jim is right, it's not a shooter at all, it's more of a plan-and-go tactical puzzle game. the high comes successful execution of those plans and the twitch satisfaction of surviving the metal-gear-on-acid AI

im guessing that it would be tons better on pc, controls on ps3 seem not so hot
on more important news, woke up to random funds being added to my account and a really poorly worded email saying that someones friend had added funds to my account to buy gta v and apologizing. obv a scam, so i went to the sony entertainment whatever from my computer and changed my password - i am new to ps3 identity theft, is there more shit that i should do? the funds are in my wallet, so it wasn't a straight phishing email.

ha and in a truly amazing design choice, it appears that i can't blank my credit card info from the pc site, so basically theres nothing else i can do until i get home 9 hours from now. thats comforting.

ouch, that sucks
xps i haven't tried it on PS3 yet, but it's hard for me to imagine playing that game well without the mouse control
― Nhex, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 15:51 (ten years ago) link
jjj jsut dont respond. they cant access any of your information unless you give it to them. changing your password is a good move, but dont worry about anyone breaking into your cc. if you're really really concerned call the bank & block the card for 24h or something

sometimes playing it makes me wistful that I can't bring the same level of elaborate planning skills to bear on my actual workload at work as I do when I'm feverishly prioritising which guy I'm going to hit with the golf club first and what I'll do if the fuckin dog wanders in mid-massacre
― random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 26 October 2013 14:59 (ten years ago) link
Just finished Last of Us and it was fucking great. Wasn't really feeling it for the first 3 hours or so, but once I got the mechanics down it totally sucked me in. Couldn't put it down. The last 1/3 or so was particularly beautifully done. I can honestly say I've never given a damn about characters or story in just about any game I've ever played, but I got super invested in this one. "Citizen Kane of video games" is pretty lol, but this really did impress me.

Really great Spielberg-ian moment of respite towards the end. Not sure if it was the emotional weakness from the hangover, but that was so completely unexpected and perfect.

i have bought it and am really looking forward to playing it after i finish GTA5 some time in 2015

Pretty great batch.

Locked out of my wallet because I suck at filling out forms. Still downloaded catherine ($13.39) and will pounce on deadly premonition when my lock clears in 24 hours. $25! Why do you not already have this?

Isn't the PC port supposed to be all sorts of broken? Although maybe this isn't the game to worry about that really :p

Ok the vita only ps+ freebie oddworld:strangers wrath is the first time ever where I have been super jealous of u peeps. Great fucking game.

I rebought that when it popped up on PSN a few moths ago. They aced the PS3 port. Looks and plays great.

Did anyone actually play Puppeteer? It's on sale at BB and I'm tempted to grab it for the backlog.

Ok dudes, when borderlands 2 drops this month on ps+ we have no excuse not to crew up.

i'm in. no mic though, fuck that. and i may end up just playing the single player forever getting ready

mics do make these games a lot more fun, when you're not playing with jackass randomsthat said i will probably be too lazy to get one in time. maybe we can do a text chat room via skype on our phones or something
― Nhex, Thursday, 5 December 2013 16:52 (ten years ago) link
yeah i'll warm the bench for this if anyone can't make it, such a fun game
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 5 December 2013 16:55 (ten years ago) link
man if thats on ps+ i could f with that too(do we have some sort of psn username share situation?)
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Thursday, 5 December 2013 18:20 (ten years ago) link
Already played this game enough on 360 that I won't be getting it for PS3, but I will say that playing the single player "to get ready" is sorta pointless, forks. You can play it that way but it doesn't make things easier. There are a few battles where it helped me to do on my own to understand how to do them well, but they were pretty late in the game, and mostly those were just due to my patheticness at shooting games. Ideally you have a team that is all roughly the same level so you're all facing the same challenge level. Overpowered guys take the fun out of the multiplayer game.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 5 December 2013 18:53 (ten years ago) link
Okay then i will play with group if were on same timeframes

While playing GTA5 last night, PS3 crashed and red light started blinking - is this the same thing as YLOD?In which case, maybe you guys could advise on what to do - buying a new PS3 seems a bit stupid now that a new system is out - OTOH I'd be pretty upset to lose all my PS3 games, esp barely started GTA5 and Skyrim.So what should I do? Buy a used PS3 on the cheap? Would it then be possible for me to install my old HDD int ot?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 9 December 2013 11:32 (ten years ago) link
I am not sure but I think swapping out a hard drive will automatically trigger a reformat? I'd look that up before trying it.
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link
yeh you can't just swap out the hard drive, this FAQ might be of helphttp://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Support-PS3/FAQ-YLOD/m-p/10675151#U10675151
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 9 December 2013 15:03 (ten years ago) link
yeah did some research and it seems it's immpossible to swap HDDsok so now the question is simply do I want to buy a cheap PS3 so I can at least play the games I wown or get a PS4 with no games to play?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 9 December 2013 15:06 (ten years ago) link
go for the cheap ps3. this is the best time to buy one, you can probably still get a brand new one w/Arkham Origins/The Last of Us for $200 (the BF bundle) if you look around - even if you own them already, you can sell them easily and cut down your cost
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 15:12 (ten years ago) link
Well shit, my 500gb hard drive appears to be full. If I erase ps+ games I lose them forever right?

ps+ games can be dl'd anytime that you want as long as you're still a subscriber. ps store buys are always available period.
