Uncharted 3 beta comes to an end. Interestiing Beta stats revealed.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"][QUOTE="Blaze-Agent"]

Opinions Opninions. Thats why uncharted smokes alot of games when it came down to game of the year awards. Gears 1 and 2 sold 5 million copies as of the last update. Uncharted 1 sold 3.5 million and counting while Uncharted 2 as crossed the 4 million mark and counting. people act as if gears does halo numbers or something. it does not.

who cares? its won more GOTY awards than the Gears of war series. How do you spin the amount of years worth of play for both games? Gears 3 beta has 249 years, while unchated 3 beta as 362 years worth of play. Gears 3 beta lasted a month, UC3 beta lasted 17 days. How do you spin these figures. tke it for what it is and move on.

I dont think your point is valid period. Who cares how long the matches take? we are talking about overall time spent playing the game. Uncharted had way more. This just shows that more peopleenjoyed playing the game more than gears. Does this automatically mean its better? (no, thats all subjective).i doubt 1.5 million people played the game on day one so that argument is quite invalid.

i missed it, i was visiting family :( :P

munchlax99

Yeah, I missed about a week of it due to the same reason.

I got to level 20, and my general opinion is I don't like the MP gameplay as much as the gameplay in U2's MP component.

It's slowed down, and the aiming is ridicilously slow, making close combat situations very annoying to deal with.

The climbing mechanics don't feel very accurate, like the directions are too angular for the platforming to really flow. I don't know if that will make sense to anyone or not.

Other than those things, everything else was good to great, but those two gripes are basically most of the gameplay, and they are what matters most.

Longer matches, more kills to win matches, two matches in one(airstrip) and all 1.5 million players being able to play day one.MFDOOM1983

I still does not make a difference. This just shows me that more matches were played on the Uc3 beta than Gears 3 beta despite having 28 days to do so.

was gonna say tyhe same thing. you just said it better

One of the best beta experiences I've come across in recent years.

Okay beta, campaign is where it's at for me.

While I agree with you, your numbers are off. Gears 1 and 2 sold 6 million, and Uncharted 2 sold 4.7 million. :o teh difference! :roll:. Like you said, I have no idea where the lemming arrogance comes from reguarding Gears sales. They act like this game does Halo numbers, or like they are expecting Black Ops numbers from Gears 3. If the game does outsell it, it will be by 1 million TOPS.

And since lemmings are comming up with every excuse in the world to justify these numbers, let me do the same. Gears 1 and 2 were BOTH pretty much the biggest games of each of their respective holidays. Meaning they had basically NO relevant competition. No Halo to compete with. No Super Mario. No Metal Gear Solid 4. No Call of Duty (Gears 2 had COD:WaW but it was no where near as relevant as it is now with MW2 and Blops.). Gears 1 and 2 basically won the holidays by default. Not to mention it was the first high profile AAA release for the 360.

Now fast foreward to Uncharted. Uncharted 1 launched in the same quarter as Halo 3 AND Super Mario Galaxy, and Assassins Creed.

Uncharted 2 launched in the same quarter as the beast known as Modern Warfare 2 (gears has NEVER faced a giant that big before), Assassins Creed 2, Halo: ODST.

[QUOTE="tormentos"][QUOTE="BloodyFalcon007"]Did you not see this post?"In the Gears of War 3, There will be three game modes that is expected to launch, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Capture the Leader. Four new Maps will be first released in the Gears of War 3 BloodyFalcon007

I'm glad you completely ignore what was stated by Microsoft in that Gears 3 was a closed beta. No matter how you try and justify things it was closed.

Who cares? 1.3 million players is 1.3 million players reguardless. whether its closed or not is irrelevant. More time was spent per person playing Uncharted 3's beta, despite gears 3 players having more incentive to play it because they actively went out and payed for it. Period.

*Waits for you to repeat the same thing again like a broken record but not really make an arguement*

I only got to Level 7. Was too busy to play as much as others. Amazing game though. Every bit as good as the last two and far better.

Can i have the statistic for

LOL! im joking ^ i had trouble with it but after their patch up, it was very good. I enjoyed it.!

Damit I missed it.

