Which Game .... ? That is the Question - Blu-ray Forum

ScarredLungs · 12-05-2008, 02:52 PM

I am looking to get another PS3 game, but i am not well enough informed on what is out and which ones are good. (PC Games is a Different Story

) I currently own R:FOM and MGS4. Both are great games. I am not too big of fan of sports games any more. I used to love madden, but i have become disinfranchised with them over the past few years. I am slowly getting into Role Playing games.

What are some good Role Playing or 1st/3rd person shooters, that are great buys on the PS3. I am normally a big PC gamer, but i am slowly moving into the releam of PS3 games.

Any suggestions on what my next purchase should be?

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune!

ScarredLungs · 12-05-2008, 02:56 PM

I heard of that game. Is that a 3rd shooter or more of an adventure game?

Third person shooter/linear platformer/adventure game in that order. Great story with some of the best performances in gaming.

Uncharted is a shooter/platform game, think of it as Tomb Raider but way better, it is definitely worth the purchase and it's 40 bucks now at Amazon if I'm not mistaken.

Other FPS/TPS recommended:

Resistance 2
Warhawk
CoD WaW
Farcry 2
Saints Row 2
GTA IV

RPGs
Fallout 3
Oblivion
Eternal Sonata
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea 3

What does "linear platformer" mean? Is that saying it is exclusive to the PS3?

I have thought about Resistance 2. How is Far Cry?
What is the best RPG of the ones you have listed (in your opinion)

Linear means the river flows one way, non linear means the river flows many ways.

Its a plat former but there is only one way to get to the end of a stage, its very cool looking check out the demo on the psn store.

It is a ps3 exclusive.

I've never liked RPG's because most seem to involve flipping about in your magical pixie boots, waving your massively over-sized sword at anything you can't hurl a hex at but Fallout 3 is bloody awesome!!!

You climb and jump along set paths, the environment isn't really set up in a way so that everything's there to be climbed over like a purer platformer. Sometimes you might have two or three options in an area (like in the demo river/log area on the PlayStation Store) but the platforming's intended more as a pace changer than the core challenge. On the ground however there's a lot of opportunity to move around, take better cover.

And that sir causes you to lose a million experience points, that is not what rpgs were ever about.. Thats what popular rpgs are about...

CYMBOL · 12-05-2008, 03:31 PM

Yeah, check out the demo on PSN for Uncharted - if you don't like the demo - you won't like the game.

Shin-Ra · 12-05-2008, 03:35 PM

The full game sets things up a lot nicer entering the temple, learning about Nate and Sully, solving some environmental puzzles then introducing the real danger. Sometimes if you don't care why you're helping the character you're less likely to take an interest and get over the learning how everything works hurdle.

Still a fun demo though.

ScarredLungs · 12-05-2008, 03:39 PM

I'll need to look at the Demo for Uncharted when i get home. (I'm at work right now)

Does Farcry have a demo by chance?

I don't mind at all... I admit, I'm pretty much a first person shooter guy. Cut my teeth on Doom shareware back in the ice age although many 3'rd person shooters are great as well. Sniper Elite... MGS... etc. Fallout 3 certainly changed my view of RPG's that's for sure.

No demo for far cry, but it's a pretty good game.

As far as RPGs I haven't played Fallout 3 yet, but I heard that's pretty good, there's a demo of Valkyria and Eternal Sonata on the store, I have Oblivion and it was a pretty good game, you can get the GOTY edition for $30 off Amazon.

There is no such thing as experience points I was being funny

..

I recall the doom shareware days as well, might find this funny im a all around genera guy started on the pc so long ago... I generally play older pc games that I found fun, and my ps3 games.
