Topic: Your latest PS3 Purchase

So after really not liking Remember Me for the first few hours, it’s really grown on me to be fair. On top of the fantastic art design and score, the combat is actually pretty decent. I’ve never been one for Freeform (Arkham) combat as it always seemed a bit too simple but this adds to the formula with combo-building, where you embed specific combat aids within the combo as you choose and then using and executing the right combo at the right time can be pivotal… at least on the harder difficulty anyway.

A real nice surprise this.

@colonelkilgore for a game with that name I always struggle to remember what it was called ‘less someone mentions it to me.
It’s cool it turned out to be good. Did look interesting when I first saw it on release week.
Yeah man same. Arkham games were fine back in the day but after a while I couldn’t come back to them both for what you mentioned and the lack of decent gameplay feedback loop. I’m actually ok with simple combat if it means at least some potential depth but Arkham’s specific system of magnetizing you to your nearest foe plus all the scripted combos absolutely saws the games chance for any kind of depth.

Glad you found the game surprisingly fun now uhhh… what was it called? Can’t Remember, hope you help Me.

@Yousef- 🤣 yeah that title is amusingly unmemorable

As I mentioned on a separate thread i picked up a couple of second hand ps3 games this morning at my local CeX (Dragon Age Origins and Prince of Persia). Well when looking a bit deeper into the 7th gen Prince of Persia games I found out about The Forgotten Sands too, so just ordered myself a copy.

@colonelkilgore I wonder who will get to their copy of Dragon Age: Origins first. I originally played it on Xbox, but bought it for the PS3 several months ago and don't know when I'll actually play it.

@KilloWertz oh I’d put money on it being you mate… I don’t know if I’ll ever get to replay it tbh (I originally played it on 360 too).

@colonelkilgore forgotten sands is another I’ve… forgotten about (yeah I’m really firing in all cylinders), I believe I have it via backwards compatibility on Xbox.

I’d imagine you’re a big fan of the Amnesia games @Yousef- 😉

Finally gotten around to buying The Force Unleashed 2 after platinuming the first game back in January. From what I can tell, it should be easier.

@colonelkilgore huh, touché!

@colonelkilgore I'm guessing it was pretty cheap then. I managed to get a pretty good used copy of the Ultimate Edition for a reasonable price ($25), but I've had it for a year now. We'll see.

@KilloWertz yeah it was around £3 I think, I just picked it up for the collection more than anything, I might end up playing it one day though.

@colonelkilgore sounds about right. That’s what most 360 games are like now. I’ve accumulated more games than I care to admit because of that.

@Yousef- I made a New Year’s resolution to finish off my ps3 backlog this year and buy no further 7th gen games… while I’m doing pretty good on the former, I’ve failed at the latter pretty consistently.

@colonelkilgore this… also sounds about right. First part at least seems doable. I know I tend to finish mine which reminds, I’ll definitely need a bigger gaming resolution for next year… especially something like a genre I haven’t touched in ages like RPGs.

@colonelkilgore I’m a little late (on account of a rather busy week) but glad to hear that Remember Me is clicking for you. It’s one that I found to be under appreciated. It’s not the best game ever, or anything like that, but it’s got some nice ideas and a cool premise. We won’t hold our breath for Remember Me 2 though.

Double resolution-fail today as I’ve added two more ps3 games to the backlog - Alice: Madness Returns & Bionic Commando.

@colonelkilgore both good games. Well worth the purchase (res fail aside),

@Yousef- glad they’re both good but… buying these two actually tilts the scale towards it now being unlikely that I’ll be able to get through my ps3 backlog before the end of the year 😅

@colonelkilgore hey, look at the bright side, least you’ve not succumbed to the shmup echelon.
