"LA" noire being shown at a "NY" film festival?! but in all seriousness, i'd love to see some information on the event since they may have just opened the doors for video games to be treated the same as films... i even heard a rumor that there will now be a video game soundtrack category for whatever award show it is that gives out awards for that kind of thing...

damn, i thought my numbers were tons better than that... comcast internet is surprisingly very good... i don't have the top internet package but, i thought the numbers would be a little better than that... if only their TV service was good... it fucking blows, i'm not paying $50 for shitty channels and horrible service... but for the internet, yea, i'll pony up what it costs...

horrible... *facepalm*

i just now got to the reyes missions... i got a ways to go yet...

Hmm, never really been one for bothering with Trophies, it's just that L.A. Noire looks likely to get me interested for the first time. if you've never cared for them, why start now all of a sudden??

WTF marney?? you don't know how the trophy system works?? earn a trophy, earn a hundred trophies... as soon as you go online and sync your trophy list, it updates online... your system is always the main host for the trophies... online only knows of them if you sync them... if you don't sync and your system crashes, you lose them forever... if you did sync before your PS3 bricked, you can restore your trophies the next time you log into your account... i had to do the latter when i upgraded my hard drive...

i still have a huge tote of LEGOS in my basement... i took them when i moved out of the parents so i could one day break them out and build something... i've lived here for like 6 or 7 years and still haven't broke them out... hmmm... nah, i kind wanna play RDR right now... i am really having fun playing this ruthless badass... the problem is the missions take me away from the evil feeling... as soon as i reach blackwater, i'll stop doing the missions...

this is just a preview of what would happen if the actual internet went down... no one would know what to do... they would look up survival tips but then realize that they can't google it... it's moments like this that make gamers look bad... how about playing some single player, or actually go outside and do something meaningful instead??? this downtime hasn't bothered me, i can still use neflix on my laptop, which is just about the only reason i go online anymore... plus, it's given me an excuse to fire up RDR and play some of that... maybe i'll get back to my "FPS-A-THON" this evening and play some more resistance... seriously, these tools on the playstation blog need to play some single player and shut the hell up... PSN is a free service, you have no right to bitch when it goes down... if this was xbox live it would be a different story...

i swear i have the exact same camo shorts...

is it back up?? i won't be trying to log in fer another 18 or so hours so, i was just wondering...

http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?showtopic=1181744&st=0 here's the latest news in case you weren't watching the vault... the new patch is about to hit the PC in a few days, and probably the networks within the week... i spot a couple of good tweaks and then a flipping great tweak to melee, ignoring DR/DT for the chainsaw, making it just plain nasty in the right hands... also, this was found on the information superhighway via the vault; "A promotional image for the upcoming Honest Hearts DLC has been found on Xbox live. Users can find the image by searching for Fallout: New Vegas on the Game Marketplace, and then selecting Fallout: New Vegas Teaser Trailer (HD). The picture in the top-right corner will change to a banner showing the Honest Hearts logo and a man with bandages covering his nose and mouth, likely to be the infamous Joshua Graham, also known as the Burned Man. " well, duh... but fucking cool nonetheless...

That's actually not a bad idea. R* could get into the war game market via RDR. I think most people's problem with Jack was his voice. Looked ~20 by the end but his voice was still childish. Didn't match up to me. Wiki says he was 16 and then 19 which seems right. 3 years but his voice just never matures. maybe he could pick up smoking in the army and develop a deep raspy voice?? then he'd sound cool... but R* trying out the WW-days would probably be a nice refreshing approach to the genre... the saboteur brought a new and interesting angle and i bet R* would take the same approach, albeit, from a different angle of course ...

is it possible to come back to a witness after gathering the proper evidence to slam it in their face after you've already talked to them, or is it that once you fail that speech check, the option is eliminated and you have to move on?? i say this because i get this feeling that i will be heading back to the crime scenes often to re-gather evidence to throw back at someone... make sense?? lol, sorry... like dup, i have to make GTA references because hey, it does resemble GTA... did you try out the car horns?? do you get to hear the infamous "aaaauuuuuuugggaaaahhh" car horn?? ... are there shops to visit that aren't linked to investigations?? like the very first burger shot or something?? ...or the local tailor to fit me for a new suit?? did you mess around with the outfits in the game?? are they set up similar to the way RDR handle them?? find this evidence/finish this quest to unlock suit... and does each suit offer a minor skill to aid in your investigations similar to the way RDR's outfits offered perks?? lol, my questions seem like the ones you ask politicians, multi-layered... sorry...

