This PSN outage might a serious warning to those games who centered their experence for online gaming only or need online excultively to power their features. Games like Final Fight Double Impact and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 will not start at all without the PSN and some features in the games that still work will depend on how much it is attached to online (i. e. how much of your game must absolutlely need the power of online to make it work without it being disabled when the servers are off).

This is what will happen if there is an online only future and there is no way to keep what you pay for. At least get rid of the DRM crap as soon as we brought the game. The DRM BS should've been reserved for demos, not full games. I fell like the good guys, the honest people, and those who follow the rules are getting screwed real hard because of someone else's BS. We are nothing more than acceptable losses in a meaningless war.

Poeole in the Xbox 360 and Wii camps need to be real careful in what they say about this situation. Their system might be next. There is no honor among theives. They will celerbrate with their knives behind their back ready to kill as soon as their "friends and allies" turn around.

Before this decade is over with the PSN for the PS3 might shut down permantely. You all saw how Microsoft treats the orignal XBox Live service after the XBox 360 came on the scene. Don't be suprise if the same thing happens here. Companies of all types put money first before anything else and will do anything to keep that money flowing, even if it means resorting to BS tactics like the stuff we experence in the past 6 years.

Think about it, how many games you have right now will not work well offline or have very hollow gameplay offline, those games that you just can't live without online? It's sadly a decreasing list as the years go by, even worse if the PS3 is the only system the gamer have in their room right now.

In the meantime, if you still want to play games offline, look at your PS3 collection (or any other collection tf you have another system) and take some time to play the ones that you miss or didn't have time to play due to you being online almost 85% of the time. This might be a great time to catch up on your trophy hunt or finish that game that you have a lot of trouble trying to complete.

Or you can just stop and smell the roses and take this opportunity to refresh yourself, to unwind, to recharge, to go outside and look at life a little bit more. Always take all things in moderation, don't spend too much time on one thing.

That is my 2 cents on this matter. It will be back soon. Just be patient. SOmethiines there are more important things in life besides videogames.

And at least I don't have to worry about Bowel_Jacker187 bugging me for the time being so it not all that bad.

It's Sony vs. cyber-terrorists

Who will win in this pointless battle of epic egos

Stay tuned as Gamesradar gives you nonstop up to the minute covarge of this ongoing kick-ass cyberwar!!!

OK, kidding aside, let's be serious for a moment:

I think this whole hacking mess is an inside job and have nothing to do with the Other OS option being stripped away. Just think about it for a miniute. Why was there no suscessful attack on the PS3 until last year? I know the hackers are smart and are capable of hacking anything in less than a year after a product has been released. It should've been hacked way long before before now. So what happened?

Somebody who work at the Sony tech dept who know the code got pissed off by Sony for not paying them enough money and got fired and snuck the code out and scerectly give it to people like George Hotz, a great scapegoat that got everbody's attention as soon as he release it, the former Sony tech guy slowly fade away in the dark giving away secrects to those who want to see Sony go down in flames.

All I can say is that there is a law and ignorance of the law is no excuse. There is no honor among thevies. They will band together to kill a common foe and be back at each other's throats when it done.

Everything is corrupted. There are no good or bad guys, just gray.

So the hate continues:

@Howetzer: I was referring to the response that another guy was calling me earlier (a liberal tool) so I call him a GOP Tool (Read the comments earlier for more reference) in response. Let's not turn this into a politicial matter shall we? The last thing we need is realpolitik in a game site. Stick with hating games kid.

@Stabby_Joe: These GR idoits just reharsh the same crap over and over again. These guys nothing more than cheap @$$ Daily Radar imitators. They blow hot air just to get some hits and making an @$$ out of themselves as usual. I am the least of your worries. I am just a user commentating on an feature and this will soon get out of hand before the week is over with.

@WhiskeyBit, GOP Tool:

This is Hate Week, anything goes, even your precious little GR. These guys are too afraid to bash the games and the genres they really love and went the sissy route yet again this year. Their hate is so weak and boring.

The black guy dying first have been done so many times in so many ways, it just plain old boring and racist to the extreme. These Mickey Mouse tactics just won't cut it in today's world, you need something new, something fresh to get people talking.

Watch, Valve will throw a screwball at your asses and will kill Zoey first and make Louis the main hero because nothing pissing you off like a black hero and a dead zombified bitch. Pissed off gamers be damned.

Here we will see a few people making a complete ass out of themselves over absolutley nothing and as usual none of the companies will listen to your BS.

You people are complete hypocrites who only want attention by bashing handpicked videogames that companies work so hard for.

So here to another year of bitchcraft.

I don't mind JRPGs. I am getting tired of Western RPGs, FPS, and open world games and their doom and gloom lifestyle, their ever so depressing characters and crappy realism. Damn, those games just make you have a bad taste in your mouth when you finish and Give me happiness anyday over hate.

Hey Games Radar, do an article adout the reasons why gamers hate open world games and Western RPGS. You guys are way too baised against most of the games that are not made in America. This is called Hate Week? You idoits are suppose to hate everything.

I always wanted to play as the old decative from the old crime flims and for once I can play as a good guy, a rare thing these days.

Recaptcha: resigned smitten

Too bad we don't see this kind of stuff in commericals today. Companies have gotten lazy and sorry these days.

There's got to be some lame ass gimmick that Sega's not telling us. I have a feeling that they will screw this up big time again. It's all part of the Sonic Syndrome and we are at the first stage of an ever revolving cycle yet again. The only question left is: How the hell are thay going to screw this one up?
