uncharted 3 is a glitchy disaster :|

daffy

What is this shit ?! I was all excited to play and during rough seas chapter things went haywire! I couldn't jump ships and the audio cut out, no more Drake QUIPS! I got through it, but then in Cruisin for a Bruisin it completely through its hands up at me! After a sea of enemies swarmed me, I went to slide open the big red door and guess what awaited me. Not a room.. But a DEAD SEA of nothingness! Why the hell Naughty Dogs ?!

What a let down, too many enemies but I was enjoying the story. I can't even download the patches from my ps3 if they exist because my internet provider is a slut.. This is truly unnacceptable. They really shit the bed on this one. :/

Anyone else having to go through this malarkey?
 
I never had any issues in the SP, but MP froze on me like 5-6 times in about 100 hours.

So...yes....?
 
Terrible game and an absolute bore to play through. People only.gave.it high scores because it was "cinematic" and has nice gfx. Golden abyss is so much better and a lot more fun.

I found Uncharted 3 to be far less polished than Uncharted 2. Some of the combat sections are so oddly designed and filled with magic spawn points. Such a weird contrast from Uncharted 2.
 
No bugs for me from start to finish.

Are you on a 60gig PS3? I heard games have been having problems with them lately, and I think U3 is one of them.
 
I never had a problem. I noticed a couple of points where the framerate dropped a little but that was it. Coming off of Dark Souls that little bit of a drop wasn't going to bother me at all.

Sorry to hear about your issues.

Someone call Devo.
 
My audio cut in and out as well, really pissed me off and never found a solution to fix it. I will never know how good the soundtrack is compared to uncharted 2.

O yea my CS would also freeze and I had to skip them and rewatch them in cinema mode, game was mad buggy compared to uncharted 2.
 
Yeah, I forgot, I did two runs as well. No issues.

But I do remember hearing that some older ps3 were having problems with this game.

i think your ps3 didn't load the assets ( or fast enough ) you'd better watch out for your blu ray player... ( the whole game is streamed from the disc even if most data go through a cache on the drive ).

I've played this game 4 times and ONCE on the ship i got a audio lag of 1 sec...( the rest was bug free )
 
Uncharted 3 is the only game of the three that didnt give me a single problem. The first game always freezes on me in chapter 17 and the second always freezes at the end of chapter 25. Every playthrough.
 
No glitches like that at all on my play through. Only some slowdowns and some minor glitches.

Weird.

Uncharted 2 was more polished overall though.
 
Silky smooth for me through out the whole play through.Except for the part where you have to swing from something and you have to build up momentum before you release to clear the gap.I am not even lying when I say that part took me an hour to figure out the controls to do that.I must be the only retard that got stuck on those parts.I just couldn't figure out how to swing back and forth. im still not 100 percent sure how.
 
the initial release was buggy, and was missing some features that the old games had, like enemy reaction animations.

you'd be blasting a guy with a shotgun while he's running at you, no dice.

good thing they fixed it.
 
Thats interesting, I guess maybe I have a bad copy? I don't know how that happens..

So is there any way to download the patches from a site or something?
 
I had a far less smoother experience than 2, but nothing of that magnitude (i had to restart the ps3 3 times due to freezes, though) sorry to hear that bro. :(
 
I ran into a ton of glitches in Uncharted 2 and 3. Most of them involved Drake falling through geometry or a companion character getting stuck/falling through geometry. Nothing worse than a game over that's not your fault.
 
I beat this game like 7+ times, platinum'd 3 times. I don't remember running into any glitches.

The multiplayer matchmaking system on the other hand is a disaster.
 
Other than a scripting issue in the night castle level, where they wouldn't blow up the door because I didn't run through the level in the specific way they designed, I didn't have any issues with major bugs.
 
Don't move the camera at the start of Chapter 10, or it will lockup and I've had the characters flicker in a couple of cut scenes.
 
a bad copy?! LOL. Those blu rays are hard to program for

thats the ol' gamestop motto

if you patch it, a lot of the issues you are seeing will be fixed. a lot of people on here don't notice bugs, or even frame tearing for that matter...
 
Sorry to hear about this bug! As some people have noted, it seems like low frequency problem but that doesn't mean it can't be addressed. We just have to be able to reproduce it on our end.

I'm going to PM you for some more information and a couple of potential work arounds. Sorry again about this problem.

EDIT: Oops you don't accept PMs. Well feel free to PM me with any information you have that could help us find a repro case. System type, firmware and region also help. Thanks!

It's kinda hard to miss a whole room missing. And there is such a thing as a faulty disc, or PS3.
 
I had 1 glitch in Syria. It didn't trigger a cutscene, so I couldn't progress. Had to replay like a 5 minutes sequence because of it. Besides that no problems for me.

Yea I think my friend gets that in UC2 but only in MP, not sure if there was a fix, but he would drop through the floor and he'd appear in the sky and continue to drop infinitely in a loop, you can hear the character screaming whenever he passes by.

It's hilarious... but we also can't move on and could only laugh at him since he won't die :(
 
Yeah yeah I know, but it's pretty rare

a copy either works or it doesn't. I was more trying to explain the "I didn't have bad framerate, maybe it's your system/copy" which is the MOST retarded argument any gamer can make.

Its not just your copy, I traded my copy for a fresh one and still end up with CS freezing & audio skips.
 
I found it to be a broken glitchy mess as well. In the shipyard I jumped from one ledge to the next and for some reason Nate didn't grab the ledge like he was supposed to. This caused the game to freak the fuck out because Nate was supposed to automatically grab the ledge and it didn't know what to do. It ended up just warping me to the ledge at the next checkpoint about 5 ledges down.

At the end of the game during the escape sequence the scripting didn't load at all. I was jumping from platform to platform with nothing happening until I fell through one and died. Then when the game reloaded, the sand started moving the platforms around and having them fall into each other like it should.

I had a hard freeze as well. Naughty Dog overextended themselves making two games at once.
