The thing I hate about this is that we're paying $60 a year for a service that 3 days after an "attack" is still not fix.

This whole thing makes me glad I never bothered with PSN. Although that's largely because our internet couldn't handle it (and also I have no money).

That's sarcasm, right?

There's no way that Fez, Steamworld Dig, The Binding of Isaac, Spelunky are awful.

No, those are great, but you might be talking about Xbox Live - I was saying about the awful free indie games of PS Plus. When I joined, there were Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Payday 2, Borderlands, NBA 2K14 and more for free. In the last months, just some boring indie titles.

They will likely add x number of days onto the end of everyone's subscription to make up for downtime. I know it's not perfect, but they do have a good track record of at least doing that.

All of those I mentioned have been part of the free games for PS4 in the last months! Don't Starve and Trine 2 as well.

You're lucky then - us PS3 users have lots of sh*t. The free Hitman trilogy and Deadly Premonition were an improvement though.

Along with which, PS4 users got Injustice: Gods Among Us. Yeah, the December goodies were awesome! Hopefully we'll see more big stuff like this in the upcoming months.

I picked up Suikoden I & II from the Playstation Store last week, having only heard great things about them (particularly the 2nd) and went into them blind. I'm about 6 hours into the first game, and I can't put it down! I highly recommend them if you're a fan of JRPG's at all.

So since November I've been replaying all of the Assassin's Creed games in release order, seeing how they've held up after my initial opinions. After I beat AC3 about two days back, I finally got a chance to play Liberation for the first time (the HD port was part of the "Americas Collection" pack I bought for PS3). I gotta say, Revelations isn't my least favorite game anymore. Liberation is a snoozefest. The plot is boring, its pacing is terrible, New Orleans is boring, the bayou is a nightmare to navigate, the acting is horrendous, the rewards for doing the little side content there is is never worth it, and (thankfully) the game is so short that you can blow right through it in two days like I just did. I get that it was a Vita game, but sheesh. Thankfully, AC4:BF is next on my agenda, and I love that game. And after that I'll finally play Rogue. And maybe Unity once I get a PS4.

One thing I do appreciate that they did was allow you to replace Aveline's silly little hat with the traditional assassin hood if you wished. I did that and dyed everything white, because it's AC, damn it.

yup. just sunk 40 hours into the first game and about to start the second. Loved the first growing up, but this was the first time beating it. Never played II so I'm pretty psyched to get it started!
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.

Now that I have a decent laptop I am finally able to participate in the Steam Holiday sale, and I'm quite happy about that! Picked up FTL, Rogue Legacy, Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm waiting for a bunch of stuff to go up on Daily Deals and whatnot. I know I missed out on Papers Please which I really want to play but I'm hoping I get lucky and they put it up again for $2.50. Still, $4.99 isn't bad at all.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

So I got Dragon Age Inquisition for the XB1 and it's a seriously amazing game. The thing is though, there are fairly significant frame lagging and texture pop-ins, especially during cutscenes. It's not a gamebreaker by any stretch nor is it as bad as AC:Unity pre-patch, but it is quite noticeable and takes away from such an awesome game. Not to mention that the last-gen versions of DA:I are just a complete mess from what I've heard. Is it really too much to ask for a game to be 100% finished and bug-free on release date?

Yeah, I hate getting a new game only to have to install updates every few weeks. It was bad on PS3, and from what I have seen of my friend's next gen systems, it has gotten even worse. Only Nintendo seems to release finished games, and even they have updates now.

I give little to no fuck about the PSN being down but my problem is that when it's down Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and HBO GO won't sign in.

Love Fez. The atmosphere of that game is fantastic, even if some of the puzzles are impossibly hard without some internet assistance. Shame the creator's such a knob.

That's my biggest complaint as well. There are three other services I pay for (not including PSN) that are unusable because Sony's software is poorly thought out. Luckily I had an Amazon Fire Stick laying around.
