[PS3] Official PSN discussion thread

[Twigg4075]

For those that don't know, voting began the 22nd for the best Playstaion games of 2011. You go into the PS Store to vote. There are four categories: Best Exclusive, Best PSP, Best PS3 and Best Mini. The winner in each category will be discounted.

So of course I voted for Pac-Man CE DX and Dead Nation because I don't have them and want them.

The voting has ended and it says the results will be in on March 7th.

As for the latest PSN Store updates:

Severed DLC for Dead Space 2
Lamborghini pack add-on for NFS Hot Pursuit
Sonic 1 (free for PS+), the first of the Genesis Collection games
PixelJunk Shooter 2
MLB 2K11 demo (even though we all thought it would never show up)

 

[Twigg4075]

It looks like Castle Crashers, Ghost of Sparta and Dead Nation won their respective categories.

Plus it looks like the Black Ops maps are finally out for PS3.

I'm downloading DN now (only $7.50 for PS+) and the MK demo.

Get Dead Nation. I'm going to need a co-op partner. I read the other day they finally patched voice chat in.

I would play if Sony would release a patch fix already. 2 Months now. Its unreal.

What else is wrong with it?

That first version of the update 2.56 made it so if your hard drive bricked that you couldn't put a new one in. They quietly released a 2nd version of 2.56 that fixed it and most people never even realized there was even a problem. There are about 2,000 people according to some threads with broken ps3s. The problem lies in the fact that the ps3 broke before I could install that 2nd patch.

So Dead Nation fucked up a lot of peoples consoles?

 

[Buzzman]

No the actual ps3 update.

 

[Twigg4075]

Oh, ok. That makes more sense. Well, actually it doesn't because an update should never fuck up someones console. But I understand what you were saying now.

Dead Nation is pretty bad ass. I completed the first two levels. It seems like it could be pretty lengthy. At least five hours. Now I want to try co-op.

 

[Twigg4075]

Looks like you are finally getting your wish...tomorrow.
PlayStation Network Brings Online Storage For Game Saves Eclusively For PlayStation Plus Members - Next Level Gaming

Also the cloud saves update. Woot!

 

[Twigg4075]

Holy shit! The third level in DN was fucking insane! I'm really liking this game.

 

[tigstah]

d/ling dn now

 

[Twigg4075]

Let me know if you want to co-op tomorrow.

I can't recommend this game enough. For $10 it's a no brainer. For $7.50 you should honestly walk in front of a bus if you don't buy it. Ha.

 

[tigstah]

hit me up later. i need to get a headset....

 

[Buzzman]

Mortal Kombat demo, after 15 matches I finally did a fatality. Game is garbo.

Playstation Move Heroes is even worse. It's a bunch of mini games that have loose controls and a $40 price tag that should be $20.

 

[Twigg4075]

I think I'm near the end of Chapter 7 of Dead Nation is holy fuck is it hard. There are those big screaming zombies that are locked away in buildings. There are four or five I think? You have to break down a wall first before killing them but they are constantly screaming and summoning more zombies and the hordes are ridiculous. I'm not sure what strategy to use. I would think mines would be good but I only have one and no money to buy any more.

Think I could catch up with you if I bought it? I have too many PS3 games to beat that I've bought in the past few weeks 1 more won't hurt haha. How often does new stuff go on PS+? Every month right?

It would take a b it to get where I am but I want to start over in co-op anyway. I'm just wondering if the game separates co-op and single player saves? I haven't tried it yet but I'd hate to lose my progress if I started a new co-op game.
