Wow. Good for Uncharted. I am genuinely surprised. I know the first one came with the console at all, but I didn't realize it was this popular. Maybe I'm just so not used to seeing PS3 games at the top of the list, but I'm glad such a great series got some recognition. #npd

Go Uncharted 2 GO!! I swear I would just...squee if I ever were to go to NG studios. Just giggle and faint like a stupid fangirl, Drake did this to me!! :grumble:

Hey, where's Brutal Legend? That HAD to have at least sold some thousand units? What's up? #npd

It's not too surprising, there seems to be a pattern of sorts with Schaefer games. Amazing games loved by most of the people that play them, but so few people ever do. =\ #npd

I see, however I didn't think BruLeg was an AMAZING game...more like an OKAY game with great passion behind it.

That said, I enjoyed myself...I was hoping it would do a little better. :sadface: #npd

WOOT!

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

@Rachel Fogg: Okay, so with your advanced scientific knowledge, me may indeed provide me with a working artificial womb. However that leaves us with yet another dilemma.

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

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!

I'm extremely happy Borderlands is up there...really can't wait for them to tweak that game. While as awesome as it already is...a sequel with new features would be grand!

What would be interesting is a real open-world area...but as crazy as Borderlands...hmmm #npd

Borderlands (PC) is a great game but I hope the PC issues get addressed soon.

Gearbox really dropped the ball in the conversion from console. #npd

@trogam: Yup...you can alter the ini file but its crazy that a basic PC gui wasn't implemented in the first place to take care of it.

Further more, we've already seen the ini files reset after Daylight savings change and having to go in and redo your configs in a txt editor is silly.

INi fixes aside, the PC version is also suffering from:
Infinite Bloodwing bug, poor online connection, and random crashing for some systems. #npd

I'm looking forward to playing this once I get a PS3 this winter despite laughing out loud at Yahtzees critical review. Good to know it sold so much, hopefully this means a reduced price version is coming soon. #uncharted2amongthieves

@-MasterDex-: I actually was very confused by the latest ZP. I found most of his criticisms were plain wrong. I know he doesn't like Multiplayer so I can forgive his omittance of that but the game builds on the original in every way, the characters are very well developed and the game is very much memorable #uncharted2amongthieves

@-MasterDex-: I wouldn't hold your breath.

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

@rorkimaru: I know Zero Punctuation is supposed to be for the comedy first, critical analysis second (or last, honestly I can't tell anymore). But yeah, his Uncharted 2 review is skewed just a little too much into the "making shit up" camp.

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

@dracosummoner: Don't worry, I put little weight into Yahtzees reviews but I still find them passingly funny.

@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

@dracosummoner: I haven't found him funny for quite some time. The initial stuff he put out always got a chuckle from me, but I haven't watched a single "episode" in half a year and barely cared for some time before that.

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

@Duin:

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

@-MasterDex-: Yeah, I can understand that. On one hand I feel bad for finishing it so fast and not making the money spent last a bit longer; but on the other hand, the game sucked me in to where I just couldn't stop until it was over.

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.
