I probably say this every year but I really wanna clear my PS3 backlog this year. I say clear… finish (& preferably platinum) the remaining games that are sat on the shelves and keeping me from unhooking the old fella. There is probably around 15 games that fit this description, so if I can squeeze in 1 per month, I’ll get pretty close at least.
Pulled this over from the resolutions thread, and was curious about how close you’ll get. I think you’ve probably played the vast majority of what you set out to do so far, but the list kind of expanded, if I’m recollecting the year correctly. 😅
Probably aren’t going to get to disconnect the ol’ guy yet, huh? Maybe 2026?
But seriously, I have been impressed with your dedication to the PS3 throughout the year. Especially with so many great games constantly being added for this generation. Do you plan to stay committed to the PS3 or are you going to take a break to pursue anything on the later gen consoles anytime soon?
Pulled this over from the PS3 thread as don’t want to derail that with this personal request for advice from yourself Sol… and anyone else willing to put their two-peneths in.
So yeah, while I decided to clear my PS3 backlog this year… it was more a thing of clearing the games within my ps3 backlog that I actually wanted to play than clearing absolutely everything. There was still going to be some that I was willing to have remain as part of my physical collection only. Well as the year went on, I ended up deciding to play a fair few of them too… all the while buying at least 10-15 further ps3 games during the year. So by the close of 2024, I’ll have actually cleared between 25-30 ps3 games (far more than I initially intended).
Now to where I’d appreciate peoples thoughts &/or advice. By the end of the year I’ll be on #42 ps3 plats. Now if y’all know anything about me… I’m super-OCD about my trophy list and I love a trophy milestone. So, with that in mind, together with a few remaining ps3 games I already intend on playing after 2024, I’m thinking it’d be rude not to get to #50 ps3 plats and calling it a day there. So if I include the remaining ps3 games in my backlog after 2024, I’d love some help whittling them down to the final 8 games that I’ll play on the system. I’ll also include some info about where I currently consider them in my list of priorities:
1.Dead Space 2 - non-negotiable: fully intend on playing this one and am looking at it to be my 250th platinum (if I’m up to the task) 2.Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - non-negotiable: fully intend on playing this and intend on this being my 50th ps3 platinum (if I’m up to the task #2) 3.Just Cause 2 - non-negotiable: although I’ve done two full playthroughs previously (on an old profile) it’s getting played again and plat’d, though probably not a milestone 4.Warhammer 40k: Space Marine - would be non-negotiable but it’s gonna be a very convoluted process of me buying PSN credit in US dollars, creating a US PSN account, buying the game on the US PS3 PSN store, as the only way to access the online these days is via this method. So, if all that actually pans-out without any issues, this one will be played. I have a feeling that I will experience issues though 5.Final Fantasy XII-2 - not non-negotiable but I am real close to the Final Fantasy XIII plat and would quite like the set 6.Lightning Returns - see above 7.Dragon Age: Origins - would like to play it again I guess (played it originally on 360) 8.Dragon Age 2 - less keen on this one but if I end up going for Origins, I’ll probably be compelled to play this too 9.Deadly Premonition: Directors Cut - curious about this one but not totally convinced 10.Dark Void - unlikely that this one will make the cut if I’m honest 11.Bionic Commando - always fancied playing it but never did 12.Splinter Cell - I’ve only played Blacklist, which I really liked, so keen on this for sure. Trouble is, I only have 8 slots and if I play this, I’ll be playing the other two too 13.Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow - see above 14.Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - see above 15.Tomb Raider: Legend - was quite keen on these but might just end up playing the remastered trilogies on ps4/ps5 now 16.Tomb Raider: Anniversary - see above 17.Tomb Raider: Underworld - see above 18.Fallout 3 - played New Vegas this year and it reminded me how much I used to love the series. So it did bring 3 back into my consideration… meant to be an absolute pig to plat though, due to the many bugs… but also the game just breaking on ps3 at a certain point and being no longer playable 19.Sleeping Dogs - already played this on ps4… but I did love it, so could be open to another playthrough 20.Game of Thrones - the rpg, not the telltale 21.The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - not really considering this one tbh 22.The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - not really considering this one tbh 23.Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood - not really considering this one tbh 24.Call of Juarez: The Cartel - not really considering this one tbh
Tldr - I’d appreciate any help in refining the above 24 ps3 games into 8, thanks 😉
