What can I say? I have the game set to 1080p and I found the scenes in the museum etc spectacular. I reckon there might be something wrong with your set up. Either that or you are sitting an inch from your tv

Did this thread get bounced back from the Community or something? I didn't see it the last few days.
Looking forward to finally playing this game soon, glad they made an aiming option for us older guys too stubborn to learn new tricks.

Just wait, it'll be on sale soon enough. Or you can line up on Goozex to get it at some point.

People always say they're not noobs but obviously it's rust setting in, in addition to the changes since the subway beta.
I think you're reading into it.If I remember right, Sully didn't change either. They probably just rushed over, implying that they didn't have time or were comfortable enough around her not to. Either that or they just didn't care.
Nope, they both changed clothes and Drake looked gross. I don't think there is a narrative reason for it - I think Naughty Dog just had a model for later, and then lazily just took away the scarf and the guns and said "meh, good enough."

Yeah I mostly agree. Guess we're in the minority, but everything about the MP feels like a different and inferior game. Then again I've never really been into MP for the most part.
Pfft, tell every woman I've ever dated that.
... No, seriously, I'll send you a list of numbers. If you could call them and tell them that I would really appreciate it.

Uncharted 3 seems to have what I like and hate the most about gaming in the same package. I love the traversal and the first fights and doing flying elbows onto enemies down below but I freaking HATE the prolonged gun fight arena sections where you have to kill 50+ guys and every enemy is a bullet sponge and can take 3+ bullets in the head. Its ridiculous. From what I gather the game is probably 15+ hours. It wouldn't have hurt if they cut that down to 8 or 10 hours and cut out all these stupid repetitive gun fights and reduced the bullet spongyness of the enemies. Gah. I really don't know who find those prolonged gun fights fun.
Nah. I'm anal about my TV setup and calibration so its as good of a picture you can get and I've also noticed the jaggies. But thats what you get with MLAA sometimes. Cheap/Fast AA but it can stick out in some spots. But overall the game's IQ is still fantastic.

Just started the coop in splitscreen. Gameplay is cool: nice combat scenarios, quite tense and also quite challenging on hard.
There are some things that bother me though, that are very much not like previous Uncharted games. First, there is too much choice in the first menu. There are so many bs things you can add, upgrade, tweak, whatever. Just let me pick difficulty and let's go. And don't say 'you don't have to change these things' because yes, you do have to check them when you want the best out of the game.
Then, the AI is not that good. The sometimes do not consistently attack, sometimes, they run back and forth, and sometimes out in the open. And also, it's bullshit that some guys grab you from behind and you CAN'T melee them. I hit two times in the air while such a guy was in front of me and I didn't hit him and then he grabbed me...
Also, sometimes when you could throw back a grenade you would pick u a weapon... This is SO EASY to program, why didn't they do it or patch it in already? Other things that annoy me are that sometimes settings wouldn't be remembered when you switch between menus: annoying.
This sounds like quite a rant but I do love the combat, the smart level design (well, I only played the 1st level and it's from Uncharted 2 so...) and how good everything works. EXCEPT the aiming and I wonder whether alternate aiming was switched off or something.
I think in general, the game is not as polished as it should be, and this highly surprises me having extensively played the first two (Uncharted 1 four times, Uncharted 2 two times). They were SO polished, every single centimeter was beatiful and every single mechanism worked.
I felt they spent too much time at stuff that doesn't matter (all the bs customization) and too few time in stuff that does (polishing of the gameplay).
By the way, this is a VERY first impression, only of the first level in coop. This is in no way (yet) representative of the whole game, so don't take it as such. It just surprises me to see an Uncharted-game that is not as extremely polished as the previous ones.

As I remember, for me it was around 14. Some people likes to find treasures and to achieve some trophies before completing the game.
making either/or the SP or MP as a seperate download wouldn't be a bad idea if it were possible.
This is literally the only game I can play in front of non-gamers when they'll say 'please can we finish that game/movie you were playing, I want to see the end'.
Everything else they might be mildly interested in watching (eg. Portal 2) but Uncharted 3... I'm forced to keep on playing (not that I dislike that... it's just non-gamers don't quite understand how long these things take!)

As long as the disc holds all
But yeah, discount to get the SP only might be a good idea.Got this game for Christmas! Uncharted 1 while not perfect has a very special place in my heart and I love it. I obviously loved Uncharted 2 also for single and multiplayer. Heard a lot of mixed things about Uncharted 3, what's the general GAF consensus now after the aiming was fixed? Also is multiplayer still as fun as Uncharted 2?
Multiplayer is awesomer, thanks to increased health alone. There's people that don't like it but I don't care about those people.
Yeah, no. Nothing to do with calibration at all. Replay the museum section at the start and open your journal in a spot where a shadow is cast over it.
just go into the game without any expectations.
When exactly did you turn positive on this game's multiplayer?
When I started using the M9 and ND patched some stuff.

