Hey, it happens. I bought a PS3 for MGS4 and then discovered Uncharted; one of my favorite game series now. Maybe you'll find other things on the console you like!

She DOES look alarmingly like Ellen Page...not sure about how the game itself is going to turn out yet, but it sure is pretty.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-14 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It's actually her. She's playing the character and everything.

Yea, I know, I just meant they did a superb job of making the character look like her. The detail in her avatar and the resemblance is incredibly impressive.

...Am I the only one who really dislikes this new trend of getting actors to "play" characters in video games?

[personal profile] pynapel 2012-06-15 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I am SO over Ellen Page it's not even funny. Everyone else seems so charmed by her, but I just don't see it. Whenever she's onscreen I get annoyed. I can't explain it.

I like the idea of live-action capturing to make the movements realistic (like Uncharted) but yeah, I'm getting sick of actors taking over everything. Just like there's few professional magazine models anymore, the voice acting industry is getting flooded with actual actors. Which sucks for me, since my dream is to become a voice actor.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-15 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they're all actors in the end. Some voice actors have done live acting too, like Tara Strong. I think it's awesome.

[personal profile] pynapel 2012-06-16 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Only not. I can't go with the idealistic "WELL WE'RE ALL THE SAME" when my dream job is being overtaken by people like Christian Bale.

There's so many talented voice actors out there who will never get a chance to shine because all of these actors are taking their spots because they're ~famous~ and might get more sells, even if they suck at it.

Same here

well, whatever floats your boat. seems like a stupid reason to spend that much money to me.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-14 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
There's more than one way to use a PS3 y'know. Blu-ray and all that.

Me too!!! I've been thinking of getting either a 360 or a PS3 for a while (I've been doing a lot of PC gaming lately), but video game Ellen Page sealed the deal for me. :)

This secret isn't showing for me (actually, a lot of secrets aren't showing for me, both from imgur and tinypic O_o), but from the sound of the comments it seems that the gist of it is that you bought a PS3 just for one game and sort of regret spending so much money just for that?

I've heard good things about the game Journey, and Skullgirls look superfun, and there's the PlayStation Network for good oldies, and you could use it as a Blu-ray player if you don't have one already (you can hunt the bargain bins, lol), and there are probably tons and tons of good games for it that I know nothing about that you could find later on!

[personal profile] elaminator 2012-06-15 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
The game isn't out yet and they plan on buying a PS3 to play it. :) You're right though, if the OP doesn't have a Blu-ray player it's great for that, and there are plenty of older PS3 games you can find for cheap now.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, thanks!

Frankly, the only thing keeping me from buying a PS3 right now, or years ago, is the economic factor.

Out of all the newer generations, it sounds like the console I'd get the most use out of it, considering the kinds of things I like.

OP:

If you look at it like an investment, it's not a bad move. Just look around for other things you'd like to use it for, tips to avoid bricking the console (I hear it can happen with some upgrades?), safety tips if you get an online account, etc.

If there is interest-free monthly payments offer coming up in a store you can shop in, go for that!

Yes, I almost had to reformat my hdd in my PS3 from the update being corrupt. I don't remember what I did to fix it, but it involved swapping it out with a spare hdd I happened to have lying around. It was a nightmare. My advice is to always update by downloading the file manually to a usb stick. After that I never update through the wifi.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-15 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you so much for the tip!

(Anonymous) 2012-06-15 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And, ouch, sorry to hear that happened! At least you managed to fix it in the end.

On the one hand, I'm excited because I love Ellen Page and I loved Heavy Rain. On the the other hand, David Cage doesn't have the best track record with how he treats female characters. On the other other hand, I'm hopeful that Ellen Page wouldn't be involved in something skeevy. So ultimately, I am hopeful.
