Hey guys, been an avid pc gamer for as long as i can remember, but its time i invested in a console.

I'll be purchasing a PS3 next week and i'm already planning ahead with my games list.

Currently i have (in no order):

LA Noire
Red Dead Redemption
The Saboteur
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham City
Dirt3
Just Cause 2
Little Big Planet 2
Assassins creed series
Force unleashed
Force unleashed 2
Yakuza 4
Uncharted 1 + 2 (Thanks orderoftheflame)
infamous 1 + 2 (Thanks Chronictank)
Heavy Rain (Thanks IceBus)
God of War 3

I would appreciate it if you could recommend me some games i should play and also i feel i'm lacking a lot of RPGS from that list (big RPG fan) so RPG recommendations would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Uncharted 1 + 2 are must haves for the PS3 imo.

Fantastic choice, thank you.

I take it you would have played Fallout 3/New Vegas on the PC?

Wipeout HD/Fury. Very good game and looks amazing!

Played fallout 3, refuse to play new vegas due the developer behind it. They ruined KOTOR 2.

Id choose an Xbox over the PS3 anyday but I guess its your choice...

Other then that statement, do you have a reason behind that opinion?

LateX'Dog · 4 Jul 2011 at 12:45

Thanks for the comments. I've added a few suggestions to the list.

I've tried looking into MGS4 but i just can't get along with it, seems far to anime related and i really can't stand anime.

Sadly i'm also not into the multiplayer aspect (Have MMO's for that).

I wouldn't say MGS4 is anime related at all

Different strokes for different folks.

Now you've got me intrigued.

Discounting all online features, why is the Xbox 360 better than the PS3?

This isn't derailing the thread, as the OP asked you this same question earlier in the thread, and you didn't reply.

Would be interested in an informed reason, rather then, "because i said so"

What made you wait 7 years and then buy at a time when the current consoles are passed their best ?

MW

Avid avid PC gamer, with great reluctance i buy a console. Some of the games that will never come on the PC is the single main reason.

Get a 360, way better for games in general, even forgetting all the extras you get with xbox LIVE like sky and lastFM, whenever i hear of a game being buggy or having issues its invariably a PS3 version issue.

Of course ultimately do what i did and buy both.

Why is it "Way better"? You don't even provide any evidence apart from just an opinion.

Do you understand what anime is?

Metal Gear Solid 4 is not anime related in any way, shape or form and to exclude it through ignorance would mean missing out on one of the greatest games of the current generation, and in my opinion one of the greatest games ever created.

I've already explained on the previous page, a guy with a ninja suit, the overall dress code and mannerisms. One thing that annoys me the most is when he runs, hes like the hunch back of notre dame.

I'm not saying its a terrible game in any way, i've never played it. Its just the impression i'm getting from it.

My advice would be to buy a couple at a time.

You'll regret buying all of them and probably end up not finishing them.

Demon's Souls and the ICO HD re-master is out in the future.

Ultimately though, buy what you feel like you would like. I haven't seen the attraction to Uncharted and the like but different strokes etc.

Heh, i wont be buying them all at once, its just a list i will end up playing through.

LateX'Dog · 7 Jul 2011 at 11:21

Well i got my PS3 yesterday.

I managed to get:

250gb Console
2x Controllers
All leads
Wireless headset
Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain

For £185.

Bargain i think.

Please play Uncharted before U2 - its clunkier, but its a good game and makes you appreciate the character chemistry more in the 2nd one...

Also when you think of MSG4, just think of why something like Deus Ex is so good, it needs to be experienced...

And get used to jaggies, took me a while, but nowadays I dont care

ps3ud

Heh, i bought uncharted 1 today!

So already playing it now!

Noticed jaggies already, shame, but its overlookable....

Turn up the 'Smoothness' on your TV settings.

I have a Sony bravia, so i just set it to "Game" mode.

but i'll look up the smoothness setting on the TV when i get back from work.

Thanks.

It's annoying they milk the consoles, the ps3 and 360 should have been superseded by now as 6 years in technology terms is a life time.

I've considered another console but atm I don't feel they're good enough and then I'll have to wait a year after a new release for the prices to drop and the amount of games to be available

MW

Well i'm very impressed with the graphics i've seen of Uncharted.

So i can understand why they have lasted 6 years.
