This is the biggest circle jerk of sub-2nd grade spelling and grammar and Mega Man love and hate. However, I am not surprised in the least.

I've had more laggy games that I get kicked out of than playable ones. But the game is such that I always just reload and try again.

I have the explosive shotgun and it looks to me like it actually fires some sort of shells instead of a scatter-shot pattern, - will every weapon I find with the "Explosive" special ability just lob shells like that? Also do the Broadcaster type weapons just have the ability to kill everything, at the sacrifice of range?

Just played the other day- every game had a good mix of classes  and I had many opportunities to implement each one. Great game.

Add my gt, please:

Somewhere between B & C. That series topped out at the first MW for me, which I will stop pop in and play and have fun.

The disney shit is making me physically ill. At least we'll get a new meme out of it.

I can't believe how overlooked this series is. The combat looks amazing and the art in it is easy on the eyes. Can anyone fan recommend a good entry title or even just the best one in the series?

The gamer entitlement mindset is disgusting and I'm losing respect for the social aspect of this hobby every single day

Here it is:

- Sony can't offer Third Party titles because then they would have to compensate that publisher for every title given away, if 40 million people download Outlander, then Sony have to compensate for that 40 million. It'd also take much longer to set up, get contracts signed and make sure everything's running and I'm sure they wanted the 'Welcome Back' package done as fast as possible.

- Sony can't give you credit, if they did then people could take advantage of the system and use their multiple accounts to multiply their rewards, that costs Sony money. It'd also involve Sony specifically noting what game a user is buying and then paying that publisher, if there are 15 publishers to pay, then that's just a headache and it'd end up taking way too much time. It brings up a whole bunch of cross transaction and communications issues and it'd cost them a large sum of money.

- Sony can't give you a wider selection of First Party games, for every game they add, they'd have to figure out any licensing issues, any regional issues, file sizes (not everyone has the bandwidth to download a 15 gig file, Infamous is the largest at 6.9), censorship ratings and probably many other things. A perfect example would be Germany not being able to get Infamous and that's because of their rating system. Sony don't have the time or the resources to waste, especially if they want this package out the door and ready for the store launch.

Two free retail PS3 games, two free retail PSP games, one month of PS+ (two for members), 100+ pieces of free content in Home, a weekend of free selected movie rentals and a years worth of free Identity Theft monitoring. They are giving everyone all this free stuff and people are still bitching, it's the most content filled compensation package in the history of gaming and all that happened was that their free service was down for three weeks and your Facebook info got out.

On top of all that, the games they are giving out are bloody Game of the Year Winners and contenders. If you have them, then fine, too bad for you, but Infamous only sold 2 million units, LBP sold like 4.5 and I'm sure the others are less than that, which means that the other 40 million people that use the service and don't have those games are going to be ecstatic. 

Sony work within boundaries, they can't do whatever they want, not even give out free stuff, so people need to sit back and maybe come to the realisation that the world outside of their computer screen has different guidelines to follow. 

I'm willing to bet that even if Sony came out and said that everything on the store was free for a week, people will still come in complaining that a week isn't long enough to download all the stuff they want.

Peace.

Note: I swear if any podcasts rag on Sony for this, I'm going to be pissed, they all thought one free PSN game would be enough, but I'm willing to bet they'll find some sort of issue with the package, even if it did exceed everyone's original expectations. This isn't about Sony, this is about gamers weird entitlement issues, happens with nearly every PC game that gets released, new directions franchises are taking, DLC and just about everything else filling up the Neogaf forums.

Could I quote this to get it on more pages, since it is an excellent comment? And can I also invite you to places like Eventhubs where you can make sense of more things? Thank you. Can we give Sony a break? They've done their hardest to fix an admittedly stupid and probably inevitable mistake, and whilst we sit on the boulder they're carrying on our chairs we throw rocks at them, complaining how the chairs aren't comfortable enough.

Anyone who thinks these games weren't chosen to minimalize further financial loss is naive. Why not offer consumers affected credit towards the purchase of the game of their choosing? I don't know many Sony fans who wouldn't own all of those games, if not a majority of them. Sony dropped the ball twice and pretty badly.
