What games are you interested in? I think there might be MORE than just 2 or 3 that you may want. Titles you might have overlooked include

isc Based Games:

Tier 0

1. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Please buy this game, as opposed to renting it. I think its at a bargain price at most places. Its probably twice as much to buy it than it is to rent it. Its well worth every penny, and you'll be supporting the developers.

2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots- There are no words, just absolute awesome.

3. Little Big Planet- It may not be your cup of tea, but it is the perfect multiplayer game with friends. The moment you get it and play with your buddies, you will not stop laughing. Plus the levels are constantly updated, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNPBdKQBYHg. I believe the game might be dirt cheap now at retail.

4. Valkyria Chronicles - As Gaf says "Genre Defining Gameplay meets Art"

Tier 1

1. Resistance 1 / 2 - This is a very iffy reccomendation, you'll end up falling for atleast one of the games. I'll say that much. Also, if you want to play co-op make sure to start a thread, Jo21, Makingmusic and some of us will join up with 8 player co-op R2 :D.

2. Demon's Soul - this game is absolutely fucking hard, but its pretty much the Japanese Oblivion, only.... BETTER.


3. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Third Person Action Adventure games are a rare breed, this game does it all, beautiful graphics, great story, RPG leveling up system. Its definetely worth buying to support the devs. Its also dirt cheap.


4. naruto: Ultimate Storm - Best looking Anime fighter? Check.


Here is a list of games off the Store you should definetely download. I highly suggest sharing an account with someone because you can than download multiple games and share. EVERY GAME I am listing is ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I am VERY UPSET with the community, for not once mentioning Pixel Junk Eden, Wipeout HD, or Ragdoll Kung Fu. I'll expand upon why I think each game is worth your time:

Tier 0

1. Pixel Junk Eden- This game is living, breathing, art. Thats all I can say. MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BUY THIS GAME.

2. WARHAWK!!!!222!!! - probably the best third person multiplayer, all scale, shooter I have played this gen. This game has a great online community, that is very consistent with it. Its a little pricey at 29.99, but its very much worth it if you are looking for a new multiplayer game.

3. RAGDOLL Kung Fu - This game is like Brawl, only it has better graphics. IT IS 9.99. It does not have online due to the technicalities of its physics engine, but if you have friends over, this will be the best 9.99 you ever spent.


4. FAT Princess- 32 Player. Multi Class. Multiplayer. Mayhem. This is in beta stages right now, keep an eye out for a key.


4. Wipeout HD - I am really disappointed no one mentioned this. This game has absolutely everything going for it. Beautiful graphics, insane speeds, amazing techno soundtrack, and its made by Sony Liverpool to boot! This is penultimate online PS3 futuristic racer.



Tier 1:
1. Super Stardust HD- Fast, frenic, online shooter in the vein of Geometry Wars but slightly better IMO.

2. FLOW / FLOWer- Read about Eden :).

3. Everyday Shooter- If you like quirky, beautiful, action shooters with amazing graphics and old school gameplay, this is definetely the one for you.

4. Ratchet: Quest for Booty - This requires zero explanation, if you ilke R&C, you will like this.

Tier 2

1. Pixel Junk Monsters- Tower Defense? If thats your thing, pick this up.

2. The Last Guy - Amazing arcade like gameplay, over the top, zombie game.


Worth getting, but not exclusive-

1. Burnout Paradise- its a psn exclusive. So no more discs :D.

The games I want are Uncharted, Uncharted 2 and inFamous. I don't really want to be negative about the PS3 in this thread, but I might as well list my reasons for not wanting the games you suggested.

MGS 4 - I hate it to death. To me it's ruined the entire MGS mythos and this may well be my most hated game ever.

LittleBigPlanet - Nothing I'm interested in at all. I think the platforming is far too floaty and ruins the very basics of the platforming, and thus ruins the value of the game for me.

Valkyria Chronicles - Possible buy, but hardly a reason for me to get the console.

Resistance - From what I've seen/heard, the first one seemed more my style than the second one. But I absolutely despise FPSs on console, so it'd be a no-go regardless.

Demon's Soul - I've heard about this game, but not much what it actually is about or what kind of game it is. Might check it out sometime if I actually get a PS3.

R&C Future - Ratchet and Clank aren't games I've been particularly interested in, and when I get into a franchise I want to play it from the very beginning, and playing all the PS2-games would be kind of a hassle. I'm just not sure it's worth it, for me.

Naruto: UNS - Best looking, indeed. But that's about all it is. One-button-battling isn't very appealing, mostly I just think this looks beautiful but has almost no substance.

Pixel Junk Eden - No idea what this is. Except I think it's a PSN game, right? I'm not going to buy the console for PSN-games, but I might pick the promising ones up when I get the console.

Warhawk - What genre is this? Don't know much about it.

Ragdoll Kung-Fu - I have Brawl. I don't really want a knockoff. I've seen people say Ragdoll Kung-Fu is more fun, but trust me... There's no way I'll find it more fun than Brawl. I guarantee this.

Fat Princess - Doesn't interest me much from what I've seen, but I might keep an eye on it once it gets released.

Wipeout HD - Possibly. This was PSN too, right?

Super Stardust HD - No idea what this is.

Flower - Don't really know what this is, either, but I've heard people mention it.

Everyday Shooter - Never heard of it.

Ratchet: Quest for Booty - Same reasons as R&C Future.

Pixel Junk Monsters - That's interesting, but I think I'll play WC3 for Tower Defense.

The Last Guy - Haven't really heard of this either.

Burnout Paradise - Already have this on the 360. My brother is a huge racing game fan, so he got it when I bought my 360.

