Sup guys I was just wondering if anyone in Korea is playing UFC 3 online? looking for some friendly throwdown sessions :)
Also I just picked up uncharted 3 and bought an online pass so i'm looking for people to do multi or coop.

Uncharted 3 has co-op? Local or online only? I really liked the first two so local co-op would be huge.

I did get Journey last night. Pretty and very evocative game. It's short but replayable and only $15usd on the PSN.

I do believe it supports split screen co op.

I think it's funny that a lot of people are posting about other gaming systems in a PS3 topic. I actually only have a PS2 so I guess I'm guilty of it too though. I tend to be more of an rpg person myself.

I'd like a list of games that have only Korean text.

I recently slogged through Saints Row the Third with only Korean text.  After I bought it and found out, I thought "Hey, why not?  I'll learn some Korean and have some fun at the same time."  Nope, was just an exercise in frustration and FAQ look up.  I did get through it though I left a few of the more frustrating side missions.  Fing hilarious game BTW, I wish I had sought out an English edition.

I've heard Korean Assassin's Creed:  Brotherhood is also only Korean text.

Does anyone know about the Korean version of Dark Souls?  I'm interested, but worried about that 한글자막 on the back of the box...

I want Dark Souls too. It's on my list. My brothers play it a lot. It's not like I really have the time for it though. And I just got Valkeria Chronicles and Re4/Shadow of the Colossus HD. Working too much and playing too little.

I used to buy all my games locally but now use playasia. Great for guaranteeing English and using redeem codes on the US network

Playasia costs though.  I can find Korean Dark Souls used for 30'000won if I look around a bit.  I have a Korean PSN account, so redeeming codes isn't an issue.  Right now I'm working through Demon's Souls and having enough fun that I want to get Dark Souls.  I must have died a dozen times in 4-1 last night, but when I finally beat it, damn!  So gut-bustingly hard, but you feel like you've actually done something when you beat a boss.  I guess the Demon's Souls servers are shutting down May 31st for good.   :(

I bought a PS3 so I could have a decent media entertainment system for my new HDTV...turns out the PS3 is pretty shit for media.  No mkv support?  PAH!

Yeah, Netflix isn't offered in Korea yet. Though there are rumors of them expanding out here in years to come. So it won't work on your ps3 or even your computer without a proxy.

Demon's Souls was amazing. And so was the 'sequel', Dark Souls.

I've never had such fun dying so many times.

Yongin resident here. My current multi-player time is spent on Uncharted 3 and a little bit of U. Marvel vs Capcom 3 (though I'm mostly just playing God of War as I got it cheap on PSN). My tag is damo-foley. If anyone fancies some game time with these add me.

Re. Uncharted 3 multi-player codes. I had the same problem mentioned about with a Korean version of the disc and a non-Korean account. I even managed to blag pass codes from the Sony offices in my home country, and I still couldn't get online with a Korean version of the disc. I ended up just buying another copy when I was at home at Christmas. I don't regret it as the multi-player's great.


I hear Play Asia is great for getting regional versions of games.

Play asia is great for finding things but it isn't cheap like Gamestop was. Still cheaper than Gmarket and the like though.

My gf uses auction.co.kr to order me games. Sometimes I get free toys and candy with my games, it's hilarious.
