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

@colonelkilgore We’ll probably have Final Fantasy 7: Reconnaissance by then. Or whether it’s going to be called. 😄

@Th3solution … Final Fantasy VII: Retromingent maybe 🤔 (Google it 😉)

@colonelkilgore 🤣 Awesome. First of all, I didn’t know they had a word for that. And second of all, yes absolutely it needs to be called that! 😂 Although maybe it would be a better name for Death Stranding 3. Having mushrooms grown behind you could somehow be core to the gameplay experience.

@Th3solution 😅 yeah it would actually fit the Death Stranding games better… back to the drawing board 🤭

Brutal Legend is next up, just scrolling through the trophy guide and… the trophy for 100% - Metal God is so glitched that it glitches out for every single player after their progression reaches 78% completion and they close the game. Therefore the only way that the platinum is possible is through careful planning to get your game to 77%, make a manual save and then try and get the remaining 23% in one sitting. Awe ****, here we go again! 😅

So after a day and a half of grinding out multiplayer trophies, I’m finally starting the single player story on Brutal Legend… looks pretty cool so far tbh.

Yeah Brutal Legend is a really cool forgotten gem fair play. I’m about halfway through the main story after today’s session and while the game play (protagonist control) is average at best, the art design, creativity, soundtrack and voice cast are very good. The RTS element is interesting too… if a little janky.

It’s like some crazy combination of GTA, Kingdom of Amalur, Warcraft and Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny. I love Jack Black from that School of Rock era and he’s bang on form here.

Started the Final Fantasy XIII Trapezohedron farm this afternoon and… this is gonna take some time. Then once I’ve farmed 5 of them (I currently have zero!) I’ll have to farm 6 Dark Matters… which are even harder to farm! 😅

@colonelkilgore
You’re gonna really enjoy Kingdom come deliverance when you finally get round to playing it, circa 2028.
Really difficult to start with and I still get murdered when I’m ambushed by lots of enemies but one on one combat is great fun.

Just finished another replay of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, my favorite R&C game so far

Well after a 8 days of farming trapezohedrons on FFXIII, my second one just dropped… just another 3 to go 🫠

I'm playing Dragon Age Origins, on PC, but close enough lol. It really is a great RPG, I see why it's so beloved. I want to play DA2 afterwards. The choice in Redcliffe was absolutely insane. One of the grimiest things I've ever seen in a game.

3 trapezohedrons down, two to go 🙏🙏

Holy **** the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Kleidos Challenges on Prince of Darkness difficulty are tough! 😰

@BeyondKnight hopefully it’s better than ToD , because i’m bored to tears with my playthrough of ToD again. it’s not as good as i remember it being, especially since im playing right after replaying through the ps2 trilogy.

@nomither6 It was great, now playing Into the Nexus

Well that’s the last Kleidos Challenge done on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2… and apparently the plat-blocker for most people. I get why too… out of the 16 challenges, I’d only rank 2 below tricky, 9 as tricky, 4 as very difficult and 1 (the one I just did… which took me over 3 hours of constant attempts… most of which lasted no longer than a few seconds 😅) as bordering on impossible.

So with those challenges done on the highest difficulty, that took my completion percentage to 110% also, so everything is done apart from a ng+ playthrough on Prince of Darkness difficulty. Having already experienced that difficulty during the challenges I’m aware that it won’t be easy but being able to just fight without the crazy constraints of Kleidos will hopefully enable a relatively smooth ride. If I get this, it will be the most difficult Character-Action plat I’d have gotten yet… but has also made me question whether I’m actually up to the ones to come (which are all considered more difficult than this one) namely Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4, Devil May Cry 5, Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising. At 45, I better get a wriggle on while my reaction speed is still half-decent!

It’s been pretty awesome starting Deus Ex: Human Revolution today. I played it back in 2011 on 360 and remember enjoying it quite a bit but kinda forgot about it. Then I played Deus Ex: Mankind Divided a couple of years back and I remember liking that a fair bit too but thought at the time that it would be my last foray into its world as the trilogy-capper had been cancelled.

I’d picked up a copy of Human Revolution on ps3 to fill its place in my collection next to the sequel, never really intending on playing it but… when I deceived to clear as much of my ps3 backlog as possible this year, I felt that I had to include it… and now that I’ve gotten around to it, I’m glad I did.

Don’t think I’ve played an immersive-sim since I played the sequel a couple of years back and it feels real fresh as a result. Such a quality series… and so sad it’s been abandoned.

Fallout 3

Given it's history of having plenty of issues on PS3, we'll see how it goes. I plan on trying to creating new saves periodically and deleting previous ones to try to keep the save file below 10 MB. After loving the TV show though and never coming remotely close to finishing it on Xbox way back in the day, I'm hoping all goes relatively well at least.
