Hours of non stop "spinning ring" fun.

Could not even get to see the opening seen. I just got the spinning ring that would never go away.

(Fat 80GB: uninstalled and reinstalled game data; tried playing multiple times with and without the updates; rebuilt PS3 database; downloaded and tried to run from a save file that was about half way through the game; cleaned the disc and my BD drive. Nothing worked.)

I can't rate this game because I couldn't play it! I thought it was the ps3, then I thought the disc was screwed up until I did a quick search on the Internet and realized 60% of the people were having the same problem as me. The game would never load to the main screen, it would only show as they call it on Uncharted 3 " The spinning ring of death"... If your able to get past that like I was not able to, you could make it to the opening movie clip which would then run at 3-4fps and then shuts off! Apparently Naughty Dawg will not do anything about it and all they have said is to send your consol to them and they will run some tests on it which is a joke! Guess I will wait for the digital download I suppose! Was really looking forward to playing it!

Beware the spinning ring of death

posted by Cerwyn (EAST LIVERPOOL, OH) Jan 1, 2013

I got this game and barely got past the first chapter and I am getting "the spinning ring of death" basically its the screen where the game loads but it glitches and stays like that for literally hours. I looked it up and there is nothing that can fix it. Sending the game back today. what a bummer bc the game was really cool before that. Very tomb raider.

Does Not Work

PS3 - 80GB Fat Version (4 USB ports)

I was very excited to receive UC3 as UC2 was one of my favorite games. However, when I got it and tried to play (after 2 patch updates), the game does not work. My first issue was the very first gameplay portion, when as soon as the on-screen prompts came up, I lost my audio. Then, once the official Chapter 1 began, I beat up all the guys only to find myself walking around aimlessly because the kitchen/bathroom scene did not unlock. I was forced to reset and delete my game data several times. I was not even able to restart from checkpoint because all of my options in the pause screen said, "Autosaving, Please wait." After several attempts, all of a sudden everything worked!! I progressed through the game until I learned my first stealth attack, which it then froze. I called it a night and attempted in the morning. Now when I opened the game, I would get through the developer screens and then I would hear the main screen's music but with a black screen. I resetted my PS3 and rebuilt the data via safe mode, and still nothing. I then opened the game with a different username on my PS3 and I got the main screen video and audio! I tried again on my name, still black. I was forced to delete my saved data, and then it worked. I tried starting a new game (for the 25th or so time now) and I got the after-brawl being stuck again after two attempts of watching a spinning ring for 10 minutes. Naughty Dog needs to get their act together and get these problems fixed. I am glad I rented and did not buy. Going back immediately!

Unplayable

This game locks up too frequently to be playable. After playing for 6 to 15 minuets the game freezes and I have to reset my PS3. A quick search turns up numerous players with the same issue.

Awesome 5 minutes, then disaster.

I played this game for 5 minutes. The first few minutes of this game was phenomenal! I was so stoked to continue playing the game for an hour or so, until after five minutes. FIVE MINUTES. I reach a loading screen that won't resume me into the game, restarted my PS3 7 times, and still would not let me past that loading screen. I searched up some solutions to why this was happening and turns out many other players were having the SAME problem. WHAT A SHAME. I can't even play it and now have to return with barely even getting a peek of it. Nice one Naughty Dog, you really screwed the pooch, pun intended...

unplayable - spinning ring

posted by FlimFlam (BIRMINGHAM, AL) Jun 25, 2012

Google spinning ring and you will see what I mean. Many people have this issue. The game won't even load. Even after updating my PS3 and the game data to latest versions. I loved the first 2 games but this one I can't even play because Naughty Dog can't be bothered to fix this issue that people are having. So 1 out 10 since that is the lowest I could give it. Glad it was a rental - bad that it's going to take a week plus to get another game. At least I didn't purchase it (I own the previous 2) like I had planned.

I could only stomach 5 levels. The lame climbing and even lamer gun play from the previous installments returns. Maybe I'll try the series again on the PS4 since it does have high production values, but is zero fun.

