@EA @Yomnad84 @hzNET @Gametainment @DYEW1TNESS @jeff148apps Really sorry for the server issues with 1943, they're working hard to fix them.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER EA GAME AGAIN (until NCAA Football 10 comes out next week).

FOR NERDS ONLY:

[nadsat droog]

Disturbingly hilarious. Well done.

[TimBuktu]

I haven't been able to get a single game of Battlefield 1943 tonight... four hours of trying..... THANKS EA GAMES.

[ArchStanton]

I dl'd the trial and gave up after 30 mins of "searching for games".
I thought maybe EA was just pushing us trial gamers to the back of the bus. I'd be EXTRA pissed if I had actually purchased the game and was still all left in the cold.
4 hours dude? What is wrong with you?

[Trial]

I cannot be dl'd. I cannot be gamed.

He spends a lot of time in Lucas Simm's house. If you're doing "The Power of the Atom" and Lucas is dead (which I assume is why you are looking for him), you can make that your active quest and a waypoint should lead right to him.

Million thanks sir.

[ArchStanton]

I tried again to play 1943 at about 2 AM. The trial was supposed to only be 30 mins but I suppose because of the server nonsense they decided to be extra lenient. I Played for 2 hours and it's hecka fun.
Question: Is the atoll the only map on the purchased version?

[Berliner]

More like the new gays thread.

[TimBuktu]

No... there are three maps. Also, I didn't try for four hours straight... I just tried off and on throughout the night and I never got into a game.

[Berliner]

Is it just me, or is this psp go thing incredibly misguided? $250?

[isoS]

I liked that Gizmodo article about the PSP Go, which pointed out that it looks like Cartman.

[aenemaTron]

That Cartman face game doesn't look that fun though

I bought that Lost: Via Domus game because it was only $10 in a bargain bin at Best Buy.

I'm expecting utter trash, which is why I'd never even thought twice about getting this game since I first heard about it, but for $10 I'm willing to give it a shot.

[Bobaganoosh]

Somewhere I thought I'd read this was coming to the DS, too, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I wish. Looks fun.

I just checked and The Bigs is still coming to DS, just not until July 17th.

It's really terrible. If you actually end up finishing it, I'll give you some sort of prize. It gets insanely irritating quickly.

Oh nice. Now I just checked, and GameFAQs says September 8. Where'd you see July 17?

[Bobaganoosh]

I saw it on 1up, but now that I'm looking closer it actually says July 17th for all systems, which is wrong, so GameFAQs might be more accurate.

[MikeDinosaur]

1up never seems to update their release dates. When they put up some E3 hands-on of Bayonetta, their site was still saying it had come out two weeks ago.

I thought this http://www.gamespite.net/verbalspew/..._1279.php#body was a fairly good article on the PSP's price. Basically the gist is that Sony has to let retailers sell it at an inflated price or they won't carry it at all, since the Go completely bypasses gamestop sales and stuff. Doesn't mean I would buy it; my 2000 does all that stuff fine and they still can't stop it from playing snes and psx roms on it.

[TimBuktu]

OK. Unless you absolutely hate FPS online shooters, you have to get 1943. I can't believe how good it looks and how well it plays for $15.

I'm an admitted superfan of the series... but wow... It's almost as good as Bad Company visually. I also love these maps. I can't fly the planes at all though.... I played with a flight stick in the original and was decent.... can't figure it out with a console controller though.
