GAF, I'm in a bit of a predicament here. Any kind of help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Got a hold of a Korean copy of Resistance 3 (it's the only version available where I live), and now I can't redeem the online pass that came along with it because I can't have a Korean PSN ID. I don't reside in Korea, and hence don't have a Korean Social Security Number (KSSN), which is necessary for making an account. Plus, from what I've heard, it's illegal to even try and use someone else's KSSN, even with their consent. I've tried the code on various other Asian stores (Hong Kong, Malaysia etc.), but to no avail. It appears it will only work on the Korean Store, and that's that.
Now, what I need to know is if I purchase another online pass from, say, the Hong Kong store, would it work fine with my copy of the game? It does, after all, belong to the same region i.e. Region 3.

Last night i played a couple of chapters, reachedLoudninja said:Hey if you guys stuck on anything or are looking for any intel or whatever I have my guide so just ask.

So far so good.
Its cool that it shows how many intel and audio recordings are in each level.
So, I played my first coop session and I can't help but to thing that this whole game was rushed.
I try to join a friends game -> hangs on connecting to the server, ps3 beeps restarts
Try again, now I'm ingame but my friends player locks up, can't do anything besides going into the pause menu.
Third time's the charm, loading took 3x longer, would show the loading screen then black screen then back to the loading screen but we eventually get ingame.
The black screens are really annoying, they last for 10sec and you don't know, lockup, normal?!
Also can't help but to think that it lags horrendously, sometimes I can oneshot enemies with the shotgun but most of the time I need 3 shots.
We also couldn't advance one time because it wouldn't trigger a waypoint, had to restart.
Also my partner is behind we wait for him and sometimes he doesn't even run the last meters he just pops up in front of us.
Then we came to the demo section, there was one instance where I had no enemies on the screen at all I ask my partner if there are enemies and he says yes but all I can see is him shooting in the air
Next thing I know I'm dead.
He laughed because he saw me jumping from the boat but reality is I just stood there and never moved.
Also he seems to attract all the fire, I can run freely around shooting the enemy
I don't know but the coop experience is really ghetto.
They really should have pushed back the release date to make the coop a smoother experience.
I'll hold out on the MP till 1.03 drops.

Insomniac's facebook: "Still waiting on word from SCEA on the deployment of R3 patch 1.03, but hopeful it'll be today."
It's cool that they're supporting this game and all, but I've probably had 5 sittings with this game, and 3 of the were delayed by a patch. Would it have hurt to push the release a couple weeks to get this stuff right?

Ended it today, some of my pros and cons
+ Graphics, they're so good even without HD, full of detail, good texture work and flashy effects
+ Production values, i feel like they crafted the game very carefully
+ Gameplay overall
+ The Weapons, loved them all.
+ More Cinematic than R1 or R3
+ Cutscenes
- AI issues and some annoying bugs
- Gameplay after chapter 17, i felt like open areas and they threw too many enemies to the player.
- The Ending
- This game feels like an spin off, not like a proper sequel, i expected the plot to be more ambitious

that's not it at all, the patch is done (it's 20mb, by the way), it works here, it drastically improves lag/framerate issues. The patch is approved by some territories, but not all have approved yet.
It's been done for what feels like forever (submitted it on Monday), we're pushing to try and get it out for the weekend, but it's not always that easy.
No one is more frustrated then us, because we know it will make the game a ton better.

I had a similar predicament. Japanese copy, Australian account. Entered the code on my Jp account and could play MP on my Australian account. I guess you'd be safe, but yeah, might want to PM jstevenson about it.
Kenshin001 said:
It's not the same because in your case the code and the game disc are from the same region. He wants to use an online pass from a region different than Korea with a Korean copy of the game.
CerebralTiger, what's the SKU for the copy you own? For Resistance 3 it's BCJS-37006 for Japan and BCAS-25012 for Asia (this code was taken from a HK copy of the game). If that code is identical on your copy then an online pass from HK should work.

Do you have a toddler or something?
And yes. 19 1/2 month old. I've read more than enough elmo books for one night.
Unfortunately, I'd rather go back to the books than play another round of R3 online. Garbage play styles. I feel like I'm the only one roaming around trying to have fun. Instead, people just stick to choke points and fire away at each other.
I miss Rfom days. People ran around. I've seen more of one map from Rfom than I have in all maps combined in R2 and 3. Though I did play R1 more... Fun and smoothness go a long way.

