The "Deal with it, fanboy" thing is shocking.

do you still trust that WKC review after that?? OPM have given it 8/10 btw.(WKC)

i am not sayin me2 is worse but in no way should they be making statements like that, it only confirms what i have known for a while



it's the future of handheld

You can't jump in ME2, thus UC2 is better.

Or something stupid like that.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Regardless of whether or not it is, the "Deal with it, fanboy" line is ridiculous.




I usually dont agree with IGN, but this is an exception.

Out of curiousity - is there anyone who has played ME2 on both a high end PC and a 360? Are 360 gfx anywhere near as good as the PC version GFX? ME2 GFX are superb, whenever I play I cant help but wonder if they are even half as good on 360, if they are then 360 really has some life left in it, GFX-wise anyways.

They both have a "2" in the title.

Sheesh. some people, really...

Well they aren't entirely different games. Both take from the RE4 style of play and adapt it like so many other games have, but they have 2 totally different purposes as game. The argument almost seems like Mass Effect has these things while UC2 never had any attention of having those things and therefore is worse because of it. I would be like discrediting Halo in comparison to Mass Effect because you cant' level up.

It's doubtful the narrative for Uncharted 2 was ever meant to be so character oriented as Mass Effect 2. But you could also flip it around, and say even if the Uncharted 2 storyline isn't that great, it does loads more than that of Mass Effect 2 which centers around characterization rather than a progressive and dynamic story line (something usual for RPGs although some still have some pretty good stories).

Point is, the comparison doesn't actually compare them but plays on a suppressed information fallacy. Lots of these coming from IGN lately. Obviously for hits and to stir the pot. Sad thing is, these things probably could all be very well done and thought out and provide insight into the industry and our own gaming biases, but it seems IGN refuses to put the work in to achieve such success.



Why didn't they compare it to Demons souls?
At least that has some RPG elements in it

UC2 is overrated IMO.I played it, the story is ok but the MP is awful. The graphics are not "Only possible on PS3" type, its just colorful thats it.

"If you like something your a fanboy, if you dislike something your a troll"

Uncharted 2 multiplayer horrible?

...

No.

Yes.

 

It sucks, you lose money for leaving, its impossible to aim the game, the AK has accuracy like a MG42 on a treadmill.

wow,

It may be over-rated for you,I can let that part live,but the graphics still haven't been surpassed by ANY console game so far. The attention to detail in that game is unparalled but you just think "its colourful, thats all".

SPOILERS

Did we play the same game ? What did you see when you got to the top of that rooftop in Nepal ? Did you see how beautiful Shambala was ?

One time I died because I was looking at the environment and not on the action going on..Chapter 4 when you're running away from Flynn's men...

UC2- The textures are bland and have very little detail, the environments are just colorful thats it. The lighting effects are good but there not KZ2. Its just that far away it appears to have more detail.

 

And UC2 is just colorful thats it, KZ2 has better graphics, its like saying "Mario galaxy > Gears"



Should've compared it to Dragon Age.. battle of the bioware titans.

I could have agreed if you said character models weren't that good...cause some of them aren't , but if you're comparing TEXTURES - Uncharted 2 is teh BEAST !

Even Uncharted 1 had brill textures, U can see the details in the bottom of a river - and when you talk about detail, what about those masks in Nepal, and those statues in the "Path of Light" chapter...if that isn't detailed enough for you then I don't know what is....

And we haven't talked about the Snow yet.....

It looks better than ME2, thats for sure...but I agree - KZ2 looks greater than U2 in some areas such as lighting and those particle effects...but overall U2 is marginally better.
