You get a medal for petting all of them.

I'm so close to the end, but I keep putting it off because I don't want the game to end.

Anubis2005X

I don't understand the "head for the fountain" statement. I finished today and don't recall ever hearing that?

Mok

It happens at the start when your trying to sneak past the guards in the first mission. I must have had to do that mission a dozen times.

Crap! I must have missed one, I never received a medal.

Just finished the game

Anubis2005X

You can just replay that one chapter and it should give you the trophy.

I finished on Medium Friday night and ran through on Hard (skipping all the cut scenes) yesterday. I also started one more run on Crushing. Stealth takes on a whole new level of importance on Crushing!

Overall, I'm still pretty blown away...and I'm dreading those "Guardians" on crushing!!!

SmackDaddy

Finished it last night and I have to say (and it seems I am the only one so far) I thought the final boss battle was sort of a let down compared to everything that came before it.



Otherwise, great game experience. Kept me wanting to play. This goes on a very short list of other games over the years that compelled me to finish them (Half-Life, KOTOR I & II and MDK).

I don't know if the last boss was a letdown, but I will say that, on crushing difficulty, he's a real motherfucker.

I just finished my third playthrough:

First on medium, not looking for treasures, just taking in the story and amazing setpieces
Second on hard to search for treasures and get some of the weapon medals/trophies
Third on crushing because I didn't find hard all that difficult and...why not

Ridiculously spectacular game!!!!

Three playthroughs in 5 days?!?! Wow!

I think I just started Chapter 9.

chess

I thought it was THAT good.

I played it every day after work Wed-Fri and finished Friday night...then I played through once on Sat and once on Sun.

If you skip the cutscenes, it's only about a 5-6 hour game...probably longer on crushing, because there were two places that I got pretty hard stuck.

I'm doing my first run through (on normal difficulty first), and got to Chapter 9 so far. I'm very impressed with this game. The cinematics add even more to this game than it does to the first. I feel bad for going through it so quickly already.

Heh, I played through 75% of this game in 2 days and have taken nearly a week to get to 85%. I'm not a huge fan of the gunplay (only aspect that feels generic) in the game and it's quite frankly a little tedious/boring at this point. It just seems to be artificially extending the length of the game by having every damn room you go to be another massive shootout.

It's a great game, just wish they were a little more creative about the gameplay in spots.

Anyone up for some CO-OP? Im pretty addicted to the level runs, so far stage lvl 11 is highest been able to reach. My psn id is hooter_hunter feel free to add me if you want to play.

Awesome PSN ID

I still haven't done multiplayer...hoping to get some of the Warhawk crew in there to mess about.

I also salute this ID.

I think the real challenge to the third game is gonna be whether or not they can get away from the set piece mentality. Throughout the title I really felt like that it was a split : gun section and adventure section. Which is totally cool by me, but for the next game I think it would be interesting to see if they could mix the too so it feels a bit more cohesive. Just imo.

RichC2

I agree, as the game progresses the two game modes get more and more separated. By the end you basically have adventure part followed by shoot out. Uncharted had the same issue and while it isn't bad it could be improved upon.

chess

I think they did a much better job of integrating than they did on the first game. The addition of the ability to shoot/attack while hanging ensured as much.

The first game was pretty much just a cover shooter with platforming elements in-between, while in this game, it's not uncommon to have climbing, shooting while hanging, hand to hand combat, run and guning, manning a turret and shooting from cover in the same sequence. I think the train is probably the best example of this, but I can think of many others as well.

Naughty Dog teases spooky Uncharted 2 image



"We figured that Naughty Dog would tire of its propensity to tease us once Uncharted 2: Among Thieves had finally hit store shelves. However, if the developer's recent late-night tweet is any indication, its still got a few surprises up its sleeve. The aforementioned tweet simply read, "working late tonight, got a ton of things that need to get done," and included a link to the unsettling image above.

If we were to wager a guess as to what those ... things are, our early analysis would be Helghast skeletons. Now, with Halloween coming up, the skeletons thing makes sense. Helghast, though? That's just garishly non-canonical."

Chew

^^ I guess I haven't been keeping up with any DLC information. Are we expecting some?

chess

Yes...and a lot apparently...new maps...new skins...some free...some for pay.
