General games discussion thread

Man, this outage is a monumental PR disaster for Sony. I can't even imagine how angry the publishers/developers are at this point.

Especially Valve.

I wonder when they expect PSN to be back up?macrules_640

It's not that long to wait. Go outside or something. ktulu007

I don't have a problem with it either, it's just an inconvenience that's all.macrules_640

It's still good to be able to play with friends offline, but seriously I need to update my trophies!macrules_640

It's now ruining game development for some games.

In short that link states people are trading in their PS3s for cash or 360s.

This is getting more serious, I wish people realize that there are serious online gamers out there, and I know this because I play online too.

Seriously, have they ever heard of singleplayer before? Or local multiplayer? I've a feeling they'll regret selling their PS3s for a 360 sooner or later.

I also have some singleplayer myself but honestly I prefer local multiplayer myself sometimes. It's a great way to play with my younger brother and sisters. :D

i'm trying to look online for a very cheap Black Ops for X360 (in decent condition)

I'm fine with PSN being down as well since I rely on my PC for more of my online anyway.macrules_640

You should. To me it's a waste of money since it's the same old thing. I hope the new CoD gets cancelled or something but chances of that are really low.... :P 

Speaking of CoD...

third one (speaking within the Modern Warfare universe, of course) will depict an invasion of New York. y not boston?

EDIT: Looks like Berlin, London, and Paris will become warzones...unfortunately, my opinion of Activision is too low for me to get excited over this.

Battlefield is better than COD.

It doesn't come out every year, it's harder to play, better graphics,  the maps are big, it's well balanced mostly, great vehicles, destruction on buildings and terrain is awesome and with the high player count it feels like real war.

The 3 reasons COD sell is heavy marketing, it's brand name is popular and it's easy to get into compared to other FPSs. As long as people buy it they will never stop making them. 

It's funny how I see so much hate for COD and it sells millions, I think we are the minority.

I have yet to play any of those games.

Oh well.

It's maybe because we still prefer the good old classics like Doom, Duke Nukem, and Medal Of Honor. ;)macrules_640

I'm enjoying Valkyria Chronicles so much I didn't even remember about the PSN. :P I'll probably update it in a day or so....if I do know when it'll back on in Asia.koolkat14
