Mortal Kombat. I couldn't use my pass since PS Store isn't up so i used the 2-day trial. Ima play AC: Brotherhood when i get from school (if it's still up by then).
Bought Uncharted 2 saturday then was told PSN back online. But i had to wait untill Sunday to play it. From playing the beta back in 09, I didn't like only 10 people or I didn't like seeing the same characters running around(addressed in U3)
I played BFBC 2 Vietnam and took half a match to get used to it (again, I had a week to play it before PSN got attacked) then started ripping it up with the M16.
The first thing I did was share my Cole McGrath mod in Modnation racers (please check him out. He's the inFAMOUS 2 version and he's made by Pikminmaniac. I'm rather proud of him). I also played my very first online race and got first (by a very large margin).
I didn't miss PSN (online gaming)as much as I thought I would. And my main concerns regarding the outagehave always been my favorite 2 online games, Warhawk & MAG. Since these games don't have any offline campaign& they are both a little older, I thought the outage might kill their popularity. As soon as Ifinished changing my password& loading/installing the new firmware, I loaded upWarhawk & got my game on. And it was ablast, as always. Tonight, after the wife & kids go to sleep, I'll load-up & play MAG into the wee hours of the morning. I have no doubt it will not disappoint. And for the next couple weeks (or maybe months) I will alternate my late night gaming between Warhawk & MAG. I learned one important thing from the PSN outage, certain video game experiences just feel more fleeting than others. Not to say that all enjoyment of playing video game isn't transient (what in life isn't),but playing an online only video game just feels more like watching a falling star,it's an almost magical experiencethat is over too soon.
Finally started playing MAG for the first time, the fact that its my first ever online console shooter and that I never really mastered playing FPS games with a controller is really counting against me at the moment. Got a k\d ratio of 0\8 in my first match. But I'll stick with it, looks like it can be a very rewarding game with all the skill trees and such.
