drahkon Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 PS+ for Vita is great. Shame that 32GB cards are so motherfucking expensive.
Sheikah Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) ....What is Zero Escape? Oh you didn't. :p It's the sequel to 999 (9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors). on the DS. But you definitely don't need to play 999 first to get this. It's basically a series that has probably the most awesome storylines to a game ever. They revolve around the 'binary game'. Basically in the first game 9 people were kidnapped, dumped inside a secured ship and told they had 9 hours to escape or else a bomb planted inside of them would explode. A little like saw in the premise. But so much deeper... in order to pass through rooms you have to solve the clues and you can only pass through rooms with certain combinations of people. Each person has their own number on a wristwatch (1 to 9). Only people with numbers adding up to 9 can leave the room - e.g. the people with numbers 1 and 8 or 1,3 and 5. The first game had brilliant twists that no one could call. You end up having to play the game more than once in order to change the outcome of the game and take different paths. The first game is too good, I'm really not doing it justice explaining it. Not that I value their opinions particularly but IGN have given it 9.5 and RPGamer 9. Shit's gonna rock, and it's only like £23 on Amazon (preorder). Edited November 13, 2012 by Sheikah
flameboy Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 They have more PS3 games at any one point, too. However, ours change more often. Shame that I have three launch games. Still, looking at the release schedule, won't they run out of games? But "they" get more games on each rotation. In other news...I somehow managed to break a controller. I dropped it off the dresser my PS3 is on. When I retrieved it the right analogue was down to the right and won't recentre or click in and doesn't work. It's like it's snapped inside off its fitting. I cannot believe how expensive they are $59.99 RRP + tax. I ended up playing $54.83 + tax unbelievable...just for reference retail games here are $59.99 + tax. Despite not really being able to afford it still got one but man urgh that's expensive. Tried to find a second hand one but with no luck in the many cash converter stores around here.

Ouch flamey that sucks mate but you had to get a replacement as we must play some more NFS: Most Wanted multiplayer.

Unlucky there, but...am I the only one with multiple controllers?
Daft Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 I have four controllers. Whenever I don't use one for ages, like a year plus, the sticks get coated with this weird sticky shit. They become unusable. Annoys the flying fuck out of me.

They become unusable. Annoys the flying fuck out of me. Oh so it isn't just me. Happened on both of my old sixaxis to the extent that I really don't want to use them. Luckily I have a newer dualshock that I always try to use. Both the old sixaxis are off center too, shitty products.
flameboy Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Unlucky there, but...am I the only one with multiple controllers? Yeah I do but play a lot of games with the missus so need two really. I did have a spare sixaxis but sold it with my broken PS3 on ebay. Ah yes, the lactating analogue sticks. Will never forget Extra Life when you revealed this to me and I went and took out the spare controller low and behold it was covered in crap.
Retro_Link Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Is there a way to create Folders for your games list in the PS3 menu? So I can tidy away my games into Full Game Downloads and Demo's etc... and also sort the order out. I don't really like having a long list of things to scroll through.

So I can tidy away my games into Full Game Downloads and Demo's etc... and also sort the order out. I don't really like having a long list of things to scroll through. Yes. Press triangle button on the item you wish to edit, choose information, and edit the 'album' name. You can choose to copy the text and paste onto all items you wish to have in the same album. You can then cycle through sort options using square button, or triangle button and then choose sort.
Retro_Link Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks! Sounds a little complicated but I'm sure it isn't; Looking forward to sorting everything now! EDIT: Much better! Edited November 17, 2012 by Retro_Link
Cookyman Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 At 9 pm Amazon doing a PS3 + PSVita + Playstation Allstars (PS3 version includes Vita version). No price yet but given that its the 9pm headline deal it should be interesting. Its the one where they say station something. Just checked and can't find it on upcoming deals? You sure?
Daft Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Christ that's pretty much the same price as a WiiU.
dazzybee Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 If by same price you mean £60 more expensive. And by more powerful you mean not at all. Look, the PS3 is powerful, I have one and I think it's much better than the 360 in the ways I really care about it. But it doesn't take too much digging around even recent multiplatform releases to see that the ps3 versions keep getting found out for running worse than the 360. And the wii u if it doesn't match usually sits between the two. And these are consoles that developers fully know how to develop for rather than a brand spanking new console... I really don't know why I'm bothering... Always get reminded why I hate coming on the other boards. But anyways, the reason I dide come here is because I wondered what peopel thought of PS Battle All Stars on the vita; the ps3 vita is a good deal and slightly tempted! But I'd want it on the vita more so if that version aint great I wont bother.

I thought it was generally agreed that the Wii boards were the smear on the forums where you weren't able to freely talk about negative aspects regarding Nintendo (this being N-E and all). Thinking it's the other way round probably reveals something about you there. PS3 versions running poorly is due to bad game development (e.g. Skyrim/Fallout). Proven to some extent after incredibly delayed patches. If it can be patched, it's a developer fault. No one cares that the Wii U is somewhat more powerful than one of the current consoles. It's pretty irrelevant. The point is that the deal posted is pretty amazing. And really, I wouldn't boast about the WiiU's power. When the next Sony/MS consoles come it'll most likely be behind by a generation again.
MadDog Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Be careful what you say, they will summon Zechs.
Dcubed Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Surprised that nobody offered that deal sooner. Bundling the two machines together seems like such a no-brainer, considering that Sony admitted that they're looking to sell the Vita to the PS3 audience. Good price for the two consoles as well! (Sony could take some good hints from what Amazon are doing) Why the hell not position it as a Wii U competitor and all? It's not like the Vita is doing any good on its own!
Pit-Jr Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I hope the PS4 just refines and significantly speeds up everything about PS3/PSN. The codename ''Orbis'' fills me with dread though.

When the next Sony/MS consoles come it'll most likely be behind by a generation again. I don't understand what the first paragraph is all about. And I'm not sure what you're in the other two, how come someone can say the Wii U isn't as powerful as the ps3 (probably based on reports about a few issues on the ports) andI comment on it, yet you tell me that's not important it's a bargain... but that's not what was being discussed, it is a bargain, but I was just commenting on the (predictable) bullshit by choze; yet you dismiss my point. I know it's down to bad game development, same as the wii u port glitches are. And again, you then make a point about the next consoles being loads more powerful. Yeah, you're right. But what the heck has EVERYTHING you posted got to do with anything I said and was replying to?!?! You literally ignore the debate and say unconnected thing, and act all superior. What bizarre status games you play. And I wasn't "boasting" about anything. Just highlighting how much shit was being spouted. Bloody hell, other consoles is AWESOME!!!
