Is this happening to anyone else? I don't receive response from PSN, I can't login from my PS3, I'm not even redirected to the login page in their site and cannot open some of their pages. I accessed it earlier today, I even bought a game, but now it just doesn't connect.

Some people have been able to login, but noone has actually been able to play online.Not expecting PSN to be back for a while. If PSN gets crippled this badly on a DDOS attack, it really shows Sony doesn't even have a proper Plan B for this situation.Rajaa said, December 27, 2014, 03:14:56 amI'm missing my exotic upgrades from Xur!He's just going to sell Voidfang Vestaments to Warlocks again.
well you can't really stop a ddos attack from happening. Even Anonymous got involved in trying to take down Lizard Squad, which is funny since they ddosed PSN before.

Good, I hope this is reversed soon, my game was at 62% and the interruption got me really angry. Its even more annoying when I remember that this isn't happening to X-Box One anymore.

I find this to be pretty goddamn depressing since I just got a Vita for Xmas and I can't use the enclosed voucher for Borderlands 2 (Sidenote: I hear that port sucks, but it's pretty much the only Vita game I got this year ). Crossing my fingers for PSN to get back up and running by at least sometime next year.

Their twitter says that the system is gradually coming back online so if we're lucky it'll be back tonight,
Same here. I've had Sony in my life since PS1 but the system just costs way too much and SF5 is the only game I know of that I'd want on it and one game isn't enough to spend that kind of money.PC and WiiU is more than enough this gen.
Really the PS4 and XBO are both embarrassments IMO. This console generation is sorry as hell and I have no plans to join it ATM. Wii U makes an excellent companion to the PC IMO. Plus Nintendo won't make you pay for online like Sony and MS do!
I will probably join it when the second model comes along, right now theres not enough to justify the pull but my growing plus library kinda holds some appeal. Whenever I do join the games that were already out will be cheap as dirt , so I will be able to do the same i did with ps3 and just bank on that.

Also Wii U has it's exclusives, good ones at that.
Woah, guess I'm the oddball here -- I'm partial to the PS4, but then again I can't share any reservations considering I've got it as a surprise gift. :3What I will say however is that the Wii U definitely has the reigns. Plenty of charming exclusives to sink one's teeth into.
Mgbenz said, December 27, 2014, 05:48:54 pmI'll really just get the PS4 once FFXV and KH3 comes along. It's pretty much dead to me right now.Yeah, that's where I'm at too. And with the development cycles of those games it'll have probably had a significant discount so win-win.

"This generation" is gong to last anywhere between 5 and 10 years, not just a year or two. Are you saying there won't be any game you'll buy on the new consoles for all that time, even counting those not yet announced - or even thought of ? Or that the price tag won't go down ?

That much is obvious, but discarding the whole gen like that sounds shallow. Thngs will change, more games will come out. A lot of people wait for that before buying a new console without saying "I'll sit out that generation" so early.

Say you're going to stick with one for the entire gen but give it a year and your opinion's going to change either way.Hell I swore off the Xbox One when all the Draconian stuff was announced but now I'm just apathetic towards it and would actually enjoy one if I ended up with one
Wii U underpowered with no games.lol XBone.PS4 will save console gaming.Funny how things change in a year. Like some kind of wizardry or something.

Or that the price tag won't go down ?I honestly don't think there will be enough console exclusive games to make me get a PS4 this generation. Even the PS3 has been a let down for me and it's still around $180 new! Basically it's mostly my fault. I'm not much of a gamer anymore. Casual 2D fighter play is the only thing that draws me away from Nintendo anymore.But yeah, a lot can change in 5 years. Not impossible I'll change my mind.Last generation I was more "I'll wait" and didn't join the gen till after SF4 came out. This time I really feel I probably just won't get the PS4 the whole gen.
Last gen's systems still generate a profit so they're still kind of expensive. You have to wait until like 3 years into the current gen for the last gen to end. You'll probably be waiting until like 2017 if you want PS3s to go cheap (well working ones anyway, if it's anything like the Vita you'll be able to find tons of busted ones cheap)Hell I still want a PS3 if only for Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Metal Gear Solid 4 and the HD collection, but at the same time I want a 360 because folks I know use that for online.Decisions, decisions

7 years after a console release is quite some time to release a PC port (MGS4 came out in 2008). I also just found out that the HD collection was on 360 too (and Vita but that sounds cumbersome, though having all MGSs on the go sounds nice, even if 3 (I think?) is on the 3DS).
The only way to play MGS4 is still on PS3, none of the collections include it except the Legacy one on the PS3.Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyThis was my opportunity to joke that you can get all of MGS4's "gameplay" from Youtube, but that is simply too much of a low hanging fruit for me.

Also didn't stop FFIII and FFIV, although you could technically say those are ports of the Smartphone versions.DKDC said, December 27, 2014, 06:49:29 pmAren't PC releases still very rare and limited to the AAA games ?Nope. Unless there's a specific console feature that a game has or it's first party, it's gonna come out on PC.
I've heard FF3's port is horrendous too. I only have FF4's port because I'm kind of a fanboy. Also shit, I forgot Sonic games from the Genesis era still get ported
Oh, it's awful. Squeenix sucks when it comes to porting their (non-Eidos) stuff. The original FFVII re-release was almost criminal, 12 dollars for the worst version of FFVII that they literally dug out of the garbage bin and patched to make work in modern times. FFXIII sounds like an unoptimized pile of shit too.
Really, I haven't heard much on FFXIII being a bad port. Then again I didn't follow it that much.Orochi Gill said, December 27, 2014, 06:55:16 pmAlso shit, I forgot Sonic games from the Genesis era still get portedThat reminds me, I need to get around to playing 2 and 3 one of these days.
FF4's text has white noise all over it. They're not making these work properly on the PC, I can tell you this.
Noise, ill.So apparently this is why LizardSquad did it.http://www.dailydot.com/technology/lizard-squad-hackers/QuoteThere was one question on the mind of every gamer this Christmas: Why? Why would anyone ruin Christmas by taking down these gaming networks? The simplest explanation, Lizard Squad told me, was that they did it for the lulz. The hackers also said they wanted to exploit the “incompetence” of Microsoft and Sony, and to prove that anyone who promised to stop them was a liar.“Microsoft and Sony are fucking retarded, literally monkeys behind computers,” Omari said. “They would have better luck if they actually hired someone who knew what they were doing. Like, if they went around prisons and hired people who were convicted for stuff like this, they would have a better chance at preventing attacks.”“If I was working [at Microsoft or Sony] and had a big enough budget, I could totally stop these attacks,” Cleary claimed. “I’d buy more bandwidth, some specific equipment, and configure it correctly. It’s just about programming skill. With an attack of this scale, it could go up to the millions. But that’s really no problem for Sony and Microsoft.”
So basically they're doing it just to be assholes.And trying to get hired for being massive fucking twats.
They're not wrong as far as Sony's concerned. Sony are incompetent as fuck when it comes to this stuff. Ultimately what these DDOs prove is that online gaming services should NOT be "premium" paid services.
DKDC said, December 27, 2014, 06:49:29 pmAren't PC releases still very rare and limited to the AAA games ?nope, it's just that people only make noise about the AAA ones, also nintendo's games while not getting to pc, run on udnerpowered consoles so you know what that means.
