Wow. 13 hours?
Has maintenance always been this long?

Intentions5243d ago

Prob just prep for PS Vita [worldwide] release.

Misterhbk5243d ago

I hope they're adding the ability to use the us ps store on the Vita. I'd love to add some of my psp games to my Vita while I wait for the launch. I'm almost done with golden abyss so I needs more to play!

Kevin ButIer5243d ago

That should be terapeutic.... i hope

MaxXAttaxX5243d ago

This must be some heavy maintenance. And prepping for other things(like PS Vita).

Marquis_de_Sade5243d ago

Well this is great, living in a GMT time zone that completely kills off any chance of me getting to play online today as it coincides with mine, and many others, peak game time.

ziggurcat5243d ago

it's not always that long, but there have been occasions where a 12 hour maintenance period occurred.

they're obviously prepping for something big and/or plugging any security holes they may have discovered.

morkendo235243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

Netflick still avalable

only time im on playstation network to down load DEMO'S which is once a month, 13 hours dont bother me.

Ducky5242d ago

They could've just had it one day earlier while claiming it to be for support against SOPA/PIPA.
:D

"Users who are already signed into their account on PlayStation Network before the start of the maintenance should be able to stay signed in to their online session, but will not be able to access any of the services listed above. Users who attempt to sign-in to their PlayStation Network account after the start of the maintenance may be presented with the site maintenance notification page"

Problem solved, just sign in before the maintainance and don't log out.

Cosmit5243d ago

Yeah I caught that. But leaving my PS3 on for that long is something I don't really want to do. I leave for school around 7:30 and get back at 3. Usually don't feel like getting on until after like 5. Either way 13 hours is a long time.

SilentNegotiator5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

And then play 13 hours straight! :)

Solid_Snake375243d ago

I tried that before, i always get disconnected -_-

FlareDReborn5243d ago

Well by the time i wake up it should be back on. *Goes watch anime to past the time*

Lol, how is mentioning cross game chat trolling?
I found it funny anyways ^_^

JellyJelly5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

Some of the mods on this site are extremely sensitive about certain things. Let their bias come into play too often and just assume people are trolling when sometimes they are not.

Nitrowolf25242d ago

i'll agree it'snot trolling, but if anything it should have been just marked as spam. If that's trolling then we are all trolling

yesmynameissumo5243d ago

It's funnier that people still think after 5yrs cross chat is coming. It's like holding out for MGS4 on the 360.

DragonKnight5243d ago

@Jelly: I would normally be inclined to agree with what you said, but in my communications with mods after complaining about the broken bubble system, I've found that the site system is itself broken. Some people here have "stronger" or "weaker" bubble voting power than others, and the mods apparently rarely ever actually debubble anyone unless it is reported as Offensive or Spam.

So that he was marked as trolling has to do with those people here who have stronger power to bubble or debubble and they don't know what trolling means. The mods won't do anything about it though. They couldn't care less.

ziggurcat5243d ago

probably because sony announced (months ago, i might add) that cross game chat would never be coming to the PS3 and people *still* get their hopes up and insist on requesting that feature?

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 Souls5832d ago

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

Godmars2905832d ago (Edited 5832d 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.

ClownBelt5832d 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-Pyro5832d 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.

Anon73495832d 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.

RedDevils5832d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5832d ago

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