Game is full of bugs

posted by froggiewun (PORTSMOUTH, OH) May 31, 2012

Member since Mar 2005

Even with all of the patches this game is full of bugs. At times during play the game does not load parts of the level that result in you "falling through the floor, or the wall, of a stairwell, or the screen will just turn blank and you die. Once the game tries to reload your last save the load screen never goes away and to get of of the game you must shutdown the system. When it does work this game is fairly fun however, the bugs happen constantly making the game completely suck.

Tell me that I got a gag disc. When it loads it takes FOREVER! But that is OK because it normally doesn't load! The speech is delayed if there at all. Characters appear out of thin...you know what...This game isn't even worth it. !$%& this game. Save yourself the time and effort.

Owners of PS3 classic beware. If you have time to play this game from start to finish without saving or leave your PS3 running have at it. Otherwise this is a pass, until there is an update that does not kill your saves anyway. The game was great but with no way to use a save file I just cant starting over after deleting the save file each time you want to play. I understand the cost of making things backwards compatible but it says PS3, not PS3 slim only. Loved U1, U2, but cant tell if I even like U3. Does not bode well for the future.

I have a first generation PS3, and this game didn't even work on my system. After researching this on the web, I found that MANY users have the exact same problem, and have had this game even break their Playstation. Gamefly really needs to post a warning about this game. Way to Beta test Sony!!

Did not even try to finish this game...too much bad language.
Do these studios know that you don't have to have all that bad language in a game to make it good? Do you know anyone who just finished playing a great game and said "What a great game, I just wished they would have took God's name in vain a few times too complete the experience."
If you just have to do this junk in a game then it should be rated Mature!!!

This is basically a rail-shooter

It's pretty, it's a great ride, it's 'a movie experience.'

In other words this is a rail shooter. I waited for this game for a long time, and once I got it, finished it within a single day, quite annoyed.

The worst part is there is no replay value. There are no puzzles (unless you're 3-5) and the 'combat' system is repetitive, clumsy, and contrived. Yeay it's another cover shooter with sloppy aim and no zoom function.

Personally I blame MW:Black Ops for spreading the notion (as evident by its mass sales) that a rail-shooter where the player basically just has to push a button or two is somehow a better gaming experience than an actual game where you have to do things (e.g. Portal 2, Assassins Creed, etc.)

...I just feel brokenhearted by Uncharted 3. It could have, should have, but ultimately didn't.

As a side note, some portions of the game make it very evident that it was developed in parallel chunks because the mood and content of some cut scenes don't actually follow from one another. But that's giving the game a movie critique.

Overrated & Overhyped

posted by SupaFuegoTigre Nov 1, 2011

9 out of 99 gamers (9%) found this review helpful

Uncharted 3, were do I begin to start on this overrated game. In fact, the whole series is overrated. It is nothing but GREAT graphics, eye candy pretty much. The camera angles are just as bad as the previous two if not worse, the campaign seem to just drag on for hours and it is not even entertaining, and you have to pay for online?!?! I mean if you know every Playstation 3 owner is gonna waste 60 dollars on the game, then why would you have those who rented it, from I don't know say GameFly, pay for online? What are they EA? The story is the basic repetative story as the previous two games, climb, climb, cutscene, cover, shoot a guy, climb, climb, ect. ect. It is as if they copied and pasted all the Tomb Raider games and just changed the main character's hair (He wears a bandana/scarf, need I say more?). No one plays Uncharted for the multiplayer and it shows. Online is nothing but power weapons, laggy/buggy servers, and little kids who like explosions every 3 seconds and think it's Battlefield 3 so they sit in one spot and "defend", even though there is nothing to defend. But I will say this, It has AMAZING graphics. Crysis 2 is nothing compared to this game. Great graphics is also one of its flaws. Great graphics distract the players from bad gameplay, storyline, and bugs. It tends to studder a bit so i've heard but I can't confirm this. I hope I, SupaFuegoTigre, has helped shed some light and hopefully made you think twice about this overrated, overhyped, and down-right terrible game. I contemplated selling my Playstation 3 after playing this game. Good Day!
