I did so poorly on ALL of my matches last night, best I did was 12-4 on the Ice Cave, but the rest, at best, was 9-13!

By the way, am I able to send the cinema for the surgery thread to whoever runs it? I don't have a capture card or anything of the sort, and the best quality camera I have is my iTouch (which is pretty good, by the way, I was surprised) and in order to record with that I have to hold it. I'm not good at holding camera's still for 13 minutes, so yeah

Sure thing, Q... Send it to 'theSixthNation' on Psn and add 'Leonardo337' as well, we'll get you into some parties with the Nation guys and some of Reo's multiple personalities maybe.

Add Johnny, Reo, on your latest account and we'll hit some handgun only action tonight if you're on.

LoL @ Silver, BTW.

And I miss Ender too.

Well guys I have a snow day today so don't be surprised to see me a fair amount today, yes that is how little a life I have.

Leo, would you mind if I added you again to my friends list? It would be like the old days again lol

We have lives?

Fair point lol

So, playing all day in my lonely apartment is to be considered "no life" ?

Ah, who am I kidding, with games I have infinite 1-ups! I win, suckers

Leo, I can't remember that full usernam/PSN ID so please add me insted (Flames_of_Gouki).
We'll pistol all night long, you handsome devil!

Also, +1 on missing the Endlo.

I prefer to think of them as respawns thank you very much. Like Hindus.

Then clearly you are not retro enough

"flames_of_gouki" huh? Much easier to remember than "Johnny_Alpha_" eh?

Send away, Vrals, Mingo said he couldn't get it to work earlier but it shouldn't be full again just yet. I only just removed a bunch of inactives before Christmas.

I'll double check tonight when I get on.

Oohhh, Alphaaaa....I thought it was Bravo

Added you just now, but I'm gonna need to borrow a handgun later on, I only got FAL's here.

It worked for me Leo

GGs Wolf Cub and QNT3N , my KD has gone up too 0.98 now , can he do it ? . I think I was 0.57 couple of months back so that's 0.41 increase . Should be able to make 1.00 now ! .

A[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I miss me too.

Silver, who do you think taught sir Gouki over here? Reo and I spent many a night in customs honing our cornershooting FAL teamwork.

He's better with grenades, though, and he's a much more versatile player than I am, for sure. I'll fight him for the dirtiest player award though, tooth and nail. Sunglasses, infinite alt accounts, my beloved trashtalk and cornershooting. I gots this. I remember the time I got trashtalked by a glitcher for finding him with Sitch, and I didn't even have it on. That's how pro my sunglasses are.

Reo, if you're still gaming it up, when I can get my gaming rig set back up, we'll have to throw down sometime, and see what's up. You've definitely come a long way since we first started gaming together, and I'm proud as all hell to have been your friend throughout.

Mitch, big congrats on the KD increase. You'll get to 1.0 in no time, I'm sure. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to play any UC2 with you, but I hear a lot of good things about your play, and how far you've come. Keep up the good work, man.

I've seen it with my own eyes Endlo, when Mitch and I started to play together he was getting maybe 10 kills a game (I forget lol) but there was one game a little while ago where he went something like 19-4, I sure as hell can't pull that off myself, maybe because I've never really asked you guys for help for improving my game play lol

You can bet that little sitch butt of yours that we haven't had our last game, buddy.
I'm merely holding the throne for you while you are gone, hehe.

I hope everything is going good for you Endlo, I am not one to say this to someone I've only talked to online and such... but I really miss you buddy, guys like you don't come around far too often. As mentioned many times before; I wish you all the best.

And just a quick note about stats and such.
This game is (unfortunately) most about luck, and to get a stable score you pretty much must expoit the flaws in the game mechanics. Corner shoot, spawn camp etc.
Lag leaves far to much to be decided randomly so you can have a great game and go negative or be on the other side - playing crap but getting the kills with you.

I've stopped looking at numbers for now and put more emphasis on actually going tactically and skillfully about the way I play.
Avoiding the trade-scenarios as much as I can and avoiding 1v1 straight up if I don't get the first shots, that is.

I know some people say you can't find skillful players in Uncharted 2, which I to some extent may agree on, but not fully.

You can see who actually puts their mind into it, and those who just either press X and left/right and then lets their buddies get the kill or those who run around with the right index finger on and the thumb on .