So I am only halfway through the game so far but Holy Hell this is so good. I can't believe how much Insomniac stepped their game up. The pacing, atmosphere and graphics are fantastic. Also the chimera are extremely fun to fight again which is saying a lot as I just beat Halo Reach for the 3rd time and that game is pretty much enemy ai nirvana at times. I can already tell as soon as I finish it I am going to start over again. Man well done Insomniac well done.
Argh, sorry, wrong thread.
Anyways, looking forward to hopping online some more. I got to pummel fools with the shotgun while it's still not nerfed.
On another interesting note regarding the cryo gun in multiplayer, I've played a small FFA match and the winner had the cryo gun while we all had regular weapons. He DESTROYED us. There was nothing we could do - the cryo gun would just freeze us too fast. So I guess that weapon is better in games with smaller amount of players.

That's what I thought. But we were all loosing to this guy. I mean, he might have been a much higher level player (Cryo gun unlocks at like lvl. 40 or 50), and I tried my best with the Bullseye + grenades, but once he would start freezing me, I really couldn't do anything.
What kind of upgrades does the cryo gun have?
Beat the game in one sitting on Hard. Overall, R1 > R3 >> R2.
SP
Good:
-The game really did give off a strong desperate and sad vibe the entire time. You really never felt save, especially on the levels where the flashlight comes out. Pretty creepy. Very creepy, actually. Atmosphere is top notch.
-Music was pretty solid.
-Most of the weapons were pretty satisfying to use. There were usually a few weapons that were better for certain scenarios than others, but finding enough ammo for the right guns could be hard at times, which is nice.
-Old school touches like the health system are sweet. Same with the secondary fire.
Bad:
-Enemy AI could be kind of dumb at times, especially when killing them from range.
-Resolution is definitely noticeable. A lot of blurry things going on at times.
-Audio doesn't always sync up (mouths, kill sounds, etc).
-The game chugs at times. I don't know if this is disc/hdd loading, but it's very noticeable in game and in menus sometimes.
-Levels where you are given unlimited health and ammo are way too easy.
-In fact, the game itself was too easy I thought. I remember struggling a lot more on Hard in both R1 and R2.
-The story is WEAKSAUCE. Absolutely nothing is addressed from the previous lore. On top of that, there really aren't very many references to things that have happened in past events.
-To relate to the last point, there aren't very many intel pickups at all.
-Did I mention that the ending is abrupt and dumb? You had the balls to do something drastic like kill Hale last time around. Regardless, even if the ending was going to be a happy one, it still could have been handled better.
-The final room has been done before. Too reminiscent of R1.
MP
Right now, I'm a little bit less than lv30.
Bad:
-The same chugging/lag mentioned in SP occurs here too. Some of this was fixed in the beta, but it kind of seems undone right now. Yes, I know 1.03 is supposed to address this.
-Atomizer is CHEAP as hell. Too many people use it to get easy kills.
-Spawns are completely messed up... still. It's too easy to spawn in front of a horde of bad guys. Not to mention that spawning in the same general area as the rest of your team while the enemy completely slaughters everyone over and over is just retarded.
-I still feel that the cloak is too gimped when humans get the shield. At the very least, take away some of the time it takes for the cloak to kick in. Same with going back into cloak mode after coming out if it.
-Remember how you said that the leaper perk wasn't going to be used as much when the final game came out and there were other choices? Yeah, so not true. I've played a few games where LITERALLY EVERYBODY was using it. It's really fucking annoying seeing 32 leapers and spitters where enemy corpses used to be. Even worse trying to run through them or have a gun battle in that area.
-The GR unlockables should have been good to go on launch.
-Prison is an awful map on so many accounts. All the fighting essentially happens in one area, and it is primed and ready for Atomizer rape.
-Breach is damn near impossible to win. 50 lives to shoot out a bunch of fuel rods that have loads of health?
-I wish you could at least melee with the flag.
Side note, I ran into loudninja last night. First GAFfer I've ran into post-beta. But his friends list was full

Played some more mp today. Did quite well, I'm around level 10. Got my first hate message too lol, so I must have been good.
One things that really bugs me is that there's a rediculous film grain in mp. The game is already blurry, things don't need to be made even more unclear. Looks pretty terrible on the prison map. MP seems a lot blurrier than the sp for some reason too.
nitpick: shouldn't the chimera have a higher field of view? Or are those eyes on the sides of their head just for show?

Why do people complain about the automonizer. I pretty much only use the deadeye, best gun in the game. Plus people move so slow with the automonzier PAY ATTENTION you can pretty much kite and kill them easy

There should be more tampons in gaming
They seriously need to nerf that rocket launcher and ammo perk, its so ridiculous how some dudes will continuously just bathe spawn in missiles...like its instant death once you respawn and the missiles track you as well. Its a lose lose situation. Other than that I love the multiplayer, I think I have to be the best shotgun user in the world lol
