Versus is a spinoff of a mediocre game. Versus is the very problem with Square.
For those who played the beta...
How was match-making? Was is easy to get into a game?
I currently in the beta. I'm using an older 60GB model with no issues.
The beta forums don't indicate any serious issues. This is likely a fluke.
That will most certainly change with the new security measures.
PSN isn't "up" yet. You might be able to play online, but the system is still undergoing fundamental structural changes. Expect more interruptions for a while.
When Sony unveiled the PS3 at E3 2005, Tretton said Sony would "spoon feed" online gaming in response to Microsoft's bold Xbox Live network.
Sony relied on brand recognition and hoped their fans would remain ignorant of Xbox Live. Sony didn't take their network seriously. Now they're paying for their complacency.
In 2005, I predicted Sony would allow internet access and claim to have all the features of the internet (thus claiming to have more content than Live).
Navigating the internet is pretty ugly without a mouse and kb.
Sony described the PS3 as the exact opposite when they justified the $599 price tag. They said the PS3 was fine dining.
So, the 360 must be like fine wine. It gets better with age.
Square refuses to innovate. They are using design principals from 1995.
The only way to restore FF to it's peak of glory is to give the IP to Bioware.
When Kojima reveals a game, four years pass before you can play it.
I just got Rick Rolled by HHG again!
They need to move those Moves. :)
For all the criticism, this article has a ton of hits.
Sony is doomed if they don't get PSN running in the next few days. May 31 will be way too late.
I agree. The story is too "good for Sony" to be true.
It has not been a full billing cycle, yet. Cable companies refund outages often. If PSN is down for a month, then they should cease billing.
Gamespot has gone pro.
Any time Sony sets a date for anything, it gets pushed.
Sony pinches their pennies at the wrong place and the wrong time.
You can remove your credit cards as long as they are not tied to the Xbox Live subscription. I just verified this with my account.
Last year, my card was tied to it and I called MS. They told me to wait for the subscription to expire and then remove the card. It worked.
The lesson is that you can use the credit card to purchase anything except Xbox Live Gold. (MS may have changed this recently, but as of last year, the card is tied.)
