[ZombiEEEEEz]

Totally agree with all your points there, and indeed the price of new release games are dropping to silly prices within the first month usually. After 2 months or so they are rock bottom. I mean, stuff like Rage is £10 everywhere for the anarchy edition!

[Snestastic]

@ZombiEEEEEz Thanks Dude, exactly it makes you not want to buy any games on day one. I'm seriously thinking of not buying any new games untill dec 2012/jan 2013 but just don't know if I can actually wait that long lol.

I finished uncharted 3 a day ago i have to say it was a superb game and so far has only had one patch, this game must be better quality tested than most .The worst part is i have never played 1 and 2 so will now have to get them the main game seems to have been the priority with this one took me 12 hours to complete an i enjoyed it even the puzzles .

[Snestastic]

@paulb4uk Nice one Paul, yep seems Naughty Dog really do care about the quality of their games. You'll love the 1st two games also dude, would be good to hear which is your fave when you have finished them :)

[gearsofwill9]

and also who made rules for gaming digital or not its about fun there are no rules on how a game is supposed to be played or made or n e thing its a blank slate its art

[Snestastic]

@gearsofwill9 I agree and it's freedom of choice, I just have no interest in digital only gaming or even just digital downloads as they are these days. I like to own the game in a disc or cart format. I use own in a loose sense though as according to MS and Sony we don't own it lol

[gearsofwill9]

@Snestastic yea i def agree with you there. There is alot more that can go wrong with a hardrive if one disc breaks one game breaks. If u harddrive breaks all your games break.

[Snestastic]

@gearsofwill9 lol no probs thanks dude I appreciate your comments, I like to hear all sides of a discussion :) I would argue they should have made Skyrim work before selling it so that people don't have to suffer the bugs and wait for numerous patches though.

[Snestastic]

@gearsofwill9 Thanks dude, lol well tbh I can live without HD upgrades of resi 4 and crysis so it doesn't bother me too much.

[Snestastic]

@gearsofwill9 Trye but if your hard drive corrupted and the downloads are no longer available cause say microsoft are no longer in the console business you lose the game. I'd much rather they give us the option and put those games as a compilation on a disc as well :)

[Snestastic]

@RetroBob2084 Too True Bob, real shame though as would be great to get some new titles for the classics consoles :)

[Snestastic]

@shockz16 Thanks Adam, lol so true mate, unfortunately I think a lot of people have come to accept that's how it is now. They have become accustomed to unfinished games which will be patched at a later date instead of moaning about it which is the right response :)

[Snestastic]

@johnwilliamson47 £60? seriously? lol who the hell is gonna buy that? That's just crazy :)

[johnwilliamson47]

yo pete, i agree 100% with you here, im getting a bit tired with short games, bullying dodgy companies trying to beg and almost steal every penny we have with dlc, and just crappy rehashed games, i agree theres only the odd one id play again, did u hear ea are charging 60 quid for a car dlc in a need for speed world it's madness and unless people stop paying digital stuff it's only gona get worse :(

[shockz16]

Great response & great points well made Pete. Updates & installs are the bane of a modern gamers life they are just ridiculous. As for patches this really pisses me off, i think the worse example for me was Gran Turismo 5 how many years did that get delayed then it still wasnt complete, i moaned then people was like yeah but they'll patch it later, now to me thats like buying a car you getting everything but the wheels & the seller saying we'll send the wheels for it later.. no i want it now!

[RetroBob2084]

I really dislike digital distribution too. New games on old consoles will (unfortunately) never going to happen.

@SMAAAASHTV

I am also useless with twin analog sticks for fps i have almost mastered walking around but aiming often screws me up .I am fine with keyboard and mouse playing battlefield 3 on the ps3 at the moment but will be glad when i have it on the pc i might be able to get more than 10 kills a game ..

[gearsofwill9]

@dark1ankh never had this problem but i hear it alot with the ps3 downloads unlesss it is an internet problem idk ive never had a patch that took longer than 2 mins tops

[gearsofwill9]

n the thing about updates r Skyrim a complteley single player game and without the update fixes id be playing a less than quality game the updates fix glitches and problem that ruin ur game experience we as consle gamers were behind computers in that fact well not n e more. Im expressing my opinion im a fan and i love ur channel just expressing another view

[ClassicSpinDash]

@Snestastic i'll tell you 1 problem ive got with multiplayer and its trophies, i had 100% uncharted 1 then i got uncharted 2 100% then some stupid patch comes out forcing us to play multiplayer for trophies that really pissed me off if uncharted 3 does this i'll throw it thru my window...ok thats a lie i cud never do that to uncharted lol whats ur opinion on trophies anyway?

[gearsofwill9]

I completley agree with you in the fact that i focus more on single player but truley there is alot of rare digital downloads that you will never see n e where else another example Crysis 1 for 360 simply amazing or Resident evil 4 hd and code veronica hd

[gearsofwill9]

the thing is man there is alot of rare digital downloads that you will not find any where else with out the arcade i would not be enjoying castlevania sotn hd and once it is on ur hardrive no one can take it back even if xbl went out of business u would still have your downloads.

[Snestastic]

@dark1ankh lol so true dude, MS & Sony have screwed the gaming industry a little. 

[Snestastic]

@SMAAAASHTV I'm the opposite dude I can't play FPS with mouse and keyboard, I find it too twitchy and I'm terrible at them lol. Yeah your right about Nintendo, I think if anything they are consistent. Also you can rely on their 1st party titles either being amazing or just great, they are never terrible.

[Snestastic]

@ClassicSpinDash That's ok dude lol Yeah I can see how it can elongate a game such as LBP but for me i've never seen the appeal of DLC for costumes etc. Maybe i'm just old school and for me I just care about a good single player experience and i'm so fussed about all the little extras.
