17 million shipped isn't bad at all, but it's strange to change the metric considering Sony announced 13 million sales just a few months ago.

has been been selling after price drop in europe,

[JaseC]

They use the word "sold" in this press release as well.

Yeah, I just noticed that "shipped" in the thread title is an assumptive rewording of Eurogamer's use of "shifted".

Edit: That, or Sony's numbers are in reference to sales to retailers and not sell-through to customers.

[jett]

7.5 million completions out of 17 million units shipped. Someone decide if this is good or not.

Your maths.

They suck.

Fixed for accuracy.

[GQman2121]

Excellent...I only played through the first two games a few months ago, and haven't yet played this one, so I'll just pick up this version.

I'm in the same boat. I love the series but just never got around to picking it up last year. I was just to busy. Even though I don't care for the multiplayer, if this is priced right, I'm all over it.

With the lack of reviews and scores missing from that cover, I'm not sure if its a good game or not though.

[Nibel]

Great cover. Look out, 10 out of 10, this is how you do it you stupid game!

[Seda]

Yeah, I just noticed that "shipped" in the thread title is an assumptive rewording of Eurogamer's use of "shifted".

I guess I assumed the number was shipped, that much more impressive if I assumed incorrectly.

[jigglywiggly]

Your maths. They suck.

Really?

[Endo Punk]

For all those who were on the fence and still are, UC3 is not as good as UC2.

[King of the Potato People]

I thought this game was awesome, I enjoyed the ride even more of my second play-through once I got the ridiculous hype out of my system.

its 94 on metacritic great game, you should check out the review thread in gaf archive, it was pure gold

[Skiesofwonder]

17 million (!), well deserved IMO. My favorite Sony Franchise by a country mile.

s'wrong with you?


fantastic cover, very classy and will be a privilege to have it in my collection among my numerous other goty edition games.

[RamzaIsCool]

7.5 million completions out of 17 million units shipped. Someone decide if this is good or not.

That number is like 16 million +, but I don't know if they count multiple completions by the same gamer.

17.3 million shipped, I wonder what the breakdown is. My best guess is:

UC: 4.5 million
UC2: 5.5 million
UC3: 6 million
UC GA: 1.3 million

[90sRobots]

Fixed for accuracy.

Whoops, somebody doesn't know their homonyms!

[JaseC]

I guess I assumed the number was shipped, that much more impressive if I assumed incorrectly.

The EG article refers to the number as a sales figure, but it'd be nice if we had an official PR release for confirmation.

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I think the lack of logos everywhere is having a disproportionate impact on people's evaluations. It's just Drake's 3D model with a filter over it. It's not even particularly striking in its framing. It's "classy" in its simplicity, but it's not very inspired.

[Ravage]

For all those who were on the fence and still are, UC3 is not as good as UC2.

Nope, i find it better actually. To each their own.

If this game bores you that much, you might as well quit gaming while you're at it.

[Magic Mushroom]

The EG article mentions the figure as sales, but it'd be nice if we had an official PR release for confirmation.

The press release itself says sold as well.

[WrikaWrek]

I don't understand these game of the year editions.

Doesn't it actually have to be game of the year?

[jigglywiggly]

That number is like 16 million +

No, it's obvious that the figures are how many people have earned each of the trophies. Which means the Easy figure is the closest estimation of the total, because every one higher than that also gets the Easy one.

16 million out of 17 million having seen the thing through to the end is an incredibly improbable scenario.

[JaseC]

The press release itself says sold as well.

Quasi mystery solved! Google let me down; I couldn't find it.

[Endo Punk]

Nope, i find it better actually. To each their own.

I don't like how they changed Chloe and Elena's character model. They were so sexy in UC2.

[90sRobots]

If this game bores you that much, you might as well quit gaming while you're at it.

I actually stopped playing a third of the way in to the game. Same with Gears of War 3. Too much innovation.

[Lagspike_exe]

I can't wait to see what are they going to do with next gen hardware. The games are great, but the franchise is losing a little bit of its visual prestige due to old hardware. PS4 Uncharteds will look ridiculous.

[JB1981]

wait a minute, do people who bought the game at release actually buy the GOTY editions as well?

[Drencrom]

Move support confirmed, paging TTP.

I would since i love the series and wont mind buying it twice :P,

Will sell my previous copy obviously :P

[DerZuhälter]

Fixed for accuracy.

But did it score 10 out of 10's?

Just critically acclaimed.

your avatar is of Leon from Curb pretending to be someone he isn't.

i think you're trolling.

yup.

[gogogow]

It's obviously better than Batman, but which cover isn't? But still, it's quite a lazy boxart re-using the first Uncharted 3 artwork ever. And are we sure, they won't put some "including $30 worth of extra content" on the box?

[krae_man]

Did anyone even give Uncharted 3 GOTY? The game is nowhere near the same level as Uncharted 2. Naughty Dog overextended themselves making two games at once and Uncharted 3 noticeably suffered as a result.

[Ravage]

I don't like how they changed Chloe and Elena's character model. They were so sexy in UC2.

I have to agree with that, Elena looks so much better in UC2. But honestly, i prefer the story and pacing of UC3 to UC2.

[Pranay_]

Did anyone even give Uncharted 3 GOTY?

Few sites did.

[Patapwn]

Doesn't it actually have to be game of the year?

Who will we have determine this?

[OldJadedGamer]

For all those who were on the fence and still are, UC3 is not as good as UC2.

The word of mouth like this is what made me think it was ok to wait on playing it.

[90sRobots]

Yes that must be it! I am the first person to feel this way about Uncharted 3.

UC1 was okay, gave up towards the end due to derp.
UC2 was INCREDIBLE, one of my favoritest games ever.
UC3 was just more of the same. The story did nothing to engage me from the start like 2 did. The gameplay felt stale.

[Skiesofwonder]

Nope, i find it better actually. To each their own.

Golden Abyss is better then 3. Just sayin.

Edit: Golden Abyss is awesome btw, so that Isn't a slight against 3. I just find it to be the weakest in the series (yes, even below 1).

[Madridy]

Fixed for accuracy.

You'd do well at Capcpom.


:P

[strafer]

Yummy.

Chloe's VA.

[Haunted]

Rocksteady embarrassed. (Well, still 7 logos, but you know).

I don't understand these game of the year editions. Doesn't it actually have to be game of the year?

Nope.

Not a copyrighted term so anyone can use it on their cover.

[Metalmurphy]

I'm shocked!


That more people play on Easy then normal...




Also, at the 17 Million. That's like 5M per game since there's no way Golden Abyss did more then 2 million already.

most likely this ^

Uncharted 3 was amazing. It was a great blend of Uncharted 1 and 2.

[Messofanego]

Well, they are not going to put "8/10 - Eurogamer" in the cover now, are they?

Modern Games Journalism: The Movie

[Endo Punk]

OMG Dat Claudia Black!

[jett]

Uncharted 3 was amazing. It was a great blend of Uncharted 1 and 2.

How is it a blend of UC1 and UC2? It isn't anything like either. Uncharted 3 ramps up the number of cut-scenes and pseudo-interactive set-pieces, and lowers the number of actual shootouts and gameplay content. They bought too much into the "uncharted 2 is just like a blockbuster movie!" hype(which it it wasn't) and actually tried to make one of those.
