I just saw that. I'm skeptical with zombie games now-a-days. 

Oh and..

I agree. 

Really not that keen on it at all now.

Supposedly the old build/basic stuff which went into the game was made by Kojima Productions but a lot of it was scrapped and now the game is being developed by Platinum Games who basically only ever make hack n slashes.

The graphics look pretty good for a console title (MGS4 still looks amazing for it's time) and the physics engine looks pretty cool too. That being said, I really don't buy or play Metal Gear games to slice someone into 35 pieces. Not to mention it looks kinda gimmicky. I guess if the game allows you to play using stealth, you could pull off some amazing manoeuveres although the trailer doesn't look like it'll let you do that at all.

Something else which is looking really interesting:

If that's actually being rendered by the PS3 then Naughty Dog have surprised me yet again. Somehow I think this is going to end up playing like Uncharted in the world of I Am Legend, though. If it's an open world/RPG-ish game then I'm keen.

Wow. Just wow. It looks SO BAD. Action looks slow and clunky (and nonsensical with the people-dicing scenes) and the dialogue comes straight out of 1988. I mean, Metal Gear has always been silly, but this is just ridiculous.

Well this server had no team balance at all because they did not care.

And I just discovered that there are TF2 trading servers. I wish I had known earlier that people don't care about weapons if they aren't Strange or whatever, I just traded the random crap I accrued till now for all the medic items I wanted. I could have gotten those hours ago, but anyway, hooray in-game economy!

Wait, you need to dont you?

I'm 99.99999% certain all PS3 patches are optional for single player games. If not, you can just turn off the wifi/unplug the etherenet cable/disable internet connection from the PS3 menu.

  Heh, now I know what you were talking about with the source mods Colin. I just accidentally wandered onto a server with low gravity, 100% crits and a dice mod. I can't believe I can get achievements from this: I just whored a few taking advantage of the ease with which I can kill people on it with the syringe gun and bonesaw and god mode (although I failed because I confused what the achievement was and killed a bunch of people with the bonesaw when really I needed to be trying to kill scouts with the syringe gun). And the other players were just as retarded as the server: I kept killing spies with the bonesaw when they were cloaked...

Yeah, those TF2 games kind of sucked, clearly I should stay from Colin as he is cursed. I have much better luck wandering around into random games. At least I got the Amputator, it took them long enough to finally drop me a medic item.


I was doing the best when I wasn't on your team, haha

I love the series in general but while it does have some drawbacks,SRIII is definitely the most over the top.You just haven't lived until you've beat some punk to death with a 4 foot purple dildo bat called "The Penetrator"...........

What an absolute joke. Good to know the Red Cross are using their resources well.

It'd be terrible if I just said Im gunna stick my head in the sand and long as it functions I wont think about it?

Also Dark Souls, know anything of it/have it?

edit: I guess might as well note, I have noticed the "freeze step" a bit more often, as well as pretty heavy lag but only in a crowded part of Whiterun, usually. Still though that happens infrequently and can't say I've seen a progression, just intermittent. Overall running fine.

Hopefully it's just what it is and not giving up the ghost. Hasn't gotten any worse since. Yet.
edit edit: ah ok, yeah that was over my head Joel but reading the comments pretty much sums it up. Well, sounds like it is just an issue with the workings of PS3 itself (thus why nothing has fixed it for you) and possibly, it's inevitable it'll get worse?
Sure hope notCry especially since I HAD this for 360 but couldn't find my controllerEmbarrassed so I traded it for the PS3 version!!!


I thought Joel said people with 360s were also experiencing it now?


Dont matter, was just noting the irony that I originally bought this  for 360. I should find that controller thinking about it.
Put in too much time by now, just gunna keep with it and pray mine is a lucky one that doesn't have problems.

The problem is much less significant/frequent on Xbox but its' still most definitely present. More and more people on the Bethesda forums are asking about it. Also, Pete Hines has denied what the New Vegas dev said although Bethesda are nowhere near trustworthy these days. IGN called out Bethesda on the lag which I didn't expect to happen either. This is getting more and more interesting.


Also, this has been floating around:

Last time I checked, people don't use twitter to spam their friends Coca Cola ads
