Beagle, i agree. Im addicted to the MP, played it almost all of yesterday, but it is hugely flawed and causes my blood pressure to go through the roof due to pure rage. So many players wasting my time, either by just being so crap, or just not caring. Seen so many afks, just joining a game and sitting there doing nothing but dying, then seen other players actively helping the other team win by running at them and never shooting.

In ye olden days of PC gaming i would just up sticks and find another server, but the whole framework of matchmaking in every game makes it so easy for people to just troll games.

Had a few funny bugs aswell, one of which forced me to leave the game, had been shot, and when i spawned a nade went off under me, ended up in limbo, not dead, not alive and totally unable to do anything all while the screen was twitching and flicking between corpse and life.

I had fun kicking 3 people in a row off the top of a ladder. Face pops up...BOOT. So much fun to watch them flying down a ravine.

Also, just completed the game. I'm reluctant to say it is the best game I've played only because it frustrated me on a number of occasions. There was far too much combat. Many times I would fight through a bunch of enemies and be killed by a rocket for example. The game would then throw me back to the very beggining of that section. WHY?!?! It is easy to overlook stuff like this though when the game tells a great story with incredible animation and voice acting. I firmly believe this is the best looking game I've ever played. Perhaps Crysis technically beats it but no other game has almost every building interior unique from the rest. There is just so many objects scattered around and detail in every nook and cranny.

I cannot wait to see what Naughty Dog do next.

I'm on chapter 14 Tunnel(something) about 3hrs45 into the game, borrowed it off my mate yesterday so far its been a good game, best game i've played on the ps3 by far, i like the witty writing that keeps me wanting to get to the next cut-scene to hear some more, the combat is tighter than the first but not great and the presentation is excellent, all in all so far a solid game.

My friends list has 5 ppl on it, none of which have uncharted 2. Most of my gaming is on the xbox, most of the people i know have an xbox, so gettin friends together aint a solution.

Beagle, ive had the same issues with single player aswell, just frustrating sections, usually not issues with combat but controls. Trying to hide against a wall only to hide on the side of the thing in open view, or trying to climb something only to jump over the barrier beside it. Thankfully the abundance of checkpoints means im never much further back, but i have something like 32 continues from checkpoints on normal which is bordering on too human figures, most of which id say are caused by random control issues.

I realize we all have our opinions and I respect your guys' opinions, don't think I don't. I didn't mean to sound disrespectful. I just annoyed when people say "best game ever" as there really is no such thing as "best" in videogames. It would be like saying best book or best food. Not a perfect analogy I know, but you get the point.

I just think games that created and/or first mastered genres deserve a little more respect for games like Uncharted 2, that while better than those games by today's standards, are only so great b/c they stood on the shoulders of much greater games to get to that point. Make sense? Not sure if i'm being clear. I'm NOT ripping on uncharted 2, I agree it's one of the most polished and excellent single player experiences I've ever had.

I just wanted to make clear my original point. No biggie...

I didn't claim that uncharted 2 was the best game ever. I said it is definately one of the best games I've played.

same. beagle used example likes zelda OOT but that was never a game i enjoyed, and i havnt enjoyed one since then either. the series just doesnt appeal since i think it's repetative trash, no matter how "fresh" it was at the time. uncharted 2 is far better then any game i've played.

it is also easy as hell to say what is the best things in life, becasue it's opinion based. i think pulp fiction is the best film i've seen, i think the best food is spicy chicken fajitas, i think the best book is roald dahl george's marvellous medicine, and i think the best album ever is slipknot's self titled. it's my opinion so it's right for me, you may not agree, but then that would be your opinion now wouldnt it?

As you say its all about your own opinion, what you may herald as the best game ever others wont, for me KOTOR and Gears of War 2 have yet to bettered, but its all opinions.

It all would be better if we just put the little word "my personal" in front of everything to avoid this kind of things IMO.

No, unless you're quoting facts(12 months in a year, etc.) it's all your opinion. You shouldn't have to say shit about IMO or w/e afterward in order to please some touchy folks.

With that said, I'll give this a go after I'm done with Borderlands. I know it'll be GOTY, so I'm in no real rush. Also, I'm broke.

Never met anyone before who actually thinks they have a best food ever or best movie ever, when there are so many great choices.

Interesting gap in how to look at the world. Must be a cultural thing. I don't know anyone quite so single-minded. That's not an insult, just an observation.

And slipknot? really, slipknot? Now it all makes sense ;-P

Just kidding btw, I'm not taking this discussion seriously at all in case that wasn't clear through text. Just find it funny whenever I hear "best ever" comments. Always puts a smile on my face.

Pulp Fiction is a damn fine movie, but i dont have a best movie, because i have to many faves
Best food ever is Cheese(cathedral city) and jam (harvesy) on toast :D fricken awesome

Berst album... oooo i have to agree with Korn its fucking awesome.

But this game is just absolute brilliance :) so happy i day oned this, but i need brutal legend :(

And kenshin, i find that you have to put IMO because most people on the internet assume your talking facts.

it isnt single minded, if it was i wouldnt give any other games a chance due to my "best game ever" but that isnt the case. i like a lot of books, a lot of films, a lot of games, a lot of food, but as with everything, everyone has a preference, and the list i posted where mine. some people can be pretty undecisive about games and thus cant make a list of their top ten to save their life, never mind name their number one game, but i can, and it's a relatively easy task, sure games like ico, shadow of the colossus, MGS etc are AMAZING games, that would easily make my top 5, but uncharted 2 is a better game then all of those imo, and thus, for me, it is the best game ever.

I kinda admire people who can have a best (insert word here), because I could never for the life of me choose just one thing to claim the title. When it comes to food, I'd edge towards the pizza at Pizza Express, then I'd be thinking about the chicken pita at Nando's, then the spaghetti bolognese my mum used to make all those years ago... see how hard I'm making it for myself? Then onto video games: I'd edge towards Perfect Dark or Goldeneye, but then I'd remember how frickin' awesome PES5 was on the PS2. But then I'd think about games like Abe's Oddyssey, Crash Bandicoot - the first one of course - Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto 3, Baldur's Gate, Final Fantasy 7 and 9, and that's before I've even thought about the outstanding games of this generation, such as Oblivion, Gears of War 2 or Halo 3. Man, don't even get me started on music albums - we'd be here for days.

The only 'best' I could ever give a definitive answer to is the best film - or set of films - of all time: The Lord of the Rings. Never to be topped.

Does anyone know how to use the taunts online?

And FFS. The L2 button is so god damn sensitive. If I put my pad down to go do something and come back I always throw a fucking grenade. /rant

you know there is a pause button right? that should stop the accidental pressing of the L2 (and R2) button...now demon's souls doesnt have a pause button so it is a genuine issue. but if you mean online, what the hell are you doing wandering off to do something else in the middle of a game?

anyway, taunt is x when you're stood still
