Maybe I should rent MGS4 and see how much it can just be played as a shooter...

There's a million ways to play MGS4 and running through the whole thing guns blazing is one of them. But as a TPS, it's nothing special.

I disagree with that 2nd stament. As for the first, you can only run and gun on low difficulty or after memorizing the levels. It's definitely the best game this gen, though.  The story will be 10 times better if you've at least played MGS1-3 and perhaps Portable Ops (I thought it had a nice storyline on its own and also adds a little to MGS4).

 



MGS4, Ratchet and Clank Future and VC




Shit, that's hard. Okay.

1) This would be where I recommend LittleBigPlanet, but you don't seem to like it, so Tools of Destruction.
2) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. If you like the first Uncharted, you'll probably love this. It has multiplayer!
3) I'm going to cheat and name four. Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
4) Heavy Rain. inFamous.

If God of War III releases this year, disregard any one of those games and buy it. It will pwn them all.

EDIT: I would recommend MGS4, but chances are, if you don't own it already, you don't want to.

And seriously look into LittleBigPlanet. It may look crap, and for the first half hour, it is crap, but it gets better, believe me. You could try renting first.

"As you all know, I am the first to recognise the gaming supremacy of the Xbox 360, as should you all."

After reading this, there was no reason to read any further.

It's bad enough that you equate a console with the highest hardware failure rate in gaming history as "supreme", but to insult our intelligence by claiming that we should agree with your ridiculous opinion is just absurd.

 

starcraft, you are NOT worthy of a PS3, you simply do not have the ability to appreciate what it is.

Instead of recommending games, I recommend you sell the PS3 to someone on this site who will actually enjoy it. Then you'll have some extra money tucked away so you can buy another 360 when yours FAILS(again?).

hah, too true...

I'm pretty sure he's supposed to get a PS3 because he bet that KZ2 wouldn't review well.

 



If you insist that multi plat games are better on 360, then why do you have assasins creed on PS3? Anyway, that game is not that good anyway.

1. Metal gear solid 4 since this is THE must have title. A challenging game for people who are good at gaming (real gamers start this game at medium settings, not easy)
2. Gran turismo 5 proloque. It's cheap and a beauty to look at. Offers more then most full games do and you''l get a chance to get your ass kicked online by me.
3. Siren, it's cheaper then ever right now and should give you a good scare.

These choices will also give you enough budget to purchase another few good PSN titles like flower for example.

Ok guys.

As you all know, I am the first to recognise the gaming supremacy of the Xbox 360, as should you all.  However, that does not for a moment mean that the PS3 and Wii don't have much to offer gaming wise this year, next year, and in years passed.  But as much as I have a solid, widespread knowledge of games coming for all platforms, I know less of the Wii and PS3's line-ups than I do the Xbox 360's.

Everyone knows what they can and cannot spend on games, and here is essentially my budget.  It is my hope that I will be able to afford to purchase THREE PS3 titles between now and the end of the year.

So what I would like from Sony fans now, is too help me pick those three titles.  I own Killzone 2, Uncharted and Assassin's Creed.  You may work on the assumption that I am already aware of most of the games for the PS3 that have come and gone, but can include them if you wish.

Given my situation (including my budget, location and games currently possessed), I want to know what three games you would buy based on the assumption that they must be out in PAL by the end of the year?

My general preference is for shooters with strong single-player (and local co-op) experiences, RPG's (particularly Western, but I like some JRPG's) and Saint's Row-like characteristics.

You get all of those on 360.

The PS3's strength is platformers, so I hope you like those

Quite a few shooters, but not as many as the 360.

Valkyria Chronicles
inFamous
Metal Gear Solid 4



4 ≈ One

Why / Why not:

Valkyria Chronicles: Tactical RPG with Shooter element, excellent story and fantastic art: GET IT! GET IT! GET IT!

Infamous: I personally hate sandbox game, but since you've listed Saint Row-ish game, this one is pretty good, be warn that while it might have replay value the game appears to only last around 10 hours, so if you're expecting 30-40 hrs GTA-ish game then you'll probably come off piss, rent and see if you like it first.

Heavy Rain: Its all but confirm late this year and looks very promising so far, as this is one of the reason you bought a PS3 I'd save some money for this, wait for the review though, the track record of the developer is not stellar and the game has waaaaay to many possible way of being bad considering its a relatively 'first' step into the genre and gameplay style.

Uncharted 2: The quality of the first game and Naught Dog's pedigree speak for themself, the sequal looks great, we've been promised 3 player co-op and there's also multiplayer-versus, but the meat of the game is the fantastic single player story which will not doubt deliver.

White Knight Chronicles: I'll admit, I'm hoping you get this game (if its release in PAL this year) so that I can game with you online :D, I'm getting this for this more for the online mode tbh and I'd love to have another playing partner, the gameplay feel more like a western game than a JRPG, probably feels like a 'lite mmo'

MGS4: Ok, you've heard all the good things about this from every sony fan/fanboy under the sun? Here's some criticism and why its currently on my shelf instead of in my PS3: The VERY VERY VERY annoying install.

MGS4 had some great action scene with fantastic eye-candy, not only are they fun to replay, but its just plain cool to show them to friends, the cut scene really are good (if cheesy) and combined with the gameplay are visually impressive, the only problem? Each chapter require you to re-install the game AGAIN which takes around 5 minute, worst, the current install over-write the previous one.

So if I want to load up the bike chase scene and skip and play the snow stage before starting a new game, I'll have to sit through 3 damn install that has me itching to throw the controller through the lcd.

I've heard the multiplayer is interesting but I bought the game for the single player and never touched it. I'd still buy in on retrospective but I have a kind budget and like collecting games.

Good luck on your purchase!
