  • The_Icon replied to the topic Still excited of firmware updates? in the PlayStation 3 board.
    I really lost my interest in firmware updates since the 2.80 to be honest. It used to be so exciting for the imminent release of a firmware, but lately, especially 2.80 which did almost nothing. With so many requested features like x-game chat still not there, I dont know if we ever will get those features.

Petition 
 
TO: Activision

As the "biggest entertainment launch of all time" approaches, you're increasingly making your fanbase more angry. Your recent moves on the business side are head scratching and completely apauling. Tony Hawk peripherals to start, PC and UK price hikes and ridiculously overpriced collectors editions for MW2. Gamers were left scratching their heads wondering why? Than your CEO decided to further anger your customers with this quote "And Tony, you know if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further." I believe we are in what we call a "recession." What the consumer needs is not more expensive items, but less expensive, which we're obviously not screaming for you to do. As people we speak with our wallets as we know you wont hear our words. Everyone who signs this petition disagrees with your approach and your smug attitude. The undersigned agree not to purchase your game at full retail value. We instead will either choose to A.) not purchase MW2. B.)Purchase only in used form allowing no revenue for you. C.)Import from a cheaper country. This may not seem like much of a threat, but the internet is a large place and your wallets may seem a little lighter come Christmas time. Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

First their review they said  Mercenary mode is not online in Resident Evil 5, however they were wrong. Then they said Gametrailers.com had interviewed an Id guy saying Rage will not come this year. However I listened to it multiple times, the id guy Todd said "Aaaaa... no, we'll  be out this year".

Daym, what does that mean? This is even worse then what Game Spot had done.

I will get getting Killzone 2 hopefully next week, as for now and for the last few weeks I have been hunting for trophies. Mainly I have been playing GTA IV and Prince of Persia on a side for the trophies. Regardless what many people thinks, GTA IV is still an awesome game and still feels immersive and fun to play, but I must admit that many trophies are extremely, I wouldn't say hard....but it takes alot of time. Like completing all car deliveries for e.g.

As for POP, mainly I am collecting lightseeds. Before I played the game, I thought there is no way in hell I am gonna attempt to get all thje Light Seeds. As soon as I started playing, realized they are not as cubersome as many think and you just need to look out carefully by paning the camera and be patient.

Fingers crossed for getting KZ 2 next week though!

Lightning Fast Review (PS3)
 I will keep it lightning short. At 1st I didn't like the game, it felt quirky, the animations felt bad at first glance, the gameplay seamed boring. But after 1 hr, my interest grew and grew and by middle of the game it is one of the best sandbox games ...
