In a perfect world it wouldn't, but we don't live in a perfect world. DDOS attacks and unforeseen issues happen. Nowhere in my subscription terms did Sony swear a solemn vow that the service would be immune to issues every other network is affected by. I'm cool with occasional hiccups, just the same as when my Live has issues.
I pay for a service and fully expect Sony and MS work hard to keep it going. I don't expect perfection.
Here we go again...
Agreed. Sadly, I never made it very far into Dishonored before getting distracted with another game on the pile, but this dude's skills have me eager to dive back in.
That depends entirely on the launch lineup. While there was initial excitement for the Wii U leading up to its launch, an all but nonexistent launch lineup made for the first console debut in recent memory where Nintendo consoles collected dust on store shelves.
Nintendo has to prove the potential of their next system before even the staunchest Nintendo die-hards commit next go-round. They'll have to do this by ensuring a large stable of high-quality software on launch da...
Well said. It boggles my mind how easily some people overlook how quickly services like PS+ and Live Gold pay for themselves through bonus content and other subscriber bells and whistles. And anyone who thinks these massive online networks would be any better without subscription revenue to prop them up is wholly out of touch.
Of course it is. You get multiple free games per month, discounted pricing on titles and a service that, for the most part, is very stable.
Network problems happen. They suck, and we deal. Does it happen to Sony more than the competition? Sure. But to deny the service's value is ludicrous.
Looks like Inafune's new hero got the wrong kind of Mega Buster upgrade.
Very well said. Though it's worth noting that former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi had virtually no experience in the field and presided over a company that redefined the games industry during his tenure.
"It’s even branded as a ‘Sony PlayStation’ and the controller is pretty much identical to that of the PS1."
Uh...what? The controller is virtually identical to the standard SNES controller apart from the Sony branding. How could the author possibly confuse the two?
Apart from that, the article offers next to nothing we haven't seen in the dozens of articles that have popped up since the system surfaced, apart from one line speculating it could s...
That's pretty awesome. I'm definitely all for seeing developers offer deals like this more often.
The sale isn't just exclusive to GameStop as it's the listed price on Amazon as well. I suspect most retailers will be following suit and dropping the price of the collection soon.
It definitely lines up with Iwata's statements earlier this year. If anything, it'd be most shocking if we didn't see NX consoles on retailer's shelves next holiday season.
So, in short the site was down, you slept and someone beat you to the punch. It's happened to all of us. It sucks, but that's how it happens. The original contributor cited Best Buy's digital listings, not you.
I can't argue with that. One of the only games we gave a perfect score all year.
My thoughts exactly. And the better this version does, the more likely we'll see Nordic support the production of a proper third entry in the series.
Lol. That was actually the first thing I thought to myself when I saw that.
Looks like it.
@JeffGunz Missing the point? It was mentioned explicitly in the article that these issues are likely confined to the beta and will likely be ironed out before the final release.
Ah, my apologies then. :)
They could do that, sure, but having a menu pop-up and block the screen isn't the same as having you manipulate the gamepad like a physical rucksack as things play out independently on the big screen. That was a part of what made it so immersive. This goes doubly so for the scanner, which utilized the gyroscopes, forcing you to glance around the room you're in (unless you were a ninny who hates immersive experiences and used the sticks).
Having menus pop up to obscure...
