dark mist has received negative impressions from almost everyone who has played it. why are we waiting for it again?

Uh, what? Most of the stuff I have seen discussed about the game has been favorable.

If you don't want it, then shush. A lot of us do.

Sony: "There's your stinking PS one game, now STFU!"

Awesome! Bout time!

 

[Synless]

Uhhhhhhh

Did I miss something? I really feel as if I have. I'm really not being rude by asking this either.

 

[Dante]

I got invalid controller type for R-Types. Any other getting this issue?

You have to unplug your Rock Band USB stuff.

Also, is the Burnout DLC going up this evening, someone in the blog comments mentioned it was?

 

[Zoe]

they changed that today , there is top 10 and whats new , plus they add 2 new categories on the left side of the front page of the store

2nd from bottom: About Product Codes
Bottom: PS Store Treasure Hunt

Both of these are just info pages that will likely go away. The first leads to info about MGO, the second leads to the treasure hunt info.

Edit: And the Top 10 is only for PS1 games.

He was making a joke at the expense of the clusterfuck of the MGO beta signup, which required you to get not one BUT TWO different Usernames a GAME ID and KONAMI ID. You be able to get your Siren Demo just like normal once it hits.

 

[Wollan]

Semi OT but supposedly there's new trailers in Home now.

I understand now.....I missed that one eh? But now I know (and I feel like an ass for the remark made earlier to that other guy).

No, I was talking to the other guy, not you. He said something about it being hidden in the ironman demo or something. Either way, it's all good.

be glad :lol

Uh, what? Most of the stuff I have seen discussed about the game has been favorable.

Pretty much all the negative points people had with the game were fixed with the expansion anyways (no saving mid-dungeon, fixed - no depth of gameplay, fixed with the addition of 3 very different characters and a whole new set of levels, no replay value, fixed with the enjoyable multiplayer).

Personally Dark Mist is one of my favourite PSN games, it's crazy addictive and perfect for a quick blast of arcade action (especially now you can save mid-dungeon )

 

[Dizzan]

I'm only a visitor in this fine country. I take it all in day by day.

Traditionally there is a Dawn Service where we remember the war vets. Then at 7AM evrybody starts drinking Rum and playing 2up (gambling game they used to play during the war, Anzac day is the only day it's legal).

Get down to the RSL/Pub and start drinking!

 

[devildog820]

Just finished the echochrome demo. Pretty damn fun. I will likely buy the game when it's released.

My understanding is basically that it's a next-gen Gauntlet with some Zelda-type stuff thrown in.

 

[pilonv1]

why the fuck isnt bishi bashi on the australian store?

 

[Dizzan]

Because SCEAustralia is, if it's possible, more incompetent than SCEE.

Spoiler

They're probably drunk

 

[British Monsoon]

My understanding is basically that it's a next-gen Gauntlet with some Zelda-type stuff thrown in.

Yeah, thats a pretty accurate description, it's like a dungeon crawler mixed with an arena shooter with simple zelda-like puzzles (oh noez, door is locked - defeat enemies to obtain key) and RPG elements (levelling your characters 3 different shot types) thrown in. Although, without the expansion it definetly feel quite shallow and repetative, hopefully the NA & EU versions will include it in the price.

 

[Kittonwy]

:lol

Only one of Australia's most important holidays! Have you been living under a rock Wollan?

Anyway, most shops open at Midday today. Enjoy the day off. I'll be stuck at home doing uni work.......

Wutz Anzac day? How come us Canadian hosers don't get no Anzac day?

 

[Pristine_Condition]

They have been? All I've done is buy Rock Band tracks like I've done every other week this year. Take out RB and I've grabbed absolutely nothing off the store since the AC4:FA & Echochrome demos on the JPN store.

And I don't count GT5p as some "omg great PSN game this week!" as it's a retail game.

Rtypes & HSG5 DLC course (JPN) & Siren demo are solid entries this week, but the store has still been absolutely pathetic and the worst of the three online systems since launch.

You missed the awesome Super Stardust HD expansion last week?

You f***ing fail, dood. You fail, BIG TIME.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Wow. Lair fucking sucks.

 

[jett]

Wow a a Lair demo. I guess i'll try that shit out. Right now I'm downloading echochrome.

2gb demo that you'll regret downloading

 

[jett]

2GB? Yeah I'm not going to bother with that shit.

 

[calder]

Oh excellent. Almost done downloading the COD4 map pack before I remember I lent my copy to my brother after he broke his.

 

[tanod]

FYI: There is an update for the MGO beta to 1.02. Even though we can't log into a game right now, I'd suggest getting the update now rather than waiting until the servers go up tomorrow at midnight.

 

[Core407]

2GB?! Damn. I'm assuming the demo has analog controls? I'll give it a shot if so.

 

[Flunkie]

Analog is no savior for this game.. Believe me.

 

[Speevy]

Uh, what? Most of the stuff I have seen discussed about the game has been favorable.

where? not here. do a search for dark mist. read eurogamer's writeup

 

[Wollan]

Thanks for the notice tanod. *logs in*

Edit: Relatively small one happily. You can see the percents go by.

2nd Edit: And I'm done. Good speeds as well, 15 clients and 100+ kbps.

Already there!!

 

[Dizzan]

Wutz Anzac day? How come us Canadian hosers don't get no Anzac day?

Basically it's an excuse to get hammered on Rum before Midday.

Nah, it's honouring/remembering our war vets. Canada must have someting similar? As many Canucks died in the war as us Aussies.

Anzac is short for Australia & New Zealand Army Corps.

 

[Speevy]

tanod, when you say you can build a deck virtually, how do you mean? you still need cards to play

 

[Wollan]

You can build a deck with Set.2 cards but you can't play with them ingame was my understanding (not sure if he means both online/offline).

Do the MGO beta updates actually download now?

 

[Speevy]

yeah you need physical cards either on or offline, not sure why someone would use that as an argument against the cost unless they were printing cards

 

[tanod]

I didn't have a problem with mine. I just did the bittorent option and left it on overnight.

I thought you can play without cards online. In fact, you had to scan in your cards to do so. Maybe I'm wrong?

 

[Dante]

There's a LAIR demo? It's not listed in the OP. Wouldn't mind trying it with analog.

We haz remembrance day but it's not known as a drinking day.

 

[rollingstart]

Where exactly can you download the Lair demo? I checked the japanese and euro store and nothing.

You can create decks by registering cards with the eye, but you cannot play the video game without cards

Time for you to go about changing that.

Event wise we have the best one, yanks and such come to Aus for Anzac day because they dont have the stuff we do services, parades and all that jazz.

Massive respects for the Anzacs today, my pop was in PNG, not Kokoda but still in the thick shit, he was a farm boy as well, so good with a rifle, got him some Japs, god bless all the serving men!

How do I get the update?

It's an experience you won't soon forget.

Assuming you're in the beta, start it up, log in, and it will download.

 

[Insane Metal]

What about the SIREN demo?
