Uncharted 3 |OT| All Developers Dream, But Not Equally

There's already over 500k players in the leaderboards. MP is actually pretty awesome once you get the hang of it, it's decidedly different from anything else.

Too bad people that have no experience from the Uncharted MP forums know nothing about that pattern, lol!
Some friends of mine have the same problem. It's a new bug.
And how many of those are alts and people who played the MP once and then abandoned it?
This is why we need a player count, just like in UC2 MP.
I really don't think there are a ton of alts playing the game right now. I mean, this isn't the kind of game that creating an alt for your own purposes means much (especially this early on in the games' life cycle). Unofficially, the game sold 1.3 million copies over it's first weekend, and it seems like a lot of people are enjoying its MP. Getting 500k to join in on the MP isn't that surprising. And like you said, a lot of them might never touch it again.
Edit: Player count would be a nice addition.

I think that most people bought it for the SP alone. TLOU is even more SP-centric than Uncharted 2 & 3, considering the fact that they didn't advertise the MP (betas, promotions etc.) this time around.

You're about halfway.

About 70% I'd say.
Sorry couldnt find the UC2 thread, it appears buried now. I have troubles with audio and video during cutscenes for all Uncharted games. If I skip the cutscene in UC1, and then watch from the main menu it works fine, but during playing the game it is unwatchable. Any idea the cause of the problem?
I have cleaned the file system and os for the PS3 and the disk are brand new, so I know that is not a problem with the disc. I dont have any problems playing other games, it is just the Uncharted series so far. The digital version of UC3 doesnt seem to have the same problems, the video slows a little, but the audio is fine and there is no stuttering. The main reason Im asking is because I have a copy of the Last of US ready to go, but I dont want to open it and I cant play it do to technical problems.

I have a PS3 slim 160gb model. Think that is the older model of slim. It is strange because it doesnt happen with all games, just for a few games mainly ND titles. I was going to use MGS4 since it is heavy on cutscenes, but it installs huge parts of the game and it didnt have any problems.

Yep UC games (UC2 and UC3) give my 120GB Slim problems for me too. I think since they're dual layered discs, it struggles to read them due to the lenses...every other game works fine for me but the Uncharted games just tend to fuck up on me the most. It's either due to the lenses or it could be a hard drive problem for me in my case. I'd want to say lenses though...
TLOU worked pretty good for me. I only had four freezes compared to god knows how many in Uncharted. No audio problems either.
Would you guys recommend picking up the GOTY edition?
I have the original version and I just recently REALLY started getting in to the multiplayer. Would it be worth it to trade in my OG copy and pick up a pre-owned GOTY copy? Are the DLC maps/skins worth it?
EDIT: Also, is there a way to check on the multiplayer what treasure sets I've completed and the progress of others? It's hard for me to figure out what I've unlocked once I completed a set.

Uh, all the of the GOTY stuff is PSN codes, if I'm not mistaken. How would yo know the the codes in the pre-owned copy are still valid?
I would say that the DLC is not worth it. There's plenty people that play without DLC. You'd be paying for 8 maps from UC2 and four new maps(that are actually kinda crap).

Apparently all the DLC is on disc from doing a little GoogleFu. Ah well, thanks for the input. Will decide on it later.

I'm a hardcore player and I also don't think the DLC is worth it. Well, it depends. If you're a competitive person, it's OK since you won't run into brain dead players that much since there's more "experienced" players in that pool. but you'll also be running into parties a lot more and will experience more rage quits from other players since they're all about conserving their lol stats. For me personally, I've experienced more lag in the DLC pool than in the default pool. If you're going to be playing as a lone wolf (by yourself without partying up), you'll find matches pretty quickly in the DLC pool. If you party up with people, it'll take longer to find a match in the DLC pool than it does in the default pool.
If you're a co-op person, I think it's worth it since you'll get map variety and from my experience, people tend to vote for Crushing a lot more than the default pool and know how to handle it.
I've had to uninstall my DLC and I don't miss it.

Ah okay thanks. Was just considering it for all the maps from UC2, but guess I'll pass on it for now.
They don't work as well as they did in UC2 either because of the increased game speed.
I played some UC3 games earlier today, two years later and I still can't believe what a disgrace the pistole is. This is the only weapon in UC3 that ever needed a buff.

Rare drop weekend until Monday July 8th! Hope they forget about the deadline for this like the cash event so it goes on even more.

I pray to the Multiplayer Gods I can finally obtain the damn Copper Newari Figure.

Lrn2notreset, PS2.
Hahaha kidding. Hopefully they'll make it permanent so that people have a better chance of actually unlocking stuff. I understand all the frustration when it comes to the co-op treasures. It's almost impossible to complete all sets without having to grind your ass off in that mode. Hell, it took me to the third (?) treasure drop weekend to finally complete my sets and it was through Hunter Arena that I managed to complete it. Make it permanent ND. your DLC trophies for completing all treasure sets is BS and almost impossible without this rare treasure drop weekend and you know it.
And woo-hoo Lab Map 1 returns. I love that map!

Subway Beta? Man, that beta was a piece of shit. The current state of UC3 is 100x better than it was during that awful beta. If you were talking about the summer beta however, THAT is a different story.
Summer beta > current UC3 > Subway Beta
I suggest you play Hunter Arena so you can unlock the Top Hat. All the "rare" treasures seem to be there and you'll waste less time than if you play co-op arena. Hunter might be terrible, but it really does contain all the missing rare pieces to complete sets. It's the only way I've managed to complete all of mine.

Rewrite, play legit Hunter with me or farm.
I was playing it by myself last night and I definitely got way more rares than my Arena sessions. There was one game where I assume the opposing team and my partner were farming each other. Kinda joined in on it, but got annoyed, so I scored to end the game early. teehee.

Yep, it's already on the disc. You don't have to do anything to unlock it, you just need the online pass to play online.
oh thanks!

Saw a glitch tonight where a dumb legacy 5 level 75 was glitching throughout the whole map in Facility. He went through walls and everything. It's almost like he could walk anywhere he wanted and on air...
The absolute worst part is that the beginning of the cinema file doesn't show how he does it. When it finally loads his view point, he's already outside the map doing impossible shit.

Wow, that's utter bullshit. I would say, "I hope Naughty Dog can fix this", but that's as sad as this person's life.
Is it a cfw online-enabled clown? Sony outta permaban him and his console.

Yeah, it's CFW 4.46 and the best part is that he can change his console's serial number with a special software.

Ugh, what the shit. And here I thought we'd be safe from online cfw cheating, but looks like it'll be another Mario Kart Wii experience if this hack spreads (yay..... :/).

I was going to ask why bother hacking a two-year old game, but then I realized that now is the best time to do it since it's been abandoned by Naughty Dog. They likely won't do anything about it or SONY.
I hope Sony gets serious in banning people just like Microsoft has done with XBL for PS4. This is unacceptable in many levels.

I guess Sony won't mind if disgruntled customers flock to their new, shiny, hack-proof console (aka the PS4).

I just ran into that hacker who's video was posted on this thread right now. So glad to see he hasn't gotten banned and is running around freely with infinite rocket launchers and hammer shots. He didn't have infinite health since he was killed and team killed.
