Yeah, there are actually people clamoring for a Far Cry 3 Remaster, which is just totally unnecessary.

Today's News:
1) While the game managed to launch on Greenlight, Valve has recently pulled Hatred off of Steam with no plans of allowing it back. The game became infamous due its strong gameplay focus as a potential mass murder-like simulator and the developer claiming it to be an anti-PC message. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014...ed-from-steam/ 2) The Humble Bundle stated around $50 million has been raised for charities since their launch four years ago and gave their thanks to everyone who has contributed over the years. http://www.screwattack.com/news/humb...000000-charity 3) Nintendo revealed the newest batch of game rewards for Club Nintendo include Metroid (Wii U) and A Kappa's Trail (3DS) among the list of 8 games available. http://www.destructoid.com/club-nint...3-285022.phtml |
Lulz seeing Hatred reminded me of my PS2 days playing Manhunt and State of Emergency.

That's awesome.

They got hit hard. Full blown doxxing, the one and only time I'm down for that. They could have spared the family FB info, though.

Beat Volgarr. Have to totally disagree with you drave. Controls great, and there's a lot of stuff that seems cheap when you first encounter it, but it's nothing that can't be overcome with a little skill. Obviously, if you don't know it's coming, you're probably going to die, but that trial and error system is part of every challenging platformer ever.
Also didn't REALLY beat it yet. There is a secret final level and boss that you get by beating the Valkyrie levels which are accessed by finishing the level with pyreflies. You get those by opening 7 chests without getting hit. SO it's pretty fucking tough, but definitely doable. |

Disrupting game servers, with what essentially is just a large scale DDoS, does not make it okay for the family of the dumb hackers to be exposed.
The hackers get what is/was coming to them, but their family most likely had no clue about what they were doing. IF they did doxx, then I failed to read the story. |
Lizard Squad just DDoS'd servers, they never doxxed people from what I know.
I dig that they got what was coming to them but Anon could have had some mercy about the family stuff. They could have made their point with the full names and pics really. |
Or all these fucking clowns could all just go fuck themselves entirely
|
Distinction. Anon has done a lot of good. Lizard Squad is shit.
|
Was Anonymous not responsible for previous PSN server hacks?
|
No.
|
In fact I can tell you right now Anon doesn't really concern themselves with commerce issues. They are almost purely social-political.
|
You can say that, but with a leaderless movement and "everyone" being Anon, it is kinda hard to actually know innit?

Supposedly Lizard Squad got bribed with premium Mega filehost accounts in order for them to end the attacks on XBL (and PSN) for now. Guy took full credit for the truce instead of the possibility of Sony and Microsoft doing more to help end the attacks on their end.

Truce? Whatever.
These guys need to go to prison. |
Every member of Lizard Squad should light themselves on fire then proceed to hang themselves.....in traffic.
|
Some of those things would be hard to do together.
|
Well they seem to think very highly of their skills so I am absolutely positive they can figure out some way to pull it off. I mean these guys know how to DDoS and that is the absolute pinnacle of hacking.
|
It's the pinnacle of something because end result is end result. Those fuckers need a visit from a few friends of mine. Just to talk of course.

Of course.

PSN is still down for PS4. I can still get in on PS3 for some reason.

For those with an Origin account, might be wise to check the current status of it and/or change your passwords since hackers might have tried to attack the service recently.

Sony states as part of their apology for the recent PSN downtime, all Playstation members will get a 10% Off coupon for the PS Store while PS+ members get an additional 5 days added to their account for free.
The coupon applies to everything made in a single purchase and not just a discount on a single item. Only catch is neither offer is currently available to get right now. Quote:
|
I'd much rather get a free month tacked on at the end of Plus than a mere 10% off an order on the store.
Not like I buy digital games on a regular basis. And besides, they want us to pay for their apology? No thanks, toss another free game or 2 my way like in response to the last major hack and we'll call it even. |

Sony should really get their shit together on the software side of things. Though I suppose the outage could also be hardware related. If I owned a PS4 and played multplayer often, I would be a tad bit upset.

Gonna re-up my Gold sub this weekend just for this beta. I'll rep you my gamertag. Some people struggle with it, just sayin.
|
f'sho. Figgy said he's on the retail, which I assume means he'll be rockin' the beta as well (is it really a beta if the game has gone gold?).
Kalyx...its free. Fuckin' do it. |
Feel like it is more of a demo than beta. THink the beta part comes in with their servers/network capacity and performance. Good to "beta" it for sure.
It will most likely be late in the evening when I do jump on. I have a kid n stuff, have to take care of fam first :y: |
