Recently bought a PS3, my thoughts.

I recently bought a PS3 with 3 games Killzone2, GOW3 and Uncharted2.

I also own a good PC gaming rig and an XBOX360. Well, overall I like PS3. i'm still not used to its gamepad and prefer XBOX's gamepad more, it just doesn't feel comfortable like XBOX, but the main reason for buying a console is how it's games are in terms of quality.

I begin with Killzone2, It's just outright amazing, I couldn't expect it to be so good. It's graphics are excellent, you can not still watch a console game up close like PC and if you do it looks blurry and low res, but if you take your distance from the HDTV, it's amazing. Gameplay is really satisfying too.

Now onto uncharted2, I was disappointed, mainly because it was praised for it's graphics, it's not good atl all in terms of graphics, the lightning is cheap, low res textures are everywhere, only facial animations are good and those are cutscenes, might as well be pre-rendered movies. gameplay here is just like a polished tomb raider game, which is not so much. This game getting a graphics award on all platforms is just not right.

GOW3, the graphics and gamplay are superb, very excellent. It's just what it's advertised to be.

I intend to buy the following games also: heavy rain, resistance2 and MGS4.

Do you guys have any suggestion on what games i should try? Also your input my on my ramblings is quite welcome :D

Sweet Blog. Try the Recommendations Thread.

Thanks friend, I will. I'm just interested in exclusive games of PS3, because I have nearly all games on my PC, if console exclusive on 360 and now I'm on a hunt for good PS3 exclusives :D I also like the people's input on what I have said.

I dont really recommend Resistance 2. Some good games are: Little Big Planet, Demons Souls, InFamous, Ratchet and Clank games.

Thanks friend, I will consider it.

MGS4 for sure, still one of my favorite games ever and I didnt even play the first three. Congrats on your purchase and have fun!AdamPA1006

Yeah, besides heavy rain that's one priority for sure.

bought ps3 end of july...glad i did but upcoming convinced me to get it.hopefully no more delays...just ordered midnight club los angeles looks like a keeper ...played uc2 and gow3 demos...didnt convince me to buy game so ill wait on those...not so impressive...my next purchases will be between red dead redemption,two worlds 2,dirt 2,..etc

Defo some ratchen and clank games, :')

I agree on Uncharted 2, I know everyone loves it but I still feel like it's a Tomb Raider ripoff with Gears combat. Since you already have a PC: -Heavy Rain -Metal Gear Solid 4 -Valkyria Chronicles -Ratchet & Clank (Crack in Time is better, but the first isn't bad if you find it cheaper) On PSN you can't go wrong with Shatter (if you don't already own it on PC), Wipeout HD, and any of the Pixeljunk games. Just know that Eden is a bit weird. But if you like weird, Flower and especially Noby Noby Boy are must haves.DJ_Lae

Yeah, I agree with you and nice suggestions, much obliged. Also loved those PSN recommendations too.

firefluff3

Yeah, ratchet & clank, everybody seems to recommend it :D

If you're a fan of baseball, MLB 10 the Show is a must have. With that said, congrats on the purchase and I completely understand your comment regarding the 360/PS3 controller. I own both and prefer the 360 controller for shooters mainly. Also, Iheard Gamestop sells add on "PS3 trigger buttons" for fairly cheap. Everytime I go to Gamestop, I forget to ask, but I will be there Tuesday for Reach.. so hopefully I will remember.

TS, good choice on your first batch of games. i some what agree with you on uncharted 2. i was not blown away by the graphics as much as some peoplewere. the art style is really cool in places and i think it looks great over all but not the end all be all some think it is. Still its a fun game with great characters and dialoge. C.Black did a fantastic job as Chloe. You might want to rent resistence 2. i found it a bit meh. not bad but it did not impress me at all in any way. games to get would be MGS4,LBP,Valkaria chronicals maybe infamousjust to name a few. as far as PSN i would recommend pixel junk shooter for sure. fun game with a cool graphical style. You will get used to the controller.i wish sony would have made the handles on it a little longer and texture them a bit for grip. Any way have fun.

You haven't truly experienced the PS3 if you haven't beaten Demon's Souls at least once. Also inFamous and Valkyria Chronicles are pretty excellent.

why do people care about graphics? the game can look as real as it can be but if its not fun or engaging then why bother, just my imo

MGS4,LBP,Valkaria chronicals and pixel junk on PSN, got it, thanks.

