If your copy of Heavy Rain freezing all the time? Never fear, Quantic Dream has a patch waiting in the wings so everybody can bask in how brilliant David Cage is. It would be a crime against humanity to deny people the right -- nay, the need -- to see what Quantic Dream has done for the industry. So patch away, my friends. Patch, patch away!
According to a SCEA forum mod, the fix is in its final test phase and should be released "very soon." The patch won't just be a fix for the freezing glitch, with a smattering of smaller issues being addressed as well. According to the spokesman, the issues were limited to a few players and hard to reproduce, which is why the patch was a bugger to make, but hopefully everyone can play it now.
Hooray!

[Apparently some people got upset by the jokes in the header image. Considering the jokes were no worse than anything you can get on American network television, or indeed, any average videogame blog, I don't quite understand why people suddenly felt the need to get upset. If you were genuinely upset by that, we're sorry. We're here to inform and amuse, not offend. It's very difficult to know the difference when boundaries are so flimsy and people pick and choose what is offensive, though. Anyway, sorry.]

On that note, hope this works for everyone.
It's an impressive technical feat that just so happens to take a dive into the uncanny valley.
I MADE THE OMLETT IN TIME MOTHERFUCKER!
This.
No biggie, though, was still a fantastic experience.
Looking forward to going back to this one.
This article made me smile Jim. Mission accomplished.
Seriously, step too far.
You have zero credibility - so please, continue onward!
Are you calling Jim Jesus, or are you saying Jesus is a retard. Either way, I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. but then I don't agree with any of your bullshit.
Know how I know you're retarded (possibly with down's syndrome)?
It's funny because it's blatant that this is the sort of reaction he's trying to get, but now he's complaining about it. Pro-tip Jim: Stop shitting on things becayse they're popular and then whining when people hate you.
This is in reference to your last tweet. It's comments like that that make me hate you. You make jokes and flamebait posts (not saying that is is one of them mind you), but then complain when ppl react negatively to your sense of humor. Grow the fuck up. It's the internet after all and not everyone shares your opinion/ sense of humor. I for one thought the down syndrome joke was funny, but getting all butthurt about ppl giving you a hard time on the internet is just as 'childish', 'pathetic', and 'whiny' as you claim those other ppl to be. Perhaps the 'King of Trolls' can't take his own medicine. Again, grow the fuck up and welcome to the internet.
I never even implied that. I said he should quit being a dick if he can't take the inevitable backlash. His twitter at the moment should just read "A-Bloo Bloo, no one likes me because I act like an asshole."
the barman says ''why the mong face?''
Do us all a favor and maybe try contributing more than just pointing out shit that makes you rage with two sentence posts. Ever thought about starting a c-blog? Maybe getting an avatar? If you're gonna be sticking around shitting all over the front page, might as well take off your coat and stay a while as they say.
Jimbo, if you hate the assholes and you hate the reactions, change your approach.
Not that I care mind you, but we only have control over our own actions and if that's something that is genuinely getting on your nerves change it up and see if you get different reaction, yeah?
Your sense of humor is appreciated but you have to know it's going to be controversial. You're a shock value comedian, some people love it, some people hate it.
Anyway, keep on keepin' on, man. Sorry you get nasty emails, never an excuse for that.
Take care, bud.

There we have it folks. A girl with Down's Syndrome thought it was hilarious. Move along.
As for Sterling being upset, I'm confused. Why would someone be unhappy at being flamed when they constantly post what can only be described flame-bait? Personally, I just think his ham-handed approach has gotten old. He's like the Andrew Dice Clay of Destructoid, who also got angry when everyone realized that constant insults lose their humor quickly.
srsly tho it is basically 50/50 per people who had problems with the game. i have a 40 gig fat and so does a friend of mine, i had problems he didnt. mine crashed during the inital download (before the game download) i had it freeze on me at least 5 times. several times i thought it froze during the loading screens but it just took forever. i also had numerous amounts of times where the audio just vanished. game is broken that alone took me out of the game completely.
