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

Sully takes a few shots at a guy and I slide underneath him with a kick to the groin. Haha so great. I honestly see no difference in combat in this vs U2. Lovin every damn minute of this.
Im definitively am doing melee attacks way more than I used to. Its really the most effective tool when its just you and a few guys.

Amazon code didn't add much that I didn't already unlock besides carpet bomb. Already have Elena's GMAL and the Para9 clip size. Does co-op stop being spoiler fodder at a certain point or does it cover events and locations all the way through the game?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious as hell, but where do I go after this? I've wandered around for a good while and can't for the life of me find where I'm supposed to be going. It's kind of weird how much this game babies you at times and then how stumped I am other times.
Edit: Nevermind found it. Still weird that I'll be figuring out a puzzle and they'll instantly say something and it's like "Um... I kind of wanted to figure that out myself..." or "yeah I knew that..." but this time nothing is said at all.
And done! All in one day, didn't even turn the PS3 off. 7:45.
Certainly in the same arena as UC2, and I'm tempted to say its better (dat setpieces) but I'm still high from dat finish. Goddamn! Going right back in tomorrow I think. Gonna play some co op and MP tonight.
Best story in the series, but a few times they don't really explain why I'm doing what I'm doing until a good ways in (happened twice).

Just finish love the last set of chapters.
I have to say UC3 is now my favorite in the series .
Unlike some people here i had no problem aiming so that was no problem for me.
Of course i understand when people say the have no freedom ND made some really great looking places and you wish you could explore them .
Still awesome game and to me everything was better in UC3.

I canceled my Amazon pre-order over a month ago (renting it through GameFly instead) but they still sent me a code for "Carpet Bomb Kickback, Clip Size Mod for Para 9, and Clip Size Mod for G-MAL." I'm not sure if the code will work since I'm not buying it anymore but I'm willing to give it away. First PM gets it.
Edit: It has been claimed.

So, Newegg just delivered my copy today. I am so confused.

Got up to Chapter 8.
I can definitely feel the difference in aiming compared to UC2. The aim slows down near an enemy and has cause a few deaths because I expected the crosshair to stop later. Occurs more frequently when you are trying to headshot and playing on hard, there's not much margin for error.
Other changes I noticed.
- A.I. can be really dumb and walk into the middle of a firefight without taking any cover
- Enemies don't react to bullets as much. Maybe this is where the bullet-soaking comments come from. UC 1/2 enemies reacted to gunshot wounds. UC3, not as much.
- Nathan Drake wanting to touch everything while moving is annoying.
I haven't gotten to the meat of the game, but I still think it's been fun. I prefer UC2 shooting so far, let's see if the shooting gets better. Puzzles are better in UC3 for sure.

Loving the game so far.

I didn't fire a single shot during the first hour or so of play, it was all exploration and adventure.

I liked how it flashed back to Nate when he was a kid and it showed how him and Sully met. That's something I always wondered about so it's good to see it in the game.
All this touching I feel like I've left the pub in GTA IV. I mean it's a cool feature cause it happens dynamically but most of the time it feels just off.marathonfool said:
Also shot a guy from 5ft away with the sawed off shotgun, he crumbled but apart from touching his stomach he was fine, come on!
I haven't seen anything as contrived as "Museum Gear Solid" from UC2. The equivalent section is a lot quicker and has more to do with the story. Only weird thing so far is that during the Crash Bandicootish chase sections it seems like the camera is opposite of where it should be, whereas in UC2 it was always correct.
The closest thing for me this year in games is Deus Ex and I still cannot get past a progress killing bug so maybe this wins with an asterisk so far. Still need to play several other games before the end of the year. Could be a hard comparison since games like Dark Souls and Batman aren't attempting the "full package" in terms of single/multi/co-op.
Too bad you don't end up in the London parking garage from Human Centipede 2.

This reminds me of a conversation from Idle Thumbs where they talk about the imaginary board-room meeting with the Assassin's Creed 1 team, where they discuss the crowd-touch feature that implements mind-blowing maths that took months of testing only for the team to realise their game is never densely packed enough to show it off, so the protagonist goes out of his way to touch EVERYTHING.Bollocks said:

Elena has been getting more conventionally attractive starting with her original concept art for Uncharted 1 and culminating in her 3rd in-game iteration.
I can only pray that there is a metal-bar handjob in Uncharted 3. Which I will begin playing soon. Woot.
Been playing for the past 2 hours and currently at Chateau. I think the graphics have definitely improved, especially the character models themselves. Chapter 2 was also a delight. It certainly has met my expectations. Really enjoying it thus far.
My biggest gripe is the aiming... seriously wtf? I play the MP regularly and consider my self a competent player but man, it feels really off. I can confirm, though not through statistical data, that aiming in UC2 and UC3 are vastly different, so i am not experiencing any placebo. Its like in UC2, the cross-hair would go where you wanted it to, but in UC3 its like go here but it actually does not go there... and the input lag seems noticeable enough =(. Luckily there have not been many fights thus far but i can see this really souring my experience.
Ah well, maybe i will adjust to it in a bit... I just don't understand why the aiming in SP is vastly different to MP in terms of cross-hair movement.
EDIT: Hmm... the AK/shotgun aims a lot better than the pistol lol

Yea, I said so in one of my earlier post but the games get exponentially better after chapter 11, and the firefights before boarding the ship are hard but so enjoyable, so much freedom on how to play those. Game is so good. and chapter 15? Holy shit nobody is going to top that for a while... nobody.

Nobody except ND. I mean no one has even tried to touch UC2.
Two hallucination questions (END GAME SPOILERS):
Was I supposed to shoot Sully in the flashback? I did not and the story progressed, but I wonder what happens if you do.
What was the female voiceover? I didn't catch most of it, I was too busy freaking the hell out. I'm a little bummed the Jinns weren't real.

I did notice what people were talking about with the "hand-holding" within the first half hour, though. There's a section where I'm specifically forbidden to go to accessible places just because the game doesn't want me to go there, whereas Uncharted 2 gave me a bit more freedom in movement at least.

That's awesome, I hope retailers keep doing that for these bs online passes, shame GameFly doesn't do the same.ViewtifulJC said:
