All of these reasons are why I like digital downloads. I wish the PS3 offered more of them at the time a new game launches.

I don't mind Amazon, because most of the poo poo I pre-order is either standard edition, or a game nobody cares about. If I didn't have to deal with GameStop/EB Games specifically, and all of their dumb pre-order pushes and "new" game practices, I'd be fine with, and would probably prefer, buying at a brick-and-mortar shop.

With the PS store that has the same problem with waiting for UPS though: I have no idea when it's going to arrive but rest assured it will be much later then if I just drove to the store.

The base game is really cheap but they make their money off of selling booster packs. Haven't gotten a chance to try it out myself, but I'm not a big fan of TCGs. I might pick it up as a free download thanks to PS+, but otherwise I don't think I'll play it much.

You can apparently 100% the game without spending a dime past the initial purchase. Single player seems to give cards, and playing in online ranked matches gives a wider variety of cards and rare cards. If you lose a bunch of online games, you might have to buy more 'tickets' to keep playing online ranked. This is all gleaned from GameFAQs posts I just checked through though, but it should be accurate enough.

I never got past the first level in Demon Souls, yet here I am thinking of if I should buy Dark Souls. I'll probably wait for the price to come down though due to other games coming out soon.

I love how they keep updating it all the time too and going back to try and play something as inferior as Forza is downright painful in comparison. I can't wait to see what the Spec 2 update and DLC release this month contains  I'm also hoping that when Uncharted 3 launches the game skyrockets into the top 5 of the PSN too. The early access multiplayer is fantastic

 PS2 games are up in the Playstation Store The price is $9.99 each. Chrono Trigger is also $9.99. If anyone here buys Chrono Trigger or the PS2 games, can you give a small performance review? Stuff like if loading times are the same as the disc version, or if the game slows down when it's not suppose to. I'm interested in some of the games, but I don't want to play something that ends up worse than the original disc version. Yechezkel fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Oct 4, 2011 |

I got all the fruit according to the map but the trophy still didn't unlock. Unless it's counting the fruit at the very top of the temple. There's also a lizard location FAQ on GameFAQs which proves that someone out there has the time and patience to do the poo poo that you don't want to. Namely scour the world looking for lizards. Hopefully I only have 10 or so left. Tune in next time for more news about my Shadow of the Colossus

And the controls are exactly as bad as I choose to make them out to be, because it's *me* making that judgement for MY playtime. They were horrid and gently caress that game. That is all.

I'm not claiming I'm not being overly harsh on the game. But I got nothing but overly harsh critical judgements to give out in my limited gametime. Especially when so many awesome games are starting to flood the market. Rerelease a game and leave rear end-faced controls in it = Not worthy of my dollar or my time. If dev can't be bothered, neither can I.

I have had it since it was out on the PS2 and after I beat it the first time, I only had the desire to play through maybe 3 or 4 colossi. Edit: Also, jesus loving christ, some of you are defending the game as if its your family. Even on release, there were criticisms complaining about the controls.

I loved SOTC and kinda liked Ico back in the day but for some reason I just can't really muster up the effort to actually play them again. In the past 3 times I've turned Ico on I've maybe gotten 15 minutes worth of progression because I just get tired or bored or confused about it.

It's one of those games you have to get in the mood to play. It's certainly not something you can just pick up and play. Considering you have to put some time into it. I mostly play SOTC when I'm stressed out. The music is kinda soothing. Yeah I know.. stressed out, on SOTC. The bosses don't really stress me out as much because I tend to think, well that's what I get for hanging onto a boss for so drat long.