Guys there a ton of games to play. Read the above post and this-
THE FUTURE

Tier 0:

1. God of War 3

2. Uncharted 2

3. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

4. Heavy Rain

5. Infamous

6. Secret PS3 game :lol:



Tier 1:

1. Quantum Theory- From Tecmo, this is a Gears of War, meets Devil May Cry title. Its shaping up to look mighty sexy.





Future Ports:

Tales of Vesperia - More cutscenes, a tie into the anime, more story points, twice as long script writing. If this doesn't scream superior port, I don't know what does.

ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma: They are fixing all the broken issues with the first game, adding co-op, and improving the graphics. If you liked it on 360, this is the definitive version.

As for this...

God of War 3 - Judging from God of War 1 & 2 I think this is a severely overrated franchise. Thankfully, God of War 3 looks to be upping the ante. It'll never be a reason to get the console for me, but if I get a PS3, getting this game is pretty likely.

Uncharted 2 - As I said in my previous post, this is one of the games that makes me want the console.

Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time - Same as I said with the other Ratchet games.

Heavy Rain - From what I've seen, this is pretty much "Quick Time Events: The Game", and I can't say I'm a fan of the graphics either. They look good from a technical standpoint, but I think they look too ... plastic? Basically.

InFamous - As I said in my previous post, this is one of the games that makes me want the console.

Secret PS3 game - Well this doesn't help convince me much :p

Quantum Theory - Doesn't interest me in the slightest. I'll keep an eye on it, but I severely doubt it'll hold a candle to Gears of War.

Tales of Vesperia - It'll take yet another year after the US release for it to get to EU anyway, and I'll be getting the 360-version before then. Not gonna get an enhanced version of the same game, sorry.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - I'm fine with Ninja Gaiden 2, not gonna get an enhanced version, sorry.




isc Based Games:

Tier 0

1. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Please buy this game, as opposed to renting it. I think its at a bargain price at most places. Its probably twice as much to buy it than it is to rent it. Its well worth every penny, and you'll be supporting the developers. Yea, I want this baby.

2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots- There are no words, just absolute awesome. I don't really like MGS that much.

3. Little Big Planet- It may not be your cup of tea, but it is the perfect multiplayer game with friends. The moment you get it and play with your buddies, you will not stop laughing. Plus the levels are constantly updated, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNPBdKQBYHg. I believe the game might be dirt cheap now at retail. This seems like 50/50

4. Valkyria Chronicles - As Gaf says "Genre Defining Gameplay meets Art" The second game. I even bought it already since I saw it sealed new for 20€

Tier 1

1. Resistance 1 / 2 - This is a very iffy reccomendation, you'll end up falling for atleast one of the games. I'll say that much. Also, if you want to play co-op make sure to start a thread, Jo21, Makingmusic and some of us will join up with 8 player co-op R2 :D. I dislike playing FPS's on consoles besides the Wii

2. Demon's Soul - this game is absolutely fucking hard, but its pretty much the Japanese Oblivion, only.... BETTER. I'll have to check this out.


3. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Third Person Action Adventure games are a rare breed, this game does it all, beautiful graphics, great story, RPG leveling up system. Its definetely worth buying to support the devs. Its also dirt cheap. Just burrowed my friends R&C: Size Matters, will see how that is


4. naruto: Ultimate Storm - Best looking Anime fighter? Check. nah

4. FAT Princess- 32 Player. Multi Class. Multiplayer. Mayhem. This is in beta stages right now, keep an eye out for a key. huh, don't know really


4. Wipeout HD - I am really disappointed no one mentioned this. This game has absolutely everything going for it. Beautiful graphics, insane speeds, amazing techno soundtrack, and its made by Sony Liverpool to boot! This is penultimate online PS3 futuristic racer. Maybe... it is similar to F-Zero and that is pretty good.

THE FUTURE

Tier 0:

1. God of War 3 Never got into GoW 1/2

2. Uncharted 2 Well, Uncharted 1 is the reason I want a PS3...

3. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time see above post

4. Heavy Rain not sure what this is even about

5. Infamous The third exclusive I want

6. Secret PS3 game :lol: lol indeed



Tier 1:

1. Quantum Theory- From Tecmo, this is a Gears of War, meets Devil May Cry title. Its shaping up to look mighty sexy. Sounds ok, but not something I'd buy a console for





Future Ports:

Tales of Vesperia - More cutscenes, a tie into the anime, more story points, twice as long script writing. If this doesn't scream superior port, I don't know what does. I guess I'd get this eventually since I like RPG's.

ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma: They are fixing all the broken issues with the first game, adding co-op, and improving the graphics. If you liked it on 360, this is the definitive version. See Quantum Theory

 

 



"And yet, I've realized that maybe living a "decent" life means you won't ever have a "good" life."

 

2012 i think.

Who would'nt, but thats asking alot seen as PS3 has Blu-ray, Wifi as standard. Both bonus features that 360 does't have as standard.



Just wait like I did with PS2. I bought a new slim when it hit $100 and tons of great games for $10 or less.
Ive yet to buy an HD console but I would end up getting a PS3 for the simple reason that its getting the definitive versions of certain multiplats. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia to name a few. A $200 PS3 wont come around till next generation starts though so we both have a long wait.



Guys don't feed the troll.
I wonder how soon I'd get banned if i started thread on Wii forums asking when it price drops to 50$ becouse I can't pay more for SD only machine.

360 went really cheap with no Wi-Fi since even the Wii has it so I dont think thats worth mentioning. Just the crazy specs inside the PS3 though is the reason $200 isnt coming for a long time.

 

@Zlejedi

Ha! "feed the troll"

The reason Majin wont get banned is because because he didnt make his post sound like a stupid angry fanboy post. Its legit and doesnt really doesnt say anything in a tone that could come off as bullshit and flame like most fanboy would.

It all depends on the tone of the thread.
