From playing the demo I have to say that Uncharted 2 multiplayer is...

... not really so hot.

Their choice to make the game rated "T" is fine with me, but the result is pretty bad hit detection online. I Halo you see the armor begin to spark and crackle, in Gears and Resistance you see blood gush from the person your gunning down. In Uncharted you see... nothing. The bullets might as well just have gone right though them. Every so often the character will let out a yelp of pain, but that's about it.

Other disappointments abound in the customization options. Resistance 2 is still the only PS3 multiplayer title that has even come close to holding a candle to Halo 3's options. In Uncharted you have the same old assortment of "How many kills do you want?" Or, "How long you wanna' play for?" Additionally, they pulled a Gears-o-War and you can only play as characters seen in the single player game. Some might call this a good design choice for a single-player based series but I call it lazy. Give me some character customization.

It's not all bad, though. The online co-op seemed fun and the Gold Rush and Plunder modes were fun. Overall I am left with the feeling of...

... meh.

My hype has dropped. :(

cool story bro...oh and i just LOVE your halo odst sig and avatar.....ReaperV7

Beta =/= demo, if people understood this maybe games would get some beta testers that actually, i dont know, beta the game.

It's good and pretty polished as a demo (I played it in beta), but I couldn't get into it. With that said, though, like most games, I'm getting Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for its single player component.

Why do people still say "cool story" and all that? It's getting a tad bit old.

And NAPK1NS is no lem. He has called me out when I said stuff about PS3 and/or its games. He loves GoW, too. I know he bought the GoW PSP the same week I did.

[QUOTE="ReaperV7"]cool story bro...oh and i just LOVE your halo odst sig and avatar.....NAPK1NS

Doesn't matter to me. I just want the game for the single player experience.

[QUOTE="ReaperV7"]cool story bro...oh and i just LOVE your halo odst sig and avatar.....NAPK1NS

No, you're a for a wide number of other reasons, ones that it isn't worth it mentioning in this thread. But if you like Halo 3 mp you're in luck, I heard that a new game is coming out that has an mp exactly like H3. And they only charge full price for it.

Back to the thread, the reason why there's no blood was explained by ND. When you're getting shot at in Uncharted you're not getting hit, but the probability of getting hit increases. When you get hit you die. It's a way to not show so much blood and to tone down the violence for that T rating.

Indeed. Cows have been so defensive lately, especially when it comes to Halo or Forza, or if you say anything about Uncharted 2 that isn't "omg itz teh bestest game to evar come out, like omygod, buttercupdoggydoo!". I don't get it. Uncharted 2 will be the bees knees, but lay off it guys, and please stop assuming things that have no grounding in reality.

[QUOTE="Ratchet_Fan8"]And btw,is blood really THAT important? >_> come on,thats a little bit flawed arguement cutmaclass1

That is a nice opinion. Thing is I honestly do not care but I want to know this. Does Uncharted 2 online have dedicated servers?

As for customization as mentioned earlier its still just a demo a bare bones demo that gives you just enough to decide if you like it or not. So we really can't rag on it just yet. What type of character customization would you like to see? I for one would like to play with the characters from 1 like Eddie or Drake's original skin. do you meanlike changing their outfits or mixing and matching body parts?

You are wrong because I saw when lemmings disregarded every website that said ODST was okay and gave it a 7 or 6. Cows do the same as well I presume.

Meh..I'm really enjoying it.I love sneaking up on someone and snapping there neck :twisted:

Perhaps because they were websites and blogs that no one has ever heard of? That's only common sense to ignore those, as many SWs posters in the past have been found guilty of writing reviews on made up sites or blogs to bash games. We use credible and well known sites, not sites that no one has heard of that give a game a 1.5. That's just a load of **** to anyone.

damn TC still hasen't responded to my post, hmm maybe if I call him a horrible fanboy lemming he will responded. ;) On a different note is it possible grab someone from cover and snap their neck?

good post, very informative.my hype has also dropped and i may not be picking this one up right away...i bought uncharted, beat it in a week and sold it. i was impressed with the graphics but that was about it. i had no desire to ever play it again :(

i was going to buy this game day one, but i figured their would be tons of good replay value with the multiplayer, but from what you just said the multiplayer sounds tacked on. for me to spend 60$ bucks on a game it must be legit and have plenty of replay value. i got the original uncharted for 25 bucks and i feel i got my moneys worth, so i may just wait to pick this one up

The cinema mode really is great, there's nothing better than watching yourself finish top :P

To be honest when it comes to online customization and all that jazz doesn't really matter much to me. As long as it's fun I'm perfectly happy. Also, I remember there being blood in the beta. Did they remove it or am I just crazy and have no idea what I'm talking about?

Laxer04

I disagree with the TC, I would desribe it as being like a Tps version of CoD4 with the perks/booster options and you can customize your weapons in the Co-op modes. You can also level up to about lvl 60 (I think). Then you have the Medals you can earn for doing different things like in SFIV and you can unlock lots of other things like taunts, skins, characters you can play as etc... But this is just the Beta so in the main game there is going to be many other modes and unlocks.