It really is a difficult question, considering you'll have to define the word "skill".

In my opinion it's someone who can evaluate a certain scenario and use flair and reflexes to solve whats in front of them without using broken game mechanics to their advantage.


Anyway, Mitch, you shouldn't stare all that much on stats.
Once you do get too fixated on them, the fun eventually stops. We've all been there.
If you just want good stats you can do what I did for a while; camp your butt off with the FAL and cornershoot, all while you have friends to back you up.

If I get into a tough game and really want to win, I'll resort to just that, but I prefer mixing it up and not really bother with kills/deaths. Instead, I see every game as an opportunity to learn something new/improve on a certain area.

There are still so many more things for me to learn and thats whats keeping me from giving up on this game.
I have still to "master" the AK like some other guys on here (Raist/Silver/Charlitos) and it was just until recently that I started to get a grip on nades.

Once you discover that you got another dimension in your gameplay, thats when I find it interesting.

If you put serious time in doing customs with a friend, you can become so much better.
It's all about learning "trick spots"; where you should be in order to maintain good cover while you have a clear view of a wide area. Or as I've been doing lately; going through maps and picking off spots where I KNOW people take cover/camp and where to aim for my nades to get them out of there.
There's also the shortcuts to take for faster movement across the maps.

To put it short; this game is alot about luck, but you can do much to minimize it.

Thnx Endlo , from what I've heard youvqere a really awesome player

@ Reo , I see your point but to be honest it sometimes takes stats to tell myself that overall I'm an OK player

I think one of the main reasons I am more consistent now is that I have moderate skill with all the weapons , I have always used the ak but sometimes I have a bad game with it , so I switch to FS or FAL and do well enough to keep me from going negative . Then there are games that just run real smooth from start to finish , an example would be that fury vid that Leo posted on YouTube .

A key thing to remember, Mitch, is that we all have bad matches and even bad days, no matter what we use won't change that, just ask any of us and we will tell you that we've had our bad days, when I first started this game I didn't start to improve until like 20s/30s and that was two months after I started

Don't give us all the credit mitch. You where the one who searched U2 tips on YT and found Raistlin, leading you here. You where the one to speak up and say "hey, I need some help". We may have extended the helping hand but you took the initiative to look.

Yeah , everyone has bad matches , even the very best players .

@ Silver , see what you mean

Had some great games today though so im in a good mood . I find that despite the lag and other problems , this game really has a tendency to keep me coming back . Maybe its that not long after a bad game i have a great game or that I dont own many online PS3 games .

Yea mitch has really put a lot into this game. So much now that when I'm online I'm just waiting for a party invite from him. I think mitch and I are about PAR on playing lvl these days and its really fun to challenge yourself to go for a higher K/D.

Not only this but mitch gave me incentive to try different pathways at the beginning of the game. Hope you achieve your K/D mate, i might join you when I get rid of these BoH's.

On a whole though guys this site has made the overall gaming experience all the more fun. I never thought I'd look at games this way before visiting and the site on a whole gets a from me. And the 'Cub paw of approval'

Yeah trying to go for a higher K/D can be fun/stressful/everything else a human being can feel, this site definitely makes gaming 100x more fun for me, would be even more fun if I had a mic but w/e

Mitch and I played a few games today, including a few plunder matches, and one of them took 17 minutes for a team to capture their first treasure, now I know what you are all thinking, "oh you must have all just gone for kills for the first 17 minutes," but the thing is that for most of those 17 minutes the second one team got the treasure near their chest the other team would just go right through them and somehow manage to get the treasure out to either the middle of the field or to their own chest, wish I could stay on later than I can, I would be able to game with you guys until like 12:30 almost every night

Thnx for that Wolf Cub , we are about on par in playing level now .

Played pretty bad in those matches with vrals but that plunder was just crazy now i think about it .

I think im gonna start experimenting a bit more too see what my playstyle should be . I have got my openings sorted but i vary too much in how i play each map in general and i get surprised a bit too much for my liking . I just need to find a bit more rythym in how i play the different maps thats all . Should be fun .

I want to put that plunder up on YT, not because of the fact that I did well, because I didn't, but because of the fact that it took that long to capture just 1 treasure

wooo K/D hit 0.96 today. So it can still go up

Those were some good games , ( except for the last one i played ) . We knew we were getting slaughtered so we pumped each other at the spawn points . Good times
