Topic: What PS3 game(s) are you currently playing?

i'm currently replaying Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

I'm playing Bioshock on 'Hard' at the moment, the deaths get a bit repetitive when you're up against the enemies that can withstand a significantly greater amount of damage than your average splicer, but I'd say it's worth it.

@RogerRoger I fired up the PS2 recently to show the kids what they missed. We Love Katamari went down very well. They were laughing hysterically when we started rolling up people.

@RogerRoger I was at uni when it came out, too! Once we were at a quiz and we had too many people for a team, so me and my mate formed a breakaway team of two, we decided our team name would be ''Na na na na na na na na katamari on the swing''. This was met with the kind of response you'd expect from everyone in the pub, except for someone in the corner who went "woo!"

GTA: San Andreas. It's great so far, what does everyone else think of it?

I just started Mass Effect 3 so far, awesome game with excellent storytelling so far. Bioware before it started going down-hill and described it’s latest Mass Effect game as soft-core space porn.

@RogerRoger Yes, my two year absence started right after I beat Mass Effect 2, so I’m excited to finally finish the story.

i'm currently playing FINAL FANTASY XIII on my PS3, that game gets far too much hate for being "linear" when all the others were too, they just gave the ILLUSION of being open, take FFVII in Midgar you have to follow a set path then as soon as you leave you HAVE to go to Kalm, the you HAVE to go to the Chocobo ranch, the you have to go to Junon, the you HAVE to go to the Costa del Sol etc, etc it's not until right at the end you even get to explore and they all do that FF1 though 10, 12, and even 15 although that one does the opposite by giving you the open world first then going linear to focus the story

About to boot up Folklore. Bought it a long time ago but never played it.

@AdamantiumClaws Ah, Folkore ... a good game that I never finished. Let us know how you like it.

Movement feels clunky, also not a fan of lack of voice-acted cutscenes, and the fixed camera at most points. But the concept for the story and the art direction are breath-taking. We shall see if I finish the game. Feels like it could use a director's cut, or be made into a movie. It would be a fantastic movie.

Guys I need some advice, and this may be a weird question to ask here. But I was looking for games to get for my Wii U as I recently got one, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut was one of them. I initially thought it was exclusively for Wii U until the other day when I realized it's for PS3 as well. So my question is, should I get it for PS3 or Wii U? I'm not really a big fan of the gamepad, and I know the graphics will be worse, but some people say that that the use of gamepad really makes things easier. I don't know what to think.

Damn, really?? If that ain't a first for a Wii U game...

@AdamantiumClaws The Wii U is a bit more powerful than the 360/PS3, not a huge meant, but it is non-the less.

Wait sorry, do you mean the console in general or the just this game?

@AdamantiumClaws The console in general.

Ok guys not sure how What PS3 game are you playing thread became a Wii U thread but let's continue this discussion in the Chit Chat thread.

Thanks for understanding.

@RogerRoger That’s interesting about your early experience with Dragon Age Origins. I am actually quite a fan of high fantasy and yet I didn’t really like DAO for the reasons you outlined above. The gameplay just seemed wonky and the combat so imprecise. I didn’t last long with it before quitting. As a result, I skipped over Dragon Age 2, but then came back to the franchise to play Dragon Age Inquisition. DAI was a pleasant surprise and I was very much enjoying it, but I got bogged down with the endless side activities and large world that I just never finished the game, despite pouring probably 50 hours into it. I still regret that I didn’t see it through to completion. I always told myself I’d go back, but I’m not sure I could at this point, it having been a few years passage.

Edit: I promise that I do actually finish many of the games I start. It seems like I’ve been going on about a lot of games I don’t complete lately. 😂

I still have a lot of love for my PS3 and still play it regularly, especially the Mass Effect Trilogy which I still think is awesome even after all these years - big fan of the Dragon Age games too (yup, even Dragon Age 2 despite its obvious shortcomings).

Despite its ageing graphics and general clunkiness, Dragon Age Origins still holds up pretty well today - I remember my first playthrough as a mage was pretty tough especially towards the end as I always felt underpowered, but I played it again last year as a warrior and I enjoyed it much more, even managed to complete all the DLC too.

If EA/Bioware ever remastered or remade these games I'd be all over them like a rash!

i recently started Final Fantasy XIII again (although i have put it on the back burner because of KH3), i did start a game on the XB1 when it was added to the XB1 BC program (yes i own it on both PS3 and 360) BUT as my XB1s isn't set as my Home Machine (the one in the living room with the broken disc drive is and i can't change otherwise everyone else who uses would lose access to games and DLC) and it's internet adapter has broken i can't play any of the BC games because i can't connect online

back on topic though i still love the game and it gets far too much hate, people say it's linear, so was every FF before it they just hid it, they say it's "press one button to win" well FFXII can play itself thanks to the Gambit system yet it's applauded

people just hate on it because it's "cool" to
