Have you tried disabling the Information Bar in the XMB? I've heard some people were having trouble with freezing and crashing in Assassins creed and that seemed to fix this problem.

I never enabled the media center or the info board bar. I so f' ing mad. All six disc freeze in the exact same place. I would feel better if all my games froze at least I can blame it on the PS3, hell I can't even do that. so here's my short review based on my short time with the game

I CAN'T FINISH ANYTH....

So fuck Drake and the bitch he chilling with.

Woo, just got home. Picked up the last copy at my EB (the manager dude was surprised, but they probably only had a few copies) and lucky I did, I had a preorder in but they didn't have it set aside. Incompetents. At least today when I called to make sure it was in the guy knew what Uncharted was, every other time I've called I had to have them look under Drake's Fortune. I don't like what that says about sales potential.


Eh who cares now, I'm about 15 minutes in and hot damn I'm excited. :D Been waiting for this game for a long time now, and nothing beats anticipating a game for a while and then getting it and seeing very quickly that your enthusiasm was well placed. The first environment Drake and Sully are exploring is already astonishing to look at.

One kinda funny thing is how I keep running up to 15 foot high columns and holding R1 and X assuming Drake will run up and scale it effortlessly like Altair does. :lol I had to run around a bit to find the low point where I could start the column jumping and I was thinking "come on, that stone wall is nothing BUT handholds! Just climb it!". ;) The positive effect of playing AC heavily over the weekend is the framerate feels silky smooth and I keep expecting long loading screens that don't come.

I can't get off the opening scene gameplay i.e. the boat, no matter how many times I create a new game.

If replaying previous chapters doesn't work, maybe you should wait for firmware 2.01, which should be here by Wednesday.

He voices
the "future" main guy, not Altair.

The file was deleted and no auto save and it still freezes. Question does the game have and install? if so it isn't installing on my system.
Click to expand...

No one answered this question I think. And I can't either as I don't remember :p (I think it does tho)

If so, it might be an issue similar to the Ratchet one.

There's no upfront install before play, no.

It's like you put down on paper exactly what my thoughts were about the game (with the major exception being that you seemed to enjoy both jet ski sequences). I hope your words don't get torn apart too much.

Nope, Nolan North is the voice for Nathan Drake, Altair is voiced by a completely different guy.

Gabriel Roman is voiced by Simon Templeman though, who was the voice of Kain in Soul Reaver.

I can understand why you didn't like the jet ski parts, for sure. I wondered why
she couldn't do her own damn shooting some of the time
, but it wasn't a major annoyance for me.

You could just hit the R1 button while driving
and she would hit all targets dead on - including enemies. You didn't have to manually aim. I found that out during the second jet-ski sequence.

The first one was okay, but the second sequence really, really got on my nerves between fighting the current, shooting dudes, and dodging exploding one-hit kill barrels. Take out the barrels and it would've been okay.

Again, hitting the R1 button makes Elena auto-aim and hit all targets and you don't need to stop and manually aim or anything.

there is definitely something fatally wrong withe either FW 2.0 or this game. My guess is it's the game

It's the firmware. I was having (still do) troubles with the game as well. Others having troubles with other games since the FW update. Needs a fix pronto.

On Chapter 16, can't decide if I want to beat it tonight or not.

All I can say is that this game just keeps getting better and better. Some of the things here and there are a little stupid, but this game is such a blast to play, Drake's movements feel so natural. Still can't say enough about the lighting, these later levels really look stunning.

The last jet ski sequence going upstream was amazing.

That was a well made review. Very informative and didn't seem inaccurate or nitpicky. I understood the bad parts that was mentioned, as opposed to useless one combo from GT for example. Never heard of your site, I already trust it in helping me choose games. Well if you do this often.

This only works on the second sequence, not the first (I just tested).

I was gonna say fucking seriously that would have made that whole sequence better, but meh being able to do it the second time is good enough for me.

Naughty Dog really understands how a character should move in 3D. They get really basic physics like momentum down really well. I think the difference between Naughty Dog games and, say, the 3D Castlevania games, is striking.
Click to expand...
Very true. So many devs have no clue how to make 3rd person character movement that feels good and natural, and yeah 3D Castlevanias are a proof of that.

More like, fucked up priorities.
Uncharted is probably the most wanted PS3 game by the hardcore this fall and a benchmark for console tech, they should at least give it half an effort in selling it.
Click to expand...
Well, I'm pretty sure it's up to Sony to pay for their website advertisment. Still it's pretty weird that EB itself is pushing some old PS3 games on their website over this. Looking at their front page it's nowhere to be found, and even on PS3 page it's just chucked into the corner. In any case, I doubt the EB website sales amount to much either way. They should advertise this on TV as much as possible (not that it helped R&C so far though...) and I've seen Uncharted commercial on a TV a few times already.

O/T but how in the hell do they have Hellgate London CE among the top 10 sellers there (apparently selling better than Assassin's Creed, Crysis, Uncharted...)?

HALP ME GAF!!!

I'm done my treasures FAQ, but I'm fucking missing ONE treasure, ONE!!!11!1! Damnit I was hoping this wouldn't happen.

I'll list the treasures in order that I found them, please check the list against yours. If you found the one that I don't have then post what it is, but also post the treasure you found before it and the treasure you found after it. I think the game keeps track of the list in the order that you found them, most recent ones being at the top of the list. Compare my list to yours, start from the bottom of your in-game list.

If you consider treasures to be spoilers, then do not read the rest of this post.

so... gamespot gave it an 8.0
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/...l?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs&tag=tabs;reviews


The Good
* Lush jungle environments are stunningly realized
* Drake's animations are nuanced and naturalistic.

The Bad
* Tough and plentiful enemies can make firefights frustrating
* Platforming elements can be too forgiving
* Certain story elements are underdeveloped.

Wow, that was totally predicable, just yesterday I was thinking Gamespot would give it an 8 or something, I just knew it. After R&C 7.5 I just wasn't expecting much from them.
