So I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but I kinda like the Darkness 2 demo. Pretty fun. Solid mechanics. Good art.

So are some games sending out advertisements? I just got a message from a friend that said something along the lines of, "I'm using autolog from Burnout Crash that keeps track of my status and lets people know what I'm doing in the game! You should check out Burnout Crash in the Playstation Store!" Now is this something that person could've chosen to send out to people, or was it automatically generated by the game?

A lot of EA games have built-in messaging functionality like that.

To answer your question, your friend chose to send it, it wasn't just automatic.

Today I bought several new PS3 games for about $3 a piece, among other games for other platforms, at a local Shopko. For whatever reason, they were having a clearance on select few titles that they only had one copy of each. The PS3 games in question were Heavy Rain, God of War III, Kung Fu Rider, Modnation Racers, and Super Street Figher IV, with Kung Fu Rider costing $2 instead of $3 and they had two copies left when I was done. Check your local retail stores regularly for good deals, especially if you know it's a place where people don't buy video games from. The last time my local Shopko had a great deal on stuff that cheap was when they were clearancing PSX memory cards for $1 a piece when the PS2 took over. Also, is Kung Fu Rider really that bad? Everything I've read says it is, but I don't have a Move to verify it myself (but I figured for $2 I wasn't losing much). jabro posted:You know that saying when someone gets really screwed over the other person didn't use lube? Well the store didn't use lube but did use a condom..... made of sandpaper. I guess that explains why they had more copies of it than the other games, and at a lower price point.

homeless snail posted:That's assuming you can't just use the memory card adapter on a PC, I dunno if that works or not. You can actually do this. Requires some generic 32-bit windows usb driver and only works with PS1 memory cards. Also the only instructions I've ever seen about it weren't in English. ...I didn't have a very fun time when I did this a year or two ago.

I already plat'd Heavy Rain, but I would buy it again for $3 in a heartbeat to replay it one last time with the Move functionality.

I am debating whether I should just play the rest of AC2 or pick up Uncharted 3 for the weekend. My 50 something film professor kept talking about how excited she was completing Uncharted 2 and starting Uncharted 3 that it's making me jones real bad. I said I would buy it when there is a price drop but now I kinda want it now. Is the online community worth buying the game now at full price?

Yakuza 4 is in the mail, I have absolutely no idea what to expect. For 12 bucks and all the goon-gasming in this thread I don't think I can miss, though.

I am of the opinion that the single player is worse than Uncharted 2, though. So if youre a online kind of guy, then go for it, you wont be disappointed.

Shalinor posted:I see 18.49, or in the other sellers, one 12.99 non-prime + 4.99 shipping == $18 anyways. Is Amazon telling you 12.99 flat-out, free shipping? Oh, I hadn't thought about shipping. So I guess it is closer to 18 bucks. That's still not a bad deal, considering all the praise people seem to be giving the game. Anywho, I was just reposting it for Housh in case he missed it, since I assumed it was where everyone else was buying it. Additionally, I have a general question. I've heard Yakuza doesn't have US dubbed voiceacting and that it's entirely subtitled, is that true? Probably not going to affect my choice about buying the game or not, just curious about what to expect when I finally order it alongside my new PS3 this friday.

The dubbing of the first game was really jarring. "I'm in Japan and everybody speaks fluid English, just like Tokyo Drift!" On the other hand, I had no problem with the dubbing of Shenmue. v  v

I like Yakuza subtitled too, it's just that I've never really taken Sega of America's approach to it as anything other than "we'll go broke on it if we dub it!" Shenmue's dubbing was acceptable because Ryo Hazuki's voice actor owned.

I actually probably need to put more time into the Uncharted 3 multiplayer, because whenever I play, time seems to fly by. I wouldn't take too much offense. But it's kind of an astute observation. Nearly every time UC3 gets brought up, you're there stating your dislike for the Single Player. I just chuckled at it. Multiplayer is cool aside from the fact that you get paired up with Legacy-rear end Rape Machines. It puts a damper on the fun.

to be fair though. Uncharted 3 is easily the worst Uncharted single player-wise. If it didn't have that Uncharted name (and my expectation that it'd get better), I probably wouldn't have bothered completing it.

Uncharted 3's single player is a lot of fun, but some of the climbing sections are obnoxiously linear. I honestly would have preferred a QTE, but even better would be more ACreed-esque climbing. They also took away control in a key moment in the last 15 minutes that I thought was very disappointing. It's certainly worth playing, though.

I haven't really got into any Move game in a big way yet, but I bought KFR on a whim when it was cheap in Game (I think I paid £10) hoping to get some value out of my expensive bit of kit. Seriously, if you only have KFR to play, don't invest in a Move controller for it. You will be disappointed. And lose all hope that Move will ever take off. And pray that they patch in content that allows you to use the controller as a Samurai sword to destroy the horrific characters in it. Awful game.

Go back in time and play Way of the Samurai 1 for PS2. Or use your PS2. WOTS3 is okay only if you're a fan of the series. There's a lot of technical badness (slowdown into the range of 1-2 FPS for some event fights). WOTS2 was an improvement, so it will be hard to play WOTS after playing the second one.
