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

@nomither6 I got a copy of Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition off of eBay about a month and a half ago. I also got Dragon Age: Origins last year that I still have to play as well. I've already played it on Xbox, but figured I might as well restart the series on PlayStation. Those are 2 that come to mind other than inFamous 2.

@KilloWertz nice those games are more on the lengthy side. i don’t blame you for prioritizing newer games .

I have the final side mission on The Saboteur left and that should be for the plat 🤞, then onto Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which I’ll be starting tomorrow. Have only ever played Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night previously, both of which were quite different from each other but I enjoyed both quite a bit. I know that LoS will be an even bigger departure from the norm what with it being a 3D Character Action game rather than a 2D platformer/metroidvania but that’s fine as I’ve slowly grown quite fond of the Character Action genre over time. Hopefully it’s a good’ un.

@colonelkilgore have fun with lords of shadow. Didn’t make it far into that one.

@Yousef- wasn’t enjoying it or something else caught your attention?

@colonelkilgore a mix of both, actually.

@Yousef- fair enough, it happens. What I would say is that I’ve returned to a few games that I didn’t initially click with over the years… and sometimes found I was missing out on a truly great game (not saying that would be the case for you here though of course).

Btw, who is your new avatar?

@colonelkilgore nah, I getcha. I do have the game ready to install on my series at any moment. So not like I have inconvenient access to it. Plus it’s a gow-clone (using that term neutrally simply out of habit, not insulting the game) so I can see myself blasting through it in a weekend.

My avatar is Chuck Greene from Dead Rising. Protagonist of Dead Rising 2 (aged 29) , but a returning a character in Dead Rising 3 (aged 39) after a ten year time skip.
You’re kidding me, right?

@Yousef- never actually played a Dead Rising game as it goes… maybe I’ll remedy that with the new remaster later this year though.

@colonelkilgore never too late, the remaster will be a great jumping point.

@nomither6 Yeah, I definitely will want to play some shorter games given that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and then all of the DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla that I neglected for years have been my last two games played. I'm in the middle of Dawn of Ragnarok now and then I'll be done with all that.

Just started Darkness 2. Still have a few untouched games in my pile of shame from the PS3.

@Scrambled99 nice, I remember seeing that the Darkness games were received really quite well. Let us know your thoughts as you have more time with it.

@Scrambled99 @colonelkilgore darkness dualogy is pretty solid. Have them on my Xbox via backwards compatibility. They deserve the praise but I should finish them.

Plus I’m gonna be using The Duke…. To maximize the retroness.

@Yousef- cool, though I think I’d give myself repetitive strain injury wielding the gamma-duke if I tried.

As far as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow goes it’s pretty decent. It took an hour or three for me to think that though as the first few chapters seemed a bit slow and samey but now that I’ve unlocked a few combat moves and magic-abilities I’ve come around to it.

@colonelkilgore shockingly, the Duke is quite comfortable and I like it more than the series controller so far.

Yeah character action games live and die by their upgrades.

Lords of Shadow is quite a lot of fun so far.

@Yousef- yeah it’s turning out to be a real solid pre-2018 God of War clone, glad it’s clicking with you this time. I’m through to chapter 9 rn and it’s pretty much improved with every chapter tbh.

Special shout out to the score too, the music is fantastic, particularly when you get to the castle.

@trev666 some good games there, played a couple of them recently myself. I have Deus Ex: Human Revolution coming up too… played it back in 2011 and recall liking it quite a bit, I also liked Mankind Divided when I played that a few years ago so looking forward to returning to the series.
