Black Ops DLC brings PSN down

PSN was today graced by the Black Ops DLC. However, it has brought a horrible problem to the service. Users can't sign into the service. This has been going on for a matter of hours and users are commonly greeted with an 'error' message. Hopefully it will be fixed soon enough, although the demand is expectedly HUGE.

Good. Less sales they'll get.

Warprincess1165566d ago

Im seriously disappointed at the PS3 users. I thought we were smarter than this. Why are they rushing to buy a overpriced map pack.

FAGOL5566d ago

Main reason = Zombies. Yh it's overpriced but nearly everyone will split the cost and share the dlc. So it ends up being pretty cheap.

guigsy5566d ago

"I thought we were smarter than this"

Why do you know all of them? N4G doesn't represent the views/buying habits of the entire PS3 community.

-Alpha5566d ago (Edited 5566d ago )

I don't understand why you assume PS3 users are smarter when COD has been the leading FPS franchise on PS3 and when MW2 broke PSN records.

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar... Pretty sad, eh?

The "we" you refer to only covers N4G/Internet PS3 fans, who are a poor sample of the whole.

And, I'll say it for the hundredth time, it's not overpriced, it's just really expensive.

$3/map is standard price

zeeshan8105565d ago

Dude if 1 user buys it his/her friends can pay him/her a small price to have that DLC downloaded to their PS3.
3 friends can share 1 Downloaded game.

ChristianGamer5565d ago

I think its time people realised that PS3 gamers are just like all other gamers. I know a couple here like to believe they are all elite and mature and only buy distinctive games like heavy rain and such, well this simply isn't true, well at least not for the majority of them. We are all the same, what company we support does not make us any better than the other. I love you all

badz1495565d ago

even the DLC glitches the PSN! /s

Motorola5565d ago

I bought it for zombies. Only thing that keeps CoD alive

BlackHairyTongue5565d ago

If buying the map packs for a game I enjoy makes me stupid, then I don't wanna be smart!

jadenkorri5561d ago

It wasn't actually down, just extremely slow.

Plus i doubt it was because everyone was paying for them. Alot of people gameshare which involves making new accounts at the same time etc.

For example i got the map pack from a friend who got them from his friend, and a bunch of 5 other guys all paid one guy(by chipping in like 2 quid) and gameshared from him :P

They haven't earned as much as you think with these mappacks ;)

P.S the latest ps3 blackops patch has been the best so far, it's removed alot of lag issues which in term has made things like hit detection better. The matchmaking is now very speedy.

This is coming from a guy on the verge of trading black ops into gamestatiion btw.

Are people really still playing that game? I've beaten it twice, played zombies, leveled up in MP and already moved on to other games such as KilZone3 and BulletStorm.

Apocwhen5565d ago (Edited 5565d ago )

Are people still asking this silly question?

They must be still playing it if it's the only franchise game to bring the PSN store to its knees. It happened with MW2, and now again with Black Ops.

So yeah, I would say the majority of users are still playing it.

HmongAmerican5565d ago

the map pack bring a lot of player back actually myself included. KZ3 mp was alright but the long load time turn me off.

marioPSUC5566d ago

meanwhile at Activision-Cash just keeps rolling in

they havent even fixed the game and yet so many people were downloading it, it crashed PSN

xAlmostPro5565d ago

The latest patch pretty much fixed it actually.

Of course people still bought it but the guys that complained about the game being broken werew probably the hardcore gamer types who visit such sites like this, where as the casual gamers would still buy it anyway. Not only that most hardcore gamers probably gameshared, such as myself.

NotSoSilentBob5565d ago

Never had any troubles connecting to GT5 races. Tried a few KZ3 matchs a little bit more lag but not a deal breaker. Must be a Rumor.

madpuppy5565d ago

It was a problem with accessing the store, I went on just to DL my freebies and it took forever to get on. it kept throwing a number error at me.

--------5565d ago (Edited 5565d ago )

You could log in and play games fine, it was everything else that was down. There's a 52+ page thread about it on the official Playstation forums, with posts from mods and staff.

http://community.eu.playsta...

"Iv been charged 6 times for the map packs, and you have now put me in my overdraft ,which i will now be getting charged for, this is unaceptable from a company as big as sony, i hope to be funded in full today!!1"

^ I don't care what ANYONE says, people who love Black Ops are retarded.

NotSoSilentBob5565d ago

The guy who posted about being charged 6 times for Black Opps is at fault for trying to buy it 6 stupid times.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH471d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt472d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21472d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime472d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils471d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg472d ago (Edited 472d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg472d ago (Edited 472d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
