I doubt there are any hackers involved, but that Sony is just making excuses for maintenance failures on their end. Who needs an attack by Anonymous when you have Sony running the show?
Be nice to finally get some Counter-Strike Source and some Episode 3 slapped together. Even better, add Portal 2 DLC to it. Instead of calling it the Blue Box, or some other color, how's about calling it Dukem Nukem Forever 2?
@Jennacide Yeah, I saw a couple higher levels on YouTube, and I couldn't watch any more than 2, not because of spoilers, but because I kept screaming at my netbook and caught myself almost throwing it across the room because the guy playing wasn't good, at all. I've been stabbed with a pen, shucked through the hand, and kicked in the balls, but watching this guy was more painful. I solved those maps in my head faster than he could find the first asset or switch. I guess some people really do need guides, should never upload YouTube videos of themselves playing games. Ever.
Never pay attention to the critics. Between Valve fanboyism (have it myself) and the fact publishers purposely "incentivize" top viewed critics and all their co-workers, bosses, I have to stick it to them and hear it from the common man. Metacritic's user score so far is 7.1. From what I read, the single player is 5 hours long, which disappointed some people, crying afoul about the price. Personally though, If I had $60 to spend, I would rush out this instant and buy the hell out of it. Valve fanboyism is the best, Episode 3 aside.
How about fixing the damn multiplayer menu goofs on the soundtrack (360)? Anyone who's ever taken a 101 programming class could figure out that they need to take out channel addition in the code every time the function loops the soundtrack. For such a quality game, I can't believe they didn't test the menus when accounting for long waits and lag. Demo played, worked better. Nerdrage. No matter what still, I love that freakin' game.
@DrDrew Pinsky I never said you are my enemy. Nobody in this thread is. Sony is my enemy. I do not fight them by running scripts and ddos attacks, but in court via the OtherOS class action lawsuit which has consolidated and is still under way.
