So awesome. I really, really miss the old animated series, and I still think it had the single best portrayal of The Riddler.

Another Uncharted 2 circle jerk I see.

::sigh:: There are far many more deserving games of the AIAS GOTY award than Uncharted 2... but I guess its a little hard to get past the well done presentation of the game. Ah well, maybe the awards will mean a little more for me next year.
The fact that you read the thread title and then came in and posted that anyway tells me you probably haven't played UC2 and that it burns you inside. I imagine you look out of your window in the evening, swilling the last of the whisky in the tumbler and gritting your teeth just hating all those happy people out there with their stupid game. You'll show 'em one day champ.ICallItFutile said:

And even i am moderately surprised
here's my take -
Uncharted 1 was good, but merely good - it was over hyped and had a host of problems, not least the characters. It was hyped to heavens by Sony fans.
Uncharted 2 - absolute rollercoaster of fun, with great combat, much more refined characters, a story that was a least more interesting, great situations, excellent online.
I can say that once the eye candy wears off you are STILL left with an extremely fun single player and a surprisingly robust multiplayer.
I have NO IDEA why people continue to hate on it.
What were your personal down points on the game?
Uncharted (both games really, but even moreso with the second) are just gaming at it's purest, with insane graphics and a great story and music to boot. They're not supposed to be a very deep experience, they're pop-corn action movies, and to me Among Thieves reminded me of a mix between Die Hard and Indiana Jones. Only one character has ever taken that much of a beating in a movie, and that's Bruce Willis/John McClane/theyippeekiyaymotherfucker.

WTF?.. but the game is linear.....

Wait a minute, i'm not hating on it.
My post was made with all these awards, GOTYs and extremely positive articles and editorials that call UC2 a "game changer", and other hyperbolic statements, in mind.
These are good games, they have high production values and are obviously very polished (its ND). They deserve good reviews but i really fail to see why the party is so damn loud whenever i look past the presentation, because it really does absolutely nothing new.
As good as it is, this game will probably be another victim of hype once the impressive presentation wears off. I dont think it will be another MGS4, but in retrospective, people will probably wonder what the hell they where thinking.
Again, not saying its bad.

I'm surprised Demon's Souls was even nominated. AIAS requires that every nomination be from a paying corporate member, and Atlus is not one of them. I can only assume that Sony is responsible for getting the game in anyways as some kind of exception.rhino4evr said:

Uncharted 2 could be the best example in history of a near-perfect execution of an existing game design (Tomb Raider).
Its innovations are few, but its execution is best-in-class.
Congrats Naughty Dog. I am enjoying the game greatly.

Definitely well-deserved, the graphics were aesthetically pleasing (actually has color, no ridiculous bloom or silly-looking plasticky bump-mapping on everything) and the gameplay was extremely smooth, I really enjoyed my time spent with UC2 (OK, except for a few of the firefights against
and the annoying final battle), and even what little I played of the multi was fun. Several of my friends bought a PS3 recently so I have been pimping the game to them.
I still need to go back and give UC1 a try (was a bit disappointed with its demo when I played it a while back), I'm just worried there's no way it's even gonna get close to #2.
