That's good to know. It's currently going through the install process on my PS3. I can't possibly afford to dedicate 5+ hours a day to any game, so a more casual game might just be perfect.

TV's on the first floor. PC's on the third floor. I know that it could technically be done but it's not worth the effort.

First off, I know I'm in the minority but I prefer the PS3 controller. I don't dislike the 360 controller, but if I were to have my choice I'd go with the PS3. I guess you'd have to see my place to understand. I have a very specific nook above my fireplace that fits my TV with about a quarter...

Patient is one thing, but I'm not going to wait a decade to play God of War 3. I absolutely recognize that PC gaming will trump console gaming in the graphics department every single time. If I have the option to get an FPS for PS3 or PC I'll go PC every time. I would never play an RTS on a...

I'm pretty sure that you can add movies to your queue on the PS3. And while I'll agree that the selection of streaming titles is small relative to the entire Netflix library, unless you consume movies at an insane rate I wouldn't rule out the physical discs. The streaming is more of a supplement...

I wouldn't call anybody a pussy for playing it on normal, but if you're playing it on normal you can't really knock it for not being difficult. I played my first playthrough on titan difficulty and died hundreds of times. There were fights near the end of the game that were damn near impossible...

I think your magic needs to be at like 10 or 12. Or maybe your intelligence. Something like that. Anyway, check out the wiki linked further up in this thread. That'll answer every question you have about Demon's Souls and more.

What difficulty? If you're talking Titan (or whatever equates to "Hard", then either you're amazing or I'm terrible. I played my first playthrough on Titan and I died a couple hundred times, and I feel like I'm pretty good at the game.

I can't say that I've ever been called a troll before. Just because someone voices an opinion that doesn't match yours doesn't make them a troll. I thought my comment was perfectly reasonable. Your comment about politics seemed way out of left field, and it seems perfectly reasonable for stores...

Yeah, it's pretty silly for people to care about politics. What people should really care about are the policies and pricing of video game stores. And for all the people who are pissed because a store checked their ID: "how old do I look?" doesn't cut it. Not that they're equal, but if you went...

You, sir, are out of your mind.

I agree with you. The alternate weapons in 3 are easily the best of the series. I just get confused when people say the other 2 (or I guess 2 specifically) didn't have any useful weapons other than the chains. Did those people ever play with a fully upgraded sword of olympus, because that thing...

Is it true that there's now NG+ mode in God of War 3? I was reading something the other day that tossed that off casually in the middle of the article. It seems odd not to include that, especially since I know the second game did. Also, each and every review I've seen so far has talked about...

I'll admit, MGS4 is the first MGS game I've played. That said, 30 minute cutscenes are unacceptable. I haven't played a single game that has told a story that is worth that. Maybe the story would have made sense if I had played the first 3, but a game is not a movie. Games can have cutscenes (I...

Good to know. I guess I just assumed that since the game had already been released the DLC would be available. Edit: Wow, that's definitely not the post I meant to quote. Not sure how that happened. And while I don't agree that all PC purists are elitist, the guy above certainly sounded like he...

Great, so it's not just me. Hmm, now I have to figure out who to email to sort this out.

Just curious if anyone else has had this same issue that I'm having. I beat the game and realized that with my preorder I also got an exclusive skin from gamestop. So I went to the website on the card I was given, put in my code, and was told that I'd get an email with instructions telling me...

I usually play head to head online matches. So yea, FIFA 10 is fantastic.

So you're saying I should give it another go? I could just skip the cutscenes, but I just got so fed up with the game that I decided not to go back. I've finished several games since then, and I just can't bring myself to get back to MGS. I considered reselling it without finishing, but I guess...

Good call on FIFA 10, Gigantism. I don't see that game discussed nearly enough around here. It's absolutely fantastic. I just wish I could play someone online who didn't decide to play as Barcelona.

Yeah, I understand that I'm in the minority on this one. When I got my PS3 a buddy of mine insisted that I get MGS4. He said it was pretty much the greatest thing ever. Needless to say, I was hugely underwhelmed. I'm playing as an old man, but I have to watch 30 minutes of a ninja annihilating...

