Wanna get some HDF co-op going.

Yep yep, great old punk funk album before they went mainstream. Other old songs they had that I still dig would be ones like Johnny kick a hole in the sky and Taste the Pain.

I have not gotten one

Pre-order the game on the GameStop website, receive code, cancel pre-order.

They never even charge your card.

I picked no... I wasn't that impressed with the beta I got with the inFamous game, probably because I wrongfully try to compare everything to the COD series. BUT reading all this is making me wonder. Hmmmm

You forgot Eurogamer gave it 10/10 and GamePro gave it 5/5

G4 says "5 out of 5"

Adam Sessler also had this to throw in:

Quote:

I’m not 100% certain when it happened. I think it’s when I had Nathan Drake atop a building in a war-torn Nepalese city, cornered and being fired upon by a helicopter, engaged in a fist fight with the screen slowly draining of color, snapping my enemy’s neck and quickly rolling into cover to reload my grenade launcher only to turn and fire upon the chopper one last time as I watched it crash and explode. I think this is when I realized that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was the best single-player game I have ever played.

Seemingly his only gripe about the game is the ending.

**kamspy** · 09-30-2009, 04:11 PM

It would have to change a lot from the first game to live up to this hype. On the demo enemies are still tank like bullet sponges. :/

Pinoy · 10-01-2009, 02:07 PM

Apparently Sony will be demoing UC2 on movie theater big screens, as in actually playable (not a trailer). Only in a few select theaters: On October 5 and 6, four theaters in San Francisco and Thousand Oaks, California, Rosemont, Illinois and Bellevue, Washington.

First night is invite only.

I'm ok with that... gives me more chances to squeeze the trigger

marcallo · 10-01-2009, 02:27 PM

I found in the original on my one playthrough that amunition was a bit survival-horror scarce. Like for the AK-47 and the 9MM pistol you could do okay. But when it came to ammo for the better guns like the magnum or the shotgun you were pretty much going to have to REALLY accurate and make the most of every shot.

I also find it weird that the 9mm machine gun and the 9mm handgun use different ammunition. In most games it would just let you keep picking up the same Ammo. Maybe they made ammo a bit easier or more pleantiful to come by. I mean if you're going to make me shoot a guy in the head 3-4 times with a pistol at least replace my ammo afterwards.

You should try running up on somebody while putting a couple rounds in'em, then break out the brutal melee combo for an extra large ammo drop

marcallo · 10-01-2009, 06:40 PM

I did that a bunch of times it was a good way to get ammo for the higher end guns. Like they'd suddenly drop a .44 instead of a pistol refill.

Yeah, I'm going to the second night at the one in Rosemont, IL. I didn't get hands-on tickets, just spectator. It'll be cool to see UC2 on 4k but I decided last night that I probably won't be buying the game this year. Money is kinda tight right now and I have other priorities I need to deal with. I think the only game I'll be buying this year is MW2. I wish I could buy UC2 and GoW Collection but it just doesn't seem realistic at this point.... we'll see.
