Yeah I've heard the singleplayer is basically one big tutorial to get you ready for the multiplayer, lol. Also, there's co-op too in multiplayer, but I'm not sure if it's like, co-op for the singleplayer or if it's brand new levels sort of how Resistance 2 had a seperate co-op which was amazing... I'll have to check it out sometime.

In other gaming related news, I've just hit my platinum trophy for Jak II, and all I need to do to get the platinum on Jak 3 is finish the game, since I've got the collectible trophies already, well, except the metal head gems, but I assume I'll get those during the course of the game, and if not I'll go back to Haven City because there's TONS of them there, so I'll rack 250 up pretty easily!

Just finished Jak 3 and got the platinum on it.

The game was SO much better than the second, the story was really good, but the "twist" wasn't quite as great as in the second, but it was still really good, the only thing I disliked was that some of the missions were still extremely hard and got me pretty angry (Which is VERY RARE!) because the AI was just terrible and cheap and things happened that shouldn't have!

Example: Having to roll under an electric beam, I rolled under it, walked away, and a second later, when I was in the next room, Jak starts spazzing out as if he'd been shocked... and his health would go down, and I'm like what the fuck how is that even possible... Then there's another time, I was jumping between platforms, and I was backtracking so I KNEW I could go that way, and between two of them, an invisible wall appears... not fun whatsoever! And as for the annoying as fuck AI, on the mission where you go out into the desert to collect artifacts for the second time, it gives you like 20-30 seconds to get to each one, but it doesn't tell you that there's like 10-15 other cars all crashing into you and shooting you and knocking you off course... so god damn fustrating indeed!

Also, the last boss was a little TOO easy, because after each round you could refill on light eco and heal yourself to full... although the section before the boss (Where you're chasing it in the desert and it's like REALLY big) was pretty cool...

Story wise, Jak II + 3 are tons better than Jak and Daxter, but in terms of actual fun, the first game is miles ahead in my opinion...

So I was finally about to start Disgaea 4 after having it forever without it being opened, and it's like "Hey you can't play the game yet, you have to do this patch!" so I'm like okay sure it can't be too big, right?

... 2.8GB

... I have 2mb internet

... I download at around 250kb/s

... This is going to take FOREVER!

So I've left it downloading while I flick over to my PC, and I was like yeah I'll finally play Diablo III.

5 minutes into the game, BOOM! Disconnect... I was like oh it's just to do with their servers maybe, since it's close to release like...

Nope. It was my internet... Disgaea 4 was 20% done after like an hour, but it stopped because of the internet dying, when I started it up again... it starts at 0%

fml.

And now Diablo III is being gay and giving me some error (It was like Error 3... something, I just saw a 3), apparently a lot of other people are having it too...

It's sort of like the Demon's Souls/Dark Souls online apparently, people can invade you and vice versa, besides, you can make your own levels too, I want to try peoples levels out... if you can even do that, lol. I know there's SOMETHING about making your own level, I hope you can share 'em, I want to see 3D block penises filled with enemies!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, normal is easy as fuck!
I don't want to play through the entire game before I can make it harder for myself.

It's still fun as hell though.
 
yeah the game is supposed to get harder when you have more people but i feel like it is always just so very easy

im a barbarian with a frenzy-oriented spec right now and i fucking destroy everything before i can even get my frenzy fully going D:
not even counting the shaman and wizard i party with ... even bosses go down before they can finish a sentence of gloating about how they're going to destroy us

"mu ha ha im an evil bad guy and i will wipe the floor wi--" *dead*

Yeah the difficulty doesn't really increase much with more players.
I was hoping for that increased difficulty over time, it was supposed to become at least challenging once you got to act 2 according to what I've read.
I'm in act 3 now and I will admit that the enemies are beginning to hit a bit harder, but my friend and I still usually tear right through them.
