I'm looking for the TOP 20 PS3 games everyone must have...
Any suggestions?
Journey
Killzone 3
The Last of Us
Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD
Little Big Planet 2
Yakuza 4
Heavy Rain
Valkyria Chronicles
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Nier
Uncharted 2+3 (if you can put up with Drake)
The Unfinished Swan
Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection
God of War III
Resistance 3
Gran Turismo 6 (forthcoming)
Mass Effect Trilogy
Bionic Commando Rearmed
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
InFamous 2
It also has the best console port of Portal 2, if you haven't already played the PC version.
I'll just like some of the my must hames
GOD Of War 3 - Brilliant action game
Heavy Rain - One of the best games I've ever played and the ending is truly shocking
God Of War Ascension - Best garphics this generation
The Last of Us- Just amazing
Killzone 2 - Great FPS
Uncharted 2 - Just one of the best action games you can buy
ICO/SOC HD - This is how a HD remakes should be done
Motorstorm Pacific - A racer that fun to play
Valkyria Chronicles - Nice game and the best cartoon visuals you'll ever see.
Reistance 3 - Like Half Life 2 its amazing
Hotshot Golf WT - The best Golf game money can buy
It's not out until February, but when it is... Earth Defense Force 2025.
If you've never played an EDF game before they're budget titles and an acquired taste maybe but I think anybody who likes old school arcade-ish games will love the shit out of it.
Instead of just God of War 3, why not just get the GoW Anthology (or whatever it's called), which includes all five games in the series up to that point?
Good idea, no?
Last of Us is on sale for $39.99 at Kmart..
I don't know anything about the game. Heard it was good... Just saw the sale today. Thought I'd share..
In no specific order.
1. Fallout 3
2. Fallout New Vegas
3. Oblivion
4. Skyrim.
5. Mortal Kombat 9
6. Ultra SF4 (When its released)
7. Ghostbusters
8. Red Dead Redemption
9. GTA IV
10 GTA V (when its released)
11. Batman Arkham Asylum
12 Batman Arkham City
13 KOF XIII
14 Telltale's Walking Dead game
15 Portal (its on the orange box)
16 Portal 2
and probably more but this is what I enjoy.
The best exclusives the PS3 has to offer.
Demons Souls
The Last of Us
God of War 3
Ico/Shadow of The colossus HD collection
Dragon's Crown
Under Defeat HD
Tales of Zillia

I'll chip in with the Sly Cooper series of games (The Sly Collection HD, and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time).
Really top-notch platformers.
Warhawk is a pretty fun online game. There's also Sonic CD 2011 port on PSN. NBA Jam is fun too.

Make sure to get Mortal Kombat Komplete, it has all the DLC on the disc.Quote:

Yes, I forgot to add the Uncharted 1 and 2 combo. I didn't get it today because it was used. Although, I browsed through the gameplay of part 3 that came bundled with my PS3 and I was not impressed with the soapy gameplay mechanics.
P.S.> 'Not a fan of cart racers, though ;)
Fair enough. I will say, this one has a better sense of speed than most (usually cart racers feel plodding, this one doesn't). Also, the Sega references are entertaining. I would say if you see it cheap, give it a whirl. Maybe there's a demo?Quote:

