Sony's Welcome Back problem.Follow

I had issues with it. I was able to get Infamous downloaded, but I'm having trouble with Wipe out.

I got Little Big Planet without a problem. Downloaded Infamous, but haven't installed it yet.

I had no problems at all, you guys are just dumb. So, stop being dumb.


Jeeze, dummies.

For the most part. There are some interesting tricks, if I remember correctly.

You can also design your own world, if you like. I'm not creative enough or patient enough to really sit down and do something like that, but some people have done some really interesting things. I played a few of the player created levels, and some of them are terrible, some of them are really neat.

I SO should have gotten LBP instead of Infamous.

Little Big Planet is great as a social game, but gets incredibly boring solo.

SpoilerI chose to save the doctors, and happily, at that (more on that later). So I wasn't aware of that. Seems kind of silly though, yeah. I would think that most people who bought the game would play through twice, to see both endings, so logically most people would get that experience. It kind of breaks the immersion, eh? Makes the developers' hands a bit too visible.

As far as Trish goes: I breathed a happy sigh when she died. I did an evil playthrough, and was growing very tired of her incessant nagging. I feel that was emblematic of the game's big weakness (the karma system). They've pigeonholed me into picking straight good, or straight evil, which was bad enough. Now they hamstring my evil Cole, who's apparently willing to fry thousands of civilians who cross his path, by making him answer to his obnoxious girlfriend? Why? It'd be one thing if the game fleshed out their relationship, but it never did. I don't know why Cole cares about her. From day 1 on an evil play through, she treats him miserably, yet whenever she tells him to jump, he says "How high?". Sure doesn't make Cole seem very omnipotent or evil. Matter of fact, all the chores that you get suckered into doing for the mission-givers makes Cole seem much more like an errand boy than a super villain. Him remarking about that in the game doesn't make it okay. For an evil character, I spent about 95% of the game making the city safer.

Evil Cole has no development. His reactions to people barely change at all...there's only a sentence or two that suggest that he's getting more evil. Other than the karmic decision moments, and him getting pale as a ghost, there's no evil characterization until the very end (during which his suddenly very evil persona comes straight out of left field).

Really, it's everything that Allegory hates about Bioware games, now that I think about it (though I think this was a much better example).

Oh, she still nags you even if you're good? I had figured that she only did that to evil Cole.

Lol, yeah. She ends up softening up a bit, and then saying that you two should talk about your relationship when it's all over. Dunno what the evil side is like.

Seems pretty fun so far. I'm not very far in but I enjoy playing Parkour man around the city. Makes me want to go out and break my ankle IRL. Ahh to be young again.

SpoilerShe eventually dies hating Cole for what he's become. At least that's what happens if you stick exclusively to evil the way I have. She dies during one of the first missions on the third island if you choose the evil option. Not sure what she'd say if you chose the good option, which apparently saves her life.

Beat Infamous on Evil (and Hard) yesterday after already beating it as a good guy. As stated, the game makes more sense when you're a good guy. I genuinely liked the game barring the fact that it was ****-easy. If I knew it was this good I might've bought it off of my own accord before.

As for the other games, I've been playing LBP pretty hardcore since way before the Welcome Back program. I just picked it so I wouldn't have to use my brother's copy all the time, but how are Wipeout and Dead Nation treating you guys? I've heard some horror stories about Wipeout, depending on your reactions I may actually bother using my other account to download these games.


(Oooooooh. Green. I quite like green.)