Valkyria Chronicles, I was not even heard of it and everbody recommends it, guess I should investigate, hmm. Demon's souls, yeah, it will be on my list of purchase.

Hey man...

You really shouldn't say things like this. It's how people get mad at you when they feel suckered into purchases. The power of suggestion should be respected, because some folk can't think for themselves. That game is really for fans of the genre only, it's rather hardcore. Your other two are good, though. Anyone can pick-up play "InFAMOUS" at least for a little while, and "Valkyria" is really accessible too, ofr it's involvement... But "Demon's Souls" has brought seasoned gamers to tears...

Man, I appreciate your concern and all, but a game being hard is not a con in my book.

For exclusives (since thats what it sounds like you are looking for) I would recommend ModNation Racers & inFamous.

And come November there is of course GT5 :D

I have played too many racing games, but GT5 will be a purchase if I find it really groundbreaking.

This will get locked soon for asking of recommending a game.... Plus the fact its mostly blog material...

I'd say get Demon Souls if the theme of he game even remotely interests you. The first few levels are tough and a bit boring but soon enough you can start upgrading your weapons armor skills etc and it's a blast. On Uncharted 2 I personally found it to be a great game, the game was just smooth in platforming, puzzles and combat, alot of environment variety, and while the graphics are a bit less in some area's overall I found it to be quite good looking. The second half of the game is better by the way IMO, the whole museum / jungle thing at the start is kinda boring compared to the rest of the game. UC2 also has decent replay value. Gran Turismo 5 is definately worth waiting for, it'll be good. MGS4 is awesome, though it's story heavy so be prepared for that. Heavy rain is pretty god for one or two playthroughs, ittle big planet and Monation Racers can be fun in offline multiplayer. Ah I could go on just google a bit for PS3 exclusives list that is a bit up to date and you should get a good idea of what's out there. Enjoy your p3 :D

Wait a minute,did you just have a dig at UNCHARTED 2's graphics?.Seriously that game has the best graphics as at now,argue all you want but its the fact

I dont really recommend Resistance 2. Some good games are: Little Big Planet...

Thanks for the advice, demon souls will be a purchase for sure.

i dont see how u can praise gow3's graphics and think uncharted 2's isnt good :S they are pretty much the same if not graeter for unchartedcampzor

You know GOW3 graphically outshines every single game in it's genre. However, uncharted2 is way behind its competition. As I said I'm so pissed off because it got the best graphics award from Gamespot on all platforms.

MGS4 for sure, still one of my favorite games ever and I didnt even play the first three. Congrats on your purchase and have fun!AdamPA1006

I just finished red dead redemption, get that as fast as you can, im still playing it now for all the extras. Ratchet and clank:A crank in time is brilliant, Infamous is a must have and buy gt5 when it releases, if you have some friends with ps3's then get scott pilgrim on psn, it is very fun multiplayer, grats on your purchase, I love my ps3

I recently bought Resistance 2 for £5 and thought it was a really good game. The graphics are dated but the gameplay was really fun! Some of the guns are amazing and I had fun whilst playing it. I even started a new campaign as soon as I finished it the first time round. Online isnt that great though. For a very cheap game I would defo try it out. If you dont like it then at least you havent wasted that much money. The zombie sections with the 'ripper' gun are worth playing for sure!

low res textures are everywhere,moh_sakhaii

Make sure you get Wipeout HD, its incredible!

Who-ever said "Screw That" to the LBP suggestion, I say BIG UPS!!! That game suuuuuuuucks. And as far as liking "Uncharted" - Taste is a beautiful thing... Anyone who says you're crazy for not liking a game is self-centered and ignorant. I'll take "Underworld" over UC any day.

I personally despise Resistance, and I do not like Uncharted 2 at all (except multiplayer looks good). I would recommend you get Valkyria Chronicles. Its a very un-appreciated game and I think its the best game on the PS3. Also they are gonna announce Valkyria Chronicles 3 soon (VC2 is on PSP which is a must have).

True enough, but I am glad other gamers on these forums "suckered" me into getting Demon's Souls. I had a love/hate relationship with the game, but I definitely got my money's worth out of it. So really, I guess I owe a thank you to everyone on this board who got me interested in Demon's Souls. Great game. Now inFamous, on the other hand... wish I hadn't been "suckered". :P
