@Porco oh absolutely, i’ve heard of several people that have went back to PS3 & played some hidden gems, myself included. it was such a great gen that a lot of people took for granted due to the FPS craze - and rightfully so to be honest, because that generation had all developers firing on all cylinders even fps were great
the modern AAA space (does it even still exist? 😂) doesn’t compare to the PS3! Because if it did, then indies wouldn’t be so strongly sought out today as a substitute
@11001100110zero i believe it’s a combination of comfort & fear. people stuck in their ways don’t want to hear how much better PC has become, they want to stay in their own beliefs that console is the better value and that PC is a buggy, expensive & complicated mess, even though that rhetoric couldn’t be further from the truth.
also, like console warriors, they seem to think it’s impossible to own more than one platform/console 😂
@KawakiisaFraud nah, don’t worry, i’m anti-fanboy to the bone & im inclined to agree with you. having a reason to turn on your console is extremely important; PC is a monolithic beast that’s risky to play with & sony is definitely playing around too much.
spider-man 2 was disappointing . i gave it the same rating as the first game but it should’ve been way more for a sequel. insomniac generally has a good track record though
ever since i got a pc i couldn’t care less about Scam plus, majority of people only have it because of the forced paywall to play online. sucks for people that are being grifted with mediocre monthly games(that aren’t actually free, btw) in return though
@TheArt Pretty much. I’m missing all of em, unless they’re like the original God of War games if that counts; the greek god of war games are an exception, and doom the dark ages 😂
on top of that , gta could never be set in states other than NY, CA, & FL. if they ever made a gta anywhere but those states you’re delusional if you think it would sell as well, other countries included.
@HonestHick i miss the original psn logo from the early ps3 days with the globe shape and the ps buttons embossed around it. the yellow d-pad came when they forced “ps plus” onto everyone so that they could scam us out of our money to pay for online
Every slimmer version of playstation consoles have always looked worse
the fat ps1 is aesthetically pleasing, the fat ps2 is just straight up a work of art, the fat ps3 is luxurious beauty and still timeless, the fat ps4 has an awesome shape & the fat ps5 is the boldest. slim models were always the boring revisions with stripped features
this kollection is disappointing from what i’m hearing; i would’ve gladly taken a re-release of mk9 instead. seems like they can’t make another good mk these days - first mk11, then mk1 & now this
also, the playstation consoles were only preferred for fighters because of the d-pad on the controller and because playstations always had a wider reach sales wise.
@11001100110zero i disagree, gears of war 4 & 5 were not only bad, but completely unnecessary, same with Halo 5. I get it from a business perspective - people have to make money right? but in terms of the series lore/authenticity/identity - gears 4 & 5 are garbage as gears of war games, and halo 5 too. Halo 4 had a good campaign and arguably could be considered necessary due to Halo 3s legendary ending, but either way both franchises wrapped up nicely and were done by the third game
@Bizzy accounts are definitely for the better, and i’m sure you can still play games as a guest. I’d rather take accounts with save data over memory cards anyday. Playing a PS2 or GC without a memory card sucked because you couldnt turn your console off. also , installs are inevitable if you want technically bigger/“next gen” games without very long load times, even PC had to do away with playing games right away and needed to eventually install them.
what we lost along the way is variety of genres, free online, unique new IPs & creativity.
@Northern_munkey i blame wi-fi users not the ps3, & games like tekken 6 were notorious for having s*** online across both console versions. gta 5 (the last online game i played on 360) was laggy on Xbox360 with long loading times. never played the ps3 version though, but i heard it was the best version at the time. a good argument against the free online back then is the psn outage, that was really bad.
Halo CE is my favorite halo campaign wise and even gameplay wise to an extent. I don’t care about anything 343/Halo Studios is doing because it’ll never be on the quality level of how Bungie handled this series 👎
I may get this game on a steep sale out of interest for Halo, but screw 343/Halo Studios
@Moonvalley2006 Don’t think that’s fair to say when Nintendo bailed out of the home console space and doubled-down on handheld , they lost permanently with the Wii U; and they’ve always got away with releasing a gen early like the switch and wii u and yet being compared to last gen consoles
but of course, Nintendo is the golden child of the industry so people just defend everything about them
Can’t believe we’re really surprised about this; $ony has been coasting this entire gen off the PS4s success & lowballing players with remasters and limited variety
@Balie3000 dammit i was just about to bring up concord, too! 😂 i actually enjoyed the multiplayer and saw potential but they made some bad decisions with it
@rjejr the old gamecube game. nintendo must have money to waste , i never would’ve thought that they’d choose to resurrect kirby air riders compared to their other dormant games

No, I’m not into old west GTA - can’t stand the setting/time period. western has to be one of the most boring themes next to medieval
