Man, it's a shame they're not currently planning to expand the co-op with DLC. I'd love to see some scenarios that aren't just reworked areas from U2's story.
I'd be cool if they came up with some based on U1's story - imagine all 3 players trying to fend off the
while waiting for a helicopter extraction or something. Or since they're not tied to a bigger story, they could go a little more silly and have something like everyone's favourite video game fodder, zombies.

Just played through chapters five and six (again). My god, they look so much better than anything else before it (not counting the snow area) it isn't funny. The gameplay is pretty much at its best during these chapters as well. I love it.

Gotcha. Well as I'm sure you know
plenty of people attained enlightenment under a tree however there's a lot of trees in Tibetan art. The example that I thought of is that there's asuras (demigods/"evil" beings) and gods who war over the fruit of the tree. Plenty of fruit in Tibetan/Buddhist/Hindu text have magical abilities (healing wounds, bringing people back to life, etc.). I thought this was very apt with the war between the forces of good (the gods) and the evil (the asuras) represented by Drake and co. and Lazarevic respectively fighting over the Cintamani stone.
There are plenty other possibilities, no comparison is complete, but I'm tired so that's a decent enough starter. Hope it helps.

That was the first thing I tried once I got control over my character. I was kind of disappointed that Drake gets his ass kicked and killed if you try it twice.
Finished it just then, great game. The combat is so fluid, and outdoes any other action shooter that comes to mind (including both MGS and GoW). The story and characters are better realised than any of the movies they take inspiration from (not hard to outdo George Lucas).
My only complaint (a minor niggle) is that the end boss was not quite as cinematic as in the first game. Though that is so minor as to be bordering on irrelevant - it was still a great way to end the game.
The start of chapter 17 I think, was something surreal.
Anyway, looking forward to playing it through again, but also to potential for more games in the series. I'm sure some other myths like the ancient Ehyptians, or Druids or many others could be ripe for interpretation.
edit: and I love exploring old stuff. Halo did it well with the old installation 04, but I was much more impressed with the atmosphere and sense of lost time with the architecture throughout this game.

Sure, but it's not like Nintendo suck at making good looking games, they had some of the best looking games in the Gamecube era. Wind Waker looks better than Jak. I'm sure if Nintendo made a system with PS3's graphical capabilities, they would be able to do Zelda justice with a gorgeous looking game. Don't need Naughty Dog for that.

I played one game of team deathmatch today. It was my first online experience with Uncharted 2. Immediately upon the game starting someone that sounded rather young started swearing like a sailor and spouting racial slurs and calling people "fags". Another guy started shouting back at him and threatening to find his house and kill him. I proceeded to look for a mute option and thankfully Naughty Dog was kind enough to include a "mute all" button which I pressed immediately and enjoyed the rest of the match. Anonymous voice chat is the last thing I want especially in console games. It's nice to have the option, but I would never turn it on unless I knew who I was playing with.
Anyway, I don't blame people for not having mics or having voice chat turned on.

you do a disservice to uncharted by wanting it to be left4dead
Apparently, you can only buy tweaks...for the difficulty setting you finished the game for.. (i.e. can't buy infinite ammo if you finished on Normal, to play on Hard)..and need to be online..or something like that, since I'm just in Chapter 19. (don't want to finish this game so soon!!! argh..love it!)

Technically, I think Jak 2 looks better than windwaker...stylistically is a matter of taste. I like both.
I agree that if the system was as powerful as ps3, they could make an amazing looking zelda however.
Just beat it. Wow. I mean... what can I say? I probably didn't like it as much as most of the peeps in this topic (I've never been too crazy about the feel of Uncharted's shooting - Gears feels better to me). It's still at the top of my shortlist for GotY and a solid 9/10 or 9.5/10.
It's pretty astonishing that Naughty Dog did this on such a tight schedule. I literally don't understand how their artists were able to achieve the level of environmental detail they did without working for 3+ years. Unless their team is GIGANTIC or something. Just the sheer number of incredibly detailed, only-used-once art elements is amazing.
Watching some of the "making of" videos gave me better appreciate just how BIG Unch. 2 is. Even though I just got the game Wednesday, it feels like a LONG time ago that I was sneaking through the museum, or setting the charges in Borneo. :lol
Time to turn on one-hit-kills, jack the difficulty down to Very Easy, and go treasure hunting! Only found 37 on this first run, but I wasn't going out of my way to look.

