I guess the "save game" button might be your best friend here if you don't want to be attacked at any given time?

Most of that was because of multiplayer issues. If somebody walks off and pauses, then all the other players are screwed. It's a lot like an MMO, so I'm pretty used to it at this point, but if you haven't played one before it can be annoying.

Since you're pretty much always online (unless you deliberately change it to offline, or don't have XBL) people can jump in or out, so it's always active and unpaused.

No it doesn't pause then either. Playing strictly offline and having XBL silver anyway I should be able to pause.

I also hated the AI on escort missons. It was a good idea to have them try to run away. It was a good idea to have them warp to you if they get lost somehow. It was a bad idea to have them run so far away they get warped to you in the middle of a fight. Also bad having them run straight into the monsters. Then there's the part where you have to protect more than one person and they all run off in different directions. It was good intentioned at least.

Understood-thanks.

I agree with you. They didn't have a pause option in the PC version for the longest time, and then eventually patched one in.

There are definitely some oddities in offline vs. online, and strange design decisions, but overall it's one of my favorite games on the system, warts and all.

I have a quick question. My brother bought this for the PS3 last week and he is not connected online, but he said he couldn't play SP w/ online. Is that true or was he doing something wrong? Thanks

Geo,

is having trouble playing the SP because it says he has to be online? if thats the case he needs to go into create game then highlight the online mode and switch it to offline and he should be able to play with no problem.

if not I'll check again for you.
