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

@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 🍑

@nomither6 Bullet is yet another reason to keep playing this amazing game! Honestly, I truly believe that Blazblue is the best fighting franchise of all time!!!

@RiotShieldsHurt i couldn’t agree more ! street fighter is my personal #1 , but blazblue is a close second , i definitely put CF over SFV & as someone who doesn’t even like or watch anime , i freaking love blazblue even though it’s mostly because it’s a fighting game otherwise i wouldn’t of played it but even the story that’s hard to follow i still loved it .

it’s a shame it ended instead of guilty gear , but i understand guilty gear came first so whatever . guilty gear is bland compared to blazblue in every way but graphics imo .

Played a bit of both Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2, which I missed first time round and got for pennies recently. Modern Warfare 3 just isn’t as good as 2 multiplayer wise, the maps aren’t great and we found ourselves playing more Terminal than anything else, which was included for some reason in the bonus maps. Black Ops 2 on the other hand is brilliant, with well designed maps and interesting guns due to its near-future setting. The Zombies map that’s on disc is rubbish but at least the multiplayer is fun and has bots!

@nessisonett MW3 was the start of infinity wards streak of horrible maps; after MW3 it only got worse with Ghosts , Infinite Warfare , etc , so thats expected. Treyarch on the other hand had more fun multiplayer but the gameplay engine or whatever wasn't as polished as infinity ward.

two great games nonetheless from the end of the golden era of COD. But you really dont enjoy dome from MW3 ? Thats like the nuketown of MW3 ! Paris map wasn't too bad neither .

@nomither6 Dome was the best of a bad lot I’d say, still not a patch on Rust though.

Not a game, but I was looking in my basement for something that I ended up not finding, only to find my old MGS4 bundle PS3 that I thought I had sold a long time ago. I unfortunately now wasted the money when I bought a Japanese PS3 quite a while ago last year, but I'm still happy about it as now I have all of my old game saves back. Maybe I can finally finish Final Fantasy XIII as I have my late game save back instead of the much earlier save from playing the game last year, and I even still have the PS3 version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World installed that has been long delisted. There's also plenty of nostalgia with it given that this system is the reason why I'm the gamer I am today.

@LN78 Haha well ripoff has negative connotations which this game doesn't actually deserve but it is pretty much GoW set within the confines of Christian theology rather than Greek mythology. It is very well done though and has a lot to like about it. You should bump it up your list, look forward to hearing what you think.

@LN78 funnily enough, I added the anime to my watchlist on Amazon Prime just last night

@LN78 Yeah I remember as part of the marketing campaign they hired "Christian protestors" to protest its release lol. It did make the news so maybe money well spent until it was revealed they'd been hired.
