4 reasons why I just bought a new PS2.

I have given the game away. It is that terrible. Courses at night. Narrow ledged races where you fall off with the slightest wrong slide. Stupid “earn credits” or buy them for real money. Rewind. “Complete the course before you die”. A level called “Zombies and Jetpacks”? No skill getting on rails. Having to deliberately decide to not land properly because it’s been dumbed down so much that crashing is actually hard. The music is pretty crap too. So long waiting and it turns out to be the worst destruction of any other game sequel I have ever played. It really is no fun at all – I would have more enjoyment pushing pins under my nails. Totally ruined what was a fantastic run of games. Worst game I have bought in years.

IAMA Level Designer on SSX. AMA! : SSX.

Yes, I played a ton of SSX, but sadly missed out on Tricky, 3 and such since I was a huge PC gamer.

That explains so much.

It’s like someone saying “Yeah, I played a ton of Wolfenstein before I designed Wasteland in MW 2″

It’s so dark that even 100% brightness on the TV doesn’t help. I hope I grow to like it but right now it’s very VERY irritating. The real SSX died with SSX 3. Pity.

Edit: The Deadly Descents will test your ability to not throw the controller. Whoever thought they would be fun wants their fucking head breaking.

Edit 2: I’ll be playing Skyrim later. Waited along with everyone else for years and yet SSX is that cheap (rewinds / darkness / obstacleobstacleobstacleobstacleobstacleobstacleobstacleobstacle) I think right now that I just wasted £40.

Fantastic game. http://www.playauditorium.com/ and it’s available on pretty much everything inc Steam.

markX2, did you know that PlayStation®Vita is available for pre-order?

Says the email from Sony. Absolutely I did. In fact I had pre-ordered from Amazon when it was first announced. But then I saw your way of handling games I have for the PSP. I also saw that it is pretty much locked to one PSN account. And I saw it’s poor reception in Japan and if it bombs there it cannot be that good. Then I look at the launch games and the signed up publishers. Your spying is a Bad Thing. The price comes into it too. But so does the huge £1.3 billion loss you posted.
I did want a first run model because if there is one that will get cracked it’s more than likely that one. But be an early adopter for that? Be an early adopter when you will drop that price significantly because the market and your business will need to as will companies that bought pre-release stock and will look at the dust on the boxes?
No. I can wait and to be honest until the account stuff is sorted and I can stop it phoning home I’ll never buy one. And this is from a PSOne owner who bought on release day, who has bought 4 PS3′s. I even own a Minidisc player. I should be lapping up your brand but no more.
