The only thing that could be better is the antialiasing, as it can look a little jaggy sometimes
Other than that though, damn
Yeah when one of those gaming award show things gave Modern Warfare 2 the award for best graphics I just sat there like "seriously? are they fucking blind or something?"
I really wish I had a more active PSN friend list.
On average I'll have around 4 people online at the same time, and they'll usually be playing their own games. Assassin's Creed II is the popular choice right now. :?
The one major problem I have with U2's multiplayer still remains as I play it now.
Every single match I join, it always boils down to two things: a decent, semi-skilled team vs DUR HUR IZ DIS GEARS OF WAR team.
I rarely, rarely, RARELY come across a match that's dead even. It's always a matter of one team completely obliterating the waste of brain matter that passes for the other team.
And for some reason I'm always stuck on the receiving end, including players who achieve a 0 score. Seriously, how do you get a zero?
I wish I didn't have to put up with this shit, since MW2 always had a group that's available to party up and play.
Hey guys,
So my adviser went and got one of his posts on our academic blog syndicated onto Kotaku.
As part of the commenting shit storm on Kotaku and our own site, people have been saying that the guard that falls to his not death is obviously seen swimming away and crawling onto a rock.
Is this contrariness from trolls or an actual oversight from the boss?
It's pretty obvious the dude lives, since in Arkham Asylum you toss guys at least 3 stories to a watery splash, yet they still apparently survived (since DC oversaw the game to make sure Bats never offed anyone).
I didn't have problem with it. Clearly he doesn't want to kill museum guards just doing their job but couldn't care less for mercenaries working for an evil asshole.

To be fair, the mercenaries shoot at him, but the museum guards just shine a flashlight at him
I don't remember seeing the guard swim anywhere but he clearly fell into the water which in video game land means he's just fine. Though there was also a time I tranqed a guy and he fell off a ledge to hit his head on the floor...

Except for when you are escaping. Those aren't lasers attached to flashlights, if you know what I mean.
So I just got this and just starting Chapter 3. Great so far.
Was curious, am I just totally making this up or did I read somewhere that Uncharted 2 detects something from the Uncharted 1 (like if you beat it or something) I thought I read something about this..?

IF you go to Medals in the menu thing you can press Square I think and it scans your Uncharted Trophies or something. I did it and got nothing for it. Says "no trophies found" when I clearly have 54% of them. So i dont know.

It is quite fucked up that the same guy later says, "Did you see how I took those guys out (read:kill)? Were you impressed?".
Edit: Same guy = Drake.
Well in that case, he was more joking. The rampant murder is more under protest, but also Naughty Dog says it makes a game. If this was real, he would be murdering about 90% less dudes, but that's a much less exciting game.
Just finished U2...man, that was amazing.:^:
Gorgeous game from beginning to end, why couldn't the latest Indiana Jones flick have been even half as good as this game's story unfolds?
Drake is hardly a saint but I don't see it as a contradiction that he won't murder innocent security guards but doesn't mind slaughtering mercenaries working for evil tyrants.

Yeah. I mean most security guards will try to arrest trespassers before shooting them. Mercanaries, not so much.

So I finally finished Uncharted 2
Yeah those blue guys are garbage
But other than that, satisfying ending. Also hilarious
It's shit like that that's missing from games these days. And it's because they mocap the voice actors and they improv and adlib and shit. I've always thought games should do that, and now they are. It's fantastic
I'm just about done. I think i can say with my 10 hours of play so far that I'm as rubbish at aiming for headshots with an analog stick as I am with a mouse.
Edit: unless I have a FAL and I'm fighting a chain gunner who is 20 feet away and focusing on someone else.
Finally managed to play this game on my own time, and it's as damn near great as people say it is.
My only real issue is that the game's expert sense of pacing and atmosphere falls apart once we hit the monastery and it never really recovers from that. The gunplay becomes incredibly, unbelievably terrible and full of one shot kills.
Strange thing is that I'm still willing to admit that this was the game of the year. Everyone raves about the train level, but I'd be more than able to argue that the game's first half is the best paced game of the decade.
Is there anyway to cheat and unlock crushing? I played through first time on easy so my other half could enjoy the story, but now I want to do a crushing run (And I'd rather not play through hard first).

Ha, I stole one off a dead body in MP once. It was fancy but I think people just wanted to kill me even more.
Anyway, PA people have a clan tag, [WANG]

The co-op is fantastic
It whips out its dick and leaves RE5 to go hang its head in the corner
Happy days ahead.

It's not bitching, it's part of a piece of focused criticism of the game.
What's terminal velocity of a person anyway?

Dude probably drowned in his sleep, or wouldn't have enough strength to swim to shore.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the tanker was just in the NY harbor. He jumped off a bridge to it.
You're not wrong
But that's still quite the task for a person filled with tranquilizer

Hey those guys were clearly evil and doin' all kinds of bad things and out to kill him and his girlfriend
Guys who work for psycho warlords are totally fair game
