So I'm about a third into Jak 3 (After only two and a half hours... this game is going to be way shorter than the second, that took me around 14 hours to finish... the way this is going it'll end up at 7-8 hours...) and so far, it's still a mixed bag, there's a few nitpicks, such as Jak looking retarded with his hair style (It's TOO short, it bugs me and makes his head look too small from behind, lol), and the shotgun feels... slower, I can't spam it as quick which isn't too great, however, there's things I really do like, such as the weapon mods, I love the blaster with its bouncing bullets, it's great for saving ammo, since one bullet can kill like 3 enemies at once. I also like how you have lots more health, when I first started Jak II I thought it was great because I saw 8 health sections, turns out you could only get hit 4 times anyway, or more on rare occasions that you come across small enemies that do little, whereas on Jak 3 I can get hit like 6-7 times so far, and I see there's room to add more health, probably comes with more armour...

The driving feels better since it's actually road vehicles, although it's still not great, and it's hard to drive around anywhere anyway because those desert people chase you all over and ram into you and shoot you, which is SO annoying! Also, talking about vehicles, those birds are just brilliant!

The "city" is tons smaller, but it isn't as complex, which is a good thing, but at the same time, I want it to be... bigger, not AS big, but bigger. The desert however, that place is fucking huge, too bad there isn't much to see though. There's also a little more colour than in Jak II, but it's still pretty dull.

Now, in terms of platforming, there's definitely more platforming than Jak II that's for sure, which is a good thing, I like platforming! But so far most missions have been vehicle based, which I'm sort of getting tired of already...

Also, yay got my Hoverboard again! But I doubt there's much to grind on, and not enough room to just randomly hover around doing tricks again... unless I go in the desert, but get rammed by like FOUR buggies within 10 seconds!

So far, the beginning of this game is definitely better than the start of the second, but it still doesn't feel anything like the first, which I'm a little upset about, guess I better get used to it...

Played Jak 3 for another 3 hours today, although only 1 hour was actually doing the story, I decided I haven't had a platinum trophy for a while, so I spent 2 hours doing the precursor orb glitch, and now all I have to do is complete the game and I'll get a platinum trophy! :D I can also do the glitch, but a slightly different way, on Jak 2, it'll take me around an hour, and that'll be a SECOND platinum! As for the first game... /effort collecting everything legit.

I won't be able to play on it between now and Saturday at around 5pm though because I've got TONS of work between then (Like 2 hours rest between sleeping and working...) and Starhawk came today so I'll want to be playing that soon, so I'm gonna' just rush through this on Saturday/Sunday hopefully, and then I'll have Monday/Tuesday to play Starhawk... but Diablo III will be here on one of those days... great.

I was joking my friend. Plats prove nothing as they vary so much in difficulty and time needed to aquire them that they don't mean anything

doesn't it not work until the time/hour blizzard opens the servers or something like that?
or am I totally imprinting from something different?
 
Yeah I don't think so. There's def a single-player campaign [that you can invite 3 friends to] and you can play via LAN, and idk if that is technically "online" but you DO have to login via your Battle.NET account first just to get to the game, just like with StarCraft II.

it's basically their less intrusive (than DRM) form of combating piracy.

Then otherwise you can play it online with people over non-LAN internet too

So I decided to go into work later today, doing 3-7 instead of 12-4, so I could play Starhawk for a few hours, and oh my god...

This game guys... this game... it has THE BEST MP I've EVER played in a shooter, seriously, it's just epic as fuck! I thought it'd be weird combining a shooter and RTS together, but it works so perfectly, you just hold triangle, move your left analogue stick over what you want to make, and let go... and that's it! It drops down in front of you within a few seconds and you see it get built really quick! And with building walls to defend your base (Only from ground attacks but meh), you can upgrade it to a gate that only opens for your team, you can upgrade other peoples for them too, and if you drop, say for example, a garage that spawns a jeep, but someone takes the jeep, no biggie, there's a control panel, you just press triangle at it, select spawn jeep (Takes less than a second) and boom another one is there! Jeeps for everyone!

I'm gonna' put Jak 3 on hold while I play the fuck out of this MP, I don't even care about the singleplayer, Starhawk is primarily a MP game (Just how Warhawk was a MP only game)

The only thing I'm not liking about it, is the controls are weird, R2 to sprint and L2 to throw grenades, I'd have preferred it the other way around, since I accidentally throw a grenade when I want to sprint and vice versa, and there's no option to switch it, but I'll get used to it eventually.

It's just so epic though, like, when you spawn you drop from the sky in a pod, and can control where it lands, so like 3 times I've managed to land on enemy players, which gives you more exp, and it's really funny to do... I want to try and land on a jeep though, it's really hard because they move quicker lol.

If you have a PS3 and you don't own this game, you're automatically gay, and not in a homosexual way because I don't mind that, in a "Oh my god, you don't have Starhawk? GAAAAAY! (http://www.hahgay.com)" kind of way...

after bills, paying some debt off a few hookers and crack i had enough to buy starhawk :D and its pretty fun so far. beating the single player first before i go online... but thats how i roll

Yay you got it! I've not started the singleplayer yet, since y'know, it's a multiplayer centric game anyway, and the multiplayer is so fucking fun!

The only problem I have with it, aside from what I said about the controls, is that sometimes you'll join a match, and it's basically a full round of base raping, they'll be all over you in hawks and stuff just smashing everything you build and stomping you and everything, which is gay as fuck to be honest with you, but most matches are played fairly anyways...
