An argument can be made to bump Haze in favor of Duke Nukem.
PSN covers the music, movie, and game industries.
I'd like to be able to play with my friends who have the same games through Steam as I have on PSN. (Like with Portal 2). I'd hope they could do that with more games in the future.
From Sony's end, I really was suggesting that any big changes to the PSN will be driven by sales potential and linking movies/music/games together might increase their sales.
Honestly all they have to...
...and second of all? Don't leave me hanging with a part 1, but no part 2!
Free and no sub does not mean it is a good game, or that it is worth your time.
Odd score for not really reviewing the most important part of a fighting game (for the non-tournament folks).
Online fights. Lag? Netcode? Sound glitches? I've heard tales of many, many problems with everything online from matchmaking, to heavy lag, to even having sound effects glitch and not play.
Lets be honest, most people do not buy fighting games for the single player stuff. The single player and arcade components are NOT what gives a fighting ga...
I they add some functionality to make it easier to integrate with other services, like Steam. I really just wish for more flexibility/potential than any one specific wish to improve PSN.
Probably a better integration of video/TV/game services though. Last couple of months i've read a lot of articles about usage stats on 360s that say there is just as much (or maybe more depending on the source) video and TV activity as gaming on an xbox 360. If I were Sony, i'd rea...
We're allowed to have different opinions. Look, more people agree with both of us than not. Sure some of those issues can be solved by tailoring my game play and some can't.
Overall I just didn't enjoy the game very much, but you and your friends did - and that's okay - there is room in the internet for both our opinions. It's important for people to hear both the good and the bad about a game before they buy it.
It's not unheard of at all. Amazon.com took returns of Naughty bear (for the progress blocking technical glitches) Rage as well. Amazon is customer service done right. I returned Rage and they even paid for the return shipping and refunded the money, instead of giving me amazon.com credit.
They missed Megamind - about 2-4 hours.
I actually enjoyed getting the plat for Sonic Sega Genesis Collection (except for beating Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - that was frustrating). More than 10 hours, but actually fun.
No good background explanation for people new to the franchise is not fun(important in an older IP like RE). Watching yourself get killed with infinite melee combos is not fun. Having to knife someone over and over and over and over for one kill is not fun. Wonky camera angles are not fun. Brain dead co-op and enemy AI is not fun. Bullets have little stopping power.
I'm not going to continue, i'm sure everyone but Slant 6 gets the point by now.
Rough month for some popular franchises. I skipped this, NG3, and the new Silent Hill when I saw SSX on sale for $40 on amazon. Maybe I'll get this or NG3 if they drop in price soon.
Discs save me much HDD space, especially on consoles and they have some resale value.
I can usually ignore most of the internet uproar about things like this, but one comment from a friend really crystallized my worries/reservations about ME3.
"I never got chills."
He said he felt the writing didn't have the same maturity or punch as previous installments. Personally, I got chills in ME 2 when Shepard gave his big speech before fighting the human reaper. The story really got me a couple times, and him as well. But not once...
I think the disappointment is mixing with the anger and its hard to sort that out on the internet. I really enjoyed Tali's story in ME2, and chose her for my romance. I always wanted to see what she looked like, so having it be a stock image is disappointing.
Crappy writing is something to get angry about, a stock image for an cool character... not so much.
It would have been funnier if they used the "webpage not located" blonde girl. I think even more people would recognize that stock photo.
$40 is a great deal for SC5. I never played SR3 but that sounds like a decent deal there too.
I think SC5 should have been $40 on launch though. Hopefully this gets a few more people on the fence to buy and we can fill up more of the Global Colosseum lobbies other than NY and LA.
Excellent netcode and online play thus far. I've played a number of people and had only one match that was laggy. It was a 2-bar connection from Germany that popped up in a random Colosseum match. Silly German, hit up your local rooms.
Otherwise all fights from 3-5 bars have been excellent. Sure its not replacement for offline precision, but most players aren't heading to tournaments. The online warrior will enjoy SC5.
If they had a slightly larger cowl piece I could make a proper foot clan to go with Shredder.
I think the game will be less spam friendly and more tactical as time goes on. Defense usually takes a little longer to develop. I still can't get over how smooth the games are online. I know, its no substitute for local, offline play - but i'm pretty casual, and don't intend on training for tournaments.
Thought it was an odd choice to allow someone get 100% completion of trophies/achievements without even finishing the game. I never played the first Trine, but I definitely thought Trine 2 was pretty easy (and just plain pretty). I blew through it so fast and really never went back to it. Hardcore could be fun.
