Anon: Sony attacks dropped, PSN users were “butthurt”

A VG247 interview has confirmed that Anonymous has dropped action against Sony, as well as branding PSN users “selfish” and “butthurt” over their anger at the service’s recent outage.

Zir04697d ago

Thats good to hear but I don't think Anon is the problem anymore, its more that Lulzsec (of whatever they are called) who are attacking game companies who have done nothing.

Jamaicangmr4697d ago

Don't understand why you got so many disagrees 16 to 4 agrees to be exact. Did i miss something are we now majority in support of these types of hackers? you didnt say anything in defense of a particular brand or anything that usually generates automatic disagrees.

I'm confused just wish atleast one of these cowards would man up and say what they disagree with. However this is n4g and logic rarely shows its face on this site.

@ Zir0
For the record i agree.

Rettom4697d ago

I would usually man up, but I don't really disagree with anyone on a major thing, cuz I'm never given the chance ;)

But yeah, Anonymous is dead... (I hope)

sdtarm4697d ago

the problem is not any determined group, the problem are the hackers

WhittO4697d ago (Edited 4697d ago )

Attacks have been "dropped"...more like failed.

I'm sure they tried everything they could think of to hack their way in/bring servers down again, glad they are the ones walking away "butt hurt".
Looks like the money Sony spent in re-fortifying PSN has paid off in terms of increased security.

Sony seem to be having some success at already catching some hackers related to Anon too lol, only a matter of time!

(Also, why exactly wouldn't we be angry at a bunch of D*CKHEADS hacking into a system to STEAL ALL OUR INFO & CREDIT CARD DETAILS and bring down the PSN - which millions use for over 3 WEEKS!?!?)

b_one4697d ago

Mainly, Media are problem - they wont stop writing about them... im thinking, they (lulzsec) need for cash is astronomical, those phone operations, equipment, servers etc cost money... attackin CIA FBI....balls of steel strange.

Ironic that they'll be the ones who are "butthurt" once they end up in prison.

We're "butthurt" and selfish cause we wanted to play with our friends online? We're "butt hurt" cause we wanted to buy games over the network and enjoy whatever free time we have with friends and family (at least for me) who are miles away? Please, cry me a river.

For your cause, you ruin the enjoyment of millions (if it was you in the first place). What you guys did was selfish and now you're acting "butt-hurt" over it.

thereapersson4697d ago

It's just reverse-trolling / reverse-butthurt. They're projecting their frustration over the fact that life was normal and routine for millions of PSN users before all this bullsh!t started happening. The intervention of ANYONE was not only not necessary, but not warranted.

theIMP4697d ago

LOL, reverse-butthurt. Thats funny.

M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L4697d ago

Pretty much reaper. It's really pathetic how they're placing the blame on gamers. So much for fighting for the rights of gamers, lol.

rabidpancakeburglar4697d ago

Don't forget, they also said not long before PSN was hacked that they wouldn't go after PSN. The butthurtitude is completely justified.

THC CELL4697d ago

Why dont they come forward and we will show them how we really feel, and its fucking them who was butt hurt. Dont thank them for fuck all they are shit heads who should be jailed for attacking the gaming world.

LightofDarkness4697d ago

Can we all stop saying butthurt? It's asinine.

earbus4697d ago (Edited 4697d ago )

Ha ha classic,and you believe them go hackers,lol reaper reverse butt hurt lmao block and counter.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies58m ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

CrimsonWing6912h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker11h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6911h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos17h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto16h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8816h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies6h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
