The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

I preordered mine. My PS3 is in the surgery ward at my friends house. He's trying to revive it. If he does then so be it I'll have something to do when I have my month off from classes in August, and if not then I'll wait for my PS4 patiently.
 
Fifa and Netflix are the only two things preventing me from trading in my ps3.

For those of you guys looking for good platformers. Rayman Origins and Guacamelee are some of my favourites. Don't sleep on puppeteer either. The demo came out last week in Japan and had good reception

I highly recommend the Ratchet and Clank games up above as well.

Just got the Jak and Daxter Trilogy on Vita. Can't wait to dive into it
 
You guys are really depriving yourselves of some quality out there if you aren't occasionally giving some of the best from genres you normally don't look at a try.

Cats in here playing straight shooters and sports games :lol:

ALL I MESS WITH. BETWEEN MY PS3 AND XBOX 360 I OWN 21 GAMES. 18 ARE SHOOTERS. I SEE THE TREND CONTINUING WHEN MY XBONE AND PS4 ARRIVE :lol:

YEA COD, BF4, KILLZONE, HALO, MEDAL OF HONOR.
 
I play mostly shooters, but not all first person.

Lately I've been playing The Last of Us, Black Ops 2, and Injustice. So a decent mix.... maybe.... lol.
 
Shooters and sports games have the most replay value though (to me at least i can't play through a single player game more then once to get all the bonuses or coins or hidden gems or what not).
Games cost too much for me to buy a single player game and only get 30 hours of game play out of it.
 
Replay value is all subjective. I've beaten Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction like 5 times. I've gone back, collected all the gold bolts, HOLO plans for the RYNO, beat challenge mode, etc. Same for the Uncharted games, especially the first, just because I really like the story and the plot twist when the gameplay changes.

Reeeaaally long single player games like RPG's, I only beat once, because of all the grinding and what not, but there are really good paced single player games in the 12-18 hour range like Infamous, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, Ratchet & Clank Future, God of War, etc. that are compelling enough to play more than once. Plus you notice things you didn't the first play through. It's like a good movie that you rewatch all the time. Don't get me wrong though. I play a lot of shooters and sports simulation too, but I need that variety and the games are really good.

I don't know if this was ever posted, but this is a pretty good Knack interview with gameplay. The interviewer has no idea what he's talking about though.

I agree with you i tend to buy the single player games used....way late :lol:. Like picked up the GOD collection for $40 that had 3 games....and picked up the Shadow of the Colossus/ico collection for cheap....was gonna grab the jak and daxter pack too. I like the games but hard for me to justify the price tag on most of them

I gotta agree with this. I also can't play the computer in sports games too long without getting bored. I get more satisfaction playing people.

This is how I do it. I bought Shadow of the Colossus for $10 when it hit PSN, and will be picking up the God of War Saga collection for $40 (pretty much every GoW to drop in one set), and that Assassin's Creed Ezio Trilogy Collection for $40 in the next few days. That should be 8 full-fledged games for $80. Tons of hours of gameplay. I can't wait.

I'm really anticipating Kingdom Hearts 1.5 too, since I never got to beat the original Kingdom Hearts.

You do? I'm in favor of single player games. I think they have a lot of replay value if they're good and done right. I buy single player games brand new all the time.
 
Replay value of single player games is pretty risky.  I mean $60 for a game you may only play once thru is a lot.  But then I just think back to when video games for the SNES and Genesis were 70+ with no online play, no dlc, no achievements.  But i can see why people don't bother.

I could play MGS series anytime.  Several Final Fantasies over and over.  Even some wild games like Catherine (which also has a very entertaining multiplayer).

I know the BioShock series is awesome, still havent played it.  Mass Effect sounds like one i could get into.  

So many quality games out there

I just think I'm over first person shooters.  I mean what has changed since COD4? You can jump and sprint now in Halo, cool... You get different kill/score streaks, cool... Customize your weapons, cool... You get a dog?... 

TitanFall has already been done before in COD.  Those titans are essentially larger Juggernauts.  Cool... i guess

How do people spend 20+ days online multiplayer per each new FPS that comes out?  Think about how many DAYS you've spent playing first person shooters.  its insane!

NEW FEATURES ARE NICE, BUT I KNOW FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS, IT ISN'T THE NEW FEATURES FROM GAME TO GAME, IT'S THE COMPETITIVENESS THAT FPS'S BRING TO THE TABLE AND ONLINE COMMUNITY. I USUALLY FOLLOW AND PLAY THE BIG GAMES (COD, HALO, BATTLEFIELD) WHERE THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF ONLINE GAMERS ARE TO ENSURE I'M PLAYING AGAINST THE BEST AND SEE HOW MY SKILLS STACK UP. CAN'T FIND THE TYPE OF COMPETITIVENESS I LIKE OUTSIDE OF FPS'S EXCEPT IN MAYBE MADDEN WHICH I PLAY FROM TIME TO TIME.

IT'S LIKE PLAYING BBALL IN REAL LIFE. WHAT MAJOR NEW FEATURES OR RULES ARE ADDED YEAR TO YEAR? NONE. BUT PEOPLE/PROS STILL PLAY IT. WHY? BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE, SHOWCASE THEIR SKILLS, & WIN BECAUSE THEY JUST SIMPLY LIKE TO DO IT.
 
I read that "Titanfall" won game of the year at E3...

So I went back and looked at the gameplay vid and I just don't see it. Maybe it's my taste in games. It's ok I guess.

But from what I see Destiny > Titanfall so far atleast.

Only games that were playable were eligible for awards; so MGS V, The Division, Witcher 3 etc. were not eligible.

Oh ok. That explains everything. :lol: because Titanfall doesn't look next gen at all to me. Just another 360 shooter.
