Way of the Nerd: Sony's PlayStation Network Back Up, But Now What?

"The infamous hack of Sony’s PlayStation Network has become a very popular issue in the gaming world, not only because gamers weren’t able to virtually kill each other through the online portion of their games, and not only because people who bought games that were launched with during this time weren’t able to max out their potential due to the downtime (such as games like Portal 2, Mortal Kombat, and Socom 4), but mainly because the personal information of more than 77 million users was compromised.

The PlayStation Network was down for 25 days; that’s just about a month of no online gaming or any internet-based services on the PS3 for that matter (no online gameplay and no Netflix make Johnny a very, very bored boy). "

Going straight back to what I always do......Xbox Live.

Ranshak5155d ago (Edited 5155d ago )

Dont use PSN any more anyways, Steam ftw. Currently playing Witcher 2 simply amazing.

Kamikaze1355155d ago

Amazing doesn't describe it. It's definitely one of the greatest RPG games of all time. This coming from somebody who didn't really enjoy the first Witcher game.

KeiserSosay47885155d ago

Idk why you got disagrees...because steam DESTROYS the console online services. Anyway, witcher 2 def rocks. I've put socom down to play that and man....its good.

Shanks5155d ago (Edited 5155d ago )

Your comment before that:

"maybe they actually have something to show this year, hopefully, my 360 is wasting away in the corner"

pathetic troll.

achmetha5155d ago

Didn't waste my time reading the article when the failure of a journalist says in the summary that you couldn't access Netflix. I was watching Top Gear on Netflix the ENTIRE time the PSN was down. Keep stirring that pot buddy.

What a dumb article. What "now what"?? Now its back online, go play online games. Did the world change suddenly? It didn't affect me at all since I was busy with my great PS3 singleplayer games.

Stop writing these sh!tty articles you "journalists" from no-name websites.

Apocwhen5155d ago

But what now?
On with life.

Gam3s4lif35155d ago

Wow... people dont get what your saying... :/ :s

MasterCornholio5155d ago

Just leave it alone already we dont need more articles of this type anymore there have been tons of them. I am getting sick of all this. What i would like to see is an article about when the playstation store will come back.

Orion5155d ago

Me too.

I'm sure it will come this Tue/Wed. Why? Because they will be able to follow the same update calendar as where they left it. Plus renews first week of the month, and the day PSN went off they were in the last update of the month. So if they put the Store on this week, they will just continue with the Plus calendar as before, and they will have no problems regarding overlapping months and so on.

MasterCornholio5155d ago

I really hope its true. Cause i am dying to take advantage of the welcome back package. Dead Nation and Wipeout for me.

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 Souls5501d ago

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

Godmars2905501d ago (Edited 5501d 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.

ClownBelt5501d 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-Pyro5501d 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.

Anon73495501d 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.

RedDevils5501d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5501d ago

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