Haha, yeah I used PS+ for the free month that I had it but it's nothing that I would ever, ever pay for.

So Kojima has announced that Peace Walker HD will have online co-op and it will do 60fps even with four players. Not bad.

At least about $40 a month. I spend a LOT on PSN. This is working out for me great. However, I feel that people who spend little on PSN would get the most out of it--due to discounts and free games.

I spend almost that much but still have no use for PS+. Mostly because the free games are usually garbage and the discounts are mostly for stuff that I already bought much earlier.

Ok so somewhat surprisingly it appears that Resistance 3 is actually a really good game? The review embargo seems to have been lifted today with a whole bunch of good scoring reviews appearing, as well as a video review from GameTrailers that actually makes the game look mindblowingly awesome:

GameTrailers video review

I honestly don't know what to make of it really. The singleplayer looks downright fantastic (as does the co-op) and as well as looking incredibly fun, it looks really impressive when it comes to the graphics too. My reservations are solely with the multiplayer though, which I enjoyed gameplay-wise but despised when it came to the choppy framerate and poor visuals. Seeing multiplayer footage of the retail build seems to suggest everything runs smoothly now but I'm still unsure personally.

Eh, I won't financially support any game that uses some variant of "Project Ten Dolla."

I know I keep saying this, but drat, Deus Ex is better than any game has a right to be. This is definitely going on my top ten list of best games of all time. It'll probably even supplant the original Deus Ex on that list. drat. Can't wait for the DLC.

Well I mean, it makes sense visually, but there still isn't any gameplay reason to stand up straight then. It would have been interesting if crouching when in public made people look at you like you were some kind of weirdo, but the game doesn't do that. Across the board there's basically no gameplay reason not to crouch.

Basically I think that, given that they made no effort to balance crouching vs. not crouching in the game, they should have just had one type of movement that was effectively crouching.

I'm sorry but this is the silliest complaint I've seen about a game in quite some time.

Since pretty much everyone I know said it's the best game on the PS3, I finally just started playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the first time last night. My first venture back to MGS since Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation 1. I don't think I know what I'm doing :(

What is the general consensus on the game here?

Download the MGS Database from the PSN Store. It's free and has a ton of info on anything you might wonder about. It's even cross-referenced. The best part is that you don't have to worry about spoiling MGS4 by reading it because any MGS4 specific information is locked out unless you have a cleared MGS4 save.

Atlus has stated in the past that they'll keep renewing the end date for the servers as long as there's still a sizable amount of people playing. Whether that number will drop significantly when Dark Souls hits is anyone's guess.

Edit: And it is Atlus running the NA servers(and I think the EU ones as well). Whoever kept insisting that From Software runs the servers is tragically misinformed.

You download your PS3 games and play them on a PS3 running CFW don't you? That might be why you're getting a bad framerate and stuff since I don't recall the game having those issues back when I played the retail version.

It's not all the time, just in the intro. It seems fine now. I just did the thing with zeke.

Question... deflected. :c00l:

I've seen a couple of reviews of the Team Ico Collection that mention that Shadow of the Colossus is now "finally" able to be played in 16:9. I'd just like to point out that the PS2 version does, in fact, have a 16:9 option. Someone obviously doesn't use their options screens, apparently.

You don't know that my time is limited, and archaic HD remakes with no effort paid to fixing something as simple as controls just don't vie well for my time.

I turn 34 in a month, so don't use your age as an excuse. I'm not saying that the controls are perfect but given that it's one of the most beloved games of all time, the controls aren't as bad as you're making them out to be. If you don't give the game another shot, you'll really be missing out.

You know, the fact that these PS2 Classics are clearly emulated (they even call up the PS2 BIOS) in much the same manner as the PS1 Classics makes me think that Sony has clearly figured out a way to make all PS3s backward compatible but they'd rather just sell us the games again. I don't mind so much for rare games like the ones released so far but it'll be interesting to see if they throw a system update for full backward compatibility or if they just try to sell us the entire PS2 catalog a few games at a time.
