Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

im down but check this guy's review out who bought it.........

Speaking as someone who bought this on the European PSN, I advise people to read the following:
This game is cheap. I mean that in both ways. Yes it’s $10. However, this only gets you the basic game. In the game you get regular Chalk, however you can buy special chalks to improve accuracy or power or both. You buy these with real money, and they have limited uses. Also, gamemodes are not included, including Snooker. These will come later as DLC.
Not mention that the AI is generally screwed. Able to pot three balls with one shot and then somehow deliberately miss the next.
If it were possible to get a refund, I would have done so. The description in the post is accurate, and it looks amazing. However the physics are just a little bit off in many little ways. Not to mention the outright deception in selling a game which is supported by micro-transactions, without disclosing so.
In my opinion, stay away. But if you do buy it, be aware that in order to get the complete experience you will need to shell out more money.

That's been stated many times in official reviews, I guess that guy wasn't expecting it. I'm still buying.

I really don't like being forced to spend money on enhancements like that. At least give me a chance to unlock them through playing the game, but also give people the opportunity to buy them who don't want to put in the time.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I was able to get a few minutes of training in. The controls seem really nice and simple, graphics are sick and yeah, thank god for custom soundtracks. I made a thread for it that way we don't turn this into a HK discussion.

You have to search through all the games, it's not in the new releases section yet, it didn't even have an icon when I downloaded it.

What a fun game!

Hopefully we'll see snooker and straight pool added to it...it's really missing these two. Can't say I'm thrilled that you have to buy the special chalk ($0.99), but it's not really needed I think.

It sort of works well as a re-reminder, like "Hey guys, our game is still out there and it kicks ***!"

Plus it ties in with the new DLC.

I'm curious to see which level they are showing off.
