Wow so my online pass doesn't work.

Can't believe they haven't got it sorted in Europe tbh, absolutely terrible.

 

[rSpooky]

Awww, I wish I had a daughter now

It is so awesome, when i ask her about her favorite weapon and she grins wide and says RPG..lol
She also loves Battlefield MP. and plays on my bathroom breaks hehe.
edit: and batman

 

[revolverjgw]

God this game is so **#(*&# good!!!

This is the new benchmark for writing and storytelling in games.

The presentation is really good. The interaction between the characters is better than ever, and the plot just seems a bit more fun to follow. As usual this is the one series where I never get annoyed at a cutscene starting up.

I love the self-aware humor, like Sully wondering why Nate just doesn't carry his own matches, and Nate getting ready to perform an elaborate platforming detour to open a door and then

Spoiler

Cutter

just forces the door open. He's a great addition to the usual crew.

Really wish they'd patch the aiming though...

 

[gutterboy44]

Wow, just got to Chapter 12.
O_O
This. Game.
Fuuuck that whole sequence before Chapter 12 was so intense!

I just got to 12 before shutting it off last night as well. Jesus christ this game is amazing. I have slowly accepted the lower graphics on consoles over the last two years compared to the surging PC market but fucking hell, this game has me stopping in my virtual tracks constantly. Ahh, I am not even a graphics whore but the art direction and visuals are astonishingly good.

Unequivocally the best looking console game to date. I don't see it being surpassed before the end of the gen unless by Naughty Dog themselves.

I felt the aiming was weird at the start but once I got other guns it felt fine. Maybe I adapted, but it felt very odd at first. They don't shine on this game as much but I highly recommend FPS Freek stick addons. They made a massive difference in Payday. Won't play an FPS without them.

 

[REV 09]

Up to chapter 8, kinda meh so far. Controls are jank. The game design is really repetitive. Drake goes to door, oh door is locked, let me find a way around. Drake slips on something or falls to some degree....seriously, every pipe or brick doesn't have to come loose. Cutscenes are mostly great, the game is just ok so far though.

Cheapyd's unboxing video of the Uncharted 3 controller

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y118ccGrS6Q

It's so ugly. I feel the same way about the Mike Krahulik's poster. I love his art/Penny Arcade, but something is just off about the Unhcarted 3 poster he did.

 

[Hixx]

Go it through Lovefilm this morning. Put it in about 10-15 minutes ago and after the very first scene, which is no more than a tutorial I turned it off and decided I had to buy it.

Fuck. Off to the town centre.

 

[Furoba]

Media blackout ftw!

 

[Biggzy]

Well the postman has just delivered the game. Now time to make my self a cup of team, get some snacks and play some Uncharted bliss.

 

[dark10x]

so was that eurogamer guy's review full of bullocks after you guys play it?

Yes and no.

There seem to be more sequences which force you down a specific, narrow path as the review suggested, but the amount of interactivity available during those bits is incredibly impressive. There were so many sequences in the game that would simply have been QTEs (or cutscenes) in other games. There have been at least a couple moments throughout where I didn't realize I was in controls (it looked like it was a cutscene, but was interactive instead). After coming from the QTE heavy BF3, this is like a breath of fresh air.

If you're going to do some linear action sequences, this is the blueprint for how it should be done.

In hindsight, I find it very strange that the reviewer singled out Uncharted 3 of all games.

 

[Ikuu]

It's a shame the combat in the game is still the weakest part, enemies take far too many shots to die and the game just throws far too many enemies at you. The controls also feel really clunky (can't remember if it was like this in previous games).

 

[_RT_]

I've been a huge fan of Uncharted...... but the controls this time around are fucked.
The left thumbstick needs some attention ASAP.

I've heard this now so many times here on GAF. Is it possible that the NTSC and PAL versions are different? cause i have no fucking problems with this game. I haven't encountered any bugs, glitches or control issues.

He used a high profile game to push his agenda that would elicit a huge response.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Im in uk and managed to input my pass code on just fine at around 00:06 this morning and got online without any hitches...Is it just for the rest of europe excluding UK peeps or are a few escaping the clutches of the pass code system?

It literally controls like the last two Uncharted games.

Yep.

Spoiler

And when 12 opens up to see the entire shipyard *___*

As for the controls, I don't think they really bother me. I haven't played the other 2 games in a while, so maybe that's part of it. I also don't play games with shooting in them outside of Uncharted, so...

