Topic: Essential PS3 Games for a Newbie?

@Fizza Yeah, as I recall we've had similar issues in the past but honestly I would recommend trying it again, maybe you'll have more luck.
Maybe try the Devil May Cry series and Resident Evil.
If you like fighting games you could give Blazblue a shot and possibly Marvel Vs Capcom, for no other reason but the fact Phoenix Wright can fight Deadpool. (I'm weird, I know.)

Oh.

My.

God.

I've wanted to play Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 for so....SO long. I always just assumed it was PS4/Vita exclusive since I had never seen a PS3 version but lo and behold....HERE IT IS.

You mean to tell me I can finally play the fighting game character I've adored since the moment I first saw him, and whose series I've absolutely fallen in love with ever since?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

@Fizza Funny, 'cause I had I had it the other way around, it's probably going to be my next PS3 purchase.
Off topic: I really hope if the rumours about a Direct next week are true, I really want to see AJ, DD and SoJ combined into a trilogy and ported to current gen consoles (but mostly the Switch.)

@Fizza Hey, buddy. Welcome to the Push Square forums, by the way!

Regarding your diving into the sea of PS3 goodies, I’ll direct you to a forum mega-thread we did a few years where the community ranked all 1441 PS3 games in order of worst to best. It’s a huge thread with tons and tons of discussion, but you can jump straight to the results here:

Hi, you can check my PS3 games collection.
Usually I picked very unusual or underrated games so I think you will find some interesting games.
