Uncharted 2 - Among Thieves

    I actually think the

    Quote

    last boss fight

    was really good, it actually emphasized what makes Uncharted unique, the platform and shooting game play.

    The only thing I would point out as being less than optimal would be the beginning of the game. Although I think their use of stealth gameplay is quite clever later in the game, making it optional and not forcing it down your throat, then the Istanbul mission did feel like a 20 minute long stealth tutorial that you didn't really need.

    But then again I didn't mind it at all when I was playing it, after all, I didn't know how adrenaline pumping it would get later on

    Go back to wow.

    I don't want to finish it, I'm at the last (I think) chapter, have had such a good time with this game that I will probably not feel like playing another game for a year.

    It has it's flaws and some areas are not as polished as most of the game, but it is easily the game I've had most fun with in years I think (except for quake live).

    I dont see how you guys can go on like its not Cladia Blacks voice in the game............. .......... .....

    Probably opening a can of worms here, but... what's wrong with Claudia Black?

    Yeah, the voice acting and writing is some of the best I've heard in a game. In fact, it makes this game funnier than almost any other game I've played, exactly in the same way I find Harrison Ford's characters in Raiders or Empire Strikes Back funny. It's that flying by the seat of your pants action/adventure sarcasm and irony that's easy to attempt but difficult to pull off. And yes, this does mean Uncharted 2's writing is actually quite derivative. Like I care? It's still fraktacularly awesomeh!

    Cladia Black's work on the Cloe character in Uncharted 2, while not funny like Drake, was expertly done imho.

    PS/Edit: Thanks for using the spoiler formatting for any spoilers in your posts. For those of us who have not quite finished the SP it's much appreciated.

    I just think she's extremely annoying and obnoxious and I hate her. I hated her in farscape, and had to stop watching the show midway through. I tried to forget her, but then she showed up in stargate sg-1 as well and ruined that show for me too.

    I'm not saying she's a terrible actor or that you guys should hate her too, it was mostly just me joking a little about it, but I really do hate here and she ruined the game for me

    Maybe I could order it with german voice acting or somethin

    Ah. I had no idea who the voice actor was when i started playing it so hence it was not ruins its for me. Nasty hobbitses ruins everythings!

    Fair enough. I happen to like her in Farscape and I think she's a great actress/voice actress, but I see what you mean. You hate her for the same reasons I hate Jack Black, which is the reason I refuse to buy or play Brutal Legend.

    Love Claudia black, got more exited for dragon age when I heard her voice. She's up there with Cam Clarke and Jennifer Hale as far as I'm concerned.

    On that note Tim curry and captain Janeway are also in dragon Age origins.

    The first 3/4 of this game had me all giddy. I loved the story, the presentation, I even loved the long cut scenes because of the great dialogue. The level of detail the environments makes me cry, lol. Make you want to work harder on your own stuff.

    However, as I play through more of it I am finding things that really bug me (gameplay wise). I don't want to spoil anything for those that haven't played it yet but maybe we can set up a thread to talk openly for peeps that have finished it.

    there is a deal a guy at work got, which is get a contract phone for a year, and get a free ps3 - i think i'll go for that ;D

    I saw some of them around here, then realised I'd be paying about £250 a year + any other bills (there are tons of limits to those phones like 1 hour max call time per call, else charge) for it just to get a PS3...

    Guess it's ok if your contract phone is currently less than £20/mo otherwise not worth it. Doesn't help me as I'm on the basic vodafone contract of £14/mo and unlimited texts/300 mins a month.

    finished it some weeks ago and loved it i ma doing a small review batch here on mapcore so here is my review:

    loved

    + everything

    hated

    -nothing ( ok maybe the mandatory stealth stuff in the beginning but later on i loved using the stealth when it was an option so it doesnt really count sinc ei dont hate the stealht mechanics)

    bottom line:

    game of the year ... if you have a ps3 its a must buy if you don't have a ps3 you should consider getting one for this game !

    i gotta say that this is one of the best games i've played in its genre. it's like playing an interactive action movie. from start to end, it was epic all along.
