Phgamer: "In Asia's gaming culture, piracy has been common place for every major game console since the NES. In the mid 90's a device called the UFO, allowed ROM games stored on floppy disks to be played on the SNES via a disk-drive like device that sat on top of the SNES. The 32-bit era saw the rise of mod-chips and insane swap-tricks to get past CD region lockouts.
Not much has changed in the generations that followed. Even today, the Xbox 360, Wii, DS and PSP have all fallen victim to heavy piracy. The advent of torrent sites and faster download speeds don't do the major players any favors either. The PS3, on the other hand, remains a different story. I have been keeping an eye on the local pirating scene, and with almost a year after the PS3's release, it appears to be the only console piracy free. On that note, I have concluded these reasons for the PS3's success in the anti-piracy war".
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
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.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
His reasons makes sense, though I don't know when he did his research since all PS3s are now $499 and below...
However he did forget number 5: There aren't any games worth ripping yet.
he missed out one big thing in terms of Blu-Ray...
Lets say the ps3 does get modded to run Burnt ISO's seriously how many people have blu-ray burners.. i understand that the ps2 and psp have HDloaders but even that seems unlikely in a product that only supports FAT32 drives(i.e 4gb file max)
The "No Games" argument is done with now, I say this looking at the 10 PS3 cases on my bookshelf and 4 PSN downloaded games and there's still a couple I want that I don't have yet. In any case it's just too damned expensive to pirate, in both time and money. The isos range from a gig, to well over 14+gb and that's compressed. When the games that start using the whole disc come out, expect those numbers to grow. Couple that with the fact that you'll have to get bdroms, and a bluray burner. Yeah not the same as doing a 360,Wii, or PS2 game.
let's go playstation!
