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

i dug out couple of my Playstation 3 games from my main videogame storage tub and got out God of War Saga Collection which i was thinking about getting back into playing God of War 1 along with God of War II and III before i play God of War 4 for my Playstation 4

@XandertheWise nice dude, I’ve recently finished playing through all the old Greek saga… they hold up pretty well fair play.

God of War 1 while it is old, it has a good story but has too much of puzzles to do such as the cranks to move walls around to get doors or hallway paths to open up.

the giant armored bull boss was sort of a pain to do last night but go through it. Didnt like how i had to move the analog stick buttons clockwise or counter clockwise to wrap the chain blades around its neck area or whatever

new games on the ps3 play list are

Alpha protocol
la noire
chronicles of riddick

I think i spent £2 on the lot

I thought I had retired my PS3 (...for the 2nd time) a few months ago but ended up buying Metal Gear Rising this month. I never played it and decided I need the platinum in my MGS trophies, after finally finishing MGS5.

@RogerRoger i’ve always had a gut feeling that i’d love sonic 06 , because i love the 3D sonic games and grew up with them on the gamecube . 06 gives me adventure 3 vibes , and i absolutely dig the design and theme of the game , plus multiple playable characters besides sonic ?? hell yeah . i adore the ambition the game had and i’ve been meaning for years to order 06 off amazon or something , but i’m just so caught up in the present and current gen ; factor in how buggy/unfinished the game is …i guess i just really never cared enough ? and i don’t think there’s trophies for 06 on ps3 either .

i have unleashed for both wii and ps3 , i got the HD version eventually and damn was it a next gen experience at the time , i was blown away . the graphics , speed , extra content and hub worlds had me hooked . i beat the wii version once and never looked back , the HD version i beat multiple times. i’m still playing frontiers as well . i don’t think i’ve asked you but , how’s frontiers for you ?? what’s your thoughts about it ? i haven’t beat it yet but i don’t mind spoilers .

@RogerRoger which topic was your review in ? i’d really like to read it . as for me , i’m still somewhat in the earlier parts of the game , i’ve been hooked on overwatch 2 , and gotham knights is on sale so i’m currently downloading that as well ; i gotta give WB a chance since i loved arkham origins so much , i just needed the price to be more justifiable due to shortcoming news, and $40 for a ps5 game is a steal . but from what i’ve played of frontiers so far , it’s just passable to me , it’s better than anything they’ve put out in a decade so i’m grateful for that ; and yeah it’s definitely not gonna top unleashed for me either .

speaking of unleashed , on my old PSN account i platinumed it , it was thanks to the hotdog mission (and youtube) that i was able to beat eggmanland and it became one of my favorite levels in the game . once you learn just how strong the shortcuts are in eggmanland and once you memorize it , it becomes significantly shorter and it’s a breeze . you can also take multiple hits and still get an S rank . just like you said about 06, you just have to learn how to play. if Playstation would get it together with their backwards compatibility, i’d still do speed-runs and replay it . xbox players are so lucky to have backwards compatibility with enhancements and no streaming needed .

@RogerRoger great review , as a matter of fact your review honestly made me excited for the game again ironically , lol !😂 i’d reckon i’d take my time with frontiers since it’s a refreshing miracle and god knows when the next sonic game will be anyway right ? it’s not like they release every 1-2 years anymore ; seems like i’m in for a treat with frontiers so i’m in no rush , but i’ll be sure to let you know my concluding thoughts , i can’t forget about the only guy with good tastes on this site ! 😂

as for gotham knights if you enjoyed it i know i will . can’t wait to let u know my thoughts about both !

Somewhat inspired by @nessisonett… and the fact that I quite liked the look of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga earlier this year, I’m finally starting my Lego gaming adventure today, with my first ever game in the series being Lego Lord of the Rings. Not sure if they’ll be my cup of tea… but I love Tolkien so, here goes…

@colonelkilgore I remember that one being really good, it’s more of an ‘actual’ game if you get what I mean too, with an open world that ties into the story.

Just played through the prologue of Captain America: Super Soldier and frame-rate issues aside, it looks to be the hidden gem I’ve heard tell about. Narrative and characterisation seem surprisingly good for a tie-in game and really playable too.

@LN78 yeah I picked all of em up second-hand at CEX over the past year. Don’t plan on playing any of the others but it’s just quite nice to have a little ‘Marvel-corner’ on my gaming shelves. Having said that, I do plan on playing the PS3 Wolverine game at some point… not that it is one of the Sega Phase 1 MCU games of course.

@LN78 very possibly mate, the old “hard-drive” isn’t quite what it once was I’m afraid 😅

Continuing to work through my PS3 backlog today is the today to play inFamous again. I played it back at release and remember it fondly, then played inFamous 2 back around 2 years ago and absolutely loved it. The inFamous platinum sounds pretty involved but looking forward to giving it a go.

@LN78 cheers dude, yeah the blast shards and ticking off all of the stunts seems like the biggest issues with the platinum-chase. Played the first couple of missions and still real playable, looks a little rougher than I remember but that’s fine.

@LN78 yeah at least two playthroughs bud, maybe more as getting everything done just right (or just wrong depending on the playthrough) can be finicky from my understanding. One of the playthroughs has to be on hard too.

I’m yet to play the two PS4 inFamous titles but I’d love a reboot of the PS3 games for sure, such a clever use of electricity as a superpower. They basically cover all the bases in the forms it can be used. Really enjoying getting back into it.

inFamous has been real good fun today. I’d imagine that I’m probably about halfway through my first playthrough and have managed to knock out 2 of the 3 problem stunts, so as long as I can get the 3rd during this playthrough I “should” be golden (or platinum if you get me 😉).

Lol, wouldn’t you just know… I’m stuck on 349 of 350 blast shards and have absolutely no idea where it is 🤬

Edit. Just found it 😅

Blazblue Central Fiction, because Nöel Vermillion, Makoto, etc. Also, Lollipop Chainsaw for similar reasons.

@RiotShieldsHurt bullet and litchi for me . but i’d be ok with bullet , just give me bullet 🍑
