PSA: PS3 users reporting 'bricked' systems after 4.45 firmware update

Mar 29th 2012 11:18AM (Joystiq)True. Java is kind of cross-platform, but not natively like this. Wish I could get it to run, but I think my work firewall is preventing it. That, or I need more CPUs and disk drives.

Mar 29th 2012 9:35AM (Joystiq)WRAAAAAAAAHHHHH! HAHAHA!
A lot of people think that Krogan can't compete on Silver. I prove them wrong consistently. Give me an N7 Crusader (a highly underrated gun that is ridiculously accurate and can pierce cover), a Widow sniper rifle, and the Krogan Rage effect, and I pretty much can waltz into enemies and wipe them all out.
To be fair, I stick with the Sentinel, which with the right upgrades has 1600 shields, 1200 health, and reduces all damage by 40%. I can stand up to a geth prime on silver, and their electric rocket thingies only take off 1/4 of my shield bar. We can carry whatever weapons we want too, because Tech Armor lasts forever, lift grenades have no cooldown, and you won't be using incinerate at all.
Next stop: Gold!

Mar 28th 2012 12:24PM (Joystiq)They are all turn based for the most part, but none of them use the Active Time Battle system that is featured in FF7, 8, and 9. Persona 1 and 2, if I recall correctly, have you put in all of the commands for all of your characters at once, and then the battle plays out after that. They also use a grid-based combat system that means you have to be strategic about where you place your characters. Not my cup of tea, but some people like that.
Persona 3 and 4 are more traditional turn based games like Final Fantasy X. In addition, both have the "Push Turn" system which lets you get additional moves by knocking down enemies by hitting their elemental weakness or scoring a critical hit with a physical attack.
Amazon holding 'buy two, get one free' sale
Mar 28th 2012 9:41AM (Joystiq)Fair enough. My Wii is out of commission and I have all the games I want for my 3DS right now, so I didn't browse the Nintendo section. They were wanting $49.99 for some games on PC that were nearly 2 years old.
Diablo's Descendants
Mar 28th 2012 9:05AM (Joystiq)I loved that game, though it may have been due in part to that glitch on the Playstation version that let you buy and sell maces and make ridiculous amounts of money.
