I've never owned a console system but I figured if I ever wanted one I better buy it before inflation really hits. And yes, I do my own grocery shopping so I know inflation's here, I just expect it to get worse. Like Jimmy Carter worse.
I didn't get the system just for playing games. I already have a Hulu Plus account so I expect to use my PS3 to watch movies on my big screen tv instead of moving my laptop around. And I've always wanted a Blue-Ray player. Does this sound like excuse making for spending a lot of money on a game console?
I bought the Uncharted 3: Game of the Year Bundle that also has the DUST 514 content pack from Best Buy since my credit card is giving me 5% back on purchases from Best Buy this quarter. I figure I need to get a first person shooter, which I never play, in order to prepare for DUST and not look like a total noob. Because frankly that's what I am when it comes to console games.
That leads to another concern. I need to learn how to use the controller if nothing else and playing games should help. So what games should I look to buy? Right now I'm looking for something I can play single player so I don't embarrass myself. If anyone has any recommendations please send them my way.
And one more question. How do I get a beta key for DUST?
EDIT: Just saw that Midway Arcade Origins was announced yesterday. To give you an idea, those are among the most recent console games I've played.
You can redeem your beta key in account management in EVE. Just log in and look for voucher redemption and you should be able to get your beta key.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Now I just need to learn how to use the controller. Back in my day, we used a joystick with one button. This thing is hard!
DeleteNoooo! DUST is keyboard/mouse compatible. Plug in an extra set and let the controller rot in a corner.
ReplyDeleteWill the PS3 recognize them right of connecting them directly to console or you need a converter like Eagle Eye?
DeleteOhh get From Dust!!! http://from-dust.ubi.com/from-dust/en-gb/home/index.aspx
ReplyDeleteGive Battlefield a try. Other than being an FPS Call of Duty has nothing in common.
ReplyDeleteHurray, hopefully you can find a good game that will hone your political whining to a sharp razor, that will shred the whatever has pissed you off into a failheap.
ReplyDeleteI went through my finances and figured out that the fiscal cliff shouldn't keep me from attending Fanfest next year so I can concentrate on games again. But if I'm wrong I'm heading to Wisconsin to pick up some cheese.
