This is about the backlog, which hasn't been on here yet.
So I guess your problem is that you're NOT reading stuff.
@SniperControl
Not really sure what you're getting at. It's all coming through the same server. If you were able to change your password, you were unaffected by this.
It seems you've been lucky. I was read an official internal email over the phone after passwords for two of my accounts were changed on Wednesday and it said to expect problems throughout the week.
I've been told this morning that, after 48 hours, they still can't guarantee that I'll be able to change my password any time soon.
I don't think you've read past the first sentence. They've done it on such a scale that they have a backlog of people who can't change their password.
They can't do it over the phone, they can't do it via PC, they can't do it via their console.
They have to just wait for the backlog to clear. Sony don't know how long that is going to take. That means there are hundreds of people who are literally locked out of their accounts. T...
I'd be happy with LittleBigPlanet, but ultimately it doesn't matter. I've got more than enough from the two games a month, and we're not missing out on anything by not having them updated.
"This is just the most inflated sensationalist BS I have ever seen. "
You didn't see the irony when you typed that, huh?
No, I'd say we're on the edge of doom. The reason people are spouting these amazing numbers - 200% increase! - is because sales were so low in the first place.
There are enough good games coming out in the next few months that we'll probably see quite a few of these really successful patches. It might even make a few people think the Wii U is out of the woods. But if they remain patches, something has got to give. If sales rise indefinitely, development might incr...
It's doing better than it was, and that's important. People are celebrating a little too early - Nintendo release some games people want to play and reduce the price slightly and sales increase? No way! - but it's a step in the right direction.
Nintendo have the chance now to continue building this momentum. A handful of mid-tier games and one or two bigger titles isn't enough to keep it going, especially not in the wake of the PS4/Xbox One release. What they ...
@Stavrami
Yeah, because you refuse to believe verifiable fact because "sometimes Google lies."
If people like you want to ignore me or, better yet, stop giving opinions on things you refuse to understand, the internet would probably become a better place.
EDIT
Oh, and his "calling me out" was to copy each of my sentences and then put the phrase LOL after each one. Then he wonders why I question his educat...
"If anyone is suffering it is hardcore gamers..."
How so?
No, honestly, I see this crap pulled out far too often. I'm calling you on it.
2013 has seen four or five games that by score could contend with the best games ever made. There are more platforms and titles released, with a wider variety in each, than there ever has been before. If you're not interested in AAA titles, there are countless indie titles which will defin...
Yeah. See CoD. One of the biggest sellers in the industry.
OT: For long running franchises, people will be happy to overlook one or two relatively poor entries. Grand Theft Auto IV was by no means bad, and neither was AC3 (especially when it'd been patched).
One game probably won't change sales all that much.
"saying ppl are fools to spend money on a product they can't actually hold and also sell or lend or do anything with especially when paying the exact same price or more than is foolish behaviour"
Except to people who buy digital. It's not foolish to want content and to want it delivered in a way that's convenient. Who are you to say there's a right or a wrong way to buy a form of entertainment?
You know what I think is foolish? Talki...
It's not that they want to keep retailers happy. Technically it's because publishers setting their own prices digitally would give them an unfair advantage.
HOWEVER. You don't screw over the people that give you the majority of your money. Retailers don't NEED publishers (that's why you can buy HMV-exclusive limited editions from GAME the day after release), publishers NEED retailers. Switching over completely to digital would be too big a risk at this poi...
It has more to do with the fact you insulted people based on their game purchasing preferences, I'm sure.
Not to mention that the brick and mortar stores you're so quick to support are the exact problem with digital pricing.
"i don't understand why all these companies that want consumers to get on the digital band wagon but still want to charge the same or even more than what you can get for a hard copy"
So why don't you take two seconds and look into it?
People still buy the bulk of their games from retail stores. Retail stores don't like the idea of console manufacturers undercutting them.
So they can't. It's a catch-22. That's...
@Baka
You can set up keywords for the whole of Twitter. If you tweet something including a brand name or celebrity name, it'll be read by the person/brand you're talking about.
What's more surprising here is the amount of people that didn't realize this.
2005. Was approved before I could fix it here.
They're showing it at D23 - a Disney convention.
He says, like people didn't wait 20 minutes for naked pictures of Tifa to load in the nineties.
EDIT
And as if there weren't a load of Lara Croft naked Xplorer/Xploder cheats in every school yard.
@SniperControl
Again. If you and your mates could get through without issue, you are unaffected.
There are people who ARE affected, and there are a lot of us. Your being able to sort things out doesn't make that any less true.