BUT if we're talking good console ports, definitely pick up:
Allstars Racing Transformed
Rayman Origins
Xcom: Enemy Unknown
Bioshock 1 and 2 (Bioshock 1 isn't nearly as good as 2, but it's necessary to get the story of 2. I always get flamed for this controversial opinion)
Borderlands 2 (really enjoyed the multiplayer on this one for the PC. Sister plays the PS3 version and it seems allright)
GTA IV (get this with the episodes from Liberty City)
LA Noire
And even though I haven't picked this one up yet: Red Dead Redemption
I'm sure KnuckleDuster can tell you why you should pick that one up. I've always wanted to try it out myself.
Red Dead Redemption is one of the definitive experiences this generation. Unfortunately it's only on PS360, but given Rockstar's track record of unoptimised engine ports it's not a great loss that a Windows release never materialised. (Max Payne 3 was decent however)
I've trawled PSN for some hidden must-plays.. Too bad that they won't be playable in the future unless you CFW your PS3. I see no fans of Journey on this board. Fail.
Red Dead Redemption!!!!!!!!!!! <-- One of the best games ever made.... EVER!
Dragon Age Origins <---- AMAZING character and story writing... One of the best RPGs I've ever played.
The Last of Us <--- A zombie game perfected...
Metal Gear Solid 5 <-- One of my fav in the serious.. Very touching story of an aging war ravaged man.
Uncharted 1-3 <-- SOOOO much fun to play and the story keeps you sucked in at all times.
Bioshock <-- An absolute classic with amazing gameplay, story, and atmosphere
Bioshock Infinite <-- Same at the first!!
Heavy Rain <--- Super cinematic and VERY awesome story.
Little Big Planet 2 <--- Awesome if you like creating levels or playing ones other people created.
Mass Effect <--- SUPER awesome Sci-Fi action RPG shooter
God of War 3 <--- My favorite in the whole series.. Fucking EPIC boss battles.
Ni No Kuni <-- Fantastic JRPG with a really simple but deep story
The Darkness 1 and 2 <-- Overlooked gems
Fallout 3 <-- The best of the Fallout games and probably the best action RPG I've ever played.
Skyrim <--- Beautiful graphics, amazing gameplay, and TONS of shit to explore.. Soft of the story but it makes up for it 10 fold with everything else.
Congrats on the new system. I'd definitely echo what others have said aboutRed Dead Redemption, that's been my favorite game of this gen. If you like RPGs then No No Kuni is a good exclusive and Skyrim will give you endless amounts of play. My favorite fighters this gen have been Soul Caliber IV and BlazBlue. Burnout Paradise and Sega Rally Revo are great racers. Under Defeat HD is a solid update of the DC game if you like shmups. Soldner X and Sine More are download only shmups as well. Batman Arkham Asylum and Ninja Gaiden Sigma are great action titles, and Civilization Revolution is a great strategy game that is much more arcadey than typical strategy games. Finally, I'll add Rayman Origins which is an outstanding platformer.
Also, you've got to throw in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.
Edited to italicize titles.
While not PS3 exclusives, there are these:
Sonic and Allstars Racing Transformed:
Amazing "MarioKart Clone" that blows MK out of the water on all fronts. It oozes with Sega style and plays like classic Sega Arcade Racers. Though the PC and Wii U versions are better in both content and graphics.
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition:
A great entry into the Street Fighter Franchise. Plus on the PS3 you can use those nice USB Saturn pads.
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3:
It's Marvel vs Capcom, what's not to like?
Resident Evil 5:
An ok, nice looking, Resident Evil game. It plays more like an action game like 4, though not quite as good. Still leaps and bounds better than 6 though.
Bayonetta:
A brilliant action game that's like Devil May Cry on really REALLY good drugs. It oozes with Sega style is just a blast to play through. Though the PS3 port has some technical shortcomings in the frame rate and loading department. If you have a 360 definitely get that version instead.
Star Ocean the Last Hope:
When Final Fantasy got really mediocre around FF12 I really got into this series. This one doesn't disappoint and is a blast to play. It's one of those RPGs were you want to get into random battles because they're so much fun. The 360 version has better graphics, but the PS3 has the benefit of being on one disc.
Virtua Fighter 5:
An excellent new entry in the Virtua Fighter series. Final Showdown was recently released on 360, though I don't remember if it's on PS3 or not.
Man, I wish I had gone with the PS3 over the 360, but it actually wasn't until recently that I've been thinking that. I can't really justify owning both, and I enjoy the 360 enough to not trade it all in.
Anyhow, I'll suggest some multi-platform games to the TC.
01. Mass Effect Series
02. Red Dead Redemption
03. Bioshock Series
04. Fallout 3
05. Batman Arkham Series
06. The Orange Box/ Portal Series
07. Borderlands Series
08. Sega & Sonic All-Star Racing Series
09. Catherine
10. Dragon's Crown (been playing it on the Vita)
This thread has demonstrated that some don't bother reading prior posts.
:oand all this time i thought you a PS3 Chip built into your circuit board:oQuote:

If you're buying a game (like the Batman Arkham games or the Fallout series, Elder Scrolls series, etc etc) make sure you buy the Game of the Year Edition, new if possible, these include all the extras crammed in. A common (and shitty) practice now is to include download codes, so if you are going for these editions, buying them new is the only way to go (otherwise the codes will already have been used and you won't get diddy all). Just my two cents.
Not sure why it is generally speaking but the PS3 version of multi-platform games seems to suck in comparison to the 360 version. Don't get me wrong they are playable just not as polished.
It's gotten better recently. The PS3 had a difficult architecture and RAM bottlenecks so the earlier you go back in time the bigger the differences in quality are. If you're that concerned about quality just get the Windows version where applicable.Quote:

Great tip. I've only bought Assassins Creed and Prototype black labels used; but only because they're so difficult to find at a good price new.Quote:

It's a good system and you're picking it up at a good time. Tons of cheap, quality games available now.Quote:

Further questions:
1. Is it just me, or are the controls a bit laggy on action games such as Uncharted or Assassin's creed?
2. Is it worth it getting the free 1 year Plus membership?
The PS3 is region free, so you could buy a UK copy for cheap and play on your machine as if it were the US version. Both those games are cheap and easy to find over here, so my best advice is, if you can't find it locally for a good price, give Amazon UK a check for a better price. Or Amazon Canada, whatever's easier.Quote:
