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

I have just finished PS3 Taxidermist DLC for heavy rain was good had 5 endings

weird it wasn't included on the ps4 version

@Bentleyma Cool games you are playing. Batman: Arkham Asylum and 'Arkham City are very good games in my opinion, loved them. It feels bit unfortunate that it seems that many people have kind of forgot about them (and some other action titles)... It would cool to know more about your experience with the games later on hehe.

'I had to like force myself to stop playing Arkham City a little more then a year ago because otherwise I would have had a hard time to move on to other games.. Felt like I could play that game forever hehe.

Dragon Age II. It has its flaws, but don’t get all the hate. It’s not Origins, but it’s still good on its own merits.

@MidnightDragonDX glad you’re enjoying it bud. From memory, it just felt like a bit of a step back from Origins (to me at least). It been a while but I remember it being a fair bit more linear… and maybe that you couldn’t switch to control party members (could be wrong on that last part though).

@MidnightDragonDX Same here. I remember enjoying it when I finally played it on my Xbox a couple of years ago or so. Like you said, it's not as good as Origins, but it was still enjoyable. I also liked how they told the story via the cutscenes in between acts.

You can switch control to party members as needed. Playing as a mage and switch to one of my rogues to disarm traps and open chests a lot. I was annoyed there were fewer places you can switch out characters at first, but got over it.

I quickly got sick of one of my companions whining about mages and templars. Yes, I get that’s the main conflict. Since I’m a mage and he’s one, just kept him out of the group after I maxed my relationship with him.

Currently in the final act completing side quests since there’s only a few main ones.

@Bentleyma Human Revolution is great, The Director's Cut is even better but not really sure if it's on PS3, it's awesome on Wii U though.

@Bentleyma that is crazy cheap, the platinum is somewhat easy too, if you're into trophy hunting.

@edwinjoe450 Deus ex human revolution directors cut is on ps3 ( i own it) it comes with the dlc and new game+ where as the original version doesnt

@Bentleyma Maybe you should have played something else in between the two then.

@Bentleyma You've single-handedly resurrected the PS3 thread here, so I guess you can do whatever you want.

I found my old PS3 several months back and have it hooked up again, but it's not easy to make time for it given how much I have to play on the PS5 (PS5 games and PS4 backlog). I'm still glad to have it though.

@Bentleyma
Also, the installation of PS3 games on HDD are way smaller than PS4 so you can save a lot of GB by playing PS3 games in physical.

I love my ps3 easily my favourite console

This summer I am going to get back into the tail end of Assassins Creed Brotherhood and try to finish it off. last year i saved at the part where you have to run from a gazillion guard soldiers and try to get them off your tail by using smoke bombs. That part was crazy when i was trying to do it.

that and sort of get back into regular Persona 4 or get back into playing the beginning of Tales of Symphonia 1 of the Chronicles collection that i bought digitally a couple of years ago

im pretty sure they have limited the top speed of ps3 network because it usually maxes out at 30 download and 7 upload

@Bentleyma i played and beat Tales of XIllia 1 a few years ago and i liked it. I wouldnt mind replaying it as the main boy character to see what his story path is like.

XIllia 2 was fun but then i got burned out at the very end.

Tales of Graces F i kind of liked but didnt really enjoy the story that much and the extra costumes i didfnt like since it was all about the stupid swim suit wear

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles i like since it has Symphonia 1 and 2. I beat Tales of Symphnia at least one or twice when I used to have it for my Gamecube one time. Symphonia 2 i played a little bit in the beginning and i like it. just need to restart and replaty it to refresh my memory of the game's story etc

@Bentleyma Nothing wrong with that. If it's not my favorite console of all time, it's definitely up there as it ended up changing gaming for me forever once I got it. I was primarily an online gamer on the Xbox 360, but now I just play single player games thanks to the greatness of that library.

You are also definitely right about the price of games. The only issue is with some that ended up going out of print and such like Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. I was stupid and sold it back in the day, so it cost me around $60 to get it back this year. I'm sure DLC for some games might be tricky now too, but like I said earlier, I'm really glad to have found my PS3.

@Bentleyma I haven't thought about it but it would be interesting to see which cross-gen titles that came out on PS3/PS4 hold up on PS3. It would be cool if you ever decided to play something like say Metal Gear Solid V on PS3.

I still have a fair amount of games in my PS3 backlog to play through. The biggest challenge for me though are the PS Move games. Some I really want to play, like Sorcery and Medieval Moves, as they look quite fun. But others I'm not as inclined. One example is the Wonderbook titles. Don't know if anyone remembers them, but they basically utilised the PS Eye camera, PS Move controller and AR technology on a book so that you could see yourself on the TV screen while doing stuff on the book in real life. It sounds like a cool idea, but I feel absolutely embarrassed playing something like it lol. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually get around to these games!

I do look forward to playing other PS3 titles like Puppeteer, Starhawk, Sly Cooper 3 and 4, LittleBigPlanet Karting, Ni no Kuni and so on. It's quite easy to forget just how many exclusives the PS3 had compared to the PS4.
