  Battlefield: Bad Company is now outselling MGS4 in US? HUH?         


Author: Rich Hutnik

And I am not just talking 360 version. The PS3 version is also. Bad
Company looks good, but we are talking MSG4, which is supposed to be a
AAA title, that got great reviews and everything, has online play and
all that. Of all the titles, Bad Company?

HUH? I am not going to get into Japan here though, which appears to
have a DS horse racing game as the top title. Well, at least other
regions have MGS4 over Bad Company (Barely):

Worldwide again though (due to North America):

  Even xflop 3-shitty magazine sees Too Human as spitoon swill         


Author: Blig Merk

It looks like a PS1 game? But it will still get perfect 10's on
Gamerankings and Metacritic since M$ will be paying for those ratings.
And this is one of the paltry few major titles M$ has planned for E3.

Too Human

I recently had the pleasure, or lack of, of playing Too Human. For an
entire day. Before I continue, I’d like to point out that the code was
incomplete. I offer this as a caveat, because what I am about to say
about the game itself isn’t particularly kind, because frankly,
kindness is not a quality it deserves.

Initially ugly and onwardly dull, Too Human, in its present form
doesn’t so much suffer an identity crisis as give a knowing nod that
it’s simply not very entertaining. What other reason could there be
for the poor script, laugh-a-minute voice-acting, and protagonists so
poorly modelled and lip-synced as to be singularly unable to imbue its
plot with any degree of weight.

  PS3 Firmware 2.4 just fine here         


Author: Blig Merk
Date: Jul 2, 2008 19:58

I downloaded the PS3 2.4 firmware last night, no problems. Checked out
the in-game XMB, just fine. Didn't have time to download the *free*
update patch for SuperStardustHD. Just did that this morning. Tried
out the Trophy system, works just fine. A lot of developers have said
they will be releasing simple, small patches to enable the Trophy
system for games already out and there is a long string of games on
the way that have the Trophy system incorporated, since the news about
the SDK was posted here many weeks ago.

One thing about a lot of these "PS3 bricked by firmware *reports*" are
a lot of them end up being just flat-out lies from sour, resentful
xflop fanbitches. Of course, they always respond how crazy it is...

  I know, I know, 2.40 blew up, blah blah...

It's tempting to go all fanboy over the problems Sony is having with
the 2.40 firmware release, but before any of you are tempted I'd
remind you that BOTH Microsoft and Nintendo had issues with firmware
updates themselves.

http://brokencontrollers.com/forums/some-problems-with-the-wii-s-firmware-t3392....

It seems this is an imperfect process for everyone, which is a shame.
Particularly since Sony has had such good luck with the PSP firmware
updates. But I guess the days of solid state hardware and software are
long gone. I miss the days where all you needed to play an imported
game was a hot X-acto knife.

The key point for me is the apparent failure of the Trophy system.
Right now there is trophy support in the following games:

  Why         


Author: Brad Darnell

Why is this newsgroup being dominated by Playstation 3 fans. The only
posters here now are the ones who regularly bash the 360. Whats the point in
reading the group these days.

  Blig Merk said it was great the PS3 had no achievement system

What happened? LOL

By the way, if you don't have Achievements from Day 1 on a console,
it's meaningless.
