Anyone know if Bethesda fixed most of the issues plaguing the PS3 version of Fallout 3? I have the game on PC and was curious as to how well it played on the PS3. I was going to grab it on Amazon for $8, but after reading some of the things people have said about this version of the game I may reconsider.

From what I hear, the original non-GOTY version is great because they actually spent a little time on the port to fix issues, and patches and stuff. Then they released the GOTY edition that includes all the DLC, but they didn't use the original PS3 version, they just straight ported it from the X360 version so it runs like rear end on the PS3. So, the answer is apparently to by the original vanilla Fallout 3, and download the DLC, instead of getting the GOTY edition.

Yea, it's the non-goty edition for. That's cool.

The DLC introduced its own issues. If you can, buy the PC version instead, it's a lot more stable.

Yea, I've got it on PC, but I was still interested in how the console versions played. I have put well over 300 hours into it on PC and was looking for a new way to play the game.

I'm grabbing Uncharted 3 off of amazon and thought why not? It's only 8 bucks.

I heard nothing but negative things about the first one. Am I missing something?

It's actually one of my favorite FPS games of all time. I hope they give us the ability to upgrade guns with scopes, barrels, etc.

The DLC for the game was also some of the best DLC I've ever played.

I must be missing something, but is there any way to organize your games? Maybe put them in different folders so you don't have to scroll all the way down to find the game/demo you want to play? I tried pressing triangle and messing with options but I can't seem to make new folders.

Really looking forward to the F2P relaunch of KZ3 multiplayer. It wasn't perfect, but it was fairly fun for a while, and it probably has the best Move implementation I've seen in an FPS yet. Wonder if they've nerfed it at all? I was headshotting people with HMGs from across the map with all assists disabled last time.

Is this the reason why I always hear bad things about KZ3 multiplayer? I would think people using a move controller would get a pretty unfair advantage versus people with regular controllers.

Though I may be overestimating the accuracy of the move.

Get used to that feeling. Uncharted 2 has its problems, but I think "drat that was cool" is the perfect one sentence review for that game.

Yea, I just finished 2 for the 4th time yesterday and will be starting 3 soon. This is the first series that I actively went out of my way to get all the trophies.

I also was completely surprised at how much fun the multiplayer can be. At first, I thought it was just a gimmick thrown into the game, but now it's actually one of the best multiplayer games I've played on a console.

Yakuza 3 and 4 are both excellently executed contemporary RPGs that never forget they're a video game. Both have tons of things to do to keep your occupied and lots of brutal moves to destroy chumps with. Extremely sentimental and fun.

I've always wanted to get into the Yakuza series, but I never thought they were RPGs? I may have to look further into them if that's the case.

There's leveling, unlockable moves, equippable weapons and armor, stat-altering items, fetch quests, and side missions. They're always miscast as "Japan's answer to GTA" when, in reality, it's and JRPG with a Brawler's combat system.

How bad are the frame drops for ME3? I've been hearing anywhere from "it's not that bad" to "this poo poo is unplayable". I'm actually considering grabbing ME3 for PS3 since most of my friends play on consoles these days, but I don't want to torment myself too much.

I've been playing Enslaved this week and am surprised at how good the game is. Not only does it look absolutely gorgeous, but the combat is much better than I expected and the voice acting is terrific. I was really disappointed in finding out they won't be making a sequel since it apparently sold too few copies.

Best 8 bucks I ever spent.

Yeah seriously what? Honestly I suspect that Sony won't even be in the home console market for the next generation, that's how little I know about a supposed PS4.

How bad is their video game division doing? Last I heard they made a decent profit in Q4 of 2010 but I can't find anymore recent info. Their stock is sitting at ~20.00, but I can't seem to find the revenue for the game division.

What should I wait for Uncharted 3 to drop down in price in, for a used copy? I really want to get it, but I don't care about the multiplayer. I'm seeing it for around $30 now though, and that seems pretty reasonable, but i'm not entirely sure?

I got mine for $50 new so $30 seems to be a great deal, especially if you have no interest in the online pass.

Is it worth buying the GOTY version of Uncharted 2 or is the multiplayer pretty dead since Uncharted 3 came out?

I was playing the mulitplayer of 2 last month just fine. As long as you don't mind playing mostly deathmatch, you should be able to find plenty of people.


e:That's the base game though. I have the DLC map packs and have never been able to find a game with those.

So I'm going through Uncharted for the first time and do these enemies ever stop coming? This is so aggravating. I get a brief moment of wandering around this island and then enemies are swarming me from every direction.

How much climbing do I get to do after the jetski part? Or more importantly, how much more shooting do I have to do after that?

How far am I into this game, why won't this shooting crap end.

Shooting bad guys and climbing poo poo is the basis of the game. If you're not having fun with those then I don't know why you're playing the series.

There are a few points that have a lot more enemies, but it never really felt too bad since I enjoyed the gunplay of the games quite a bit. They're the first 3 games I actually got platinum trophies for and I loved every minute of it.

It was quite hard in the beginning, but once you start taking a lot of pictures and finding anti-personal rounds, the splicers become more annoying than difficult. I'm still dying a lot though, a lot more than when I played it on normal.

Anybody who isn't playing Uncharted 3 multiplayer is really missing out.

It's easily one of the best multiplayer games on any console right now.

Just been playing on the newest DLC maps and they're AWESOME :D

I really liked 2's multiplayer but couldn't really get into 3. I would try it again if I wasn't already playing multiple games.

The week I actually played 3 I was getting destroyed left and right. Kind of ruined the experience for me since I actually got quite good at 2.

I think this looks cool as hell. Hopefully we'll get a 360 view of the controller to see how the triggers look.