Previous ones have seemed like 15 hour affairs to me. Its always a slog to get through the battle arenas. Especially when they start throwing in armored guards. If it is 8-10 maybe they needed to cut it down to 6-8 then.

Saying I "despise" the MP was a little harsh... it just doesn't appeal to me.
No crouching, no lean, and weird issues with shoulder switching keep me from getting into it. But I can see how some people really like it.

I've probably said this before but U3 mp is the best of the year, and I didn't particularly enjoy U2s mp.

Oh, I just realised this will be the first Uncharted I don't platinum because you need that online pass for some trophies and I'm borrowing the game from a friend. Probably won't take the time to tackle any of the other more specific trophies with that in mind, oh well.
Great game so far, though. The only explanation for the relatively lukewarm reception the game has received is that people have a bit of franchise fatigue, because the mechanics and setpieces seem every bit as good as in the last two so far.

there are only two mp trophies: start a co-op game and start a competitive game, you could get them at your friend's house.
Need. More. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps. Oh and some extra cool modes and multi trophies (not required for the Plat though).
Definitely need more maps and modes though. I'm not tired or anything, but lets spice it up. Need to get my Fortune Hunter's pass working out.
Edit: Extra modes should be free though.

Hm... so the online pass isn't tied to an account but to the PS3 it was activated on?
Maybe I'll go for the other trophies and get those two some other time when the opportunity presents itself (we're rarely at his place).
I'm personally all for leaving the trophies as-is because when all those UC2 DLC trophies started coming out it turned my platinum into 50% or so and that looks ugly bro. >_> </OCD x 1000>

Is it me or is Yemen a really rare map? During the subway beta I played it constantly. Now it never shows up and when it does everyone always picks it by a large margin. It's a shame, its a fantastic map.
Im also dissapointed in no Xmas skins.

Also, Arne, since you're probably looking around here.
There's definitely something wrong with the in-game statistics timer. It resets every once and a while. The timer you guys have online seems right, but it seems like co-op time isn't counted. So I only have 53 hours on MP on there, but I know I'm at like 30+ hours of co-op.

Yeah, I'm into the SP. I still have the code for MP and am wondering if that will get me a significantly better price if I sell used. But I want to keep it just for replays.
I guess I could just sell the MP code and effectively reduce the price of my SP experience.
personally my problem with U3 was aiming issue and lack of hit reaction not the franchise fatigue
The mechanics are actually measurably worse. I mean, shooting, even post patch, isn't as good as Uncharted 2, and 3 certainly has worse pacing and encounter design, not to mention that the story will really show how rushed it is, once you've beaten it.
For me it's not franchise fatigue at all, the quality just isn't here as much as Uncharted 1 and 2.
That doesn't stop it from being world class, though.
Aiming: Occurrence of over/under aim, number of shots fired versus head shots, that sort of thing. Creating a statistic record of the average 'rating' a group of individuals whom have played both would assign to each. The last part is hypothetical, but being able to observe our own occurrences of aiming 'error' and our own experiences with tracked stats between the two games certainly isn't.
How many more instances of death due to being locked in to melee happened in uncharted 3 versus 2? Probably more.
Actually this is a point that should be made, the reason that Uncharted 3 is harder than the previous games is due to multiplayer. Naughty Dog specifically said that one of the lessons they learned with uncharted 2 was not to create a health system that was different between the single and multi. Well, they balanced the game around multiplayer, and as a result Drake takes more damage than he use to in single player. It also doesn't help that many encounters in 3 are in the same vein as the Chateau encounter with Sully from uncharted 1, namely "snipers, rockets, shotguns all at once'.

Well, to me, 'measurable' means that you are going to provide the numbers stating your case. You didn't. Things like pacing and encounter design, I also wouldn't place under the measurable category. They are more subjective issues. I was just picking on your statement a bit.
I am not about to get into an argument with you about this, because it is all pointless. But if you want my opinion, I disagree with nearly everything you said. But I am okay with you thinking the way you do, everyone has an opinion, so let's just leave it at that.
I got this for xmas. Went in with zero hype & find myself really digging the MP. It's like stuntmen playing paintball. My major niggle is that there seems to be a perk involving the dropping of a grenade upon death - the oldest perk in the book, really. It's straight up unoriginal & tired.

i fact everything is streamed form the blu-ray .. it's a blu ray heavy bandwitch game so maybe your drive is tired ?

Got this for christmas and played up to chapter 6 last night. Loving it. Even the GF is engrossed. It helped that the opening is set in Colombia as that's where we live. She said they even got the accents right for the people in the streets as well as regional slang words. Good work Naughty Dog.
One thing, though, why is shoulder swapping turned off by default? Why would anyone want it off?! It was chapter 5 before I first moseyed on into the options and realised I could turn it on. Such an odd decision.
