The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

i'm me

Ok so hold on, after waiting forever for a game to download, it also takes a million years to install it to the hard drive wtf

it's a sony

oh yeah i remember when that first happened
it never ends btw

Hahahaha and now it is downloading like 15 updates, I am truly one of you now.

Welcome to hell

We tried to warn you.

btw say goodbye to your identity

Spec Ops The Line is free on PS+ tomorrow.

is there a good place to track current/upcoming ps+ deals? also does anyone know if the free plants vs zombies on ps+ right now is the vita or ps3 version? not that i am sure i want it or care, just curious

I believe it is VITA

there's a good PSN weekly deal thread on cheapassgamer, or you could subscribe directly to the PS blog at sony's site

wow didn't The Cave just come out?

man its so weird to adjust back to a playstation sized controller after years of blobby xbox.

good shit this month!

xp I know, right? I had the exact same feeling, haha

yeah, Spec Ops, The Cave, and Joe Danger 2(!) definitely nice

ok so picked up the original motorstorm for like $2 (i think it might turn out awesome but it handles kinda weird) resistance: fall of man for $2 (i think i hate this and will return it, even for $2) and resistance 2 (have not played, will prob return thx to resistance one feelings)

where do i go from here wrt ps3 exclusives? is the uncharted stuff actually good or just critic jerkoff city? anybody got a box of dusty old games they want to sell me? HALP

oh yeah and duh i have ratchet and clank all 4 one, infamous 2, arcade super street fighter, vanquish, and little big planet 2 thx to ps+ freebie.

WIPEOUT HD

DELETE EVERY OTHER GAME ON YR HARD DRIVE UNTIL YOU PLAY WIPEOUT HD

oh yeah, i forgot that one. should i wait around and see if it goes ps+ at some point? still not entirely sure how that works or what the life-cycle is for games showing up there.

xp hahaha i think you feel strongly abt this somehow

can i just success getting motorstorm apocalypse and playing it on your buddy's huge screen via a 1080p 3D projector while massively lifted, because, that, uh, worked for a friend of mine.

btw when I come to MN I can bring Rocksmith with me so you can see if you like it

are motorstorm apocalypse or motorstorm pacific rift big step ups from the original? also is twisted metal any good or did they fuck that one up

btw I am a terrible person to ask about most PS exclusives because the vast majority of them can suck a nut IMO

for example, Infamous is a total dick

im still early in, but so far i dont dig the controls much in infamous 2 - i am going to have to remap a lot of controls on games (where possible) because put the aim and shoot triggers on l1/r1 instead of l2/r2 is just super stupid to me.

big fat xbox hands crush puny controllar may be a contributing factor here

or maybe Infamous as a game franchise is a giant shitstain, signed A Dude Who Is Physically Incapable of Aiming

motorstorm apocalypse is wonderful imo

oh yeah that would not help, the aiming is fairly finicky as far as i can tell.

I realized I was not going to be capable of playing Infamous when I died repeatedly during the first "mission" after the tutorial, where 5 guys slowly walked towards me in the middle of a park and I couldn't kill ANY of them

uncharted 2 is really good; uncharted 3 is too much of an interactive movie not enough of a game imo

GET: Orange Box, Demon/Dark Souls, Touch my Katamari (if you can get it cheap and you can)

are motorstorm apocalypse or motorstorm pacific rift big step ups from the original?

― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten)

Nah - they are kind of the same. The most different is the third one because the tracks have elements that change / destruct each time you race through it, plus it has a horned in story mode. Handling and crashing is the same throughout all three, pretty much. Pacific Rift has some good tracks. The bummer is that the first two games have lost their online servers & really half of those games was the multiplayer - single player is kind of boring after not too long (not enough tracks or variety or something).

The Motorstorm RC game is my favorite though (and it doesn't have online except for leaderboards).

i'd definitely like to hear some more PS3-exclusive recs too. Yakuza games? White Knight Chronicles or other RPGs? PSN stuff?

Tokyo Jungle is very very silly but also a lot of fun if you like vague post-apocalyptic animal simulators

what if i LOVE them

then HOLD ONTO YOUR HAT

forks still said my favorite thing ever about TJ:

i have unlocked the gazelle, the cat, the beagle and OMG the chick which is like controlling a bumblebee and instadeath
my cat is kind of a badass now. I took down a dairy cow. here's how bad the graphics are: i initially thought it was a panda.
it should be noted that everytime you breed, the game restarts with those stats... even though it doesn't tell you that!

the hilariously bad graphics are a definite bonus for Tokyo Jungle.

Here's the C+ P 2012 PS/PSN games of note:

Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Quantum Conundrum
I Am Alive
Pro Evolution Soccer 2013
Far Cry 3
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland
MotorStorm: RC
Soulcalibur V
Doom 3: BFG Edition
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Machinarium
Assassin's Creed III
Journey
Tokyo Jungle
Sine Mora
Skullgirls
Double Dragon Neon
Rock Band Blitz
Sound Shapes
Knytt Underground

i will cosign Journey, Tokyo Jungle and Sound Shapes as must buys especially given they equal roughly the cost of one triple A game
Oh and if you're digging you should get into all the old pixeljunk games, they hold up

best JRPG is Valkyria Chronicles, beautiful watercolor artwork, plays like a strategy RPG like Fire Emblem or FF Tactics but without the grid. steer well clear of White Knight Chronicles and FF13, both terrible. 3D Dot Game Heroes is ok if you want an oldschool Zelda fix. Ni No Kuni is gorgeous, battle system gets a bit repetitive after a while though.

oh yeah, Valkyria Chronicles! i keep forgetting about that, been wanting to play that since forever.

valkyria is awesome

i am half in love with quantum conundrum but it has some of the worst first person platforming EVER. its a fucking puzzle game, don't make me do the same sloppy 1st pers jumps a bunch of times in a row after i figure the puzzle out.

#1 complaint abt puzzle/platformers in general, esp when combined with front perspective. not far into it yet, but that closure thing on ps+ seems to get that right, jumping as game design, not player torture.

i may go back to QQ, but the jumping did frustrate me. honestly it really remind me of much Portal got right

ok so...bought 5 more games on the cheap yesterday:

motorstorm:apocalypse
uncharted 1
uncharted 2
enslaved
3d dot game heroes

no i havent bought wipeout hd yet, and for that i apologize

any thoughts on these? only had time to play uncharted 1, and so far i really like it! manages to pull off the semi-indy funny adventure vibe without being hamfisted about it, and only had to endure one irritating timed platforming section so far. combat seems like it might suck a bit, but i am hoping that aspect is sorta downplayed in favor of tomb-raidery puzzle platforming.

oh duh and i also played the first part of enslaved, and liked what i saw, but got to that point of tired where my skills radically slip so i quit before getting much further than i did when i played the demo.
