This made LOL hard!!sometimes you like to take a piss, hahaha damn.

Going by the responses to the term singleminded and the 'best of" comments, I can tell the point I was trying to make fell on deaf ears. I don't think this will ever go anywhere so I'll just agree to disagree on how ridiculous the "best ever" idea is. I'll just say that if you think indecision is the factor, you are looking at it all wrong. But this is about Uncharted 2, so I'll retire this already tired mode of thought.

Coming from someone who hates movies like Indiana Jones and National Treasure, I'll just say this game really proved something by making me say best storyline of the year so far. I'm not a huge fan of how the draw out the Drake character all the time, a little too one dimensional at times, but the overall charm of the characters and set pieces cannot be denied. U2 has created by far one of the best "sense of adventure" games I have ever played.

The game might lack originality, but it more than makes up for it in charm, polish, and overall attention to all the little details that add up to one amazing experience. Anyone who owns a PS3 would be silly not to give this game a try. And if you have a stomach for a less "simple" game, go for Demons Souls. It might not be as flashy as U2, but it's got a thousand times more depth and challenge to those interested in a truly original and exciting new game. Can't say enough about how impressed I am with that game as well.

But Nietz, thats your opinion, this is ours.

Anyway... completed it last night, thought the ending was a wonderfull finish to a fantastic game.

i wish i knew about that earlier, i got so frustrate with that fight on normal after dying about 20 times that i just dropped it to very easy out of pure frustration. seriously, the whole of demon's souls was easy as hell compared to that fight.

Will be using that for crushing :D

After completing the game I have only to say: AMAZING. There are so many things going there, so many things that no one have made so far in other games. Level design is simply Marvellous and ending was epic. My expectations about how TPP game should be done are now very high.Me too:D and roxwell, thanks for the tip ;) now I'm playing on Hard.

Hmm, I beat the main boss on the first go. All I did was run away and then shoot the blue sap when he ran next to it. That's all you have to do for the entire fight, other than mash the square button when he grabs you. I think some might be over-thinking the fight. You can shoot while you run away as well, it's really not hard once you practice a little. but that shouldn't be necessary as you can usually keep a good 10 feet in front of him.

I'm having fun with infinite ammo on the hardest level. Silly but still a blast.

i knew what to do (it's a pretty straight forward fight), but the guy just seemed to always be on my ass. not to mention the 3 grenades he ends up throwing, which he throws ahead of you no matter which way you're running. the guy was a pain in the ass. as i said, demon souls was a peice of piss next to that fight, and that is a game often critisized for it's excessive difficulty.

and what made it worse, was i'd get him to the 4th stage of the fight, and then i'd die, resulting in the repeat of that whole 10 minute section all over again, at which point i would die, and have to play that 10 minute section AGAIN, and then i'd die...etc. the voice acting is second to non, but after hearing baldy scream at you 10 times it kinda wore thin, hence dropping it to very easy. i'll get round to polishing it off on normal, just not yet.

Slow mo with fat drake is awesome :D

Ok, im on the last fight now and having died a dozen or more times in the first 2 stages i put the game off for the football. This is definately one of the worst boss fights ive ever faced, its relatively simple in concept, but when the boss can randomly kill you in 1 hit (shooting the sap), and even then a couple of shotty blasts can finish you off it ends up being hugely frustrating. I've found myself fighting the controls, fighting the camera AND fighting the boss which just pushes it over the edge from difficult to annoying.

I'm gonna try the tip mentioned above later, if it doesnt work its goin down to easy mode, god help me if i ever try anything harder.

really?? i have beat the game twice now on normal and hard and haven't died once. I found it a breeze.

Riiiight, it is impossible to not die once during the game.

Also, beat the final boss on first try goin back, theres a nice cheat on youtube involving hanging off a pillar and circling round it to confuse the AI...still took a good 10 mins to do, such a cheap boss fight makes me feel no guilt towards cheating.
Goin through it on hard now, 4 chapters in and only deaths are due to missing the odd jump (jumping pressing forward and for some reason it jumps off at an angle....grrr).
Also lvl 31 or 32 in multiplayer....60 - 70% of the time is spent "finding players".

actualllly anything is possible and i bet there are people out there who haven't died once, but seriously though.. i was referring to the final boss fight, which i have yet to die on.

On crushing, he is one hard mother fucker, if his one shot shotguns are not blowing your face clean off the blue sap he hits will, let alone been stunned by the grenades giving him long enough to catch up and force his shotgun down your mouth and blowing the back of you head out...

Done it on crushing last night, me happy bunny now :) .. now for 200 GAU kills......*sigh* so now to find a chapter to have on repeat with GAU turned on.

I bought the game yesterday even though I didnt plan on buying it.
The reasons why I bought it is very simple...ruins, temples, artifacts...etc. very Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones stuff, love it.
Visuals are from the future, seriously this has the best visuals I have seen so far, and add artitectures, and very deep designs on temples and so on it looks amazing, and this is one thing that the first one lacked IMO.

The MP, well its amazingly fun...once you get into a room.
The waiting makes me just shut the MP side off because its very very long, sometimes 5-10 minutes+ or 2 minutes or so on, verry annoying considering I really enjoy the MP, especially on those awesome levels like The Lost City and similair levels like that.

I know that this game is ND's first MP game for Uncharted and I understand, but I am not complaining, but I wish they had also added a room search were a full list of modes, rooms, maps, players, ping was listed, like most MP games out there, would be much easier but also add filter option obviously.

But anyways, once you are in a game, its very very fun IMO, really enjoy it, especially in temples, ruins...etc. considering I love move around in those type locations so its just a big bonus for me :)

Right now I met Tenzin and Karl so those who played it knows where in the game it is, such a fantastic location, love it!

Sath, all games are goin the same way as uncharted unfortunately for multiplayer, matchmaking seems to be here to stay, server browsers are a thing of the past. Thats why i've been moaning the past while, its like one massive step backwards to cater for people who don't have the intelligence to actually use filters. Also, the wait times are partly due to the fact there only seems to be 15 or 16k people playing at any one time, which is kinda pitiful for a AAA title.

Edit: On a lighter note, im on chapter 8 on my third playthrough, this time on crushing to get my last trophy.

man, i'm gagging to play through this again. but between work and all the rentals i get i just havnt had the time. thank god for christmas holidays eh.

Tomarru, I know what you mean. IMO all MP games should have serverlist, makes stuff much easier!
I even waited like 10-15 minutes and it still didin't find any players, soooo annoying!
I love the gameplay and its concept even in MP, ALOT, but the only thing they need to fix is to be able to find players quick and join, even Killzone 2 is easier to get into, but U2 is MUCH more fun.

But I am in the Tibet village place with Tenzin, wow I love it so much!
Uncharted 2 reminds me more of The Mummy series (especially 3 with the whole snow and shangra-lai or whatever you spell it, and I am a huge fan of The Mummy and its concept.
Anyways, I hope ND continues to give us very great locations and settings were its all very ancient and less modern from now on like they do with U2 its great.

i got 100% trophies now, apart from MP with friends, i am giving it a break for a while (usually until the next one comes out then i aplay them all one after a other to get hyped, its just something i do with "most" games.

Also have 100% trophies now, just finished crushing and did a co-op game (which was quite fun). Gonna lend it to a friend and borrow UC1, should be fun.

Free dlc with Uncharted 1 map. Sully's plane is epic.

They should make in the future map with blue sewers from Uncharted 1 (one of my favorite part).

now i've played all the big games this year i can safely say this is my GOTY, nothing has even come remotely close. i just wish i had the time to play through it again....and again, and again....
