I'm getting the hang of it, you certainly can't abuse pistol+punch like you could in UC2. Machine pistol is godlike though.
 
I'm back in (on?). (On PSN btw, not the game)

Now I started my Uncharted 2 disc instead of the beta by mistake. I think I should go to sleep o_O

Yep. Got a shitload of Fisticuffs medals today with that.

Arne, why is shooting people in the head so punishing? Takes as much bullets as shooting someone into the body.

Takes some of the randomness out of the game though, I always loathed random headshots in a console game because the other guy is pretty much guaranteed to not have been aiming for your head in the first place.

Wish someone would come up with a system that preserves spread and recoil, negates/heavily lowers damage of random spray headshots where the cursor isn't on the head, and still get headshots when the aiming actually is spot on (and you don't mess up your spread by spraying before your aim is right)

Like some kind of damage modifier for cursor placement layered on top of the normal hit detection.
 
BTW sniper rifles in this game are just bad, when you take aim it immediately sends you to first-person view, it's extremely disconcerting. The regular one is useless, it takes to hits to kill now, even if you shoot them in the chest. There's another special one takes you out in one hit no matters where you're hit. The one in UC2 was just finely balanced...

Was the same in UC2.

Well that's the way the sniper was before in UC2, before all this one body shot BS. So I say that's good.
 
Who needs hackers to take down PSN just out up a Uncharted Beta.

Is it just me or when you scoop is it extremely unresponsive?
 
Headshots and hits to the chest take enemies out quicker though, I imagine with the increased health headshots are more important than in UC2 now.

I know but it's annoying to be unloading a clip into someone's head when it should only take one or two shots. They should have spent time adding a headshot feature instead of all of these COD perks.

First time playing Uncharted MP? Here's a protip for you: NEVER do that. When sneaking up on someone, ALWAYS do it by blindfiring as you get closer, only after a good deal of bullets are in him do you use melee. In UC2 it only took one bullet from the pistol + one punch to kill, but it seems to take many more bullets in UC3. Melee has really been underpowered here it seems to me.

If there was a way to disable those "finishers" I would, most of the time they just leave me open for enemies to shoot me during the animation.

Unless you're going for the sneak kill medals/trophy.

Bah. It's at 42% after downloading for an hour and twenty minutes. SO SLOWWWWW!
Click to expand...

wow, i was done the DL in 30-40 minutes. I was surprised at how fast it went considering how slow PSN is.

EDIT: why does drakes head look so big on the title screen?
 
It's a shame they nerfed melee. I used it so much in U2.

Don't you all usually amuse yourselves by making funny gifs of statements like this when you're stuck waiting/venting? I expected so much by now. gaf disappoint.

I like it the way it is. If they were like in UC2, it would be overpowered IMO because you could aim and see where you were trying to shoot without zooming in. Since it's a weapon load out meaning anyone can spawn with a sniper rifle right away, it'd be too much of an advantage to anyone spawning with one. Just imagine it in Plunder. It'd be awful. In the few Plunder matches I played, people were camping with the sniper from far away. they're pretty much forced to do it because it goes into the automatic zoom. If it didn't do that, I guarantee you they'd be camping at closer spots.

Other people do that. Not me. I have no talent.

Stop trying to stall!
This is srs!
 
I just hopped on PSN and started downloading. Two hours remaining but I am not expecting for it to work properly tonight. I've been in so many betas to know how rocky things are the first couple of days. Sometimes it's for a week. I am doubting that will happen with this, but it's always possible.

Eh, I like it the way it is. Don't really want to get the jump on someone just get downed by one or two bullets to the head. I'd go play COD if I wanted that. Not saying there's anything wrong with that though.

We're too busy testing if "press the start button" in the main menu works, over and over :)
 
Arne! The connecting, it does nothing!

Nah just kidding. Of course this is expected in a beta. Glad it was revealed in the beta. The problem, I guess, is that since beta have turned into promotional buying incentives, people assume it should somewhat work, while the truth is that we get to experience what we enjoy while developers fix it, opposed to the old model of keeping it all on closed doors with paid people.

Also, i'm still disappointed, arne, that I never got the Rika/bead dude skin from the eye of Indra EU package since I bought U2 from UK... and the description didn't say anything about product codes ;(

Aside from that, keep being awesome ND.

By the way complete nitpicking. How come the run while water floods from behind scene seemed more "liquid" in the 11-1-11 captions of the initial trailer than the actual demo? Is it something to do about seawater looking less transparent? because it looked a bit too opaque, if you know what I mean. I totally love the amount of detail on uncharted series (and past works of ND), minus the way the model rigging sometimes went wrong on repeats, but that's a minor thing.

Yeah, big post. I guess it's the excitement of joining GAF
