my FIRST downloadable game i purchased from the PS3, it was fun for a week but that ended too quick. Haven't played it since they patched it for trophies. Too bad they made them ridiculously hard and DLC was required for at least one trophy.

All this news of layoffs in the game industry is getting very depressing. Best of luck to all of them in their future endeavors!

I'm just curious why they had that many to begin with? PAIN seemed a lot like a game two people make sitting in their garage together.

What does physics have to do with anything? They used the Havok engine, the same one that's used in Motorstorm and other games.

its probably because of the difficulty of ps3 development. also they may have expanded too quickly since they had sony as their publisher.

Pain was the biggest waste of $10 I ever spent...actually it was a christmas gift, but still, that $10 could have bought something a lot better.

I wonder if it would have done better on XBLA? I can't believe Trials HD is still hitting the top charts.

who cares, but makes me wonder how bad Flower would have done. If it doesn't have some kind of explosion on it, it does not sell well on XBLA

Sony Defense Force, please try to understand that this wasn't an attack on your system, but rather that PSN doesn't provide a better way to ascertain the how good a game is with a trial mode.

Also, if the 360 controller had an accelerometer in it, I am almost positive it would have sold better on XBLA, because of the sole fact we can try games before we buy them. Watching a video of Flower on PSN as the only means to motivate me to buy it, mean nothing. Because if you came into Flower with knowing *nothing* about it and watched the video of Flower on PSN, you would think that you only saw the trailer.

So if you were wondering if the 360 could first support Flower with an accelerometer and second was available on the 360. I would bet money it would sell better on 360 for the sheer fact that people could *try* before they buy. And realize that Flower is a really interesting *good* game.

Sooo... half their team got laid off, due to budget cuts, and all they've released in the last couple years are $5 expansions and $1 characters for a 2+ year old game? Maybe they should look into doing more... or possibly a second game this gen.

And, maybe, just maybe... if their minds weren't so idol, they'd make some money and keep people on the payroll. Supporting a game, through DLC, for fans, is one thing... but relying solely upon it for profit and ONLY developing such a thing is pretty dumb.

I got PAIN for free and I still think that I got ripped off. I'm glad to see that this game will finally die!

this game is like Calling All Cars. Fun (or something new) for the first 3 days and then boring...

Pain led to my nan asking my father what spank the monkey meant. Money well spent.

I've wasted many an hour playing PAIN. Good luck to them.

Maybe they should have made a game or two instead of trying to milk Pain for over two years...

Pain is awesome and always has been but I agree it's WELL past it's prime. Maybe if they had worked on something else, even a Pain 2 instead of all this DLC stuff, they would still have jobs. Who knows?

People who think pain isn't worth the $10 dollars in cost to buy it obviously haven't spend enough time with it...It's a pretty deep game if you give it a chance.

Not surprising. Pain's a game that's only good in short bursts with friends in the first place, and they've been dawdling around with DLC for it for nearly two years. Try something new.

Won't be a big loss.
While Pain is ok - it's too expensive, and how can a company of 46 not turn out anything new or substantial in 2 years! That's just crazy!
If it were down to me I'd sack them outright and put the money I saved towards a massive feast with my friends.

I don't have pain, never played it, and I'm not dropping $10 on it, but damn that's the funniest gymnasium floor I've ever seen.
