Spec Me a New PS3 Game

yhack · 25 Jul 2009 at 21:18

Hi, I'm getting pretty bored of my games and I'm looking for something a bit different. I rarely play the PS3 anymore, but I want to get back into it.

I'm looking for an RPG type games, I really liked Diablo 2 on PC, something similar would be excellent, but all suggestions are welcome.

Here's what I've got:
Warhawk
Uncharted
Skate 1&2
GTA 4
Burnout Paradise
GT5 Prologue
Resistance 2
Pixeljunk Monsters
COD 4
Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction
LittleBigPlanet

What games do you recommend?

Valkyria Chronicles. Not enough copies of that gem were purchased. Now they're doing a sequel on the goddamn PSP.

I'd recommend Sacred 2 if you liked Diablo, its the closest you can get on consoles and absolutely huge (500+ quests) so will last you ages.

I wonder how Sacred 2 slipped under my radar. I have never even heard of it. It is similar to Dungeon Siege?

Maybe give fallout 3 a shot?

Cant go wrong with a Tomb Raider

Failing that Rainbow 6 Vegas is supposedly great!

2nd best game on the PS3 (after Uncharted) imo is Demon Souls so I recommend that

I've only dabbled in dungeon siege briefly but its similar in that you have loot drops, skill/level upgrades, the isometric camera and lots of quests from npcs. Its well worth checking out and don't let the little niggles you hear about it put you off.

Seconded! Also give Fallout 3 a try, as well as Infamous.

Oblivion or Fallout 3 if you havn't played either.

Fallout 3! Just picked it up myself, 2nd hand for £10 and I'm bloody loving it.

Heavenly Sword/Prince of Persia anyone?

Is Fallout 3 similar to Oblivion?
I had Oblivion on PC but never really got into, I didn't really like the first person part.

I'll look into all these games, thanks for the suggestions so far

Heavenly Sword is quite beautiful in parts and has some very good cut scenes. But I never finished it, the final boss battle always thwarts me.

Prince of Persia I loved a lot.

Did you ever get stuck looking for the last orb?

ic1male · 26 Jul 2009 at 12:17

Nope, I got to 1000 and I had an inkling that the last Light Seed would have something to do with the Ahriman temple sequence at the end. I did get stuck at several points during the 1000 and had to look on YouTube for how to get to some areas.

Fallout 3 can be played from a 3rd person perspective, although the combat is better in 1st person.One click on the left shoulder button changes between 1st/3rd person

Ooops just realised you are asking for PS3 games...but i presume the camera is the same on ps3 version.I have only played the 360 version.

I'll second this.

Resistance: Fall of Man/Killzone 2/Fallout 3/CoD5 (even if it's just for nazi zombies!)