Man, I'm so pissed. I played the game on hard all the way to the end and got frustrated with the final boss. I switched it to Very Easy because I was so tired and just wanted to get past it and finish the game. The damn thing overwrote my save with a chapter 1 save! Now my only save near the end is like at 85%. WTF?
Is there a way to pick a specific chapter to load like in Killzone 2?
Great and beautiful game, absolutely superb dialogue. I've never laughed out loud at a game's dialogue so much before. Great banter between the characters.
My only complaints are:
1) Frustrating shooting sequences with boss types
2) Sparkling white seams/breaks in 3D modeling that make me think there's a treasure there
3) Shooting a treasure down to have it fall out of sight which makes it so you can't reach it.
4) Camera switches that make you have to switch controller directions mid move.
Oh, and I noticed RJ Mical's name in the credits for Platform Team. Some of you might remember that name from the Commodore Amiga and Atari Lynx.

Me too. Feels bad man.
Finito. On hard. There's loads of stats but here's the Key stats:
total time spent playing: 13:35:19
time spent standing still: 1:31:34 (LOL: its a beautiful game)
time spent climbing: 3:28:38
hit ratio: 49.41 %
total headshots: 146. That was out 694 enemies killed using gun combat. another. (so if my math is correct: head shot percentage. 146/694: 21.04 %. 1/5 enemies killed using headshots.
A little disappointed with the head shot ratio but other then that I'll add that I finished it in one sitting over a period of a day or so (bathroom/tea/lunch/dinner breaks excluded of course).
I give the game 9.6. (the decimal point is just mocking the system for those who may comment)
Best sequel since Half Life 2. For me. GOTY nominee for sure. R&C/l4d/mw2 to come. Yet to play Brutal legend as well.
Quick question. If I finish crushing mode with tweaks like one shot kill, infinite ammo, and fast motion, will I still get the trophy/platinum?

Now that we are talking about what to buy, I have not bought anything yet, and I have about $500,000.
What's the best way to spend that money?

quick question is there a way to bring your multiplayer beta stats over to the final game? I was at level 14 in the beta but now I started with level1 again.
are there any other easter eggs?(which gives you $)
:lol yeah. my brother, who is not really a fan of the ps3, watches me plaing the game and he laughed really hard at this scene.ChryZ said:

Nope. All stats were wiped. You begin anew.
Chapter 20 something after fighting off
and the game freezes. Is this where everyone else has been reporting freezing or have I just been playing too long and overheated my PS3?
Anything special to do to get around freezing or is it just random? I recall noticing a handful of other posts about freezing at one specific part of the game.
guardians in Shambala I hit a sap thing

So am I missing something? I beat the game on hard and want to skip around chapters to treasure hunt and such, but when I go to "Chapters" only "1 - A Rock and a Hard Place" is selectable. Left and Right won't scroll through any chapters and I have it set on the difficulty I beat the game in.
What gives?
Edit: Nvm I'm stupid and didn't realize I need to hit X on the chapter in order to bring up the chapter scrolling option.

I played like 5 more matches online of various game types and had a lot of fun. Unfortunately this game really reminded me why I hate matchmaking and usually don't play console shooters. It is simply not enjoyable to play 5 - 10 minutes or so and then get booted out to a lobby and have to redo the whole matchmaking process. It is way too time consuming and it doesn't look like you can search for a specific game mode / map combination.

I never got around to trying it in the beta but are you able to play the survival mode by yourself like you could horde in gears? Sometimes I just want to jump right in and matchmakaing in Australia can be a nightmare from time to time. Not to mention going it on your own can be a blast.
If not I'd love to see it patched in, not sure how likely that is but I know you can start machinima by yourself.
