Apparently the person claiming all this is currently on the site chatting...

honestpizza4752d ago

I wouldn't doubt it. I'd be afraid of Sony's new terms of use policy as well.

ares21al4752d ago

This is interesting I wonder if it will be confirmed by Sony?

Eades4752d ago

It might actually be something Sony WILL confirm... better for people to blame a hosting company than Sony themselves?

ophidian4752d ago

Don't think so. They would want the problem to be seen big so that it would be a good excuse for a long down time. Consider people asking "what? we weren't able to play because one of world's biggest electronics companies had a hosting issue???"

TheCrazyMerc4752d ago

Damn, Feel sorry for the JP community having to wait so long...

Well, time to play PS3 online ;D

frozzenfire4752d ago

HAHAHA love rubbing it in their face huh... that is messed up lol

Dart894752d ago

Wtf i have a friend that lives in japan and she plays regularly.

Japan takes care of its own. I'm pretty sure Sony will save the best make up presents for Japan. That is the usual way it goes.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5095d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5095d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5095d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495095d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5095d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5095d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
