To cut the crap, I'm getting a PS3 this holiday season, and I was just wondering what you all thought were god games. I already have a PC, so basically I won't be buying any game that's availible on PC and on PS3 unless a) it's not released on PC yet, or b) it's significanty better on PS3 than on PC.
So, I lookd around (at the getting started with PS3, platform awards for 2009, etc.), and I came down to a list of possibles based on genre, reviews, videos, etc, as follows:
-Metal Gear Solid 4, it seems like it should be awesome, only probelm is that I heard that you need to play the first 3 MGS games to understand a lot of MGS4, so I was thinking I might hold off on it until I get around to buying the first 3 MGS games
-Uncharted 2, seems awesome, mmix of platforming as wel as shooting, seems like a little bit of everything, which I like. This is probably the only one that's I know I will be buying for sure (unles somebody can dissuade me from doing so).
-Assassin's Creed 2, I have playd a bit of Assassin's Creed 1, it was fun and cool at first, got boring quick though. However, the reviews for AC2 seem really good, so perhaps I should give AC2 a try?
-Killzone 2, seems to be the best PS3 exclusive shooter to date, I'm also intrigued by the multiple game modes in one game thing, and the reviews for it have been very good, so I might pick it up to satisfy my shooter cravings.
-Modern Warfare 2, The other choice instead of Killzone 2. I liked COD4 a lot on PC, and I'm probably gonna pick it up for either PC or PS3. Only problem is hackers+no dedis on PC, but I do prefer the keyboard+mouse combo over a gamepad. I'm also not a fan of some of the kill sreak awards (read: Nuke), but otherwise, it looks like it'd be a decent MP shooter. So I'm not sure whether I should get this for PC, PS3, or not at all.
-Infamous, looks like a cool action-adventure with long gameplay (the review said 30 hours on first playthrough?), also, the guy controls electricity, how isn't that badass? This is pretty much competing with AC2 for the spot of Action-Adventure.
Basically, to sum it up:
-I'm 95% sure I'm buying Uncharted 2
-I'm getting either Killzone 2 or MW2, leaning towards KZ2
-I'm geting either Infamous or AC2, leaning towards AC2
-The wild card is MGS4, it would almost be a surefire buy if it weren't for the fact that I don't want to play through without background on the MGS storyline
Also, I'm not interested in RPG games. As 1) I find them boring, and 2), I've played a bunch on PC already (notably Fallout 3 and DA:O). So I'm sticking with the Action-Adventure and Shooter Genres. Normally I'd include a driving/racing genre, but I'm realy unimpressed with the offerings this year (Dirt 2 doesn't look too good, I've played NFS: Shift and it isn't that good), I'll porbably pick up Gran Turismo 5 when it comes out next year though.
Any opinions on which to buy?
