Most I managed was air-strafing to avoid using some portals in co-op :/ Didn't know you could throw the cubes like that, amazing.
How do we know that Sony had "terrible security"? You're not basing that on the fact that it got hacked, are you? Because EVERY system can be hacked, so by your standard, EVERY company has "terrible security".
Here's some reassuring thoughts:
- No evidence has yet been presented confirming that data has been stolen
- Bank details and passwords were likely encrypted.
- Downloading data for all 77 million accounts would have b...

Over 1 per 1000 people in the United States, over 5 per 1000 in the UK. 1.1 per 1000 globally. This was over the period 1998 - 2000 (3 years). That's 156 weeks, so divide by 156, multiply by 70 thousand and you have 494 people who were victims of fraud during the past week out of those 70 million people with PSN ...
Please, please, PLEASE try to take sensationalist headlines with a grain of salt.
Many PSN users WILL be victims of fraud that may be completely unrelated. Only a thorough investigation will reveal whether PSN users have had their details stolen THROUGH PSN. Even then we might not be 100% certain. If the rate of fraud among PSN users is higher than the general rate, we may have cause for concern, but even then, because many people are now checking their accounts to check for ...
It will be. They charge £5 for a downloadable hat you can only use in the non-replayable co-op mode.
Bizarre this attitude. Bizarre. Valve are rolling in cash they don't need "support". If you want to support something go and donate to charity.
And yeah, it doesn't affect me directly, but on the other hand it's no different from complaining that a game is awful when I had high expectations (not Portal 2 btw, but Portal 2 is a great game with an ugly blemish).
Its indirect affects are going to be that soon I won't be able to buy a ga...
I'm more worried about this:
"even though it was just a bunch of hats for your co-op robots"
I am frankly SHOCKED that people now defend this kind of thing. I honestly thought it was a joke!! You can spend £5 on INDIVIDUAL ITEMS which took one guy probably 5 minutes to make. HORSE ARMOUR was a better value piece of DLC than the crap these guys are selling. It's not like they don't have enough money already.
I'm not sure the PSN outage was initiated by anon. Especially considering
- Their last attack had limited impact
- They said they wouldn't attack PSN
I think what's happened here is:
- Anon had mild success in DDoS attacks
- Prolexic stopped these completely
- They failed to garner support for protests
- They gained many enemies from PS3 gamers
- Hotz settles in court, Anon take (false) credit
- PSN g...
There IS quality control, at least for the professional reviews. Each site is given a weighting based upon its influence, popularity, quality etc. and then this is used to weight the average accordingly. Not saying it's perfect, but they have at least thought of that.
The user reviews you can ignore, unless they are well-written.
@Gumtrol
Yeah you're right. Wikileaks got support because it was revealing genuine info about things people care about (you know, killing of civilians in Iraq and such). Anonymous in the past have also been successful, by exposing the Church of Scientology's business practices and their bizarre beliefs. Here, however, there is an issue where even if you TOLD somebody all the facts, they would go, "So a hacker's been made to pay for his crimes? Good!" You...
No
This is the great exaggeration and lie that Anon & GeoHot have perpetrated, based on flawed reasoning.
You do NOT have rights to do whatever you want with something you own. There is something called the LAW and if you break it you pay the penalty.
Furthermore GeoHot was being sued for _distributing_ the keys he obtained as well as violating the terms of the user license agreement.
Well I wasn't _expecting_ it to be anything special, but what it _could_ at least allow for is a terrain/scenery editor where you could build missions on an alien planet, country mansion or just a city like the one they have built. The strength of LBP is as much the ability to create different game types as it is creating different _scenery_. Not saying it would be easy to build such an editor for Infamous 2 but that's the kind of standard recent games have set in terms of level edito...
Definitely on the lower end of user-generated content. Looks to me like you can do scripting of events along with some subtitles, whereas the world is always the same, the enemies are selected from a list, and the objectives are too. I find it hard to see how much variety can be generated with this. Reminds me of level editors back in the days of Timesplitters 2 except with this you can't even design the level itself.
@outlawlife
Then how come we have this image of someone ripping 10.4GB of data from the disk?
Well you would think it would help with the lag and disconnects in Crysis 2 but it doesn't. Maybe my connection is just crap but other games work fine. Crysis 2 just boots me out of 99% of games and gives me severe lag in the other 1%.
LMAO @ Wilhelm scream in Guild Wars 2 video :)
Yeah apparently there are lots of 100 ping servers in Europe, according to the server browser.
Not so when I actually join them and get 600+ ping.
If I ping the actual server IP using command prompt it lists it as just 16!!! But Crysis 2 MP doesn't like me for some reason. And yes I have forwarded all the relevant ports (not that it ever makes a difference).
But they started at least with a decent idea in Crysis 1. Then they basically retconned most of the ideas in that game other than "aliens found on Earth", and gave NOBODY any clear motive for their actions in Crysis 2.
Single-player was fun, it only took me 5:57 though on Veteran and playing through again isn't that fun for some reason.
Multiplayer I can't even connect to a game 90% of the time and when I do I get 600 ping and/or get kicked ...
Epic games release bullshots again and the 360 fanboys lap them up. It happens every time. The whole point of releasing bullshots is that you'll convince some people it's in-game. If you release in-game shots everyone will know what it looks like. Release bullshots and 50% of people will think it'll look better than it does. I wonder if people will ever learn? People still use Gears 2 bullshots in their comparisons with other games, despite having played Gears 2!
Yeah, I like how they've tried to leave tricks for people to try this time around. Portal 1 speedruns were full of pure glitches, this time they've thought about it and it's intentional.
I don't remember being able to air-strafe in Portal 1, it was probably possible though, after all, it's all based upon the Quake engine :)
