I may have gotten a bit tired of Lost, however, the creation of the island within Just Cause 2....especially considering it is just a small blip on the map, is truly impressive!

-Alpha5152d ago

Yesterday's episode was the best of the season, and it's as great as episodes like "The Constant".

This is by far the coolest Easter Egg I have ever seen.

SullyDrake5152d ago

I cannot believe how incredible of an epic win this is. I hope these guys do a second Lost game!

ProjectVulcan5152d ago

There is soooooooo much hidden in this game its really fantastic, the map is massive and by that i mean it makes san andreas look small. So much to see and do

-Alpha5152d ago

Is it a giant sandbox of randomness? I know there's a story but is it like GTA with more fun?

Rockox5152d ago

DON'T GO INTO THE OPEN ZONE. Potential spoiler for Alan Wake. Spoiler is in user's name.

TheGrimReaper5152d ago

Damn...
I don't even own a 360 and it pisses me off!
Guys do you remember the Heavy Rain spoilers? You didn't like it, did you? So why do you spoil this game? Fanboys are retarded...

MrMacabre5152d ago

I wanna grapple that fat guy to a helicopter just to see if i can lift him!

iceman065152d ago

More like a sandbox of awesomeness! Seriously, if you ever liked the mercenaries series of games. Or if you just like to get into GTA and explore and wreak havoc...then this should be your new game. It is mostly about creatively destroying just about everything that you see...and watching the carnage unfold. I have sunk 4 hours into the game and really haven't taken any missions. I just like playing with the grapple combinations and the parachuting. At this point, I seriously could care less about the story...I just want to blow more stuff up.

vickers5005152d ago

It would be cool if you go to far off the map, the smoke monster comes and takes you away.

@ Mitchel

Yup, already interested here too, also conviced by this little plus extra.

Too bad it gonna have to wait, I'm low on money now and just got Heavy Rain and God Of War 3 on the brazillian launch last week (I believe GOW3 launch like 2 or 3 days later here) and backlog is just getting bigger, still want MAG and Yakuza 3, also curiuous about FFXIII, WKC and Bayonetta (can't see me renting RPGs through and Bayonetta is nowhere to be found around here - as with most games after some time, stores don't restock since the market is small).

January and February are important tax months here (house, car, motorcycle, insurance) and just got a medical emergency in the family...

I guess I'll be getting Y3, MAG and JC2 by late April or May.

PooEgg5152d ago

Well it might have been cool if it remained a secret, but now that it is spoiled it lost it's charm, thanks ps3attitude.com, I'll make sure to avoid you in the future to avoid having anything else spoiled for me.

Rockox5152d ago

It was cool walking around the island in Lost: Via Domus, but unfotunately that was about the only thing cool about that game. This looks WAY more fun.

Oh, and Alpha-Male, you're right. The Richard episode was fantastic. I'll be a bit sad when the show is all over, as I'll never be able to watch the series again with the same sense of mystery and wonder.

"Eidos Interactive have replicated the whole LOST Island for you to explore."

I think they mean Avalanche Studios. Eidos only publishes it in NA.

peeps5152d ago

i thought it was developed by avalanche and eidos and published by SE?

TheGrimReaper5152d ago

"Published by Square Enix, Inc. Developed by Avalanche Studios."

WTF has Eidos to do with it? They are mentioned on the site but I am confused why they are. Could anyone do some research (I am at work)?

rexus123455152d ago

Eidos is owned by Square, they are basically the NA/EU publisher branch of Square Enix

Eiffel5152d ago

It is, Both Eidos and Avalanche Studios developed Just Cause 2.

Theonik5152d ago

Eidos was bought by SE a few months ago and SE is using them to publish their games on Europe and the US. Just Cause 2 was getting published by Eidos anyway before the acquisition.

despair5152d ago

just for doing when they had no reason to is amazing in its self. Guess we know what their favorite show is :)

Ares84PS35152d ago

....just out of fun or because they are inspired by something. It's obvious that the dev. team loves lost that is why they put it in there. If I was working on a game for example it would be a game set in Ancient Rome that's for sure. Also you would be able to see characters like Pullo and Vorenus. Guess what is my favorite show :D

Harry1905152d ago

Cause I'm the Black Smoke Monster. Grrrrr.

user8586215152d ago

you are evil!! and you shall neva leave teh island!! :@

jannytime5152d ago

i think lost is gay but this is just pure awesome. good sh!t eidos

Neo Nugget5152d ago

Lost is pretty epic. I may have to add this to my gamefly Que :)

The Worst Guns in Video Games

These are the worst guns in video games. Unlike weapons that are useful and practical, these only take up space in your inventory.

