US PlayStation Store Update 8/21/12

Grace Chen writes: This week is jam-packed with games of all shapes and sizes, so you’re bound to find something you like. If you’re a Transformers fan you’ll be happy to see that the latest retail offering, Fall of Cybertron, is available the day it launches – in other words, right now. If you’re wavering on whether or not to get it, the fact that you can make your own Transformer might help you decide. Seriously.

WOTS4?

Hot damn! And here I thought I'd be using that money I put in my PSN account last weekend would go toward the R&C collection.

EDIT: and, of course, Legasista looks pretty damn interesting. A great update for the PS3. Shame Sony forgot about their newest handheld. Again.

[thorstein]

Not to mention Dust 514 Beta (for Plus)! New LBP2 Autumn pack is FREE!!! (Love the free) Free Spec Ops the Line add on.. This is one great update!

[longcat]

Sonic Adventure for $5 - more and more of my money going to sega these days

[doogiebear]

Sega's current games suck lately. Glad theor bronging jet set radio and nights to HD this fall though. Still hoping for a valkyria chronicles collection to be announced.

[ddurand1]

got counterstrike downloading....we got any reviews yet?

doesnt matteranyway i love CS.

[Ron_Danger]

I haven't seen any reviews but I'm assuming that "younger" review sites are gonna complain about the lack of iron sight aiming.

From what I've seen from the latest videos, it's classic CS with a fresh coat of paint which I think is a good thing for this series. Plus the PS3 version has Move and keyboard & mouse support!

[ddurand1]

i agree i think theyll knock it down for that.

yeah im buying a mouse and keyboard for it if I dont like the dualshock controls.

Im really excited. Ive been playing since 1.6 on PC. even had the original on the original xbox.

[Soldierone]

It won't be just that. Remember Counter Strike is going to be way too hard for the COD scrubs, so expect a lot of "this game sucks!" comments from them getting owned.

[brettyd]

This is what Zipper should of done with SOCOM instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Maybe they would still have jobs. Nice job VALVE!

[killerhog]

How you not gonna have iron sight aiming though? Is that some how suppose to be realistic? Cause I saw a video of someone gunning people down with a pistol regardless of the distance. In one case he was more than 10-15 meters and gunned down someone shooting at him with an assault rifle? It's just pretty much at times blind hip firing as well. If you ask me its just as mindless as cod. Which I can also bet a lot of people will be using modded controllers for the aim and fire assist.

I mean, I don't care either way, as I can kill anyone with hip fire or aiming or a pistol or assault rifle but it baffles me that it won't have iron sight aiming?

[snipes101]

Could someone please explain to me how a lack of iron sights somehow makes a shooter better? Anyone??

[Gazondaily]

Killerhog

Lol have you ever played counter strike?! Lack of iron sights baffles you?

Oh my days.....I'm sorry but I can't even begin to explain what's wrong with your post mate. Needless to say...

All in jest btw ;)

I wanna see what its like to play on the PS3 with a keyboard and mouse.

[doogiebear]

Im from a generation that enjoyed games before there was ironsight, regenerative health, aim assist and sprinting. I frequently played the hardest shooters like Rainbow Six vegas series, Metal Gear Online, etc.

However, I must still say that the lack of ironaoghts is quite jarring in this game. It really hasnt aged well. In order to still appreciate this old aiming mechanic of using hip fire only, I'd have to stop playing other gamez like BF3 and forget entirely my history with other games that utilize ironsights. Ironights =/= COD or ease of play (especially when there is no aim assist), it simply means another layer of aim. However, old CS vets wanted CS on ps3 to stay the same for some reason. I can't underatand that, because if they were such big fans of CS even to this day, then they'd be playing it FREE on steam/pc instead of playing an un-evolved duplicate on ps3 (since the pc community is larger, FREE, and works on just about any pc: and has always been that way).

However, let us reason:

I dont think ironsights makes FPS games any easier, its just an added layer to the aim mechanics. Imagine playing battlefield 3 and only using hipfire (no matter how far the enemy was) and tell me that that wouldnt be redundant....

I tried the trial version of CS last night (ps plus full game trial) and really tried to love it, but it really is quite dated (whether the lack of ironsights bothers you or not). It really wasnt all that fun anymore.

