DLC "season pass" announced for Uncharted 3.

Because I don't care about skins at all and I don't know how much the map packs are going to cost on their own, I'm not sure if this is a good deal.

If there was any single-player content I would be all over that. I don't play enough Uncharted multi to pay $25. I payed for map packs for 2 and I can count on one hand how many times I played it.

I honestly don't give a poo poo about their profits, and it's not my job to give a poo poo. Attacking my wallet earns them no sympathy from me. Anyone who defends the games industry doing this but has ever bought a used CD, DVD, textbook, clothing, car, etc. is a hypocrite.

Edit: That rant is not directed at you specifically; it's just some frustration that's been building up at people rolling over on this.

I have bought used games, cds, dvds, and cars. I also realize that if I buy a used game or rent a game I potentially will not be able to play multiplayer unless I pay an extra charge. Can you explain to me how this makes me a hypocrite because I agree with the charge?

You have to remember that Unchartered 2 is probably considered one of the best games ever made. There is no way a sequel could not to be like this.

Hahah okay then. loving Activision.

If it had been like $25 or maybe $30 I would've considered buying it, so I could do LAN games with my two PS3s. Not that I have friends, mind you, but the idea is appealing. Maybe I could train one of my cats to use a DS3.

That trailer has made me worried for Mass Effect 3, now that it's starting to set in. I love ME1 and 2, but i'm concerned about ME3 after seeing the kind of direction that Bioware has been going in the last year. They've slowly been integrating into EA, and are no longer their own company anymore. Bioware is basically in name only now. They are really just EA Games.

Just like Origin, Mythic, and Westwood before it. I hate to use a Star Trek reference but EA is the loving Borg.

It will be quite interesting to see how Metal Gear Rising performs commercially though once it's released, since I imagine it will either bomb terribly or sell millions, with no middleground between the two. Hopefully Kojima lets them make a Zone of the Enders 3 if it sells well though.

This is what I am interested in seeing. I was put off by the trailer at first. I kept thinking that this is not a Metal gear game. How dare they. Then I realized that Raiden isn't Solid Snake and he just does things differently. The trailer wasn't so bad to me after that. A little over the top but that should be expected from Platinum. I still think the game will fail horribly though because people won't see past it and there will be no middle ground. This is strictly a pass/fail game.

So I just got Dead Island for Christmas, and I'm having some troubles. I am running it with all the latest patches, but I am getting a lot of brief audio cut outs and the occasional pop and crackle. More concerning however is that the game itself can hitch up for a second or two, and usually right in the middle of a multi-zombie ambush. This usually results in me getting jumped.

Is the PS3 version just not up to par, or is it a problem with my PS3? I tried doing some research online, but its inconclusive.. some people report having similar problems while others say they have no such problems.

I rented it and never hadany problems, at least any I noticed. The game is poo poo though. Throw it away and cut off all ties to the person who gave it to you.

My brother is in Tokyo this week, and I was wondering if there's anything I should have him pick up for games? Something that would be in the $20 - $30 range. Probably no RPGs, or text heavy games since I don't understand the language. I just think it would be fun to have him bring back a Japanese exclusive PS3 title or something. :) And of course there's the Japanese candy!

He could bring back a couple copies of Ragnarok Odyssey for Vita and make a couple of bucks off of us. Its $90 to import which is ridiculous. If he does this first dibs.

I started Uncharted 3 today and, it's okay. It's not bad but I'm getting tired of climbing all over. It's lacking something but I can't tell what. I just don't feel blown away like in 2. Hopefully it gets better past the first few hours. Online seems interesting.

Unfortunately it won't. Since 2 is one of my favorite games of all time I went into 3 knowing there is no way it will reach 2's status for me but I didn't expect it to miss the mark this much. The tanker stages was the nail in the coffin for me. I couldn't go past that. I'm sure I will return to it eventually so I can see what happens with the story but the gameplay has killed any desire to do so right now. I couldn't even make it to the plane crash shown in the pre-release trailers for crying out loud.