Re-playing some of the chapters

Spoiler

made me realize how little sense some things make: For example: Drake was in the desert for days without any water. The whole thing was really intense; he couldn’t really walk anymore, he was exhausted, etc. Now he’s back in some village and magically just as healthy as he was before even though he didn’t drink, eat or sleep? This doesn’t make any sense.

 

[Ricker]

Made it up to the start

Spoiler

of the Jungle in France lol

and had to stop but it`s pretty amazing so far...I hated the escape as a kid part a bit because it was kinda of trial and error and I died a lot but it auto saved well enough so it wasn`t rage quit bad yet hehe...I did get a few glitches so far,especially weird movement and jogging for positionning by the NPC but overall,amazing looking game.

 

[Jaroof]

Okay..
Chapter 12.
Holy holy holy shit.
I--- damn this game is fucking AMAZING!!
It keeps getting better and better!
Naughty Dog.. I ruv you. I ruv you rots. <3
Unfortunately, I have to stop for tonight..
Will continue this later. Can't wait

 

[jiggles]

Wait, woah, woah, woah.

If I've imported the game from the US, and I'm in the UK, how does the online pass work? If I redeem the pass on my US account, can my UK account play online? If not, will the pass work on the UK store? Will a UK online pass bought from the Store work with the US version of the game?

 

[Jaroof]

Yep.

Yes!!!
So amazing. My jaw dropped for like the tenth time since I started this game >_>
I'm also fine with the controls.
They did feel a tiny bit different to me at first, but it's nothing that I wasn't able to adjust to.

Have you ever heard of "strength of will" ?

for example this guy:

Hiker Aron Ralston Cuts Off Own Arm to Survive

With no water and as little hope of survival, Aspen mountaineer Aron Ralston, 27, used a pocketknife to amputate his own arm and free himself from a boulder weighing 800-1,000 pounds that fell and trapped him for five days in a remote desert canyon in eastern Utah.

That's the will to survive.

 

[klier]

I just finished it on normal. I would rate it about as high as U2, which is very good since U2 is my favorite game this gen (on HD consoles).

The end boss was weird though. Didn't feel like fighting a boss at all actually. I knew I finished the game because I suddenly saw the 'Charted!' trophy popping up

 

[Kagari]

It's funny that people love Chapter 12. I didn't like it one bit.

I think the scale and the amount of stuff going on is impressive. You typically don't see a level like this in a game. At first I thought it was the E3 demo level, but then you go outside and :O

 

[Desmond]

Where the fuck are you postman?

 

[krioto]

Just got it delivered to work, and popped around the corner to play at my mates place for an hour. Controls are the same as the other games - what is the problem? I finished UC2 again on the weekend and cannot feel any difference.

Spoiler

I'm not saying that surviving that is not possible, or at least I didn't mean to say that. What I mean is simply that it's impossible to act like nothing happened - no slower movement, no nothing. Everything's back to normal and that doesn't make any sense under any circumstance.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

SPOILER-TAG THAT SHIT !!!!!!!!!

 

[ZeroRay]

For those who say they can't see the difference in controls.

Try to make a circle by moving your reticule in the single player, then try the same thing in multiplayer or Uncharted 2.

Spoiler

They also made a really big point in-game/in the reveal trailer of him finding a gun in the cargo plane wreckage, which you do an carry with you for part of Chapter 18. The it suddenly vanishes. I realize that the gun is needed to find a treasure, but it's dumb that it disappears. He should have just been gunless all the way to the first fight in the village.

 

[Callibretto]

I'm listening to latest giant bombcast and they said there's a few places with infinite re-spawning enemies in U3, is it true? I don't think previous Uncharted have that at all.

 

[Dyno]

And to think with all the games coming out I was going to take a pass on this one!

Played the first 8 chapters or so with friends last night and all of us were blown away. Probably one of the best game intros of all time.

Spoiler

Barfight! Whoa! Young Drake meeting Scully! Whoa!!! Plus an awesome shamalama twist!

Naughty Dog's ascension is complete! Nobody is doing what they do. So far this has been the most fun and impressive title of the season.

That's not too bad, even on Crushing. There are more than enough explosive weapons around. You could two shot them with one of the many RPG-7s or M32 Hammers or kill the "human" form with a gun, then one shot them with the RPG or Hammer.

At the first chapter, seriously though, here's the top two things that impressed me:

Oh my god there's a reflection in the mirror! AND IT'S DISTORTED FROM THE CRACKS.