Oh well, didn't seem like I missed that much. The Gears 3 beta looked way more fun imo

[QUOTE="BloodyFalcon007"]

[QUOTE="tormentos"] They call it that way is not close in any way,if it was close how could any one enter with just a pre-order of gears.? But i am glad that you focus just on that,and completely ignore the fact that with just 240,000 more players UC3 spanked Gears 3 stats,even that it was open 11 days less,spin it in every way you like. Going by % Uncharted 3 was averagely more played by every single player than Gears 3,and in 11 days less to make the insult worst,the close beta excuse justify the 1.29 million players,but not the low stats.StrongDeadlift

I'm giving you "REASONS" as to why the Uncharted 3 beta surpassed the Gears 3 beta. If the Gears 3 beta had been open we wouldn't have had this conversation.

Instead. You'd probably be praising UC3's graphics for the millionth time or something. It will be interesting to see what happens when the games launch what will be said then. Oh I can see it now.

"Well the only reason Gears 3 had more played time was because lemmings had nothing to play all year!" :lol:

I snatched up both because they were free (last week of the beta, someone gave me a Gears 3 code thanks to the share the beta phase Epic did) and didn't play much of either :P.

I'm just not a big fan of either Uncharted or Gears.

catfishmoon23

And that's why I said the UC3 Beta was a litterally crack in video game form. That thing was adddicting and ridiculous fun. Most fun third person multiplayer shooter I have ever played. I think that Starhawk could take that title since the gameplay in that game looks to be brilliant, but for now it's all UC3.

I do love Gears, but in comparison to Uncharted 3's multiplayer it seems too limited and one dimension. It's all about run, take cover, stop and shoot. There are tons of great gameplay mehanics and weapons you can use, but there are so many things you can't do that are in Uncharted 3. The kills are awesome in Gears, but I will get bored of constant gore. It doesn't make it THAT fun for a third person shooter, I'm sorry. This works more for games like God of War. I've playeds hour and hours of Left 4 Dead and eventually the gore lost it's effect on me...

It was good. I don't see myself playing the MP for a long time though. :P

Adventure mode or whatever was fun though. I can't wait to try that out more.

Are lemmings here really getting offended by UC3 stats? Oh dear :lol:

On topic: The beta was amazing, but nothing beats being a COD4 beta tester :P

good beta? yea

the greatest ever?idk cod4 had a fun beta(i mean the REAL cod4 back in 2007 :p)

but it was addictive, tho i feel that it has been dumbed down compared to UC2 MP....even with more features

Why do people care so much about having better beta stats?, and what kind've victory can be claimed with these better stats?. And even then, is the userbase with the bigger beta playtime starved for a good MP shooter that they'd flock to UC3?.

I tried it out myself and it was pretty good, but nothing special, then again i'm not really into MP shooters.

So you completely avoid every question but one. As for the one you didnt avoid, you're very obviously a PS3 fan and you very clearly have a dislike for the 360 so because that question was directed at you, i asked a PS3 centric question.

Anyway, where's the victory in having slightly better beta stats?

Yes it's should be common knowledge by now that PS3 exclusives always have huge online communities that last for weeks.

It's not surprising at all that the Uncharted 3 Beta had better stats than the Gears of War 3 beta.

People had to Pre-order Gears of War 3 to get the beta..

Gow3 had the better beta. And in the end, it will be the better game over all.

Lol, you assume im a PS3 fanboy because I pointed out FACTS that favor PS3 over 360? Why wasnt I a PS3 fanboy when I bashed Uncharted 3's visuals? Oh, wait, you didnt care then, because I made your system look good :roll:.

You are not giving me "reasons" you are giving damage control. The whole "open beta" arguement is irrelevant. Uncharted players spent more time PER PLAYER playing the Uncharted 3 beta. That is not argueable. If you disagree, then please explain to me the difference that Gears 3's beta being open would have on total time spent PER PLAYER. If anything, Gears 3 players had more incentive to keep playing it since they PAYED to play it, they would get the most out of it. 1.3 million players were in the gears 3 beta. that is STILL 1.3 million players. Open beta or closed beta has NOTHING to do with how much time those 1.3 million people spend PER PERSON playing the game.

You are not saying anything but repeating your damage control like a broken record.

*waits for you to cry "its an open beta!!!" again*

Don't be mad that one was and OPEN BETA and one was a CLOSED BETA, which could have a huge impact on total number of players participating. I wouldn't want it to bother you if I mention that one was and OPEN BETA and one was a CLOSED BETA.

So what does that have to do with anything? Saying Uncharted 3 players spent more time playing the beta than Gears beta? Are you actually trying to say that Gears of War players have more of a life and do other things than playing a single game over and over and over again?

So you completely avoid every question but one.