Im looking forward to the new Rainbow Six for my hardcore old-schoolish fps tactical gaming fix

[ConstipatedGorilla]

What does it matter? You already bought it. Why not give us your review?

[ddurand1]

1. Because I havent finished the download.

2. Im working tonight and wont be able to play the game.

3. Why shouldnt i be interested to see what other gamers think about a game Im purchasing?

[MostJadedGamer]

People shouldnt give reviews until they put a lot of hours into a game.

[ConstipatedGorilla]

But you've already bought it! It doesn't matter if it got a 1 or a 10. Too late for you! No damn logic on this site anymore.

[GamerSciz]

@ddurand1

I think @constipatedgorilla is saying since you bought it via PSN that there is no refund so regardless of good score or not you are stuck with it. While he has a valid point I feel that he went about it in a irrational way that was unnecessary. I for one have it for PC and can say that if you enjoyed the 1.6 days then you will enjoy this. It plays nothing like CS: Source.

[ddurand1]

i dont give two shits about the score.

i just wanted something to read at work while i looked forward to playing the game when i got home.

I dont understand why thats a problem with anyone. I know I cant get a refund, I dont want a refund. Had you read my post I was just curious about other gamers opinions and my download was not done yet.

its an ok experience, but its worth buying a keyboard and mouse for. the dualshock does it no justice.

[crawling182]

Having a hard time deciding between the PC version or the PS3 version. Choices...

[SCARE-KRO]

Me too... Any factors sway your mind yet? I literally have my finger on the "Add to cart" on Steam - but I can't make my mind up.... PS3 or PC

[BaconBits]

Same here. I have a nice gaming pc but I know my friends will only have it on Xbox. Plus I am still not great with the keyboard ( I still use the xbox controller for movement and the mouse for aim on BF3 PC)

[ddurand1]

you can use a mouse and keyboard on the ps3 if that makes your decisino any easier.

[crawling182]

PC version here. Turns out my friends swayed the decision.

[SCARE-KRO]

Apparently there might be a zombie mod for PC?

[mcnablejr]

Well, Cod 4 sold great, the franchise then became VERY successful, and started reproducing similar content to try and please the audience, so this must mean that anyone who plays cod is bad at shooters..... wait?

[GuyThatPlaysGames]

I have always been a CS fan and this game is just perfect!!! Of course your 12 yr old gamers are gonna be "no ADS"! This game is very fun and addicting. I love it and I don't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon. Everyone should get this game.

[logster10]

Wow! Awesome week! NHL 13, Sleeping dogs, MGS HD singled out for Vita... Not to mention Dust and CS! Yummy

[CrazyRap]

No cs go for uk yet :(

[EazyC]

Yeah! when's that out?

[Kran]

Played the PS3 version of CS:GO at Eurogamer.

I didn't enjoy it.

Played the PC version: much better.

I aint saying you guys will hate it, but it just felt very horrible on the PS3 at the time (that was 11 months ago though). Here's hoping it's been improved.

[soundslike]

11 months, for a digital only release no less, is a life time

[StayStatic]

Hope they bring the classic menu back , the radial menu annoys me no end.

Just remember , everyone runs faster with a knife.

[Rivitur]

6 years later and it still cracks me up.

[execution17]

lol wish they made a season 2 Dx

[nevin1]

Im confused here.

MGS2 HD for PS3 is $14.99 and 8.4GB file size
MGS3 HD for PS3 is $14.99 and 9.4GB file size

MGS2 HD for Vita is $19.99 and 1.6GB file size
MGS3 HD for Vita is $19.99 and 1.8GB file size

[JKelloggs]

What exactly is confusing? They are both different platforms

[imgnku]

*For those who are asking for iron sights!!

CS has always been a combination of strategy, position and most important of all, is how well you know the guns. I remember back in the old cs days i would practice how the shots are fired and where to aim to get those head shots. people have gotten sooo good that that half a second or whatever it takes you to look at iron sight is all it takes for you to get killed, no your health doesnt regenerate and you die quick. You will value your life in this game, and you will learn to play smart in this game.
