Anyone else watching the VGA’s? I tuned in for the Uncharted 3 trailer, and I should have just waited for it to hit the net. God this show is awful (as I expected) I mean no one in the audience seems to care about any of the games being shown, the presenters don’t seem to care about being there, and even the jokes are god awful. Guillermo Del Toro has been the most interesting thus far, and half his speech was bleeped out lol.
I got a $20 PSN card as part of my Secret Santa gift this year. I ask, viewers/posters of the PS3 thread, what should I buy?
I watched the VGAs for the ridiculously hot show gals and for SSX and Uncharted 3. Good thing I tuned in during the last 30 mins. I was able to catch both teasers and didn’t have my time wasted. Much.
The rest of them I can just check online.
The exclusives coming out next year are fucking mindblowing.
2011 is the year of the PlayStation.
Uncharted 3 ALONE, wins it.
That’s been pretty much every year in terms of exclusives lol.
This beastly game comes out next year november. Latest trailer.

If you have GT5, join the GT Academy.
Even if you are not that good, at least I’m sure you will get a free car out of it.
My Playseat will be here Wednesday, so I can get serious with it.
I was playing DC Universe Online Beta all morning, shit is good. It’s an MMO, but you actually to the fighting, not auto attack.
The world is fucking huge.
I’m definitely buying it, but don’t know how long I will pay $15 per month to play it. Maybe 3 months max.
Game already looks done, and there’s still another 9 or so months to polish it. I’ll probably go into a coma when they reveal the multiplayer trailer.
Man…Uncharted 3…just…How the fuck do the graphics look…better? HOW?
Then theres Arkham City…
God SSX is back…
2K11 is going to pwn the shit out my wallet…it’s going to be a blood bath. This is not good.
LOL. Yeah. So many of the jokes bombed. I caught the UC3 trailer by miracle just tuning back and forth between channels. I’m avoiding reruns like the plague.
But DAMN. You know that Arkham City trailer is souped up. No way that can be the actual game. It took me a minute to realize that was CG.
And Uncharted 3? Can’t wait. 2K11 is poised to do more damage to my wallet than '09 did to celebrities.
Fuck a monthly payment…I refuse to pay for anything regarding online gameplay but internet access. Mmo’s can go to hell for THAT shit.
You sure? Because what I saw wasn’t ANYTHING like SSX. No shitty reboots. No shitty reboots. No shitty reboots…
Anyone know the name of the song that played during the Red Dead Redemption performance? I didn’t catch it from the beginning but it sounded amazing.
That’s one thing that interests me, of course. I always require fully real-time action. Anything less is unacceptable. However, I’m hesitant to support this kind of business model in the console side of the industry. I know PC gamers rolled over and accepted that bullshit a long time ago, but that’s on them. It’s such a frustrating dilemma though, because the game otherwise looks like something I could play for years. To repeatedly pay for 1 game though…ehhhhh
Wait, what? MMO monthly fees provide support, data security, development (I don’t remember the last time new content wasn’t added in freely in an MMO, wholly separate to expansions). For most MMOs, it pays for a team to babysit the game and respond to its users in a timely manner as well. A lot of the features it pays for are often overlooked, but MMOs are a whole different breed of creature. There are F2P MMOs, but they all have microtransactions anyway, and it just allows people to pay their way to the top of the game for the most part. If there’s an MMO business model that I dislike, it’s that one.
IMO, there’s tons of stuff that you get back for your money. Sure, maybe the money could be lower (I was fond of the 10/mo price point, felt that was fair enough, all things considered), but at the end of the day, they’re there to make money. Besides, IMO if you have an XBL Gold account, I don’t understand how you can condemn paying for MMOs.
^Truth.
You get faster responses after reporting problems. Also, glitches/balance/update changes are patched MUCH more frequently than in other online games.
Konami’s X-Men comes out this week guys =)
Gonna buy me a psn cash card and get some stuff, I think I’ll get shatter now and Space invaders.
They need to make some other options too.
I would prefer a time buy, like pay per time used not just a recurring monthly bill.
$15-Unlimited time
$10-for 20 hours and let the time rollover for 90 days.
Something like that.
I could see the game starting off big, but like I said everybody ain’t going to pay $15 every month to play.
I’m not saying MMOs aren’t worth paying for, but when you are on a recurring subscription, you feel obligated to play even when you don’t feel like it.
I played WOW for a few months years ago, but canceled because I felt forced to play because of the monthly bill. If you could just buy time, I would still play it at my own pace.
One thing that is especially crappy though is that there is apparently NO offline option at all. If all you do is pay the 59.99 for the game…then it was completely a waste of time and money since you won’t be able to play it unless you pay again and continue to pay each month. It surprises me that many gamers out there are apparently fine with this lack of an offline option. So…the 60 bucks was just the “take the game disc home” fee, I suppose? That money didn’t cover anything else but taking the game itself home. You can’t even play it until you start paying a subscription fee, and that’s bull, imo.
Phantasy Star Universe is not a true MMO (for those that like to be picky about which game fits into what genre), but it’s a somewhat similar concept (action RPG that can be played online with other folks if you choose to do so…online content has a regular monthly fee attached and it was updated often)— it had the monthly fee, BUT…you had the option of still being able to play the game without paying that fee. The game still works perfectly fine in an offline capacity. To me, this is a more acceptable business model— they’re still allowing the customer to make a choice here…either play offline OR choose to pay the monthly fee so you can get the online content and play with other people. To force extra fees on the customer instead of giving them the option…that’s just an asshole move, imo. It’s a smart way to get as much money as possible out of the players, but it’s something I hope does not catch on with other game companies and other types of games.
Besides all this…the game itself does look awesome though.
Yeah the trailer I saw and the title of it sounds like they’re trying to make it edgy and appeal to the CoD crowd.
