Arguably the PS3 has taken more crap this generation than any other console. Complaints of various shapes and sizes, criticisms by those who use the system and those that simply want to make their own console look better have been coming up since the big black monolith came out.
Some of these have been at least a little legitimate; lack of solid exclusives, cutting the backwards compatibility, working too hard on the home entertainment center, blah, blah, blah. Yet there is one that keeps coming up. One that keeps coming up. For the life of me, I don't understand how people could consider this a legitimate criticism.
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
In an exclusive interview with GTA BOOM, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij reveals how Rockstar North really operated and debunks one of GTA’s biggest myths.
not a big problem but then why ps3 gamers act like getting up to change a disc every 10 hours is a huge inconvenience.
I mean what do you do when you want to change games on your ps3 ???
Yeah I read the article :And I think Its more inconvenient to wait 10 minutes rather than taking 10 seconds to swap a disc every 10 hours cuz PS3 or 360 you WILL get up to change games.
What i mean is its no big problem.
A stupid PS3 criticism to me is about Killzone 2........People always talk about Killzone 2 only looks AMAZING because it took 3 1/2 years and 30 million dollars. Which is ridiculous because.....
Did you know Halo3 was in development for 3 years aswell and cost 30 million to make, plus 30 million for advertising. But you`ll rarely hear about that.
People also critize the hype behind Killzone2 and how it couldn`t live up to it, again...........do you have any idea how much hype was behind Halo3. Seriously.
It just goes to show you quick people are to criticize the PS3.
its because im black.lol
I'm not bothered by game installs, if theres a point that I need more room on my HDD, I'll delete them, simple as that or get a bigger HDD, if I feel its neccercary, (The PSN games are more likely for me to do this).
Like the guy says, its much better than installing a PC game, we need to type no codes, swap disc like I had to with Doom3 and numberous others. Not a problem.
PS3 has been plagued by many illegitimate complaints. It's all a part of the media's hatred for all things PS3 that used to exest. They seem to be coming around now however.
