The Official PS3 thread

Goddammit not a single store has RoF right now, the most common answer I got was check back around 2PM for another shipment, and of course lamestop says today is just the shipping date. Fucking bullshit.

[King9999]

So how’s that RoF guys?

I’ll let you know in a few hours when my store gets it.

Man, the only thing worse than waiting for a game for weeks/months is waiting for a game on the day it’s supposed to be in. :shake: Oh well, I have faith that I will get RoF today.

I feel the same way, I was so excited to play it. The wait is excruciating.

[Stuart_Hayden]

So far.

Just got Apollo’s bow.
Fighting Poseidon was awesome. He had a really cool and unique look to him.
I loved the fact it gave Poseidon’s view of him getting his shit kicked in. Although my favorite part of the boss fights is usually near the end when Kratos just goes beast mode on them.

Kind of lame how they went about draining Kratos’ powers though. River of Styx? Really? I mean, yeah, they were pretty faithful to what Sty actually does but the way Kratos lost his powers in GoW II was a lot more creative so I guess I had higher hopes.

Good game so far.

Yeah that’s pretty brutal. I got my copy of FFXIII on release day and had to wait until about 4 days later for my PS3 to come in the mail. That was pretty rough too. I had a 360 but I just figured I’d get it on the PS3 since I was getting one anyways.

Been MIA on this thread lately due to getting a PS3 finally and FFXIII. Trying to think of what game I want to play next, I’m thinking Valkyria Chronicles, Heavy Rain, GoW3, or MGS4.

ModNation Racers is coming May 25: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6253652.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1

Sony and United Front’s highly customisable driving game ModNation Racers is set for a May 25 release date, according to the US Playstation blog. The European Playstation blog followed up the American announcement with confirmation that the release in PAL territories should be the same week, but did not commit to a specific date.

ModNation Racers allows players to build and customise race tracks, racers and vehicles as well as share them with others using the Playstation Network. Billed by Sony as as the spiritual successor to LittleBigPlanet, it features a similar focus on user-generated and shared content, and is the second title to carry the Play, Create, Share tagline.

The US blog also announced pre-order bonuses; early pledges will be rewarded with access to a select Sony character depending on the retailer of choice. Drivers will be able to give Kratos a break from vengeance to tear up the racetrack by reserving at GameStop, reunite plucky Lombax Ratchet and his mechanical sidekick Clank through Amazon or give Nathan Drake a chance to show off his half-tuck on the race track with a Best Buy pre-order.

There is no mention of similar bonuses for European gamers as yet, but Sonys track record with pre-order incentives for customers outside the US may provide some hope. European players of last year’s hit Uncharted 2 were treated to golden weapons, a currency multiplier and revenge perk for multiplayer, which were originally available exclusively as pre-order bonuses in the US.

I can’t wait for this game. I should start drawing up some track designs ahead of time. No doubt someone will recreate tracks from the Mario Kart games.

[FallingEdge]

RoF won’t come in until tomorrow for me. Boourns.

cant wait for this game

[Mr.Noodle]

Would you believe I haven’t beat it once yet? I’m so focused on doing side quests,getting locker keys,raising Haruka’s trust level and completing mini games on my first play through. I finished the 3 gambling games,darts & fishing in Ryukyu. Can someone who has played golf in Yakuza 3 or any golf game explain to me how to get the ball in the hole lol?!!? I have never played a golf game in my life. I know how to set strength and get the perfect on the shot meter but how do I work with the spin of the ball and wind direction to get it in?

I think I’m 12-13 hours into Yakuza 3 and I’m only on Chapter 5. What you gotta do to raise Haruka’s trust level?

[Sonicabid]

I’ve been having Haruka tag along with me sometimes when I go out and do random shit, but I’m not sure if that’s been raising my trust level with her at all. Do you get anything out of raising it?

I only just left Ryukyu, with 19 sub-stories done already with two in limbo (the 7 mysteries of downtown Ryukyu. One can only be done at night, the other has to do with this necklace I bought though I’m not sure how to activate that quest.) I get distracted so easily from the main story, mostly from the sub-stories and locker keys. I’ve messed with some of the mini-games, but they feel a lot more complicated in comparison to the mini-games in the first two games. I’m gonna mess around in the arcade now that I’m in Kamurocho when I find it, but my main goal in my first playthrough is to do as many sub-stories as possible while finding as many keys as I can. I’m gonna try to not get distracted by the mini-games too much.

Resonance of Fate Review:

Resonance of Fate review

Seems like the game is either quite challenging or the reviewer isn’t that great with the battle system.

[Gasaraki]

I’m told what they did is make every battle hard and you simply get a full restore after every battle. So each fight is potentially life threatening. I prefer this anyway actually, Last Remnant was the same way

Edit: fuck YES wal-mart got it in!

[AkumaTX]

final fantasy is also the same way

[King9999]

Ugghhhh…VGP didn’t get the game today. :sad: Neither did EB Games…both stores were expecting the game today. I hope there aren’t any shenanigans going on.

[P.Gorath]

Went to Best Buy, Target, two Gamestops and an indie game store and nobody had RoF. So much for impulse buy.

[Gasaraki]

Edit: fuck YES wal-mart got it in!

Fucking bitch lied to me. Damnit now I have to wait a whole day!

[AlterGenesis]

I need to be rocking some Reanbell.

=(

[ViciousSLASH]

No one had it, I got FF13 anyway. Made it to Gran Pulse and am running around getting killed by monsters from the Mist. I’ll just pick up RoF tomorrow or something.

shits hard. gotta farm pretty hard at that point, but i didn’t give a shit. walking around gran pulse is one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever seen in a video game. when you take a step back and just look at what’s going on at any given time, it looks vibrant and alive and completely independent of everything you are doing. i only wish it was bigger.

Yeah if you want the best grinding in Gran Pulse this is the way to do it.
