Nothing never happens where I’m at......oh well…

.....
....
People that are going to comment about the 1.06 update....don’t bother right now lol....They are obviously taking a break from it.... lol But still when they get back from GDC I’m pretty sure an update will be up and running Can’t wait either.

Posted by: stepholia11 on 03-10-2010

Agreed, it seems like there are 75 people out there writing hundreds of comments about how much they hate 1.06 and 1.05. 70,000 people play online daily and 75 comment. Go play and adjust. The people online r having a lot of fun. So keep playing and make the comments relevant. ND is doing what they think is best… trust them. If you truly hate the update then wait for the next one and comment once.
BTW ND
Looks like a sick booth

Hey ND! Yeah awhile ago I said pretty mean stuff about this company and this game. It was my fault. My own anger. On a side note, I realized you cant say MW2 sucks. It is 2 good games: UC2 and MW2. Naughty Dog can say that. But to be self-absorbed and say MW2 sucks well you have issues you need to handle out. Naughty Dog keep up the good work and haters STFU. LOL!
Have a nice day.

i know this is off topic but i have to get this off my chest rearding 1.05. every time you release an update theres an other game ruining part. first offf there was only to things wrong with 1.05 and that was the sniper and the hammer and you didnt fix either. this was the worst thing youve done to multiplayer. im a huge fan of your company and this game but what the bloody hell were you thinking. you nerfed the FAL but the sniper still kills with one shot? you nerfed the grenade but i still get killed every time i go for a melee because you can drop them so damn quick. the M32 hammer is the most unbalanced weapon ive ever experienced in a game and it got worse because you nerfed all the other guns except that one. Even with sure foot it still kills in two shots. the only thing that remotley balanced it is its low ammo count but thanks to the genious launch man you get twice the amount so twice the free kills. and is it just me or did you just butcher the already terrible spawn system. its like you guys looked at modernwarfafre 2s spawns and tried to copy it. please fix these issues because i truly like this game but its almost as if your doing everything in your power to make it just awful. i was so excited to download the new dlc but im not gonna buy it because the game is ruined now. Just because MW2 sold well does not mean that is a good game

“Just because MW2 sold well does not mean that is a good game”

Lol, when a game is one of the best selling of the entire console generation, and receives rave reviews from most every major gaming journalist, I’m sorry, it does mean it’s a good game, atleast when you leave out opinion.

A bad game doesn’t sell over 10 million copies in a couple months, even if you personally don’t like the game.

(amazingly, despite defending it, I do not own Modern Warfare 2, or any of the Call of Duty games)

More on-topic, I’m sure Naughty Dog will be the first to tell you that they do what they believe is best for their online game and their game only, and that they do not try and mimic other games because of the success of those other games.

Also, I doubt the awful spawns are an intentional addition to the game.

Nice booth …

I think you should change a litle up there.

the …

“5 out of 5 stars”

To

“3 out of 5 stars”

Why?

because no one is giving you 5 stars any longer.

Also provide there a complain box people will appreciate that.

Posted by: Mit- on 03-11-2010

People like you make me realize I would be perfectly okay if Uncharted 2 didn’t have multiplayer, so I didn’t have to watch people’s opinion of the overall game (which is one of the best games ever created) degrade over disagreements concerning certain online features that were implemented to please a greater majority of players (notice how the amount of players playing daily has gone up since 1.05...).

Also, get real, I’m positive there isn’t a single person at that entire conference who cares about the online play of this game enough to have complaints about it. “OMG Y DID U GAIZ MAKE IT SO NOOB FRIENDLY IN 1.05” Are you kidding me? Most of them probably played 1.00 for a few days then shelved the game to move on to other games to report on, play, or develop (as the only people at GDC are journalists and game developers). They don’t have the time to devote to that kind of stuff.

Oh, and I bet 99% of them would jump onto the online, not notice the changes, and have more fun with it than they barely remember due to how it plays now.

Ack, [/gigantic rant]

… You r one of a kind!

UC2 do have a single player mode… then please stick with it and your problem is solved; also you are totally free of choosing not to read people’s opinion about the game.

Furthermore if people’s opinion of the overall game degrades over disagreements concerning certain online features … that should concern ND.

By the way I personally don’t care what you think about the journalists and game developers (as you assumed) that attend that conference. Also I don’t care about if you think they play or not multiplayer if they are able or not to differentiate between versions update. However I can assure you that we do have a better opinion about them.

