(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As the "PSN outage" extends and tensions run high, there has been a high increase in threads that generally say the same thing. They all seem to point to one factor, that a lot of people only play games for the multiplayer.

Now, I'm alot older than some users ( I'm 27 ) and when I was a kid, if you wanted to play games with your friends you would have to go to their house, not just party up. So for me, playing offline is no problem.

Playing Offline

Although most of the popular games seem to be designed as a multiplayer game, they still contain a story mode and many games have multiple offline modes.

I recently bought the new Mortal Kombat, there's so much to do that I probably won't play it online until I finished all the other things I've started. I also have been playing the Crysis 2 and Black Ops campaigns, because if PSN was up I'd just be playing the multiplayer.

These can help take the hours of boredom away. Already completed it? well put it on the hardest setting and go back in.

You could probably find a guide right here on NGU!

Trophies

All games have these, use this time to go back and get ones that you forgot about or couldn't be bothered with. If your bored and your ps3 is your only source of entertainment, then trophy hunting can be a good sport.

When I first ever got a ps3, I didn't even have internet, trophy hunting was all I could do.

I know trophies may not be everyone's interest, but it does look cool to have a few platinums in your collection.

(Online trophies usually make up a small percentage of the total amount.)

Again, you can probably find help with trophies here on NGU.

Your ps3 can also;

Play stored music
Play CDs
Play Blue Rays and DVDs
Browse on the internet

So there are plenty of things that you can still do with your ps3, and even more things are available away from your ps3.

Live your life?

Enjoy the weather
Go play some sports
Go to the gym
Go to the cinema
Get a haircut
Do anything !!!


Life has so much to offer you, but you just won't take it.

Cake is a lie
Yes...

But the amount of threads that keep restating the obvious with no new evidence show maybe it is TOO important.
I have beat campaign on MW2, Black Ops, NBA 2K11 and finally defeating GTA 4 LOL.

Online is a key selling point. I mean sports games have daily/weekly content we are missing. And if PSN isn't up by Friday for Black Ops double XP, it will be another disappointment. It is amazing how we have so many threads with little to no new or happy news.

Everyone has their own opinion on this. I think while most of us sort of found a balance, it's coming to a point where we need PSN back up. And I don't really have single player games, as I do not enjoy them, but since psn was down I played them, which was fun for a week. Now I'm just itching to voice chat with my friends while raping noobs on Call of Duty. I barely chill with them because of baseball, so yeah. lol I know about two of them switched over to Xbox now, so even when PSN is back up, I wouldn't be able to just play with them like I enjoyed doing.

Point is while offline is good and can provide a lot of entertainment, but Sony also needs to hurry their ass up before more people switches over to 360, and to provide a good service to their loyal fans, like me. Happy

And oh, do not let a video game run your life is also what i want to get across lol Life has more to offer then the R1 button Smile
