Absolutely none of the things you hate are in BF3. It is a really fun game that rewards different styles of play very well. I sometimes play as a medic and can get the top score in the game by focusing entirely on support with maybe a couple of kills.

J posted:I've got a few friends bugging me to pick up BF3 but I'm really picky about FPS games and I've never played a battlefield game before. I really like counterstrike and MAG, and really dislike COD and COD clones. "Probably". It hits things in both categories but it's much closer to MAG than CoD. You should've played the open beta like everyone else.

Do people still play a lot of MAG? Especially goons? It seems pretty cool.

If I subscribe to PSN+, is there a monthly option? I only need it to back up saves and would rather not shell out for 3.

There is no monthly option. The lowest price for Playstation Plus is $18 for 3 months. If someone is very nice, they could give you a 30-day trial from either the Infamous 2 or Uncharted 3 PS3 bundles. If you do get it, don't forget to cancel auto-renewal in the PS+ service in Account Management. It's turned on by default.

I figured. Thanks for the information and the heads up about auto-renew. I guess I just need to back up the saves, delete my stored account info, and send it on off to the great Gamestop in the sky...

Amazon is doing it too and just included Uncharted 3.  Hopefully they extend it to next week so I can get Metal Gear.

ImpAtom posted:Hahaha. Before this they couldn't stop talking about how he was a "younger" Dante and that totally explained everything and it was a prequel. Now it's totally an alternate dimension guys. (Please stop hating our design.) I'm pretty sure the Ninja Theory guys have come out and stated that their original design for the game was a Dante-rear end Dante but Capcom told them to change it up more.

muscles like this? posted:I'm pretty sure the Ninja Theory guys have come out and stated that their original design for the game was a Dante-rear end Dante but Capcom told them to change it up more. No, they never had a Dante-styled Dante. They blamed Kenji Inafune saying that he wanted them to change up the design but from the beginning they were doing their own things with the designs and running them past Capcom. Considering that the design they ended up with compared to the guy directing it, it doesn't really come across as Capcom being the primary visionary there. Also, considering they've changed their story over and over, I'm pretty sure most of what they say is damage control and they have no clear idea what the gently caress they're doing. I suspect they're another group of people caught in the backlash from Inafune leaving Capcom and now that he is gone there is less support for them. Edit: In fact, looking it up, they've changed their story on this too. They've said both that they started with completely weird designs at Capcom's request and that they did super-traditional Dante and then Capcom told them to change it. So yeah, Ninja Theory is basically talking out their rear end. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Nov 3, 2011 |

Actually, pretty early on they said they submitted a design to capcom that they rejected because it looked too much like normal Dante. This isn't to say that Ninja Theory was forced into the design but pretty early on before this went into major damage control they did say that Capcom rejected their first design because it just kind of looked like Dante. Let me see if I can find the link...

axleblaze posted:Actually, pretty early on they said they submitted a design to capcom that they rejected because it looked too much like normal Dante. Yeah, I looked it up. They've said both. The one you mentioned they said in an interview with IGN not long after the game was announced, and then later on they said that the starting point was something "completely different.' (This was in one of the interviews where they called it a "gritty reboot" of the franchise.) I can believe either story but I really doubt they have any sort of coherent design sense behind 'em at this point. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Nov 3, 2011 |

So uh. Can't help but notice that God Hand, and a few other PS2 games are now on the PS Store. Also I somehow got the $10 wallet bonus even though I didn't spend nearly $60 in October. Hooray Sony! Free God Hand!

I don't have nearly enough room for that game, and since the hard drive industry flooded I won't be getting it any time soon either.

I hope this does well, and apparently Free Realms did pretty good on the PS3. All I really want is an Everquest game on the PS3, but at this point that probably won't happen until the PS4.

I'm playing right now and it plays like a brawler/action RPG, but in an MMO setting, which is cool. The game was designed with a controller in mind, but not a T.V., even on my 720p HDTV, the text is small... or maybe I just need to not sit so far away from my TV. :p

THe UI was designed for consoles, but with PC appropriate sizing. So it ends up sucking for everyone.

I kind of regret doing that because I thought I was going to be somewhere else right now and now I have to wait for it, but I'm still a little excited. I'm one of the few people around these parts that actually enjoyed the beta, but I still wasn't willing to pay money for it. This works out quite well for me.

So I remember hearing around the time of the PSN outage that there were plans to include offline multiplayer in Uncharted 3. Did that end up happening or is it online only?
