Demons souls is so so good but insanely hard. I'm at the point where i keep running away back to the nexus every time i get a decent amount of souls because the threat of dying is completely overwhelming. Getting a bit boring because i'm killing the same fifteen skeletons over and over and running away but can't bring myself to venture forward. Such a wonderful opressive atomsphere. So excited abt god of war 3 and uncharted 2 but the postal service is an absolute disgrace, shoulda had them days ago.
Is there any heavy rain love on ilg? Really loved fahrenheit or at least the first half hour of it and i'm assuming heavy rain is the same but better?

thre's a thread for it - i think the consensus (which i share) is that it's a flawed but very entertaining game. i think it's totally worth playing - for the mood, for the unique controls, for the "wtf will happen next" feeling.. i got hooked on it, in that "just one more episode" wire type of way

it's fun having a new console that is also a game system.

xmb dashboard is one of the ugliest things i've ever had to navigate through though.
― toastmodernist, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 12:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I just got a new TV that has basically the same interface as the PS3 dashboard. But slower. :(

the fact that the quit graphic has to "load" is pretty ridiculous

custom firmwares surfacing already, jeez those guys are quick. also Heavy Rain is terrible.

Playstation 3 is currently a game system with a lot of good looking exclusives for 2011http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/01/10/ps3-2011-preview-20-exclusive-games/

can't believe Hyperdimension Neptunia is getting localised, looks the epitome of otaku bullshit

"um, you still can't pirate games for it"
what was that weird USB thing that they ported to TI calculators, and now people are hooking up their TI calculators to PS3s during boot for?
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 10 January 2011 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link
haha seriously i was like o_O at that link when the 1st two games were obscure even by the genre's standards nis imports
then i got SOCOM 4 and stopped caring again

The Playstation 3 is currently a game system which now runs a gang of emulators:
http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/01/10/homebrew-and-emulators-appear-on-ps3-what-will-sony-do/
not dicking around w/ haXoring until there's a way to automatically disable the game list reporting (which is apparently how Sony gonna gitcha), but if this means I can play MAME on my TV with my joystick I am alllllllll for it
― FART MAGNET STUDIOS IS SCREWING US AGAIN!!!1!1!!!1!! (jamescobo), Monday, 10 January 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah totally. If I can get it running MAME maybe I'll actually have a reason to turn the thing on now and again. Cos that list of exclusives definitely isn't going to do the job.
Looking forward to XBMC for PS3 actually. And it'll be nice if somebody hacks PS2 compatibility back into it.

- Last Guardian- SoC and Ico HD- Uncharted 3- Beyond Good and Evil HD
Those are 4/5 games right there that I'm going to buy sight unseen when they come out
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 10:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I never liked BG&E very much but it's good to see it finally cop some recognition to meet its reputation. Never played SoC and only spent 10 mins with Ico so particularly pumped for those.
― Suppositori Spelling (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 10:34 (thirteen years ago) link
i've never played the uncharted games. played the demo of the first one once and just kept on getting killed (n.b. i am not a noob), lots of my friends swear by them though, so maybe i should give them a shot.
― À la recherche du temps Pardew (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 10:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I had the exact same experience w/the first one, hated it, but the second one is fucking magnificent
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:22 (thirteen years ago) link
cool, will get a loan off one of my friends of the second one.
― À la recherche du temps Pardew (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Ok yeah, I'll get the Ico pack. But remakes don't count. And the rest of the list still looks meh to me.
Thought Uncharted 2 was hugely overrated too (didn't try the first). I guess if you liked the original Tomb Raider games it might appeal, but it's really only a flashy update of that same old idea.
― JimD, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:40 (thirteen years ago) link
i adored the first Tomb Raider and would play all this games
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Release date: Holiday 2011

tomb raider 2 was amazing. used to play it and listen to dj shadow. nostalgia :'(
― À la recherche du temps Pardew (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:44 (thirteen years ago) link
xp that's what i thought. i think.
yeah i could dig some tomb raider type action.
― nanoflymo (ledge), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:44 (thirteen years ago) link
actually yeah Tomb Raider 2 was pretty good. i didn't like the humans interrupting my private time with Lara but all the Venice stuff was amazing
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh you guys, you're reminding me why I preferred the N64 to the PSX.

oh jim you're reminding me that you prefer f-zero to wipeout.

Hoping inFamous 2 will be this year's dark horse as the first game was awesome and criminally ignored

the 2011 title most prominently appearing on my DO WANT list is probably Motorstorm: Apocalypse
― FART MAGNET STUDIOS IS SCREWING US AGAIN!!!1!1!!!1!! (jamescobo), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Journey looks pretty amazing
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Journey, Last Guardian and Ico/Colossus are basically my most wanted games for this year.
― predeep natsvitika (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:32 (thirteen years ago) link
My PS3 is basically my blu-ray player at this point. I barely ever use it for games.
But that's fine, because I love blu-ray.

it's great for netflix; far better interface and speedier loading than the 360
― predeep natsvitika (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 18:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, but it's important to me that my xbox friends know I'm watching 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain.

the Playstation 3 is about to be a game system which has Mass Effect 2 available on PSN! if you have a gameshare group going it comes out to like $12/person.

gosh, i sure would like a gameshare group YOU FUCKERS

Sorry forks, I just don't play enough games (or want to play more, to be honest).
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
whoa, i just noticed 4oD and iTVPlayer have popped up in the menu... wow.
that is like more TV than i'll ever need.
Match of the Day is like the last remaining reason for me to keep my DVR..
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 January 2011 22:10 (thirteen years ago) link
so... could not get anything with a content warning to actually play on 4oD via PS3... any button i pressed just dumped me back to the selection screen.

check your parental lock settings, when I downloaded the big Lebowski, it wouldn't play till I reset the parental level to 0. the password is 0000 in case you need that.
It was weird as I have been playing teh adult games since I bought it.
and if the PS3 saw the kind of stuff I'd been looking at through the web browser. it probably wouldn't have made such a big deal about the big Lebowski....
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Monday, 24 January 2011 10:33 (thirteen years ago) link
weird. you're talking about the parental lock on the PS3 as a whole?
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 24 January 2011 10:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Every time I try to play a game on my PS3 is takes me 15 minutes to update.
― polyphonic, Monday, 24 January 2011 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link
I've considered getting a PSP+ account solely just for the automatic update dling.
