will have better graphics and more environments to explore, but it will still play more like a shooter than an adventure game. (which is too bad considering that the base macanics don't cut the mustard for a shooter)

The only good thing about the multiplayer is it has coop and a good party system. But since the gamplay mechanics aren't good for a shooter, the multiplayer won't be that great IMO. Atleast the single player will have good blockbuster action sequences and cintimatic storyline

Am i the only one that thinks the shooting in Uncharted 2 feels a lot better than the shooting of Uncharted 1, i can't even place my finger on why.

You know, It doesn't matter how good a game is. There is always someone on this forum that bashes whatever game they think will stir people up the most. This post wasn't really one of these cases but what's the deal with people that just post to bash a game..? If you like or dislike a game it seems more useful to write a review rather than coming on here and saying "What's so good about {some game}"

Everything...mostly.

I haven't played the beta, but I know the full game will be amazing!

97 on metacritic.

I love the game.

You can't really tell much about the game by the online multiplayer. It's just shooting, reaction time and accuracy. That's only a small portion of what will be in the single player campaign. There will of course be a story, cutscenes, exploring, platforming, a bit of puzzle solving, etc.

I'll be getting the game for the SP anyway, MP is just gravy.

Not every one has the game yet. But people who do have it will tell you its a great game for graphics, gameplay, and story. Why don't you look on metacritic and read the reviews and see for yourself.
