I know that appartements in Japan are very small (and expensive) and that you have to proof you got a parking space before buying a car.... but PS3 too big??? I just can't believe it!

(and I also don't think it's the AC-adapter why the xbox360 doesn't sell in Japan!)

I think he's trying to say to big in price because it's really not that big and can be set away pretty easy!

LSDARBY6189d ago

he develops parappa the rapper, nuff sed

kick now punch... punch, punch, kick.

Yeah and this game really helped the image of Sony at one time like Little Big Planet did at GDC! How can you discredit a developer that pretty much helped make PS brand a household name? Maybe he is right or maybe he's wrong but who really know's how the Japanese think when it comes to buying consoles!

socomnick6189d ago

Why does everyone always mention little big planet as the next big thing. Am I the only one that sees it for what it is a side scroller with goofy characters this game looks weak I don't care if you can make your own levels it still looks retarded I cant imagine anyone over 15 playing that..

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.

Profchaos2h 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

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?

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

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis18h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 13h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