Worst Games to 100% Complete

Being a completionist can be fun, but some games are more like chores than fun. Here are the worst games to 100% complete.

The Yakuza Games

Haha, yeah, currently over 100 hours into Yakuza 0. Considering going for 100% and well on the way but may not get there. Cat Fights are a real chore.

blackblades487d ago

I use to be a trophy hunter, was getting around 20 to 30 platinums a year. Had a saying of Play-Beat-Platinum, play and enjoy the game like there wasn't no trophies, beat it and at least get 50% then look at them and see if I'll platinum and platinum it. I think death star was a pain, the servers was ending so i had to rush and play that for awhile none stop. NGs2 was hard because of that online trophy but easy if you had the partner that can do it for you while you grab the enemy attention. Grinding idk, death was grinding last one I had to grind for platinum literally 1 trophy needed was dungeon travler or something vita gave up on it. After that I stop trophy hunting get like a 1 platinum a year or 0.

Knushwood Butt487d ago

Yeah, if I enjoy a game I usually go for the platinum unless there are some unreasonable trophies in there.

For Yakuza 0 I've invested too much time in it to give up just yet and most of the content is good fun, apart from Cat Fighting which is broken and dull after a couple of fights.

DarXyde486d ago

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was literally the last platinum I got on PS3. After that, I went into PS4 kinda deflated and getting them where it felt appropriate.

I genuinely HATED that platinum, but it was a personal challenge I took upon myself. It was a lot of "get 1,000 kills with [insert weapon]" and it got to be a bit tedious. Master Ninja really pissed me off, but the WORST which you alluded to was that bloody Gold trophy for missions that you needed to do online because the AI was useless and got wrecked in moments. I jumped on the game a bit late so I struggled with finding a partner for at least 1.5 months. After that, I burned out hard with trophy hunting. I still came back for games I really enjoyed (Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Nier: Automata, and a few others that escape me) and low hanging fruit that was just a bit time consuming and I didn't want to buy new games at the time (Final Fantasy XV). Total, it becomes clear where I taper off since I've only plat'ed 33 games since there inception of trophies which really isn't much.

Screw Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 lol. That game was pure nightmare fuel.

blackblades487d ago

I say never force getting a platinum, its not worth the trouble definitely if it costing you to waste time on chore like grind. Those brainless design trophies.

hotnickles487d ago

Dead rising was the worst one I’ve ever tried. I haven’t tried it with the modern console “rest mode” but the 360 didn’t have that.

Duke19487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

Was GTa4 the on where you had to collect a shit ton of pigeons around the map and there was no help in finding them?

roadkillers486d ago

Yep. I’d say GTASA was more difficult since there were so many collectibles

Profchaos486d ago

The saving grace was that there was only on average 50 collectables with the two exceptions being graffiti and oysters from memory horseshoes and photos were capped at 50 each.

But for me it was all the other grind that was way more painful in SA like the car export lists which even with guides took way longer than collecting stuff

iivGHOST486d ago

There was a guide book that came out with the game that had all the pigeons in it. I actually still have it

Chocoburger487d ago

One of the more recent games I got a Platinum in was Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. What a crap game, that requires so much terrible grinding.

Awful game, awful experience.

outsider1624486d ago

Oh man..wish i could get a vita. I've been trying to get a preowned too(in my country) but no luck.

CantThinkOfAUsername487d ago

I can vouch for Just Cause 2. It was the reason I quit achievement hunting. 86 hours in, the game bugged on me during one of the last side quests (it failed no matter what I did) and my save file got corrupted. Wiped it off my drive and never looked back.

SonyStyled486d ago

I downloaded the ‘complete edition’ or whatever it was called for $2 about 7yrs ago in hopes of trophy hunting it for a platinum. It always sounded fun and I would like to commit time to it but not enough for a platinum trophy
