15 minutes, you were bored as fuck and came here to post that before editing? Do you have any type of ADD?
But really, do people ever consider perhaps its just the mood you were in at the time? My perception of entertainment shifts so often that I have to accommodate it on a regular basis. I guess it gets easier with age; understanding your mental state and adjusting accordingly.
Turn the difficulty down to casual. It'll make it much less frustrating for you and you'll stop worrying about dying.

Where is that option? I couldn't find it.
I got the Platinum for it anyway so no need to bother
Shame on you Vio...
Got this for Christmas and beat it yesterday. First third was quite disappointing, just wasn't very exciting. But the rest of the game was good.
I have to agree with people who say it wasn't as good as UC2. It had some nice set pieces, some Dark Void vertical gameplay, the graphics were jaw-drop amazing, but feels like I was just going through the motions.
I hope the series gets given a rest now, bring on The Last of Us and whatever ND has planned for PS4.

My main problem with the game is that it lacks polish, it was noticeable in my first play-through but now that I know where I'm supposed to go to progress, I'm finding myself waiting for the NPC routines to finish so I can activate a quick time event to proceed to the next area.
Now that we know about Naughty Dog 2nd project, I'm not surprised by this but maybe they should have hired people to support 2 teams before starting 2 projects at the same time.

Compared to other games on the market? I dont think it lacks polish. Uncharted 2 had similar issues to me and if we want to nit pick, the museum is one area that glitched out alot and had trigger events. My is that the themes don't seem to connect very well through out the game. They also needed new characters.
Agreed, it's the first Uncharted game that has quite a few rough edges. I've seen some weird visual shit and seen friendly and enemy AI cock up quite regularly. Still an incredible game though!
Deep (beginning spoiler0
that young drake bit was boring
The past two games made very little attempt to connect to each other and this one is trying to make up for that in the opening sequence seemed forced. I have to admit at that point it felt like a chore and I wanted to put the game down.
I have very little time to play games these days and even less on sequences that I feel are dragged out unnecessarily.

NOt sure what you want really ... fist fighting in a bar is boring , adventure & exploration is boring rofttop chase is boring . Knowing how the 2 most important characters of the franchise met is boring ..
Yeah very boring ..
I'm really not sure what you're looking for in uncharted 3..

I can understand that releasing a separate SP download wouldn't be feasible due to the huge size of the video cutscenes, but what about a separate MP download?
What an amazing ride this game was. It started a little slow but it really picked up after the first quarter. ND is a spectacular developer. The only complaint I could have is that the
part felt a little disconnected from the rest of the game and a little forced.

Mp download is possible it is what they didwith the subway promotion
Just beat the game. God damn that final half of the game was fucking amazing. I didn't think they could still blow my mind with the graphics, but those final chapters... man!
I definitely agree with a lot of the criticisms against the game, it just wasn't as tight of a package as Uncharted 2 (or 1 for the matter). The overall story wasn't as strong, the progression between areas didn't feel as strong and some of the combat scenarios were seriously infuriating (on hard at least). However, the set pieces were once again out of this world and I was still constantly being wowed. Alsom maybe it's just me, but I thought the character moments between Elena and Drake were really really special. Hell just in general they did a great job with the character moments. I really enjoyed how they fleshed out the relationship between Sully and Nathan.
I do hope they leave Uncharted be for what it is at least until the PS4, or at the very least severely change up the formula. But man do I love the cast of characters of this game. It really felt like meeting up with an old friend when you see Elena for the first time.

I'm in chapter 8 right now and I'm really bored. I played Uncharted 2 and this seems more of the same. An endless loop of cutscene, jumping/climbing, fighting bad guys. There hasn't been any change-of-pace yet so repeating those same things is getting tiring. Plus it looks almost exactly the same as Uncharted 2.
It is pretty much a lot more of Uncharted 2, but I recommend you keep playing because the game's set pieces get really really good.

where the hell are the new maps? come on naughty dog, keep the community interested!!
To be fair the only portions of those scenes you mentioned that were not boring was some of the dialogue. The rooftop chase was just frustrating, and like I said when I edited my post (by not changing it but adding to it) That it was ok after the back alley scene.

I know right.
Charging $20-30 for a separate MP download sounds reasonable to me.It wouldn't be more than 4GB and you wouldn't have to worry about Blu-Ray lens wear and tear...

ND said no patches/DLC till after New Year.
after watching U3 older videos (E3 and chateau gameplay) I think ND toned down hit reaction intentionally ,in those builds you can see that hit reaction is more like U2(enemies stop moving or shooting when they were getting shot)

shit better be good for making us wait this long...
It's not that is hard, it's fucking stupid. Makes no sense to be fighting an army around every corner. I'm more dissapointed than mad i guess.

fuckin' called it, man
Any one have tips on beating the Citadel? Stuck and angry here.
Seriously, is there anyway I can do something about this? Call Sony or whatever? I have the overwhelming feeling that I'm just boned on this and will have to make a new account and forfeit all my purchases.
Did you try deactivating those PS3s from the new PSN website?

FAL-SS is such a beast, keep it that way ND.
Aside from GMAL and the sniper rifle there really isn't much of a distance game, smaller reticles would really help.
They really need to patch it so that when I go into the options I don't see alternate aiming mode showing "off" when time and time again I switched it to "on".

