How's the multiplayer in Uncharted?

Lol.....I wouldn't know. But I know Call Of Duty 4 is a hell of a lot of fun on my Playstation 3.

By the way, How is Uncharted running on your 360 ?

You missed the point... There is basically no comparison with H3 and Uncharted. You compared a single player game, one that you would want to, at most play through a handful of times to a game that is based mostly around its online component.

I don't doubt Uncharted is good, heck its one of the games I will buy when I finally do purchase the PS3, but really they are two animals (except for the fact they are both exclusive to their platform).

PS3 & FFXIII

I am a Final Fantasy Addict.
Heavenly Sword looked good too.

Presently own XBOX, PS2

I dont care if a bunck of people purchased the WII. That is their problem. I think the time of the PS3 is coming.

I think when Final Fantasy XIII is realeased, a lot of people will purchase the PS3.

I would probably have to agree with you piasabird. I know they probably are not exact numbers. But the PS3 is doing a lot better since the price drop. On it's way to 10 million sold. Vgchartz

Based on *those* numbers. If the 360 and the PS3 were released the same time. The PS3 would be outselling the 360. Even though it would have gotten off to a slow start.

And not only Final Fantasy. But Grand Turismo 5 also.

I don't think I missed the point. Because *first and foremost* when *I* buy a game. I buy it for single player. And to *me* Uncharted would beat out Halo 3.

But now for multiplayer... I would venture to say that Call Of Duty 4 is also better than Halo 3. But it isn't about which game is better. The point is, we all get to enjoy the great games.

And like I said in two other post's in this thread...... I will eventually be getting a 360....Along with Halo 3 to experience the game for my self. But most games that interest me on the 360 can also be had on the PC.

Now I could be wrong on this point here...But my next guess is.....Super Mario Galaxy pwns all those games were discussing. :thumbsup:

From the content/quality of your discussions, I hope you're the young boy in the picture and not one who helped create him.

I am 32 years old. And either you do not know how to read, or you're just plain dumb. If you have nothing constructive to add to this thread, just stay out of it. I do not need people like you here.

Don't forget God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII Versus, Metal Gear Online, Eight Days, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, L.A. Noire, White Knight Chronicles, and LittleBigPlanet.

Ugh, too many games.

On a completely unrelated note, JPB, is that you without your shirt on on Sochl? If so you made me laugh. :)

This thread is not about the 360, yet the 360 fans cant help themselves to crash the thread, and put their 2 cents in. Stay out of it, and leave it alone. He didnt get a 360, get over it.

You can get rid of that terrible DVD player now. The output of the PS3 > than 10 of those DVD players combined.

Got that right. That thing has been sitting there for two years and hasn't even been used. And it totally sucks when I did use it. Its gone now....

Anyone try the Turok Demo yet ?

By the way. The ones I saw there said HDMI on the box. So how can I guarantee its a Falcon version ?
Then pick 'em up.

360 Falcons have a 175W power supply. Check around the UPC code, it says 175W.

It's only "LOL" funny if you are a fanboy. No one else would care enough to laugh ;)

Well I have a 360 Elite AND PS3 (60GB) so what kind of fanboy does that make me?

Oh, by the way, I'm now laughing at you for the "fanboy" comment. Nice try though, LOL.

Not voting for the 360 in any fashion gets a laugh from me. I mean, the Wii is gimmicky in my opinion, I'd never buy it and find it to be a very annoying experience to play. I do like the PS3, and some of the games it has plus the media features (blu-ray).

Regardless of whether or not you're a fanboy, you are a douchebag. "LOL, someone voted for Wii & PS3." is just a generally douchey comment.

Ok, obviously that comment really hurt you, and for that I'm sorry. I was really out of line. I didn't know making a decision between a Wii, PS3 and 360 could be such an important decision in one's life. Listen, I understand, in life, there are times when you just CAN'T afford to be wrong, and this is one of them. I can't believe I made such light of it. And on top of that, I "LOLed" at someone for choosing a Wii & PS3 over all the other options. I "LOLed" at someone for God's sake!! That was way out of line. WAY out of line. If I could take it back and make the pain just go away I would, but I can't (my edit button is broken). And that's something I'll have to live with for the rest of my life.




















j/k Man, you are one pathetic loser. I tell you what buddy, if you get out of your mom's basement more than twice a year, I guarantee you my comment won't look as "douchey" to you. Apparently, that comment meant more to you than it should have.
