This game is what we should hold as an example of many great companies coming together and making a stellar game. It wasn't just NG people but Sucker Punch, Insomniac, Bungie and several others. This game is currently in HEAVY rotation on my PS3. It will NEVER leave the house...EVER.
It may not do MW numbers...it may never do them. But I don't care, I want more of these games...let this be one of many other great games to come for any system, for all systems.
That said....I want to bear Drake's children. #uncharted2amongthieves

LOL! We can make this work, science has made lightyears of progress.
Just get me a turkey baser and two fruit roll ups. I got a plan. #uncharted2amongthieves

How do we free our dear Mr. Drake from the confines of his prison of codework and computer hardware? I'm thinking a convoluted experiment a la Weird Science is in order. #uncharted2amongthieves

Or maybe, we get pulled INTO Drake's world.
Sorta like Reboot...it'll take like 4 seasons for us to realize that the entirety of our time in Drake's world was about an hour. #uncharted2amongthieves

Let's do this. #uncharted2amongthieves
11/12/09
Hell yeah! Let's do this!
.....but....HOW? I only have 5 bucks and a strip of bacon.
I think it's going to take more then that. #uncharted2amongthieves

If MacGuyver can make a time-traveling contraceptive ray-gun out of paperclips, non-iodized sea salt, and a plastic straw, gosh darnit, we can port ourselves into this game!
To the lab! And....bring that five bucks. I've a hankering for some Subway. #uncharted2amongthieves

bravo ND. hopefully the holidays push this game even more, with the ps3 being cheaper now. #uncharted2amongthieves

The original Uncharted just went half-price a few months ago, which is when I got it. Granted, it sold me on getting Uncharted 2 right away.
My biggest problem with Uncharted 2: it was one of those games I fly through in a weekend. #uncharted2amongthieves

The only thing he said that hit home with me was how you just opened your notebook and it told how to solve the few puzzles there were. I mean, I wouldn't have had any idea what do to do on a few of em, but that last puzzle made me feel like I was a 2 year old playing with one of those block-in-the-hole-that-fits puzzles. #uncharted2amongthieves

He didn't care for the first Uncharted ("oh, it's a rip-off of Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones!"), either.
I began growing tired of his "humor," however, long before he put out his Uncharted 2 review. So I'm not sure I'll ever watch it. #uncharted2amongthieves

@Phantom6612: That's why I don't know if I'd be willing to pay full price for it. Paying out 60 or so quid for a game I'd finish in a weekend doesn't sit right with me but at the same time, I'd rather give my money to the developer of a good game than to Gamestop for a used copy or some rental service. #uncharted2amongthieves
11/12/09
Besides, if you don't rent, you can play your game over and over and over and over! :-P
From what I've heard about Uncharted, that sounds like something I'd enjoy doing. I've always enjoyed Naughty Dog's games, even if Jak II was really weird. #uncharted2amongthieves

Not shocking he'd trash on Uncharted 2 though. #uncharted2amongthieves

It got to the point where I felt like he was being more pretentious than anything. Perhaps he really did dislike Halo 3 and Smash Brothers Brawl and Uncharted (or, at least, criticize it for being "unoriginal") and Oblivion and Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 and innumerable other games. Or perhaps not; I really can't say.
I'll never understand, though, why someone who rails against sequels, remakes, and reboots lists Silent Hill 2, Spider-Man 2, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (and, to not one but two extents, Portal [remember the freeware game Narbacular Drop? Never to mention the whole Half-Life franchise]) on his list of favorite games. #uncharted2amongthieves

At the rate I finished them, I'm thinking about having an Uncharted marathon as I would for some movies. Hell, those games are cinematic enough at times to decently take the place of films.
@Anyone talking about Yahtzee: I used to find him funny, and sometimes get a laugh out of his more recent stuff. But I don't typically watch ZP--I may watch one if stumble sends it to me.
I've never been too fond of his reviews, in the sense of agreeing with his criticism of some games. While I don't mind some nitpicking at times, it seemed like he blew things way out of proportion and just generally disliked games for odd reasons.
But, meh, that's his opinion. And I think both Uncharted games are great, even with the sequel being a big improvement.

At the time I played the hell out of those games, but I still can't get them trophies. I was really happy with the Uncharted trophy list... these are very doable and may be my first (hopefully, not last) platinum. #uncharted2

Marco!
Polo!
I stumbled across that set by accident and got such a laugh... #uncharted2

I'm not a perfectionist or an achievement whore by any means (well, excluding TF2) but I really wish more devs would think like this. Achievements should be impressive-but-relevant things like "Kill 6 people at once with 1 grenade" or something. An in-game medal should be "Bounce a grenade off someone's head to kill them". #ps3

That being said, I hate them, not only does it cut off those who don't have their systems connected to the internet from ever obtaining them, but its just a cheap way for them to try and say, hey, look how many people we have playing our game online, even if the online completely sucks.
Thus I must say, I love Naughty Dog for keeping their trophies to single player only, the same as CoD Modern Warfare. It had amazing online so they didn't need to implement achievements into it to get people to play it.
