What does Live do that PSN doesn't?
It has... This.

EPIC WIN! *ahem*

OT: I'm getting more into Pc gaming since I got my rig, but I get subscription cards online, so it doesn't really affect me. I also got a year card not too long ago.

Meh 1$ isn't a difference
Take all of the people that use live monthly and that is how much more money they are going to make every week.
But there are thousands working in the xbox part of microsoft so its only like 0.0000000001 cents each
I meant gross profit not total profit. But yeah multiply that .00000001 by the millions that use it. Still a fair amount.

That's why I bought a PS3. If you don't play online, I don't see the point in Xbox live. I don't, (as I prefer games with real stories and interesting characters) and I opted to get the PS3 because of that. But why are they hiking it? PSN is free, and that's been updating itself for a while now.

all the games you can get on ps3 are on xbox... and metal gear solid and little big planet do not count.... their games in the same way swimming is a sport...

and no im not a live fanboy ... tbh i dislike live and never paid for it again after the first subscription...
Games like God of War 3, Heavy Rain? There are more interesting games for me on the PS3 than on the 360, which of course is why I opted for the PS3. And I don't know what you're talking about. LittleBigPlanet is obviously a video game. And if Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't a game because it has long cutscenes, wait what? That's like saying Halo 3 isn't a game because it's shit. Or that Gear of War 2 isn't a game because the main character has shit for brains. On your basis, what constitutes a game?[/quote


god of war was the worst series ive ever played ... and heavy rain was not far behind it... and gears of war and halo are just as bad.... granted gears of war was fun and intuitave to play but as far as story goes none of these games had even a half decent writer... for the most part games like lbp are for children... they are a niche market simply and only.... mgs4 is a movie.... there is little gameplay to be had... im told playing earlier games would make this more fun and it didnt... no one wants to play a game thats 90 story and 10 percent pressing buttons to make more story happen....
It seems to me you hate all great games. Also the guy you're arguing with forgot InFamous, Killzone, Resistance, Sly Cooper etc.. but still, what game is actually great to you if classics like MGS4, Heavy Rain and Halo are shit?
Do you think this guy is trolling? He's new, and he hates everything. And thank you, I did forget those.



never said i hated them the guy siad they have great stories which they dont... it would help you people could read... the games are fun... not heavy rain or mgs4 but thats just because no sane person spends 110 dollars on a movie.... unless its going to suck you off after watching it..



i like all games as long as there is something fun to do in them... but as far as story goes... it seems like any talentless hack can throw in their 2 bobs worth and be recognised... well at least for sequels... there is no originality anymore

It would help you people could read? Hmm. Okay then. Give me one game with a good story. Or a film.

* it would help if you people could read *

all I?m going to say is no I?m not new I?ve watched ZP from the beginning I just joined now because i was bored and my fav game and or movie would be XIII on ps2 and probably Dude Where's My Car.... and I said MGS 4 isn?t a game because its 90% cut scenes and the rest you get to press a button that?s not a game that?s like saying berihnger makes better amps then Hughes and Kettner or Mesa Boogie.....

as for you remark about me hating classics. ms4 is not a classic is a sequel... the original was a classic hence the sequel .... and heavy rain isn?t a classic.... its popular but not a classic... there was like no actual game play to be had... like i have said previously no one wants to pay 110 dollars for a game that has no game play... unless its giving out gobbies..

With a favourite like Dude Where's My Car, how the fuck are you possibly going to understand the impact of a game such as Heavy Rain, or MGS4? Seriously, you undervalue those, but like that shit?

I'll pay this. If they ramp it up even a penny later on, I am flat out quitting live. I hardly use it any more anyway (though with Reach coming uot, that's sure to change.)

Once again.... do I really have to explain this or is your brain going to start working again... I AM TALKING ABOUT THE GODDAMN FUCKING STORY ...... it was original and very well told... if you want a list of other great movies that a slightly more mature to shut your pretentious ass up.... here we go.. Five Fingers was a very intense physiological thriller that mind fucked everyone who watched it due to the sheer acting ability of Ryan Philippe and i know... he is a poonce... but he played this roll very well and surprisingly didn?t give away the ending like i would have thought even though id previously seen the ending and thought i should watch it in whole to get the foreground.

Jarhead.... not your typical war movie but it really did demonstrate originality by showing how fucking stressful and unbelievably bad the Marine Core is treated.... which takes the view through all ranges of possible human emotions and really gets into the psyche of the Protagonist....

Secret Window ..... a similar plot twist to Five Fingers however it is done so unbelievable well and the story is once again very original that it can be forgiven and praised because Johnny Depp is probably one of the more talented actors today......

Heavy rain is a pretentious river of qte sequences ... the story is bogus and rubbishly told.... watch the zp episode of it... from a game point of view it is nothing... its less than nothing the story doesn?t make up for it because its not a fucking movie you idiot.... and as for mgs4... its the 4th instalment of what can only be described as a mediocre at best game... the action play is terrible and no offense but the story of mgs4 is just bananas and i know i praise originality ... but here i am condemning this game simply because its well shit... it might be "original:" if you haven?t played the other 3 ... but truly it is terrible... I mean when you can?t even find a plot on the internet you know its shit.... and i under value it because it has no place being a FUCKING GAME..... with 90% cut scenes... and 10 % actually getting that game thing back on track.... why not just release it on DVD for the fan boys like you and charge i dunno 70 dollars less for it... its safe to say us people who aren?t a fan boy already aren?t welcome to this game but thank fuck... only a ****** fan boy would like it despite the ridiculousness of the concept who the fuck can be a clone suffering from prem aging with your evil brothers arm grafted on to you bahhahaha with a "man friend and a kid" hahaha homo erotic or what.... don?t argue with the big boys mate... i know you think your smart... but talking smart over the internet doesn?t mean squat because everyone can do it....
