Bu.. bu.. but, the first part connect us with Chloe more. Without that slow start, Chloe is just another tall girl with a gun.
The problem was the game was holding my hand too much, I didn't even have grenades till mid-Borneo although there were many situations already where I felt the need to use them.
As for Chloe,I never got "connected" to her, she is still a tall girl with a gun to me
. Totally uncharismatic
! How I hated her parts and waited with baited breath for Elena to arrive on the scene. Elene , on the other hand, is my sweet love of Uncharted ! She's da girl of the series. i hate Chloe, don't want to see her ever again !
@Arwin: I am getting old too (but not as old as you Ha Ha !
) ! But I think that hasn't much to do with the opening of Uncharted 2 . The openeing was perfect, mind you. But the build -up felt a tad too long, cos after all I am here to play a game, and if you don't let me play for too long, you make me well.....uncomfortable ! Even Kojima let you skip the first mission Briefing in MGS4 to get you faster into the gameplay.
Its great to tell a story, even SOTC had a loooooong intro, but once it gets the controller into my hands and have me pressing buttons,
then the gameplay opens up immediately !In SOTC, you can do everything you can, as soon you start playing. Getting to that point is a long journey of cutscenes, but thats okay as anyways I am just watching, but when I am
playing the game opens up the whole bag to me, all the mechanics. Uncharted2 doesn't do that. it has one loooooong tutorial which isn't needed. The actual gameplay kicks in only in Nepal, might as well tell me the story of Istanbul in just cutscenes. I can see they wanted to introduce stealth, but it became longer and lesser exciting than they wanted it to be or expected it to be. And, BTW, I can understand stealth in one on-screen text message too
