@ Twilightknight69
Thanks for posting the link from IGN’s Colin Moriarty. He hit everything right on the head. I sure hope the Sony reps. read up on that and fix all of these issues. We the consumers are the reason Sony has the success that they do and they need to remember that. Some say that it’s no big deal, but to the developers and to most consumers, it’s totally a big deal. Not only do the developers lose money, I’m sure Sony does too. Enough of the incompetence, fix what needs to be fixed.
On another note….Malicious has to be the worst game ever given on Plus. I wasted an hour of my life, that I will never get back on that garbage of a game. This has been a terrible month of PS Plus for me. Starting with Demon’s Souls, which I know a lot of people liked but wasn’t for me. Then with that crappy Labyrinth Legends, which bored me to tears in a matter of a few minutes. Then Malicious. I sure hope next months offerings are much better than April’s was. I don’t like to compare EU to the U.S., but looking at what they get opposed to here is somewhat disappointing for us, to say the least.
@301
Thanks for reading it, if only Morgan or someone else would.
Malicious, while not a great game maybe it appeals to some people. I’m sure some people worked very hard on it and I thank them for their effort. I couldn’t get into it after about 10 minutes but it’s free and I have it so I’ll play it again someday. Now Sacred Citadel demo was actually pretty fun and I bought it. I think it may have made a better IGC choice. Now watch it be on the IGC next month ;)
@303
Someone had to have read it. Supposedly all links have to be approved before they will allow it to stay on the blog. It was a great read, and with pertinent viewpoints, that I truly believe need to focused on and fixed, especially before they launch a new system that may very well have the same issues.
Do you guys even read the complains about avatars and themes? Seriously, compared to EU store is ridiculous! A lot of nice games like Metal Gear Rising and Injustice and no avatars or themes? C’mon guys!
@306
Go to ps3themes.com and get all the themes you want for free. No avatars though.
Just beat Injustice in one sitting yesterday. Holy crap it was amazing. I love NetherRealm story-telling.
RPG Maker 3, now with HDD limitless potential. cool.
HELLO
Looks like a good week for RPG fans! Thanks :)
Just watched some gameplay footage of TMNT: Out Of The Shadows. It’s looks like it could be a winner.
Man, with TMNT, Duck Tales, and the Castle Of Illusion remake all coming out soon, it’s feeling like my Elementary School days all over again.
Sony chat support said the walking dead addons were not mislabeled. I contacted Activision and they said they were. Activision also said others have complained and are looking into it. Lying Sony support said there was no mistake. So I better get some kind of apology when this is done.
Is there any way to buy a PSN game as a gift to a friend?
Anyone else hoping that RE Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles is part of the franchise sale next week? Been meaning to pick that up again for ps3.
@ Grace Chen
Is there any word on Einhänder, Brave Fencer musashi, SaGa Frontier 1 & 2, Bushido Blade 1 & 2, & the Kings Field series coming to the US PSN store as PS1 Classics??
These games have been on the JP store for more then a couple of years & to be honest i think thats a crock of doo doo.
The Vita store really needs a better selection of games. It hardly ever updates except for one or two every now and then, and they’re usually meh.
Can you guys add Fallout 3 Full game ??
