Pain (PS3 - PSN)

[Dazzyman]

Its fun but it gets repeative very quickly

1st one did get repetitive quickly but there was some skil in triggering events and aiming where you wanted to go.

watching the vids of the amusement park all looks a bit random to me. almost like the original has been dumber down (which I never thought I'd say)

[merf]

so the amusement park is up, £3.49 for a 50mb download, which come down at the usual snail like pace of PSN - but cool, got it and selected the game and I'm away.

er no, the game now needs another title update, so I expected a few mb's right, er no again, 325mb !!!

I've never seen a more stupid piece of software for managing updates, its not like this thing is Spore or anything.

mental.

Pain is friggin ridiculous with it's updates and DLC.

To be honest, the game is the most disgusting example I've seen of a game using microtransations at every given opportunity.

It's a fun game though

i don't mind the 69p for the characters or the cost of the dlc, its the retarded way its handled and the huge size of the update files.

a while ago they put some update out that seemed to load in about 6 parts so everytime you thought you were done it started loaded the next bit.

pretty typical of American software from what I know, they couldn't write a bit of slick compact code to save their lives.

It was the fact that you had a menu full of characters on the selection screen, all but one you could use without paying :/

Also, it's irritating that you can't download things from within the game and have it work, you have to go to the PSN and register it first.
