Using Your PS3 Less... - Blu-ray Forum

Moefiz · 04-29-2011, 07:49 PM

Do you find yourself using your PS3 less since the PSN has been down...

Al_The_Strange · 04-29-2011, 07:52 PM

Heck no. I'm still working on both "Dragon Age" games, "Portal 2," a handful of PSN games ("Tetris," "Plants vs Zombies," "Hoard," all single-player), and the occasional Blu-Ray movie.

I''m not big at all with multiplayer gaming, so I can live a while without the PSN.

My PS3's were bought mainly for movie watching...but I found that I was also starting to play more games on them. I will say that I haven't been playing games on it lately but that is because my hard drive is nearly full. Once I update it I will be back to gaming like a maniac.

Mortal Kombat. Cue that techno song.

Dynamo of Eternia · 04-29-2011, 08:05 PM

Not really. For one thing I'm not much of a competitive online gamer. I do And for another the new Mortal Kombat came out recently, and I've been playing that a lot getting through the story mode, challenge mode, etc. So I've probably been using it more than average because I just got a new game.

Cevolution · 04-29-2011, 08:07 PM

I never use the PSN anyway, I've got no use for it, as a matter of fact I hardly use my PS3 anymore since buying a stand alone blu-ray player last November. The last game I sat down and played right the way through was God of War 3 (I bought fight night champions and marvel vs capcom 3 the other month, but I've barely played them) when it got released last year. I'm kind of over video games atm (hopefully gears of war 3 will change that), especially shooter games, because they are all the same and get boring really quickly now, there is only so many CoD's and killzones etc that u can play before they lose their appeal.

I am playing as much as usual, but I am going back through trophy hunting my single player games. Not killing bad guys online.

I am currently working on Uncharted 2 and Infamous platinums. I also finished up the single player of Portal 2 and got all of the single player trophies. Just waiting on the network to come back up before Brink comes out.

kjacobs03 · 04-29-2011, 08:57 PM

No, but I buy games for their single player mode. Not online.

Definitely. I hate playing games (even single-player ones) while not connected to PSN.

I did manage to finish Portal 2 last night though.

Bageara · 04-29-2011, 10:06 PM

Most definately yes

In the same boat has you...just finish playing a game, would you start a new one or wait for the network to come back up.

I do.

I'm a big WipeOut HD online player. But, this down time has help my left thumb to heal from excessive playing. I'm back to watching more blu's than before.

Shagadelic · 04-29-2011, 10:17 PM

50/50 - sometimes I like doing online challenges, other times single player.
Recently doing the clean-up on Red Dead Redemption.

such a great game.

Undead Nightmare

Mortal Kombat is kicking my A$$.

El Negro · 04-29-2011, 10:18 PM

Nope. I actually use it more now because I'm catching up on movies i hadn't seen in my collection.

KrugerIndustrial · 04-29-2011, 10:22 PM

Haven't touched mine in 3 weeks or so.

Todd_Gaines · 04-29-2011, 10:35 PM

I have watched a few BD;s and I watched four lions on NF today on my PS3. Have been waiting to get back online so I can play Socom online with the same people I have been playing with since 03. Want to get Tiger Woods but am waiting until PS3 comes up because I want to d/l the extra courses as well. So I would say "I am using my PS3, but I am not playing any games right now."

I have SO many games I have started but haven't finished yet so I'm hoping to not start anything new (just got Transformers: War for Cybertron today, and I think I'll be getting L.A. Noire in a few weeks

) until I finish some of those...
