I no longer care. I don't want to play it anymore.


I have a fooking US account, it's region locked monkey boy!

Like I keep saying yeah right dude,its a fucking demo.

 

[Oneself]

Fucking crap, I can't even log on the store. What the fuck is this.

 

[h3ro]

Uncharted broke Europe and the PSN Store... what a game!

 

[Steroyd]

...

I can confirm I have been Eurowned. ;_;

Bullshit Sony absolute bullshit.

 

[painey]

nooooo i try to run it and i get "please insert game disk" haaa dont believe it!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Fucking crap, I can't even log on the store. What the fuck is this.

Across the board, both MS and Sony, it's astonishing that they haven't figured out that whatever they expect traffic to be, IT'S GUARANTEED TO BE MORE, YOU CLODS. Plan appropriately.

Mistake identified.

 

[Firewire]

Wouldn't the fact that it was only released on the N.A. store and only announced as a N.A. update been enough of an indicator? It's not like they released a non-functioning demo onto the Euro store...

Seriously though, it probably wasn't done on purpose. I bet they didn't test the N.A. demo on anything but a N.A. machine. That's SCEE's job.

I know it wasn't done on purpose & it being on the N.A. store only is a good indication, but someone at Sony or Naughty Dog could have said something? The frustration that some people are feeling right now (deep) could have been avoided by one simple sentence in all the news & interviews we've seen in the last few weeks. Just seems kinda stupid to me, that no one ever thought to let the public know.

I'll just look forward to my review copy in the post sometime next week

Even Insomniac talked about being able to download Ratchet in any region from the US store and explained the problem with Japanese consoles.

What if you have a PAL console in the US? AYE!!!!?????

 

[iceatcs]

I no longer care. I don't want to play it anymore.

Well give me your fucking PS3 for free if you prove enough.

 

[Goldrusher]

So American consoles only. Interesting...

Probably works with different cut scenes for each region...and European/Australiand and Japanese consoles can't find them in the American demo.

 

[G-Bus]

a flop doesn't mean the game was bad... it means it sold bad, reviews were mixed and it sold pretty lousy. I think this game has far more chance to go mainstream, if it's not AAA than we still don't have one on ps3 yet

Is that your opinion or do you just fallow that of the media?

R&C and Resistance are both AAA IMO. Love them to death.

On topic. SIGH, 30%. seriously, you PAL users just knock it off already. don't make me throw a barrel lama at you.

 

[the_id]

I blame firmware 2.00

 

[Infernodash]

Okay. I thought the animations were stiff. They had a real plastic look to them. I do not know how to describe it technically but the game's character models do feel and look stiff.

The dialogue is great, so is the voice acting. Music is definitely a strength and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Now to the gameplay. Shooting is rather difficult in my opinion, and enemies seem to be bullet resistant. I'm not sure. The "devastating" combo is weak and it almost reminds me of trying to pull off a raging demon. It seems the button needs good timing for it to come off or it's just hook hook.

The game is polished though and I suppose it will be an A or even AA title, but I cannot see how this will be considered AAA.

 

[Lord Error]

When you do nothing, Nathan hunkers down in a squat, looking bored. The water is very nice, although it doesn't seem to flow around Nathan, but he does get wet, which is cool. No problems with the platforming bits at all.

Strange, I've seen water clearly flowing around him in many videos lately. Did you try that move that has you jumping on enemy's back and snapping his neck? I think they have to be turned away from you for that move to trigger.

[justjohn]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[BIG BUBBA]

Haha just played and beat it. It's pretty mediocre (IMO). The controls are super-floaty, and when you jump it's really unnatural and slow. The animation transitions are awful, which is weird because I thought that was supposed to be the game's big innovation. The shooting gameplay sucks, but I guess if you like Tomb Raider and stuff you'll like it. Graphics are unspectacular... The character looks good, but the environment is pretty underwhelming, just a bunch of slimy green blocks.

I'm really glad they released this demo--I was going to buy this game before I played it. Now I know that I'm 100% uninterested.

 

[antiloop]

I just have to say. Awesome thread.

1st couple of pages are hilarious. :lol

 

[Pandamator]

Black screen and no access to the euro store any more. Nice work Sony!

 

[Kittonwy]

yep seems we guys are screwed, Screen turns Black and changed from 1080 to 720p and just becomes BLACK!

so much for Region free PS3!

fuck you sony

LOL

 

[chespace]

:lol @ the Orson Wells...

 

[Tieno]

Wow, played some Zelda, checked GAF to see if the demo was up and see it's region locked so Eurotrash can't play it. What a fucking letdown and so stupid. thankfully I checked and didn't waste any bandwidth.

Regionlocking demos needs to stop, I do not approve of this trend. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

 

[Raist]

In other news EU PSN is downzed.

EU ownage total confirmed

Thanks for the impressions - looks like I'm just going to cancel my download.

Ah well, there is always Jak 4...

 

[Erebus]

Has anyone with a PAL PS3 managed to run this f*cking demo??! I'm about to cancel the downloading.

For another time, F*CK YOU SONY if you region locked this indeed.

Ah, breaking my heart. (Just ordered a PS3 and Drake's was one of the reasons I was trying to put faith back in Sony) Not helping.

Can you post your Amazon cancelled pre-order like you did for R&C (3 times)e i just don't beleive you.

 

[BIG BUBBA]

I'm sure a lot of you guys will rave about it, but I don't know. I didn't feel like I was really controlling him, it's hard to explain. The shooting does nothing for me, but I don't like shooting games.

 

[greenry]

More impressions

The whole product is just top notch. Graphics, animations, voice acting, gunplay, platforming it's all there.

Spoiler

at least in the demo

One thing that I wish it had though was some iteration of Gears of War's cover system. The way the level is designed and how the bad guys come at you it is setup so well for such a thing, you know fluidly moving from cover to cover.

I just checked your post history...perhaps you should just stick with the Wii threads.

Than why even try it, thats the problem right there

 

[Kittonwy]

just beat the demo. was harder than expected (played on normal). was awesome. wish i understood the melee combat better -- you can't just do whatever you want or the enemy will counter you, you gotta stick to combos (the one the demo gives you is square, triangle, square). game is beautiful, ran great, and was much fun. platforming controls are awesome, sixaxis grenade stuff works great.

no real complaints. some of the trees looked plastic and fake, but i'm not sure if that's because this is from an older build or whatever. not a big deal - overall game is gorgeous.

YES!!! Me go download it when I get home from work... or should I go pick up COD4 PS3 first rawr? :3

 

[dfyb]

i sorta wish the hard difficulty was harder than it was. is there going to be an even harder difficulty in the final game or is easy/normal/hard the only difficulties?

You don't like shooting games?

...........You must be one of those stupid sports ppl. :/

Isn't this just like the beginning of the game?
lol, people need to calm down some

I can kind of see that from the videos, but I was hoping it was just a problem in older builds, like when you tell him to climb a ledge, he would just all of a sudden float towards it.

 

[spwolf]

There are no animation transitions. I suggest you sell your ps3 as well.

haha, thank god everyone can download the demo...

 

[MiamiWesker]

Why doesn't the US store work! It must be the europeans sabotaging it, how dare you!!

Nope its 4 of them

He's the guy who kept copy and pasting his cancelled R&C pre-order after he played that demo.

Pretty much him saying it sucks garuntees I'll like it

You certainly have a history of not liking games after playing demos. See: Ratchet & Clank
