Being forced to pay to play on the xbox for multiplayer was what made me decide to wait for the ps3 when it launched. Most of the people trolling this article dont seem to mind that they dont get any online at all if they choose not to carry an xbox live account but because its sony its the evil empire trying to take down the little man.
Again I would prefer the pass to give me more advanced features and still allow others to...
This is going to sting the video stores/gamefly the most I have a feeling. Certain games you couldnt rent because of the passes if you were into the multiplayer aspect.
I can accept it, most games I purchase new anyway even if I wait for 2-3 months down the road. The one way I always thought that a pass system like this would be good would be to separate the ranked servers from the unranked to keep people on the up and up.
Playing so many online games you g...
I get stuck in the animation trying to high five a lot. I will attempt to do the high five and the character will glitch and wave the arms fast multiple times and on occasion I can get a high five to work.
lol...im right along side you guys throwing quarters down the machine, slaughtering the gnomes who rob you while you sleep.
back when arcades had malls/bowling alleys built around them :)
why support them when you could go to any other store Best Buy/Target/Wal Mart/AMAZON and get stuff cheaper and brand new most of the time.
disc replay, or even craigslist would be a better alternative than using gamestop. I would rather go to yard sales looking for games rather than step foot in gamestop
Games being expensive is a sorry ass excuse. I will assume that you are a kid, because if you have been around for any other consoles including the Nes, SNES, Genesis you would see the prices have actually been low in comparison.
I have paid for some crappy games in the past on the NES, and had no online, no co-op just a goofy 8 bit single player game with crappy graphics, horrible sounds, and clunky controls but still somehow managed to purchase the game and still pay bills...

+Bubs for an intelligent thought on here. People know of the consequences and choose to ignore them in regards to piracy. Its the reason the scanners at a stores doors are wired for sound now, cameras everywhere, and prices of products go up because you have to protect your property from lowlifes who steal.
Keep it up and we will have so many lame ass hoops to jump through, and crazy laws in place just to connect to the internet in the future.

what gamingdroid said is on the money with some of these games. as far as the socom forums its too be expected. they have taken that game as far away from the roots as possible, and every time they have to attempt to "patch" Socom back into the game. in the case of uncharted people feel they are going the same route as zipper and trying to capture some of the casual crowd by catering to COD fanboys.
like anything in life most people do...
I would like to be able to access my friends list while listening to music. Not sure which update took that out but I thought we were able to up to the network going down.
As of now you have to exit out of the music, select your message then restart the music. You can run straight through the video to get to messages still. I would think the video would be more cpu/ram heavy rather than just music. Curious as the reason for this action.
Off topic I know, but wouldn't you be able to put the hdd from your ps3 into the new one and keep all the data or is it saved specific to that particular ps3?
sucks for the machine being activated as it takes away from the download limit, but maybe with the hdd swap its good to go.
Great time for those who do not own it to pick up Burnout Paradise City for 8 bucks with all the dlc included. Thats an awesome deal.
All you have to do is wait for 2 weeks to a month after the game releases and buy it for new, and for the most part at a discount at Amazon. Its on you if you choose to save 5 dollars by buying a used copy at gameslop, if they start dropping the used prices at that store then by all means pick it up used but you know that will not happen.
I just picked up 3 ps3 games for 30 bucks at Best Buy, they were all brand new. Dead Rising 2, Fallout New Vegas, and Brutal Legend. The...
Would make a huge game even bigger. With all the money available from those games it would be a huge selling point over the other. Like someone said above, Imagine the clan tournaments or leader board battles that could occur.
What could push say Battlefield/Medal of Honor type series over COD.....cross platform play implemented on dedicated servers :)
Picked up Fallout NV, Dead Rising 2, and Brutal Legend. Hard to pass up 5 buck games, when you can turn them back in for the same amount on amazon in a month or two.
agreed. inside the sealed cases include a special limited edition only item that was actually limited edition.
IIRC Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor came as limited edition from the stores and that was the only way they came. I picked both of them up from walmart and still see the same "limited edition" copies of those games at every walmart/bestbuy/disc replay I have been in.
make it like sports cards used to be. put one special in game item (ar...
According to SuperPokenerd, an “Honorable Member” on the Bungie forums, “Today, bungie showed a blatant disregard for its fans and community. I could care less if this was for charity or for profit (i don’t believe in charity andyway) and I’m utterly disgusted at bungie if they think what they did today was ok.”
lmao...what a douchebag. this whiney little prick is an "honorable member" of their community. wow. kudos to the devs trying to help out charities, shame...
I am liking a few of the changes they made, the gameplay mode with the 3 teams is awesome along with the opening of the team deathmatch games.
The one thing I really dont like is the amount of bullets you have to hit people with at times to kill them, I average around 15-20% accuracy and thats including intentional spray to draw people out but when a guy has his back to me and I am aimed in hitting him he can still turn around and kill me. I hope this is an issue that will b...
I cant wait to try it out, I downloaded the beta last night after work and got up early to try it and it kept giving me the error message.
Is the beta move compatible? If so then how is the aiming compared to KZ3 and Socom 4? Just curious I will try it out when I get home from work today.
The difference with Socom 4's pass is that it is like the Bad Company 2 pass where you gain access to new maps/weapons for free rather than having to pay to download them at a later date and it also provides access to different game modes.
Far too long renters and douchebags whose only purpose in life is to try to ruin the online experience of others has occured, Socom pass was on the right track. It gives me a server/game modes where I dont have to worry about people ch...
