Topic: General PS3 Thread

General place to talk about PS3 stuff.

@Zuljaras Did you play Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Yes but on the Xbox One and Lords of Shadow 2 as well. The Mirror of Fate I played on my 3DS

Many people do not like the games but I love them just as any other CV game. I prefer the RPG(metoridvania) CV games but from time to time I play the other as well.

I am also one of the few people who actually liked the happy ending of LoS2.

The whole LoS saga was very well executed. Dark, gritty and gothic as hell! Mercury Steam did a fantastic job! And they showed it once again with Metroid Samus Returns.

@Zuljaras I loved Lords of Shadow 1, great RPG mechanics and Shadow of the Colossus elements.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic
PS3 games library in my opinion was the worst compared with PS1, PS2, PS4 and PSP. Very lack of casual and kids games.
But, i have managed to get almost 20 titles (target 25 PS3 games by maximum)
And here are my PS3 games so far:
1. Ratchet & Clank : Tools of Destruction
2. Ratchet & Clank : Quest for Booty
3. Ratchet & Clank : A Crack in Time
4. Ratchet & Clank : All 4 One
5. Ratchet & Clank : Q Force
6. Ratchet & Clank : Into the Nexus
7. Ratchet & Clank Trilogy
8. Final Fantasy XIII
9. The Sims 3
10. The Sims 3 Pets
11. Hannah Montana The Movie
12. F1 Race Stars
13. Modnation Racers
14. Tornado Outbreak
15. Hakuna Matata
16. Summer Challenge Athletic Tournament
17. Sonic Generations
18. Sports Champions 2
19. Racket Sports

The other titles i will get:
20. London 2012
21. Toro to Mori Mori
22. Little League World Series Baseball 2010
23. Move Fitness
24. Cyberbike 2
25. ??? (Still searching)

As you can see, my PS3 games are only from rated Everyone until Teen / PEGI 3 - 7
I only play appropriate games for kids and teen.

@Anti-Matter That's good, keep it age-appropriate, I hope you enjoy playing games on your PS3

@JapaneseSonic - Yeah, Infamous has aged like milk. A remaster would definitely be welcome though I'd prefer another Second Son game.

@Shigurui If The Last of Us is still drinkable milk, if perhaps getting slightly whiffy, Infamous is cheese. Just proper smelly cheese.

@nessisonett - It definitely stinks mate. Been playing my PS3 quite a bit lately and I booted Infamous up out of curiosity a few weeks ago to see how it is after all these years. It wasn't pretty!

@JapaneseSonic - It's things like the janky animations that really stand out to me. The climbing in all the Infamous games is basically just bouncing up buildings, it was peculiar looking then and even moreso today. Especially when compared to something like the Assassin's Creed games.

@Shigurui @JapaneseSonic Yeah I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed 1 and it’s aged not too great either. Even just simple things like mission structure have come a long way, never mind animations when falling.

@nessisonett - Yeah all game animations are not created equally. I've been playing Ninja Gaiden 2 and Sigma 2 recently and the fighting animations in those games are incredible even today, some feat considering the age of them. I still don't think any hack/slash game has bettered that combat engine to this day either. It's a testament to how good Itagaki's Team Ninja devs were.

Can anyone recommend some fun local multiplayer games for novice gamers? My sister and her fiance have a PS3 but don't really use it. My sister recently mentioned that she'd like to play some games together, but I never owned a PS3 myself so I don't know what to suggest.

@GibsonManiac My wife is a complete non-gamer but can play (and enjoys) the Lego games.

They’re quite simple and use the source material well so if she likes Harry Potter, Marvel, Star Wars etc then one of those would be a good choice.

@Thrillho That's a good idea, thanks! I forgot those games were multiplayer.
