Sony has always been considered the reliable hardware brand when compared with Microsoft's offering, however this misconception has allowed the Playstation 3's hardware failings to fly under the radar somewhat. Namely the yellow lights of death. With the official PS3 forum and sites such as Kotaku and gamespot having posts regarding this and the possible link with the PSN Firmware update, Gameztraffic.com experiences its own yellow light trauma.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Supposedly the older consoles are having problems. But this goes with all electronics, if millions of people have a certain electronic a number will fail. I don't think its THAT serious enough to call it a "misconception" though.
lol @ Kotaku...of course
how is this news lol have you seen the site its coming from
First off, the story is not a duplicate because the links you provide go to a fix and not this same story. Just because the person who wrote this article and also wrote that fix doesn't make them the same.
Second, it's not old. He mentions Zen Pinball that just came out this week and to me it sounds like his Heat Gun trick was a temporary fix and it has now failed again. This happens with the 360's as well, you can do a heat treatment on the GPU but it still fails again after some time.
Personally, I've never had a problem with my PS3 beyond it freezing at the Sony logo at the beginning not consistently. I've had a 360 RROD on me however but it was fixed hassle free with no cost and I didn't lose anything.
I'm surprised Sony doesn't have a way to transfer game saves if your system has problems. I do not like that one bit. Hopefully I never had any serious issues.
EDIT: Ah, the author submitted. Was I right on my assumption? Did the heat gun trick fail?
i`m yet to meet some1 who has suffered from it. I can`t say the same for the rrod where me and all my friends had experienced it. I`m sure ylod is out there, i`m not denying it, but is nowhere near the scale of the rrod.
