that's insane. kind of a nutty lineup. I don't have hard drive space for that!

i've stayed away from Plus cos the whole "don't get to keep the games" thing, but looking at it as a rental service this new addition makes it seem kinda interesting? all depends on what games they have, but according to their blog games are going to be rotated every couple of months and their will be 45 of them in the first year. hmmmm.
― zappi, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:21 (eleven years ago) link
i never return to games after a year of purchase anyway? 75 bucks for an array of games to try yearly is good math. Again though: the hard drive issue is serious! And I have a 120 gig model. Is it easy to set up a terabyte drive via usb to help with space on this? The download install time on those games has gotta be like a day apiece.

supposedly once you download something you can play it as long as you have a subscription, and if you are running out of space you can delete them & redownload at a later date? slowly warming to this idea tbh. glad i don't have a bandwidth cap tho, can see that being a huge problem for people.
― zappi, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 14:16 (eleven years ago) link
That's true.
Just Cause 2 took me all night to download and install. 15 GB!

so apparently you can't use an external to store games but it's pretty easy to put a 500 gig/1 tb drive directly onto the ps3? If that's so, this is amazingly good news and i don't mind paying for netflix instant gaming style

good thing ps+ instadownloads/installs this stuff if you set it to.this could be kinda game changing. Could shut down used game stores in the long run.

Can you migrate a smaller HD out if you want to swap to a bigger one? I'm having serious storage issues here & i wanna download all these grate games.
fuck u ps3 for putting Just Cause 2 on sale a week before it went free so I would pay for it for no reason
― antexit, Thursday, 7 June 2012 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
I think you can back up the data to something external, swap a new one in, and then restore?

hi! hello! what is the general opinion here on YAKUZA 4? (or 3?)
― kelpolaris, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 04:31 (eleven years ago) link
I LOVE them. I haven't completed Yakuza 4 yet though. They're really fun - the plots are ridiculous by not terrible, and the writing contains actual jokes that are funny. The combat is decent. There isn't too much pointless wandering around (the random battles get a bit annoying). BUY THESE GAMES, THEY ARE BRILLIANT.

Its tournament presence died. I hear there's a patch coming that will change a lot -- easier timing, shorter combos.

― polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 18:56 (eleven years ago) link
dyad kinda isn't that good. the controls just aren't there. the game penalizes mistakes heavily so feeling like the controls screwed me rather than my own ineptitude is frustrating.
this is after two weeks of spelunky obsession--and that game a) is hard as fuck b) controls perfectly so c) fuckups always feel like one's own fuckups

The Playstation 3 is MISTAH KURTZ HE DEAD
Froze on startup screen. Restarted, it loaded the xmb literally ten times slower than usual, then refused to play a film. Went to safe mode and tried to restore file system but it froze. Restarted normal mode and it offered to rebuild file system, got to 100% and then froze on restart. Tried again, same again.

My PS3 made some worrying noises when I tried to eject a DVD (wasn't sure if there was anything in it). After a sweaty few minutes of power off/power on/try ejecting, it finally spat out a DVD. It then played another DVD fine (Princess Mononoke, since you ask), so I celebrated by buying 3D Dot Game Heroes, which I've been meaning to pick up since, well, whenever it came out. I'm sure I'll get bored of it a few hours in, but I love the idea.

It reminds me of any number of crazy-looking-but-basically-rubbish Japanese games from the PS1/PS2 days, but has SCE Japan Studio ever actually made a bad game? It's hard to think of one. So this really could be a great as it looks.
