just discovering that many psn games have no offline score tables, damn, is there no end to dissapointments owning a ps3.
got super stardust hd and devastated that offline it is rendered utterly useless cos no score table or even a hi score bar exists for the solo offline player.
why the hell not, whats the big deal about giving offline players value for money.

its a 10 f**king dollar game, its just a simple shooting game, maybe make more then one account on your ps3, may then it will show up, bc if there was a scoreboard it would be just your username, so it would be pointless, and im calling u 360 fanboy
"damn, is there no end to dissapointments owning a ps3."
i see that as a sign of a 360 fanboy, just trying to say ps3 is bad.

Way to jump to conclusions, sky. Not to mention being wholly unhelpful. MvC2 has an offline score tracker for the single-player arcade mode. There's nothing hard about including that into the game.
That said, tanny, if offline score trackers are all that important to you, you can easily create one yourself using pen and paper. Old-school it.
This is about as bad as the "my music playlists didn't transfer over! woe is me! I'm funna suez $ony!" guy.

Yes, he is, but it still doesn't mean you should just go off on him.

well, sorry to tell you, but having a score table IS important to many people, and developers who can not be bothered to offer users this do not deserve mine or others support, screw em.
im sick to death of games that do not include score tables or time trial modes, this is what pulls me back to games that do have em.

Did you contact the game publisher about it? Asking (nicely) for a simple scorekeeper patch couldn't possibly hurt. It'd sure be more helpful than pretending to some random third party (ie aD) that it's a life or death situation.
EDIT:
In case you're wondering, Super Stardust HD is made by Housemarque. Here's their website: http://www.infogrames.net/
I'm guessing they're a part of Atari, as you get re-directed to the Atari site.
EDIT:
Disregard that. Gamespot's got the wrong link.
Here you go. Took all of two minutes.

I think you need to calm down, he made a simple comment, no need for you to get so irrate.

thanx for that.
actually i did email the developers 5 days ago but as yet no reply (the games industry really is a law unto themselves and its attitude is---
'you get what we deem you should get and even though you pay good money for our games you have no right to expect satisfaction, if you find fault with our stuff, then tough, we are not interested in your personal enjoyment of our products once we have decieved you into buying them'.
can anyone recomend good psn ps3 shooters with offline score tables, like soldner x (has offline top ten score table), cos i sure aint playing bloody super stardust hd, really, whats the point, its even advertised as a score based game, so why no option to record offline personal scores at all ? (even the online scores only record the players single best score, and some of us dont wanna/can not be online whilst playing games)
zen pinball is another half finished piece of junk with no offline scores, and a few others i downloaded are the same aaarrrggghhh

Oh, boo hoo hoo. You're just crying because you didn't get what you thought you'd get. You made a bad purchase. Get over it, and get over yourself.

Ignoring the childish groaning and moaning, I don't know of any Stardust-esque shooters on the PSN - whether they have offline scorekeepers or not. If you're looking for vertical shooters, there's 1942: Joint Strike, or Mobile Light Force (a PS1 classic). I'm not sure which PSN store each one is on, though, so that's about as helpful as I can be.
You may as well not buy them, though. Seeing as how these games seem intent on ruining your life by not including something as insignificant as an offline scoretracker, you shouldn't even be considering giving them any more of your business.

No need to get nasty, KajNrig was the only one who helped you here, no need to call him names, to be honest, your distaste for games that dont have an offline leaderboard, is well kinda crazy.
Saying that certain games like Super Stardust HD, keep track of your personal leaderboard as well as the worldwide leaderboard, the need for offline leaderboards is defunct, it is almost 2010, you should learn to adapt.

S'okay, marcusita. Kid feels like venting, let him vent. If nothing else, it makes for great lulz.

Like I said, if you feel that strongly about it, then throw up a big enough fuss so that the developers change it. That's how people got on- and off-line multiplayer to work; by throwing enough of a fuss to make it happen.
Coming on here and crying about it to us is only going to result in us having a chuckle at your overreaction to a very rather minor situation.
You treat it as if you're a Hmong person in the jungles of Laos who fought for the US against the North Vietnamese in the Vietnam War and who was betrayed by that same US Government when it decided to pull out of Vietnam and Laos, leaving you alone to fend for yourself against two countries who want nothing more than to eradicate you solely because you're a Hmong person, when it had made promises to keep you safe if ever it decided to pull its troops out of the war (which, in a way, it did make good on, since once you made it through the danger-ridden jungles of Laos, crossed the mile-wide and soldier-lined Mekong River, and lived in an unsanitary and horribly depressing refugee camp for a matter of months or years or decades, it would be willing to transport you to the good ol' You Ess of 'Ey).
Because, you know, your virtual scorekeeper matters so much.

