Blades was perfect. No i didn’t need my knockoff mii on the screen and laggy windows 8 ui. It used the full screen to display every bit of information clearly in a way xmb ass could only dream of… Oh what’s that? Did you order some loooooong menu? We all want some loooooong menu to scroll through. FUCK OFF WITH THE NESTING.
UI is reactionary we must return to cli
I see someone never used the last version of the PS3 store.
It was the same as the PS4 store which is already pretty bad, but unbelievably slow.
I didn’t start buying digital on console until the ps5 when the physical copies became glorified digital licenses but I did go on the ps3 store to buy battlefield 1943 and it was probably the worst storefront I’ve ever seen. Clicking a button has a response time of like 3-5 working days
I bought uncharted 3, along with the Last of US DLC and Gran Turismo 5 DLCs, was a huge pain in the ass to get downloaded. Took forever to load the storefront. The actual downloads were pretty fast though. But the game updates, oh god. Gran Turismo 6 had something like 25-50GB of updates in dozens of parts. The PS3 was not designed for that. Took literal days to update without any errors because it bombed out every couple of parts.
Gt5 and 6 was put the disc in and come back the next day kinda game updates. I have a vague memory of it needing user input after every part it downloaded to install it but i can’t remember for certain. I just remember hating it alot.
Yeah this was GT6. If you didn’t manually do every part one by one it would bug out all progress would be gone. GT5 was put the disc in and wait for the next day. Yeah it sucked. The games were cool, but that console generation was not designed for those kind of updates.
PS3 store was an absolute disaster. So slow. Supporting background downloads and installs almost 20 years ago came at a huge cost to speed.
Unbelievably slow doesn’t even begin to describe how slow it is. Easily one of the most frustrating experiences I ever had with an interface.
Good thing pirating PS3 games are extremely easy and RPCS3 is fairly good.
