Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

FFXIII just arrived. I hope this goes well...XD

I hope you enjoy that game! I certainly did (although I still need to finish off the final boss).

@slapshot im so jealous..kinda wishing i was PS+ right now haha. anyone picked up swarm?

Ha, Blockbusters are falling like flies, and I nabbed a copy today myself really cheap. It will be a few months before I fire it up, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

For MickeyMac Yakuza 4 Demo Impressions
It's a straight-forward combat challenge demo. It offers no story or anything remotely close to an idea of what the storyline will be about. What it does give, is a few stages and characters to beat the crap out of few baddies is perfect Yakuza style. I love the old-school feel to Yakuza, and the weapons in this game are great. If your a fan of the series, the slither of the game that the demo provides shows that Yakuza 4 is a true sequel in combat - story, I have no idea.

Socom 4 Beta
I thought that the Move controls were perfect in Killzone 3, but Socom 4 just might take an edge over Killzone 3. I'm so impressed with the Beta so far, it feels like the Socom I remember, but with a touch of Modern Warfare splice in it as well.

@Slappy: I've never played a SOCOM game before, but don't mention Modern Warfare, please. I don't need my opinion of the beta tainted before I ever try it.

Hey guys, I bought a PS3/Killzone 3 bundle roughly a week and a half ago. I also bought Final Fantasy XIII and Fallout 3. I'm enjoying all of them so far, particularly Fallout, and plan on getting a lot more games in the coming weeks and months. My PSN ID is johnboy424. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that I'd be here from time to time.

@jaw - nice man welcome to the club...I hope you enjoy XIII (I certainly did) and I'm envious of Killzone 3....saw it recently and it's so far improved over 2 it's almost hilarious.

@jaw51.... congrats man, and welcome to our little PS3 hideaway!

Be sure to check us out at www.movemodo.com too. It's all of us writers from here that run the sister site as well.

@Stuff... It's NOTHING like MW2! In the respawn Suppression mode, if you get enough kills in a row you gain an airstrike. That is the only similarity, but a new thing for the series. I think you might like this one Stuff. Uncharted takes a lot of its gameplay (shooting/cover) from the SOCOM franchise.

Hey, I was wondering. Did anyone else get an email from PSN saying that there's new Terms and Conditions and User Agreements and all that crap? Just wanna make sure it's not phishing,

@Xk: Nah, haven't gotten anything like that. Sounds kinda weird, mind sharing contents? :3

yay! Another Sony player! I'll add you to my friends list - so expect an invite from monkeybear2001.

Then I'll riddle your broken body with bullets in Killzone (not really, I suck at that game, but I enjoy playing it).

Nier and Resonance of Fate come in tomorrow! And I still have to get Legend of Mana and Parasite Eve off PSN...and I still have to finish Vagrant Story! When did PS3 get so awesomely full of desirable content?

Yeah, I got one of those emails too. It seems really suspicious to me. I would refrain from clicking that link and entering your password. If it really is Sony then chances are that you will receive a notification regarding this supposed new contract on your PS3 through an official update.

Yeah I got the email today @Xk. It seems weird, but I'm not sure.

Here's a thread about it on the PS forums http://community.us.playstation.com/message/31023424

I opened the link, and it just takes you to some FAQ thing on the playstation site, not requiring a password or anything like.

I just wanted to say hey fellow PS3/Wii owners!. I just found this thread so I will be checking this more often. My PSN ID: Ryno1221

I like it a LOT so far! =D I just beat the first boss and now I have to deal with the shifting roles thing and I haven't got the hang of it. >_<

EDIT: And how the hell can people say the beginning is slow and boring?? I was expecting nothing but tutorial and killing weak monsters or something but it starts out in a freaking battlefield! Twilight Princess, now that game is the king of boring tutorial opening hours....

@Stro - i got the email too...it was all plain text, came from a weird source, and asked me to click a link and enter my account info/password...I saved the email and plan on contacting Sony directly about it later. It definitely asked for personal info and didn't seem above-board. Why would Sony need my password anyway--via email?

@Popy - dude amen. I was so engaged from the opening hours just cause of how awesome the entire opening area was. I was so stunned-by-eye-candy I didn't have time to breathe until I killed the first boss/gained the Crystarium grid/role-shifting. 3 weeks and 70ish hours of gametime later? Game = beaten.

Something important to keep in mind that the game doesn't teach you--there's a "perfect" way to role-switch. If you switch your party's roles right as your main is finishing the last move in his combo (the last little rectangular section) you'll have a full ATB bar as soon as you're done with the role switch instead of having to wait for it to fill back up. In this fashion you can juggle enemies between COM-RAV-RAV and RAV-RAV-RAV (or something similar) to combo super-quickly with the added bonus of getting turns faster. Later on in the game (once you have 6 ATB section w/ ever char) it becomes essential. <3 that game.

If you're already into it, the game has nowhere to go but up You'll love it.

I've got it too, but I'm not entering a thing. If they want info then they will get it in an update via PSN!

i got the email...havent done anything about it though cause it seemed phishy
