I actually just started playing Uncharted 2 the other day. I learned the hard way that you can't just sit behind cover and pop out every once in a while. Man I suck at modern games.Quote:

I normally wouldn't mind stuff like this because lol-vidja-games but in something that is so clearly painstakingly scripted it's just a jarring disconnect between gameplay and whatever experience it is they're trying to convey.
lol My wife was watching last night, and I made the same comment to her. Why the hell would you have to jump off the balcony of what appeared to be your own damn house?Quote:

For the time being, if any DLC is released for the game, I'll gladly try it out.
Oh, and LOL at the very notion of staying in one spot during some of the final shoot outs. The game will definitely keep you on your toes towards the end.
Rookie Developer? They've been around 12 years.
The QTEs get pretty quick, eh?Quote:

The game really picks up after the first chapter. II and III are both good, and IV pretty successfully delivers creepiness over action. I haven't reached the pure-cinema chapters yet.
The lack of trophy tracking remains annoying though. Several of the rifles look very similar to one another, so it's hard to concentrate on fighting and which ones you've used to register a kill without any UI indicators.
Not that I think the lack of indicators is a GOOD thing, but why would you want to do that just to get some trophies? That seems really un-fun to babysit your weapon selection.
I disagree with this...12 years is a long time but if they haven't developed a new game recently, it can be tough if you don't have the right personnel. You're worried about feature creep and other things a lot more if you're "starting from scratch"...plus smaller games are obviously easier to manage.Quote:
