== Drake recovering the phurba == |
|||
The way it is written now, I think it is just a little incoherent. One sentence it says that Drake has survived a train wreck, the next it says there is a flashback and Drake decides to take part in a heist. Then the very next sentence it goes back to the present in the train wreck again. A sentence referring to a flashback four months ago sandwiched within two sentences that are referring to events in the present. And then in the next paragraph, it goes back to the events four months ago again. It just doesn't flow well. |
|||
The way it was written earlier, I didn't find any problem with it. It flows much better in my opinion. We don't need to tell the story in the plot section in the same exact order as it is in the game, scene for scene. It only needs to convey the arc of the story. What's more, after Drake's shot the propane tanks and the train falls down the cliff, there is the cutscene where Drake recovers the phurba (the phurba pick-up scene is shown twice in the game), so putting the part where Drake picks up the phurba in the middle of the plot section would follow the order as it is told in the game anyway. The important thing is, I found the earlier version reads much better than the one as it is now.

==Game Of The Year edition== |
|||
Information about the GOTY editionis listed twice, under both ''Special editions'' and ''Downloadable content''. Obviously the info should be merged, but under which heading? [[User:JaffaCakeLover|JaffaCakeLover]] ([[User talk:JaffaCakeLover|talk]]) 13:53, 24 November 2010 (UTC) |

:I deleted the GOTY mention under ''Downloadable Content'', as the mention under ''Special Editions'' was properly referenced and stated that all listed DLC was included in the GOTY edition. I think that sounds reasonable. [[User:Jagmastercd60ce|Jagmastercd60ce]] ([[User talk:Jagmastercd60ce|talk]]) 3:03, 13 December 2010 (UTC) |

== Merge accolades list == |

Per recent discussions ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_149#Revisiting_awards_tables_and_lists] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_147#Request_for_comment_by_WPVG_editors_at_an_FLC] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Video_games/Archive_5#Award_tables:_include_website_awards_or_not?]) on standalone accolades lists, I think [[List of accolades received by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves]] should be merged back into this article. The table is far too short to warrant a separate article per [[WP:SPLIT]]. The relevant guideline is at [[WP:VG/AWARDS]].

The list is too big, I don't think that it should be done. [[User:TGabunia|TGabunia]] ([[User talk:TGabunia|talk]]) 03:14, 16 January 2011 (UTC) |

:I don't know. I split this page in the first place because the original article was tagged for being too long. --[[User:Osh33m|Osh33m]] ([[User talk:Osh33m|talk]]) 19:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC) |
|||
:Therefore, wouldn't it get its own article? That would have been the reason it got its own article in the first place. Merging would only cause the awards section of this article to be too big, and then it would be suggested to be made into its own article... It already has been done, so why take it away? --[[Special:Contributions/114.241.30.19|114.241.30.19]] ([[User talk:114.241.30.19|talk]]) 02:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC) |

::Per [[WP:SPLIT]], the main UC2 page has about 26k characters, which is far below the length guidelines for a split. The prose on the accolades page would also be dramatically reduced to be less redundant to this page so it would have even less than the 1.6k characters it has now.

Merge accolades list
[edit]Per recent discussions ([1] [2] [3]) on standalone accolades lists, I think List of accolades received by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves should be merged back into this article. The table is far too short to warrant a separate article per WP:SPLIT. The relevant guideline is at WP:VG/AWARDS. Axem Titanium (talk) 05:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