95?! wow, that's a pretty impressive number for a game that doesn't have cars as it's focal point... this is no GTA, yet R* still wants to deliver plenty of options as always... 1) how was the driving?? did it "feel" like GTA except with more weight?? i loved GTAIV's real-world physics and had a blast driving all sorts of vehicles around... will it feel like i was driving a cognoscenti minus the reckless killing?? 2) how did the shootouts feel, did you have any of those?? was the cover system decent, did the guns feel responsive?? 3) did the game get harder the more that you had to investigate and bounce around the map, losing leads and messing things up?? or did it just become longer and tedious instead?? i guess i was figuring that the more you took the hard route, the harder the game made the action... i am jealous that you get to experience these things man... you're one of the few that get this kind of star treatment from the industry itself and i love that R* embraces the fanbase like they do... you represent a GTA fanbase, yet got VIP trips for RDR and LA noire as well... how cool is that??

it's a rental for me, someday this summer... it never interested me but, i have a friend that owns it for the PC and i'd love to try out the cross-platform online... but i am not really interested in the game itself...

i didn't even really like dragons age once i got to the end ... i gave it a shot and came away not impressed when it was all said and done... so much so that i don't even want to play DA2... the world felt like lord of the rings and quite honestly started to annoy me after i reached level 15... i like sci-fi fantasy, which is why i am interested in playing mass effect 2... but i am not into the dungeon and dragons kind of world much anymore... too geeky for me i guess...

i'll explain my reasoning once again for the new board because it is NOT just fallout with swords for me, not even close... i don't really like the whole swords and elves fantasy games all that much to begin with, i just don't get into that kind of fantasy world... i like my fantasy games grounded in reality, or in space... i mean come on, there's lizard people and cat people, WTF?!? plus, i didn't really like oblivion and i am very selective when it comes to RPG's because of it... but i am not going to toss skyrim to the side because of my experience with oblivion, i am willing to wait it out and see if it grows on me... just because i am not enamored over it, doesn't mean i am not interested in it... i am holding judgment for a much later date... like near release...

i've read a couple previews in the past few days about this game... while i am quite impressed with what i have read, really impressed to be honest, and the pictures i have seen are amazing, but i am still not sure if i really want to play this... i am just not sure if this is the world i want to be a part of... now, there might not be much else in the way of new releases when this comes out so, that could factor into the decision... but lets just say it's not high on my list...

my best friend, who doesn't play games often, has a PS3 and i borrowed his a couple months before i bought mine, which swayed my decision to buy one in the first place... he had uncharted and it blew me away... i work with 2 PS3 players, know a couple others, and most of the people from this site are PS3 players too... we were the only system that got the GTAIV deathmatches and RDR stuff going ...

i bought it when it was $400... since then i've invested $80 into a much bigger HDD... i guess if i would of waited for the slim i would of saved some money but, i was ready for the switch two years prior to the price drop... it was the GTA effect that forced it's hand in my decision to purchase something... and buying a 360 just didn't feel right either since the few gaming friends i do have, already owned one ... i don't have any 360 gaming friends ...

this is the exact same reason that brought me to the next gen... R* FTW!! and i've always been a playstation console owner so i continued my partnership into the next gen... it's nothing against xbox, i've just been happy with the content sony provides to make them my primary system of choice... you know (i know you all know), LA noire used to be a sony exclusive... until team bondi burned thru a ton of money developing the tech, then realized that multiplat was the only profitable avenue... and i am sure it will be a profitable avenue for both bondi and R*... didn't sony put some money up front for development too?? i think that's also another probability as to why R* has been rewarding playstation owners lately... a bit of a payback for the patience they've invested into the project...

it's true, not sure why there would be any backlash... microsoft fanboys know how their company operates... unless they are blind loyal followers who don't read any news story pertaining to their 1st party developers... ohh wait, i don't think they have any 1st party developers anymore ... ohh that's right, they have rare, who makes kinect games...

i doubt it... while at first i thought the walton gang outfit looked cool, it just didn't fit john or jack's personality... it made them look weird... while solomon's folly was exploited online for fast level gaining, it wasn't nearly the cheat people thought it was... you could do that at just about any gang hideout... the single player version however, could be exploited heavily for money if you already have the solomon's gang outfit, as i indicated in the guide i wrote up ... so i don't think anyone really cared about missing out on a few extra goodies... completionists and fanboys will argue but, most don't really care... i think the same could be said for the LA noire exclusive content... R* has always been loyal to sony... they only released the episodes for the xbox exclusively because microsoft paid for it... sony has always been R*'s favorite company to work on because they value and respect sony's business model... sony reaches out to developers and works with them... miscosoft just buys loyalty... so it makes perfect sense that R* games are constantly rewarding sony fans because they were kind of always a sony company anyways... they just saw the big picture and realized that multiplatform was the best decision from a business perspective... if they didn't see it that way, i guarantee R* would still be an exclusive developer for sony...

if anything, it would probably be an exclusive mission, or stranger mission... i don't think they'd get much of a backlash if they just gave PS3 players simple things like they did with RDR and what they plan to do with LA noire... i highly doubt they'd do an entire episode as an exclusive anymore...

if R* announces AGENT at E3 then, there will be no GTA announcement considering that both agent and max payne will be featured at E3... maybe all of these rumors of voice-acting for GTA were in fact for AGENT... or maybe not, AGENT might be well ahead of schedule for voice acting... either way, i've been waiting for more information on AGENT besides a logo and a sentence...
