• BioWare: "Sony won't let us run Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Challenges on PS3"

• ThemisB 12/04/2012

  Strange, because the first couple of these challenge weekends were on PS3. I played on them. The first was for those N7 'rare' weapons, and the second was extra XP. Reply +1

• Mass Effect 3: PS3 frame-rate issues persist in final game

• ThemisB 09/03/2012

  I've been playing this all day on PS3. After some choppy moments during the initial cutscenes and traversal section (i.e. the demo section), I haven't experienced any issues apart from the odd random stutter here or there. Doesn't seem any worse than ME2, even during larger battles.
  
  Maybe EG should play more than the first 10 minutes of the game before delivering such a damning verdict. Reply +2

  HotD 3 won't be quite the same without the pump-action shotgun controller. Still looking forward to these though, after I'm done with Overkill. Reply +6

• Game of the Week: Stranger's Wrath HD

  Bought it yesterday and was up till 3am playing it. Brilliant game and easily one of the best HD remakes I've seen, looks stunning. Reply +3

• Telling Tales: Skyrim and Dark Souls

• ThemisB 07/12/2011

  I agree with some of this article, but you're still a bit harsh on Skyrim. Plenty of the dungeons, ruins, caves and mines you explore have their own story to tell, often independent of any quest. Reply 0

• PS3 gets Battlefield 3 DLC first

• ThemisB 22/09/2011

  It's only a week for fuck's sake. Does that even count as a timed exclusive?
  
  Played MP and SP at the Expo on PS3 today - it looks gorgeous, and I'm sure the 360 version will be identical. I think DICE always lead with the PS3 (apart from the PC in BF3's case, obviously); the 360 version is probably just a few weeks behind, so they don't want to show it yet in case the pixel-counting fanboys start an unnecessary shitstorm.

• EU PlayStation Store update 21st Sept

• ThemisB 21/09/2011

  Anyway, on-topic: don't let that stupid Driver: SF price put you off what really is a great game. You can get it for around £33 from ShopTo on 360 and PS3, and probably less preowned - don't forget that Ubisoft screwed up the online pass, so used copies can still play the multiplayer. Reply +1

• ThemisB 21/09/2011

  Shouldn't idiotic, insulting trolls like djclownshoes be banned for clogging up every thread with his nonsense? I'm sure he's been here before under another name too... was probably banned (Sony's fault, obviously!), now he's back with a vengeance! Reply +8

  Aren't Ubisoft always complaining about this gen of consoles lacking power? And they can't even get HD ports right?

• Battlefield 3 pre-order DLC boycott

• ThemisB 13/06/2011

  Aren't they just early unlocks? Probably all stuff you'll get in your first few hours online anyway. I still agree that these preorder 'incentives' are stupid, but I'm not worried about anyone having an advantage because of them. Reply -3

• ThemisB 01/04/2011

  For anyone who wants to try this, you can get a one month free trial of the premium service via the XMB. Just don't forget to cancel the auto-renewal straight away (account management/auto-renewal) so you don't start getting charged when the trial runs out.

  Does Plants vs Zombies win the prize for worst value per MB? Seriously though, it's £1.79 on iPhone and £3.99 on iPad. I've never played it and was tempted to pick it up on PSN, but I'm not paying that. Reply +11

• Users demand PS3 Black Ops refund

• ThemisB 24/11/2010

  The matchmaking/lobby system is a bit of a nightmare on PS3. The freezes seem to happen to whoever's hosting the game.
  
  Pretty annoying overall, but hardly game-breaking. Reply 0

• GT5 installs while played - Sony

• ThemisB 19/11/2010

  @RodHull
  
  I believe it's because the PS3's Blu-Ray drive is much slower than any DVD drive. Which is the reason most PS3 games need an install in the first place.
  
  Preordered this a few mins ago \o/ Reply +2

• Killzone 3 Multiplayer Beta

• ThemisB 03/11/2010

  I never thought I'd see the day Progguitarist was called a 360 fanboy. Unbelievable. Just goes to show what forum tards are capable of.
  
  Everyone commenting here who has played the beta was a huge fan of KZ2. I put hundreds of hours into it. I wanted KZ3 to be amazing. But it's flawed at such a fundamental level that as much as I'd like to think it's salvageable, it probably isn't.
  
  If you want to know in detail what everyone thinks is wrong with it, learn how to use a fucking forum and go find the KZ3 thread. Reply +1

• ThemisB 17/10/2010

  "To illustrate, the hardcore FPS community were up in arms over the fact you couldn't move into a prone position in Bad Company 2, and the same limitation is in effect here"
  
  A thousand times no. Prone in BC2 would be horrible, and it's generally those who prefer the sniper class who whine about it not being allowed.
  
  If BC2 had prone sniping, I'd have rage-quit the game months ago. Can't say the same for MoH as I haven't played it since the beta, but from what I hear there's already problems with campers. Prone would just make things worse. Reply +9

• How many hidden Vaults in Fallout: NV?

• ThemisB 15/10/2010

  After the first patch, the PS3 version was playable. The GOTY version, however, was a complete and utter joke. The framerate was laughable at times, it constantly froze and every time I tried to start the Mothership Zeta episode the game just crashed.
  
  I loved FO3, but I got rid of the GOTY version without even bothering to finish most of the episodes. I didn't even start Broken Steel. No idea if they've patched it since.
  
  So the vanilla version is ok now, but unless you can find out whether the GOTY edition was patched, I'd avoid it. Reply +1
