I'm kinda broke, I'm thinking I will try to rent it from a redbox until I can purchase a full version. Is there an online pass I gotta enter?

Nate&
Sully&
Elena&
Chloe.

All those pre-order bonuses are unlockable in-game, right?

I believe so.

I already have all the Amazon ones from the Subway MP.

I have to go to work, so I can't play the game. :( My fiancee and I each picked up a copy at Wal-Mart a little while ago. I could have played for about 45 minutes but it wouldn't be worth it. Tonight, it is ON.

Ha it truly is. You know ND is confident since they use it so much. Absolutely gorgeous stuff going on.

I do, especially with the brutes, the sad thing is on Hard if you don't have a shotgun to aim for their head, you HAVE to fight them.

And about the AI , i'm not sure if they are smart or just stupid. One point you can see them get out the open or take the wrong cover but then they flank you and use a bit of strategy in the big encounters. Especially in the fight before
you enter the ship

Well, my order still hasn't shipped yet but they've charged my credit card anyways, and getting the game late defeats the purpose of pre-ordering.

do what everyone does and just order from Amazon. It's always on time, typically towards the end of the day, but still release date delivery.

oh my god... AGH! I just spent a ton of time taking out every guard, painstakingly doing things not to get caught. Then I'm coming on the last one and drop down to what looks like a ledge in every way shape and form, and fucking die! And have to redo it all... fuck.

WTF, I swore I chose Release Day Shipping, as I always do with Amazon, but my order says Standard Shipping and that it won't arrive until 11/7-9. This is extremely shitty, is there anything I can do? I was actually charged extra for this.

They won't let me cancel, so I'm screwed. Instead of playing it today, I'll be playing in 6-8 days. Fuck.

Chapter 12 and 13 are the best so far. Those are the ones that feel like Uncharted to me so far. From 11 up, the game gets so much better, the pacing of the earlier chapters was just ... i don't know but it didn't feel like an Uncharted game to me.

Interesting, whats with all the mixed reviews on the aiming?

Did they add the whole autoaim/snap-to-enemy aiming? In the MP, this was apparantly a problem with the Sniper Rifles...here is the video on it from the MP thread.
Click to expand...
It feels like it sometimes. I'm playing it on Hard and the cursor seems to move slowly at times when you're aiming at the enemies. I can still aim pretty good, but it doesn't feel as precise or tight like in Uncharted 2. I'm going to fully raise the sensitivity bar. I had raised it a little bit, but didn't bother to test it while maxed out. Will do when I get home.

I received the game today, and after playing for an hour and a half i got to the
chateau, 23% already finished
. The graphics are amazing, but i am not liking the game much yet.
I tried to check the streets of Columbia instead of following Sully, but the game did not let me. It´s shame it´s so restrictive.

So, compared to Uncharted 2...what's the verdict? Solid improvement?
Click to expand...

Kind of a back and forth actually.
-Set Pieces, Visuals, Characters are a natural beautiful step forward.
Melee
Is kind of a step down in all regards. It does some interesting stuff but ultimately I think it detracts from the game rather than enhances it in any way.
Combat
-There are some great things with the combat. I love that you can chuck grenades back if you time it right and its pretty bad ass punching a guy knocking his gun in the air hitting triangle at the right time grabbing the gun and shooting the next guy. Unfortunately though the actual aiming seems really off at times.

Puzzles
-Better in absolutely every way.

Characters
-Best villain yet in my opinion and I think this is my favorite story though I agree that the pacing makes it difficult at times to know what it going on or to remember why you just ended up somewhere.

Visual
-Better than absolutely anything available right now and by a pretty large margin.

Anyway I could give UC2 a solid 10/10 and UC3 is a 9/10 for me.

I completely feel you on that. Hence why last week I called in sick while my wife was at work. You got to do what you got to do baby!

Are the "hidden" codes on walls and stuff supposed to be used for something? I found a 21-character one just now.

Maybe it's just me seeing things, but it seems really out of place.

Edit: Actually nevermind, the characters can be seen pretty much everywhere so I doubt it's anything out of the ordinary.

The Starhawk beta code I got with U3 keeps saying invalid, is that because it is not active yet?

I just started a game in Hard with no hints

I don't know when that beta starts, but I'm 100% sure it won't work now.

Its the other way around for me. A true sign of a great franchise.

Interested, if it's still available. I suck at multi, need all the help ^^'

EDIT: still can't get a solid proof about UK version being multilanguage. Can someone provide a BLES code and confirmation?

I actually feel happy for you. You seemed kinda desperate.

BTW is anybody here desperately interested in a Resistance 3 online pass? I'm sure it would be smarter to offer this in the R3 OT, but what the hell.

Yessir. I felt the story, the set pieces, and the overall game came together so well. Some of the environments reminded me of places I've visited in real life. It was a true work of art.

Yup, it'll keep spitting out that error code until they flip the switch on them.
