Nice, this + the slim may be what Sony needs to pick up their sales.

Fallout DLC in 3 days

I think I'm going to wait a week or so though to make sure any last minute bugs get corrected - hopefully...

 

[u2popmofo]

You're not a real Fallout 3 fan, Elfa.

Apparently the PS3 wasn't far behind the 360 last month with the price drop. It'll be interesting to see if it levels out, or if sales continue to increase over the holidays. The Uncharted 2 beta is still awesome. I think they open it to the public next week, so we'll have to try to play some coop or something.

JT, I finally put some decent time into Batman this weekend. It gets really addicting once you get into it. In regards to the Batman DLC, I didn't just mean the Joker stuff, but there was actually a couple new challenge maps released for free on both systems last week. Can't remember what it was called, Insane Night or something like that, you should be able to find it on the PSN Store pretty easily.

ODST comes out at midnight, and I and a few other friends just happen to have tomorrow off. It's going to be a long (but fun) night...

Awesome, I did find them. Very cool of them to give it out for free. As for the joker challenges, they're friggin hard I cant take advantage of hiding on gargoyles and what not. Plus his xray specs dont stay on while you run around.
The story mode is addicting. Scarecrow levels

SOOO I made Evil Bono for Fight Night 4..y'all can go on Xbox live & downlad him for free!!!
What do you all think??

 

[No spoken words]

I love that you made it your avatar, I'll say that much.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Fallout 3 DLC is out... Patience

ETA: I just read the IGN review - it's got all kinds of bugs apparently, gotta love Fallout 3 on the PS3 Still got an 8.5 though

 

[u2popmofo]

Sheesh, you think they would have had all that cleared up by now. You could wait for the game of the year edition I guess, it's supposed to have all the DLC on it.

ODST was/is incredibly fun, by the way. Great game.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm not sure I can wait that long and the idea of buying the game over again kind of bugs me as well, Bethesda is notorious for not really supporting the PS3 version very well

My experience has been relatively good - there has been some lagging, several temporary freezes mostly in VATS, a couple of hilarious flying scorpions and levitating Deathclaws and maybe 5 full on crashes - mostly caused by Deathclaws, my PS3 does not like them for some reason.

I have heard a range of other experiences on the Fallout forum from no problems what so ever to not being able to play at all, it's very odd to say the least.

 

[u2popmofo]

PS3 hombres, I think the Uncharted 2 demo is now up for everyone. Please download it and lets play some coop matches!

 

[Jive Turkey]

downloaded it while i was sleeping last night! I'm gonna install it right now

 

[u2popmofo]

Pretty sure that means we're waiting on you now, Elfa.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

well, expect to be waiting a while then...

 

[u2popmofo]

Dude, it's free, just download that shiznit!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

oh, I'll download it, it's finding time to play it that is the problem...

 

[Jive Turkey]

holy.shit.

IGN Video: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PlayStation 3 Trailer - Campaign Trailer

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Broken Steel is awesome so far I had forgotten how satisfying it is to hear that "cha-ching" noise when you gain experience...

 

[u2popmofo]

So who else is going to get Uncharted 2 next week? Anyone?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'll wait a bit - you know me

[Tiger Edge]

My top ten, without PS3 games cause I don't have that many and haven't had them for that long, so they would all be "favorites" at this point:

1. Super Mario World (SNES) - Nothing beats it.
2. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) - Yes yes yes. I need this ROM stat.
3. Contra (NES) - up up down down left right left right b, a, START
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2) - Unrivaled in terms of soundtrack and city, naturally.
5. Spyro the Dragon (PS) - I don't know if I liked Year of the Dragon (3) better than the original, though. I'll stick with the original for now.
6. Call of Duty: Finest Hour (PS2)- My first war game. It absolutely blew me away and I ended up buying all other WW2 war games and have never looked back!
7. Kingdom Hearts (PS2) - The only RPG I've ever played and I really liked it, despite all the anime crap. I think the Simba summon won me over.
8. Dr. Mario (NES) - We never had Tetris
9. SSX Tricky (PS2) - Oh how I miss this game.
10. The Lion King (SNES) - Ffffffffffyeah!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I've never played Kingdom Hearts, is it that good? I could never get past the whole Disney thing...

 

[Tiger Edge]

That was the only reason I started playing it!
I don't know what the norm is for RPG, but I really enjoyed it. I never had to "level up" before. KH2 was a bit too much anime for my liking though.

Edit: I have to take that back because I think we did have the first or second Final Fantasy on NES, but I obviously didn't play it too much.

Edit edit: Upon investigation, we had FF2.

Friggin' Sony and Nintendo fanboys.

Any of you RPG Sony fannies going to get Demon's Souls?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

pfft, Microsoft did not invent the videogame...

Demon's Souls? I must have missed that one, I'm too lazy to google, give me a 300 word synopsis, now.

Friggin' Sony and Nintendo fanboys.

 

[u2popmofo]

And girls.

If I was to make a list, it would show my age.

Tiger Edge, I'm surprised to see you prefer Tricky to SSX3.