Can't, it has to be deactivated from the actual PS3 system.

It's a shooter; what were you expecting? I really don't understand these complaints.
There has been some changes. You are now given the ability to deactivate ALL your PS3 systems through the website, but only once every 6 months.
I'll quote this from the other thread. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=456898

Guys was this an easter egg, glitch or mega bomb?
I was playing TDM in Yemen and I just grabbed the RPG. I used it to kill a guy who was standing near the stairs by the turret/RPG. As soon as I did, however, there were literally 3-5 seconds of non-stop explosions. At the end of it, I died and somehow killed a teammate (via propane explosion). When I came back to that central courtyard area (where the RPG is located and where the explosions happened) I noticed like hundreds of exploded propane tanks on the ground.
What was that?

Alright so without trying to get too ripped in here, I decided to get rid of the game after Chapter 16. The shooting sections, like the other Uncharted games, are the least desirable sections of the game, but it's taken to a whole new level of suckitude in this iteration of the series. The first 10 chapters are mostly fine in this regard, with only a few frustrating moments, but past that it just gets ridiculous. So you mean to tell me that there are 2034723 guys, all with rocket launchers, grenade launchers, sniper rifles and body armor that are guarding every single place you visit in the game? Guards are realistic given the locations, but this is complete overkill guys. There's a point in a game where it takes skill to get past a part, and where you are just being overwhelmed to create cheap difficulty to make the game longer/falsely challenging.
I kept telling myself that the next time I got stuck would be my last, and it kept happening again and again. It really sucks too because this game has some of the most incredible moments in gaming in recent memory; so many cinematic scenes, so many awesome set pieces and locations. Playing as
and learning all the back story between the characters was riveting. Rooftop chases, escaping a burning building, getting out of a sinking ship, etc. was just plain unbelievable. It's a shame that there wasn't more of this and less of the shooting trash that just simply doesn't belong in this series in the capacity that they have included it. I really tried Naughty Dog, I really did, but after hours of constantly getting stuck at stupid, frustrating and completely unnecessary parts, I simply cannot play this game any more. I hope the next Uncharted has much less shooting and much more adventuring/puzzle solving, because THAT is where the game really shines. Please leave the mindless shooting to games like CoD, Gears of War and others that are made for it and handle it better, and stop injecting it in to games that don't need it. Thanks.

It's not a shooter, that's the thing, it's an adventure game with shooting elements that have become far too overplayed in this iteration. This problem wasn't present in the first 2 games.

It is a shooter; Tomb Raider is an adventure game, and yes, both previous Uncharted games featured tons of shooting. In fact, I would say U3 has less shooting than U2, mostly during the first half of the game. I swear it seems as if people are just latching on to whatever prevailing opinion in a thread seems popular, or fits some agenda, and just run with it.
Awesome!!!!! Thank you so much!
UC3 has WAY more shooting over 2 atleast. I can't recall much with 1.
The biggest issue is the pacing, so I can see why the above poster stopped at chapter 16. They have all of the puzzles in the first half of the game, from chapter 11 on you have nothing but traversal and a heavy focus on shooting. And regarding the shooting, the enemy encounters are just designed to throw everything at you, enemies bumrush with no regard for bullets(because they barely react). It was just horrible to me.

I'm sorry what? Uncharted 1 and 2 had way, and I mean WAY more shooting than Uncharted 3. Uncharted started of was a shooter with platform/adventure elements and in Uncharted 3 they brought it close to a 50/50 line.
The problem in Uncharted 3 is that the enemy encounters aren't well designed/paced. They throw too many highly aggressive enemies at you who care little for their own safety. Which actually pays of well for the enemies because I died a crazy amount (first time through on hard).
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
No.
It could have been that the guy you killed with the RPG had Revenge Level 3 and had his Cluster Bomb kickback. If you kill someone with Revenge Level 3 and he has a grenade type kickback, he'll drop it when you kill him. As for the propane tanks, I'm at a loss.

Sometimes I get this feeling that the ps3 is working way too hard with this game, or the devs are demanding way more than what the ps3 is capable of. I see slowdowns, some jaggies here and there, bad shadows, low res ssao?, etc. I mean the overall package looks good, but it feels like the image quality suffers in way too many places

don't worry, from chapter 9 it suddenly becomes a JRPG. From chapter 11 it becomes a RTS game and the last two chapters are rhythm based.
Nathan shapeshifts in to a japanese androgynous character and slowly changes over the last chapters untill he's a pixel sprite unicorn.
Keep going.
I really wish you weren't being facetious because that game sounds awesome.

in all honesty, as a gamer, i would love a game that changes gameplay over chapters too
Exactly, i'm not complaining that there is shooting involved, this encounters were far better in Uncharted, it was usually you versus 3 or 4 guys with similar weaponry and lots of running and gunning, now the melee feels forced and more often the bad guys come in big waves with rocket launchers, shotguns, grenades and the kitchen sink, it's not fun FOR ME. Like i said, i loved Uncharted but it started getting really old in Uncharted 2, too much shooting and it's just not fun for me.
Like i said, it feels more like a Modern Warfare game with explosions and scripted shit at every corner, Uncharted had a perfect balance in this regard. Now it's puzzle - holy shit an exploding cruise ship - puzzle - holy shit an exploding airplane - rinse and repeat.