utter hogwash, i have only reacted in kind to derogatory comments to my desire for offline score tables.
if i regard offline scores as important to me, then thats my right as a paying user of psn, and if other posters belittle my rights with childish comments then more fool them for letting sony trample over its users.
any usefull comments i thank posters for, i thanked the poster who recommended joint strike, which by the way, also has NO offline score table, aaarrrggghhh, i wanna ram my ps3 up sonys a...hole.
if users complained more instead of sitting back and taking it up the ..., then one day sony might do the decent thing and repair the MANY THOUSANDS of failed just out of warranty bluray drives for less than the big bucks they ask for now.mafia sony.

Ok, I think this proves that you do not have a PS3...PS3 users do not pay for the PSN; it is free. Only Microsoft charges for online play. Sony is considering making PSN Platiunum, but even then they will keep the current PSN free.
On top of that, SuperStarDust HD is one of the most terrible games on the PSN, and if you had ever played it, you would not be complaining about the score boards...because you would not be playing it long enough to get a high score anyway. Instead, you would be complaining that you could not get your money back.
As for the scores, this is the developer who left this feature out. The xbox360 version does not have offline scores either...because it does not even exist. This is just like the guy that was complaining because one game was writen to prevent save backups...it's not Sony's fault, and there probably was some logic behind it from the developers point of view.
Last, you clearly didn't read the stickies for this forum, one of them is titled "Zero tolerance for fanboy flame starters!"...but the mods have not done anything yet, so I guess it isn't realy zero tolerance.

You did not receive any derogatory comments, you are the only one who left a derogatory comment :)
You dont explain your "need" for offline score, you dont seem to understand, that games store your single player exploits online, there is no need for offline scores anymore, it is a defunct function that is not needed, so why should Sony have offline scores, when its not needed anymore.
My opinion is that your just moaning for the sake off it, because you have nothing better to do in your old age.

We have no need to complain, because we dont care, the solution to your problem is a simple one, sell your PS3 and buy a Snes :D

1. i do own a ps3, but more fool me for lining sonys robbing pockets.my bluray drive failed after 18months (like many others) and im stuck with download games ony now, i will not pay robbing sony 100 pounds to fix a fault they either caused with crappy firmware updates or a known bluray drive weakness in many many ps3s worldwide.
2. buying games from the playstation store costs money, only demos are free.
3. stardust hd is actually a good game and i scored 6million on my first go on normal diff, 140,000 position in global table (an 'old man' would not do this), but i wont play it again cos im disgusted it has no offline score table, i cannot be online at all times, full stop.i want a full personal score table, i paid for this game and its lacking big time.

It sounds like your complaint is that you cannot get the high score against others, so you want to get the high score against yourself...that is just sad.
Once again, Sony did not write the game, and they did not make the decision to put the scores online. I don't see how you can blame them for this...you might as well blame the government for it.

I have an old atari you might want, oh wait...most of the high scores reset when you turn it off...how about a Sega CD or a PS2? Sure, most of the games don't have score tables, but at least they don't have the online score tables that anger you so much.

This is now the best thread on this site. Period.
I've got something I've always wanted to get off my chest, too:
All of the download games require that you manually install them. How lame is that!? How awful of Sony, in a world in which downloading and installing programs is so common that some people have eschewed asking the computer owner's permission altogether, to not automatically install a simple demo or game!? They must be held accountable!
I will not stop, I will not falter, I will not PAUSE until I have rectified this horrible injustice!
And another thing: Why do they bother putting the XMB on it!? I mean, the Xbox 360's dashboard is SO much better, and the Wii's channels make things SO much simpler. Why won't Sony just get it through their heads that their unique XMB JUST DOES NOT FIT!?!?!?!?!?!1111!?!111??//?//?/?
It's ridiculous. I go play my Wii for five minutes, and the experience is seamless. I then go to my Xbox 360, and rummaging through the Control Panel and Parental Settings is so easy! And then I come to the PS3. Ugh! After getting my mind used to those two already, why should I have to adjust to something new!?
Sony deserves to rot in hell for what they did, and I demand that Sony refunds me the $400 I spent on the PS3 AND let me continue to use it AND charge me absolutely nothing to buy PSN content. This is downright abhorrent.
