Uncharted |OT|
- Thread starter steve
- Start date
I played through this (third time?) on Crushing last weekend and finally got the Platinum. I really missed the grenades being mapped to a button, and yes the enemies were slightly frustrating at times. But it is still an amazing experience and absolutely worth buying if you haven't played either Uncharted.

Because AT is much easier then Drake's Fortune. The enemies in the first dodge and weaved, flanked much better thanks to not being boxed in like AT.JaseC said:
Drakes Fortune battles like the sewer, 2 battles outside of the church, and inside the church blows away AT battles by a mile.
I played Crushing on both tons of times.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but it is the OT of it. I just got both games today, just cause the demo of II was bad ass.
One thing with the first one, I'm getting lots of screen tearing, is this normal? I got none whatsoever in the II demo. Oh well, oddly enough, it doesn't screen tear at all in the cutscenes.

Yeah, UDF has a bunch of screen-tearing, UC2 fixed that issue.RPGCrazied said:

Tearing is not game-breaking in the first game. Uncharted 2 has no tearing whatsoever.

Cutscenes are pre-recorded with enhanced lighting, hence no tearing.
Unchated 2 fixed the tearing with triple buffering, but this messed up some of the in-game lip syncing (which they do well to hide).

I bought Uncharted 2 with Vanquish but a lot of stuff got in the way. Started playing it today.
So gorgeous.
Feels epic.
Loved the stealth.
The story is entertaining although a bit obvious for the genre.

I'm glad someone else appreciates the stealth. There's lots of people that hate it but I like clearing out an area without firing a shot.

I like the stealth elements too, but didn't like the forced stealth / alarm section in the beginning of U2.Rated-Rsuperstar said:
Same here. Part of what made the stealth sections work so well in most of the game was that they could be used to set yourself up in better positions and lighten the crowd for the upcoming firefights. That stealth section at the beginning lacked that.xenorevlis said:

Mega bump!
Question - Im up to chapter 13 and playing on normal...but switched over to hard and now I wanna go back to normal. Can I select chapter 13 from the chapter select screen on normal and when I finish the game will I get the trophy for beating it?
In other words do I have to do the chapters in order, or so long as Ive done all the chapters on a certain difficulty Ill get the trophy? I wanna know if I have to start over or just pick chapter 13 and keep on going. The game is awesome by the way.

One more question Will changing your skin mid way through a play through effect the trophy? Dont wanna risk it for Crushing.

Well I finished this today and I had an absolute blast! Its just so much fun.
My expectation was I was going into something good, and when I was about 1 hour in I had my expectations shattered as I ended up walking away from something amazing! The demo doesn't do the game...but more specifically the graphics justice at all. The lighting was stunning at times, and when on the jet-ski seeing Nate and Elena wet looked so damn good - just a pity the jet-ski was pretty bad with the controls, it felt too loose. Another nitpick is the library puzzle, that stumped me. Reminds me of the sliding puzzle in Resident Evil 4 with how everything else before it was cake, then you get to this puzzle and it kinda breaks the flow. Anyway, I'm gonna go finish off hard and then do crushing to get my platinum. I've got Uncharted 2 ready to go after that! : )

Man, would love to revisit this games with a wiped brain. Uncharted was such a great experience for me, I had no idea I was walking into something so awesome when I picked it up as one of my first Ps3 games. Great introduction... Not to mention the sequel, you're in for a treat so enjoy as you have been!Tricky I Shadow said:

Tha library puzzle gets a lot of people the first time. Damn thing had me stumped for a while.Tricky I Shadow said:
I would recommend starting Uncharted 2 right now. It's so damn good and you can always go back to get the trophies in the first game then.

Is it normal to get a good amount of tearing? I just got up to Ch.9 and you use the jetski thing and there was so much tearing while I was playing that. It was making me nauseous.

Ya, I don't know if I don't remember it or what but now it's really starting to bother me. :/ Even after that part there's been a good amount of tearing.

Blech, does any kind of installation of the game help with it? I don't remember what options there were in the beginning, I usually went with the biggest install though.

Ah, ok. I couldn't remember if there was or not.
Anyone know how to check the difficulty of a current save game? I decided to go back and try for a Platinum... I've got a save game at chapter 11 but it doesn't say what difficulty it is. I can't remember if I was playing on Normal or Hard, and I don't want to restart with Hard unless I have to...

I cannot be the only one who thought this was the Uncharted 3 OT for a split second.

i really like this entry, might go through it again. i love how you traverse through one huge location, there's a stronger sense of being an actual adventurer than in the sequels.
