Topic: What PS3 game(s) are you currently playing?

Final Fantasy XIII

Never finished it back in the day because I got stuck on an area late in the game, and this was before YouTube was what YouTube is today, so I gave up on it unfortunately. It's always been a regret of mine as I've never thought of it as the black sheep of the series like it is considered to be (even by Square Enix themselves), so now that I have a PS3 again, I am finally changing that.

@KilloWertz I finished and enjoyed FFXIII, it’s different from its predecessors, but was probably a little ahead of it’s time, considering the more recent entries and RPGs in general.

But I was like you with the second game — played and enjoyed it up to somewhere in the middle and just fell off for some reason. I think it was because the PS4 came out and I just started ignoring my PS3. I’ve always regretted not finishing the second game and never getting to Lightning Returns. If the trilogy ever comes to PS+ Premium, I might consider playing it. However I still have yet to play FFXV and FFXVI is around the corner too, so I think those will take priority.

@KilloWertz “ like it is considered to be (even by Square Enix themselves) “

when did square say this , you got a link ?

@Th3solution That makes sense if it was because the PS4 came out. Personally I would have finished a game if I was in the middle of playing it and enjoying it, but I still can't fault that given Sony's lack of backwards compatibility until the PS5. I have a feeling you would have been more likely to finish it if you could have taken it over to the PS4 like I did when I was replaying one of the Uncharted games and finished it on the PS5.

Final Fantasy XIII is definitely far from perfect, but despite it being insanely repetitive, I still enjoy playing it. It has several characters, including Lightning, that are pretty solid characters. I could do without Hope, but that's about it. Maybe I'll finally get passed the open world side quest part of it near the end.

@nomither6 They've never said it, but their treatment of the game (and technically the FFXIII series) speaks for itself. Final Fantasy XIII is the only Final Fantasy game after Final Fantasy VII that doesn't have a PS4 version, and there's pretty much no chance of it ever happening now that we are in another generation.

I know it wasn't considered great months after release once people finished it, and the sequels didn't help, but it's still crazy that I had to have a PS3 still to play this game. You can play a ton of them on PS4, with roughly half of them being from the PS1 and PS2 eras, but not one that was released on the PS3.

The Darkness. This game holds up extremely well. Shame we’ll never see a PS5 remaster.

Played a bit of Genji: Days of the Blade. The game is fun, but definitely a bit clunky. The graphics hold up pretty well for a PS3 launch game though.

i dug out couple of my Playstation 3 games from my main videogame storage tub and got out God of War Saga Collection which i was thinking about getting back into playing God of War 1 along with God of War II and III before i play God of War 4 for my Playstation 4

@XandertheWise nice dude, I’ve recently finished playing through all the old Greek saga… they hold up pretty well fair play.

God of War 1 while it is old, it has a good story but has too much of puzzles to do such as the cranks to move walls around to get doors or hallway paths to open up.

the giant armored bull boss was sort of a pain to do last night but go through it. Didnt like how i had to move the analog stick buttons clockwise or counter clockwise to wrap the chain blades around its neck area or whatever

Having hooked the PS3 the other day I was not only surprised by just how many games i still had, but by a sealed copy of the MGS Collection I found. Will be diving into Snake Eater later this evening.

@RogerRoger

I actually forgotten I'd even bought it!

Will finish watching my movie and dive in.

Also got a copy of Lollipop Chainsaw and Deadly Premonition that I forgotten I'd bought as well! 😂

Must be losing my marbles in my old age!

@RogerRoger

True. Most I remember buying of course, but there has been a few nice surprises.

Pleased my collector's editions of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition and Dark Souls 2 are in good condition. Will definitely fire up Demon's Souls again.

new games on the ps3 play list are

Alpha protocol
la noire
chronicles of riddick

I think i spent £2 on the lot

I thought I had retired my PS3 (...for the 2nd time) a few months ago but ended up buying Metal Gear Rising this month. I never played it and decided I need the platinum in my MGS trophies, after finally finishing MGS5.

@RogerRoger i’ve always had a gut feeling that i’d love sonic 06 , because i love the 3D sonic games and grew up with them on the gamecube . 06 gives me adventure 3 vibes , and i absolutely dig the design and theme of the game , plus multiple playable characters besides sonic ?? hell yeah . i adore the ambition the game had and i’ve been meaning for years to order 06 off amazon or something , but i’m just so caught up in the present and current gen ; factor in how buggy/unfinished the game is …i guess i just really never cared enough ? and i don’t think there’s trophies for 06 on ps3 either .

i have unleashed for both wii and ps3 , i got the HD version eventually and damn was it a next gen experience at the time , i was blown away . the graphics , speed , extra content and hub worlds had me hooked . i beat the wii version once and never looked back , the HD version i beat multiple times. i’m still playing frontiers as well . i don’t think i’ve asked you but , how’s frontiers for you ?? what’s your thoughts about it ? i haven’t beat it yet but i don’t mind spoilers .

@RogerRoger which topic was your review in ? i’d really like to read it . as for me , i’m still somewhat in the earlier parts of the game , i’ve been hooked on overwatch 2 , and gotham knights is on sale so i’m currently downloading that as well ; i gotta give WB a chance since i loved arkham origins so much , i just needed the price to be more justifiable due to shortcoming news, and $40 for a ps5 game is a steal . but from what i’ve played of frontiers so far , it’s just passable to me , it’s better than anything they’ve put out in a decade so i’m grateful for that ; and yeah it’s definitely not gonna top unleashed for me either .

speaking of unleashed , on my old PSN account i platinumed it , it was thanks to the hotdog mission (and youtube) that i was able to beat eggmanland and it became one of my favorite levels in the game . once you learn just how strong the shortcuts are in eggmanland and once you memorize it , it becomes significantly shorter and it’s a breeze . you can also take multiple hits and still get an S rank . just like you said about 06, you just have to learn how to play. if Playstation would get it together with their backwards compatibility, i’d still do speed-runs and replay it . xbox players are so lucky to have backwards compatibility with enhancements and no streaming needed .

@RogerRoger great review , as a matter of fact your review honestly made me excited for the game again ironically , lol !😂 i’d reckon i’d take my time with frontiers since it’s a refreshing miracle and god knows when the next sonic game will be anyway right ? it’s not like they release every 1-2 years anymore ; seems like i’m in for a treat with frontiers so i’m in no rush , but i’ll be sure to let you know my concluding thoughts , i can’t forget about the only guy with good tastes on this site ! 😂

as for gotham knights if you enjoyed it i know i will . can’t wait to let u know my thoughts about both !

This thread is over 10 years old. I find it interesting to go back and see what people were playing 10 years ago.

Somewhat inspired by @nessisonett… and the fact that I quite liked the look of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga earlier this year, I’m finally starting my Lego gaming adventure today, with my first ever game in the series being Lego Lord of the Rings. Not sure if they’ll be my cup of tea… but I love Tolkien so, here goes…
