Hardships From PlayStation History – Part 1

Have you ever wondered what it was like to live in the olden days? PLAY don't just mean, like, last year. They mean long, long ago, in an ancient era before the PlayStation 3 was out – not even in Japan! Back in those days many of the comforts and conveniences that you and PLAY take for granted just didn't exist, and daily gaming life was filled with hardship. PLAY has teamed up with a group of historians, university professors and men with beards to bring you this three-part account of what life might have been like for a PlayStation gamer in the year 1995, which was in the last century, which means it was a hundred years ago. Read it and think about how lucky you really are.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

How was that Sonys fault?

It's crazy that you keep making accounts just to be troll. You went through the trouble of making it just to try to stir the fanboy pot. 🤡 activities.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
