Oh I know precisely what it is and I'm not really that upset about it. Laughed it off at the time and I'm doing the same right now. I just don't understand the mindset I guess. Waste of energy. It also wasn't as prevalent last time I played it :/

That's the problem with achievements based on kills. People pad their stats by beating up a bunch of the new people. They should make kills based on experience by monitoring the first time someone started playing. A lot of people also hate that in Call of Duty when people camp out at respawning spots, just to get a lot of kills.
One other question, I just bought a PS3, where is the best place to register? At the site? Or using your Playstation?

ElectricEye · 06-19-2011, 08:52 PM

Don't think it really matters all that much. I made a new account a few weeks ago because it wouldn't let me change my password after the entire hacking thing(it really feels like I'm in the 90's again with all this stuff haha) and it worked fine. Website would work too. I do seem to recall some unskippable EULA of doom when making one on the console though, so the website might let you get by that quicker.

Took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free.
Ended up with GoW Collection, Assassins Creed 2 and Dante's Inferno.
Keeping in mind I was trying to stay under 40 bucks, howd I do?

ElectricEye · 06-19-2011, 10:19 PM

I can tell you that you hit on Assassin's Creed 2 for sure.

Not sure how much Demon's Souls people here know, but I'm completely addicted to it again. I'm going to be on a major bender with this one again, I can tell. Just killed Old King Doran at Soul Level 14 haha.

M.O.T.H. · 06-19-2011, 10:22 PM

I think he did very well. 4 great games for under $40.

How long did that take you lol... Me and my friend tried at like lvl 10 took 2 hours.

I told everyone here the other day that I got Saints Row 2 for 7$. Then my gf gets me L.A Noire for my bday saturday. I get lucky and even though its used the 2 DLC cases codes still work. I then return both games and buy them back as part of the buy 2 get 1 free and get GTA4 (ive never played it) for free. The first gamestop said I would not be able to do it since I bought the one game with a 10$ off coupon. So I ended up still getting the DLC for L.A and got the 2 extra games for cheaper then L.A would have cost new.

georgiafan · 06-20-2011, 08:28 AM

I can't find the 2 games I got as part of the welcome back prorgram? I've got them downloaded and the system software are up to date. Any help?

nepg · 06-20-2011, 08:32 AM

You probably didn't download them or the download failed.

I had to look up the fix for this yesterday...unfortunately, I can't remember the different menus you have to go through. It's like Account Management -> Services... and it's fuzzy after that.

I actually got him into this weird loop where I could backstab him and then time when he gets up right to go for another backstab. Had some scary moments along the way(swung at multiple times), but it worked out pretty well. Shame none of the items I had on me helped deal any more damage to him, but I got some sick ass armor for PVP later out of it.

Sony's sitting on their hands while Nintendo puts out that piece of trash and Microsoft starts development on their next console.

Meh. There was a story a while back that the PS4 is already in development. And the latest new XBOX unveil at next year's E3 was already shot down by Crytek. Or at least, the fact that they're not currently developing anything for a new xbox console was deemed false. Which probably leads to that whole original article being false.

They're actually probably further in their next gen development than Microsoft is right now. Microsoft still seems to be gathering the talent/resources. While, the PS4 is already under way.

ElectricEye · 06-20-2011, 07:35 PM

Really don't think it's the worst thing in the world. It will create an interesting console market when the Wii U(a year in) and the 360 successor(launch titles, mostly) are sharing multiplats and the PS3 is operating on older hardware, but there is at least three years left in the PS3 IMO. Multiplats on the 360 and PS3 are largely the same, but the exclusives at this point are heads and shoulders above technically and will only get better in that regard.

Maybe, but Sony will likely not be entering the fray officially anytime soon. Likely waiting for the new engines to come out, and I do believe they're just getting started with the PS3. Finally got it to where they can start pushing out some big title before the Hackfest of 2011.

M.O.T.H. · 06-20-2011, 08:19 PM

ha. Yeah, the hacking is really getting out of hand everywhere now.

And as for some major titles...I still have no idea what happened to DONTNOD's game at E3. They were a long confirmed developer, and supposed to be the talk of the show and we got nothing. They're that unknown french studio, that Sony paid a **** ton of money to, so they could use their impressive tech/team to create some massive AAA title. They were supposed to unveil their game "Adrift" but again, nothing. I dont know what happened there. Supposed to be a Sci-fi themed WRPG.

georgiafan · 06-21-2011, 07:49 AM

Any of you guys have any of the rockband games? How much would it me but to get started with it? I heard the beatles bundle was the best to get started with but cant find it on the main websites.

nepg · 06-21-2011, 08:22 AM

I have rb2. I haven't played it in like a year and a half. Only worth having if you live with people who'd play it or if people come over a lot.

killxswitch · 06-21-2011, 08:25 AM

Right now I am in the middle of INfamous, Red Dead Redemption, Portal 2 (single and multiplayer), and LA Noire. I also have a Colts franchise in Madden. I don't know where this gaming ADD came from, I guess I just hate it when I beat a game and it's over.

georgiafan · 06-21-2011, 08:36 AM

I'm loving L.A Noire, I just got promoted from traffic and I know some people were disapointed with it. Its a cross between 2 of my favorite games Mafia 2 and Heavy Rain. I think I will wanna play through it again though It might be a few months down the line with the football games coming out. I've always loved these type of TV shows and movies.

I was asking about Rock Band bc I own a karaoke machine and me and friends and family get together and have a fun time with that a good bit. This seems like it would be similar to that with the additon of people being able to play the guitar and drums. Only thing would be the price as I dont wanna pay alot for it.

ImBrotherCain · 06-21-2011, 08:49 AM

I'm mid way through GoW 2 and a franchise in MLB...

I have Uncharted and INfamous waiting in the wings

That's got me thinking.

Any one wanna start up a MLB: The Show online dynasty?

georgiafan · 06-21-2011, 09:10 AM

M.O.T.H. · 06-21-2011, 10:13 AM

For me...

I'm currently playing NBA 2K11 exclusively. I'm leaving for Florida Saturday night. When I get there, I plan on starting up Fable 3, for the 360. I bought it on Thanksgiving and havent even opened it. After I beat that...I have a bunch of games to choose from...Alpha Protocol, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Enslaved, Nier, or another Metro 2033 or Prototype playthrough. I have lots of toys to keep me busy until NCAA comes out in July.