I think… What people care about in here is more thoughtful then you can apprehend.

It’s well known that people’s opinion help improve the overall game experience therefore all (game industry and players) benefit.

Then let people freely express their frustration!

The day will come when all of us will be happy!

Hope so…

Thanks!

SKINS- For the next DlC’s

Final Fantasy Chars
Solid Snake
Sackboy
GTA 4 chars like Niko
Yakuza
Max Payne
Prototype
Resident Evil chars
Tekken 6?
Brutal Legend
Assassins creed
bayonetta
street fighter’s ryu
Ichigo and Naruto- Yes im serious, thats big money for ND and fans will be happy
ND chars would be cool too

------------------
Ok so I was also thinking if we can have some basketball or baseball jerseys to put on the skins. Such as a Red Sox Jersey on Nathan. Or better yet if we can have the actual athletes , theres lots of sports fans out there so why not do it?
--------------
Ok now for the maps. It would be amazing if we can add maps from enviroments of different games like Infamous, Killzone 2, Resident evil. Now for maps related to the game we can have borneo and some maps that are located in cities? Some of us want to have that urban enviroment too. Please consider this.Arne At least let us know what you think about this and tell us if we will have more dlc.

Do you know why that DLC pack had characters like Sev, Nathan Hale and Cole in it? Those are characters from games made by studios that are wholly owned by Sony - just like Naughty Dog. Because of this they were able to easily co-operate and avoid nasty licensing issues with other companies.

Therefore, the majority of your list COULD never happen, it’s not possible. The only ones on the list that could work are Ratchet and Clank and Sackboy - both of which would look completely ridiculous so they’ll never happen. I’d *assume* that Sancta Monica are Sony-owned so Kratos could work, and look pretty awesome, but the rest just aren’t happening, so don’t waste your time with another long list like that again, ‘kay?

People seem to forget that ND are relocating to a new kennel. So, I don’t think that they’re ignoring us, but I think that they’re just busy trying to get everything thing back in order on their front.

I’ve personally, enjoyed all the updates. Including this one.

They’ll iron out the details in time. Just be patient, my friends, and keep gaming.

Posted by: amandoplay3 on 03-10-2010

ND, not as you remember us, those affected by ESPD.
We have not had any compensation for the error that prevented us from playing for over a month.
Being able to play with the patch, but starting over at level 1, and 0 € $....
I was level 58 and bought everything, now I’m on the level 45.
Be mindful of us, who are many.

update 10.6 is AWSOME ENOUGH SAID. OR mabe i should post this over and over. if you don’t like the new update than play something else. people saying it make’s noobs better it does. its more real (REAL) AWSOME KICKASS .

AK 47 AND M32 AND VERY POWERFULL GUNS KILL PEOPLE . REALLY THE M32 WOULD SMASH ANYONE WITH 1 SHOT. IAM GLAD IT TAKES 2 SHOTS.

SNIPER RIFLE ARE CRASHING STRONG IN REAL LIFE. SO IT SHOULD BE STRONG IN THE GAME IF YOU shoot someone arms that arms coming off.
attn DUMB PEOPLE WRITING HERE “STOP"LET NAUGHTYDOG DO THERE JOBS. PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING. IF YOU R NOW BAD BECAUSE OF 1.06 THAN YOU REALLY WERE NOT GOOD IN THE 1ST PLACE.

TRULY YOURS AWSOME ONLINE GAMER ICEMAN888SRF. REMEBER THAT NAME CAUSE YOU WILL SEE YOUR WERE KILLED BY ME ALOT.

THANK YOU NAUGHTYDOG 4 ALL THE GREAT WORK. PS PLEASE GIVE UCDF SULLY SKIN 4 FREE 4 EASTER AND 1 FREE MAP please PLEASE PLEASE. (ROOFTOP MAP) COME YOU HAVE TO DO IT. YOU JUST HAVE TO.

You especially make me mad at all the people who love 1.05 or 1.06. YOU DON’T GET IT, RIGHT??? Uncharted 2 isn’t supposed to be a game based on real life conditions. The Sniper Rifle shouldn’t be one hit kill weapon. The AK47 is way too strong for a default weapon. The FAL is useless against that mighty AK. The consequence is that nobody is using the FAL anymore. If you tell me I should just adapt (or quit), than you are a * moron. I’ve played this game for 4 months AND I HAVE ADAPTED TO IT. It shouldn’t have been changed in the first place.