To the OP, I'm not going to tell you not to play the first few MGS games before playing 4, but I will say that if you haven't played the previous games the story will be unbearable. Or at least it was for me. Seriously, the cutscenes go on FOREVER an weave a needlessly complex story that could...

I dunno, I guess this is just an agree to disagree situation. I thought the last quarter of the game was just as big and epic as what came before.

I don't understand your argument at all. How is that not legit? Is it less legit than some of the ridiculously hard games of the past? One hit kills, segments in games like Battletoads that require insane reflexes and perfect memorization of a level, that's much less legit than a hard difficulty...

I just finished it as well, and I'm really not sure what Bankie was complaining about. There was one specific instance in the last 1/4 or so of the game that I can recall that confined you to a small box and threw wave after wave of enemies at you. It was frustrating, especially on hard, but I...

Disagree!! Power through, man! I can understand wanting to go for the biggest, flashiest, latest game, but 2 is excellent, and it's not like the third one is going anywhere. It'll be there when you finish 2.

I take it you don't play very often. I guess I can understand, but you should definitely go back and play the first two after you beat 3. The first is an excellent game, the second isn't as epic (Pandora's Temple is one of the greatest levels ever designed, and it takes up basically the entire...

I guess if you just want to get to 3 that's fine, but 2 is a damn fine game. I'd recommend playing it first.

I just got to the point that was featured in the demo, and it's nice to see how different the final game is to the demo. Different weapons, different enemies, different situations. Not only that, but it's amazing how much better it looks than the demo. It seemed to me that the smoke and fire...

Every time I see this I'm baffled. I couldn't disagree more. And when people say it's too small and feels like a children's toy I always wonder: what kind of giant monster are you? I know some hardcore gamers tend to be...larger, so maybe that's it. And I'm not trying to say anything about...

Yeah, you get other weapons as you go. The first had one alternate weapon and the second had three alternate weapons, so I don't see how you were restricted (though I didn't think the sword in the first one was very useful). I thought both the spear and the sword of olympus in the second game...

Yes, FIFA 10 is absolutely fantastic. My only issue is that I mostly play online. Tottenham's my team, and everyone I play picks Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, or Chelsea. I can understand wanting to play as a good team, but I'd like to see some variety. That said, I've also...

I'm about an hour, hour and a half in. Still just working with the chains, but I feel like they've changed the combat just enough to keep it fresh.I wouldn't expect a complete overhaul (that would be insane for a combat system as effective as the one in GoW), but the addition of the long...

Hmm, I guess I was thinking that The Show was EA's MLB game. And shame on them for not making one. They cover every other major sport, and that's our national past time for cyring out loud!

I don't see how that price is "jacked up." When it came out a new copy would've cost you $39.99. A new copy now costs $29.99. $19.99 for a used copy sounds about right.

I guess it depends on your taste in games. For me a good single player campaign is like a good movie. I can play it multiple times and still enjoy it. Other than that, sports games are always good for replayability. I personally like FIFA 10, but if soccer's not your bag the latest Madden...

As others have said: Uncharted 1 and 2 Little Big Planet God of War Collection Demon's Souls Infamous I'd add: FIFA 10 (if you like soccer, of course). Ninja Gaiden Sigma Katamari Forever And I know I'm generally the odd man out on this one, but I thought MGS4 was HUGELY...

Speaking of GoW reviews, I was perusing Gamespy earlier and noticed they haven't put out a review yet. Seems odd that every other major publication and gaming site has a review up. They're the odd man out, it would seem. I wonder why they would decide to wait until release day when no one else...

You are in for a treat, my friend. :)

Seconded. It sounds from your original post that you want a PS3. Both are good systems, get the one with the games you want. As far as PSN goes, I'm not familiar with Live but I play FIFA 10 online on the PS3 all the time and have never had any issues, so it seems reliable to me. It may lack...
