A guy I know owed me some money. He had recently bought a PS3 for his nephew, only to be told 'FUK U UNKUL I WANT PS4 I HATE YOU'. Now I have a pretty much untouched (he played maybe 15 minutes of Last of Us and Destiny before deciding he sucks at video games) PS3. If I hate it, looking at used console prices I can just sell it and make way more than the guy owed me, but I decided to give it a chance.
Since I'm the sort of intelligent consumer who somehow ended up with 1582 games on Steam that I will never ever play, I immediately went and bought a ton of games,somemany of which are probably shit (no clue why I got the GOWs when people I trust have said they're pretty much 'baby's first action game'). However now I've slowed down and decided to get some Codex recommendations instead of buying everything that moves.
Games I already got:
Bayonetta
Demon's Souls
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Drakengard 3
Destiny
Folklore
God of War 1-3
Heavenly Sword
Ico + Shadow of the Colossus Collection
Infamous 1-2
Killzone 1-3
The Last of Us
Metal Gear Solid 4
Nier
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Bitch
Ratchet and Clank Future 1-2
Resistance 1-3
Uncharted 1-3
Yakuza 3-4
Are there any other games on the PS3 worth owning? Games that have a PC release I'd prefer to just have the PC version of, unless for some reason it's way inferior (I have a controller), so I guess I'm focusing on console-only games. If they're multiplayer-only I have pretty much 0 interest, since online multi is something I do on PC, and gaming is a mostly solitary hobby for me as I prefer doing other stuff with friends/gf/whoever in person.
It also has a blue ray player. It's kinda neat as a STB.PS3 = dedicated Netflix machine

It would be good for streaming too if it didn't have filthy Cinavia spyware.It also has a blue ray player. It's kinda neat as a STB.PS3 = dedicated Netflix machine
This is how you go full consoletard:
(warning: your eyes might bleed)
Absolutely not. It's the kind of "game" that makes me double down on my extremism, which I will do now: There is no place for this thing in a thinking, dexterous, or emotionally stable person's collection. It's desert is like a metaphor for the vast nothingness that comprises it. You will not be challenged in any way. In lieu of any challenge, I'm confident that the developers and fanboys, were you to bring that point before them, would tell you you are doing it wrong and it's about exploration. But you will explore and find nothing of note or use, so you will not be exploring but sight-seeing. The sights you will see will remind you of many a digital screensaver you may have seen for free, and the rational side of your brain will ask why you paid money for the pleasure. You will do things that some beings call "puzzles" but they will not feel like puzzles by the standards of adequately functioning humans and my pet ferret. You will occasionally run into another digital triangle being passed off as a character that you can roam the desert with, not being able to communicate in any reasonable manner, even though two people in the real world who don't speak the same language will still try to communicate verbally. You will wander with this triangle, sometimes running, sometimes floating with your scarves flowing in the breeze. This will affect you depending on your emotional age or sexual orientation.Is Journey as good as everyone made it out to be a few years back?
Good game, played it already, but worth owning. Buying.Vanquish.
I like challenging puzzles and decent stories. The boobs look suspiciously anime but I will give it the benefit of the doubt.Catherine
Challenging puzzle game. Plus there's a decent story (such a miracle) and boobs.
Tokyo Jungle seems pretty unusual. Nice boxart too. Probably buying.On topic, only PS recommendations I can give are Team-ICO games and Tokyo Jungle.
I've held off on these HD collections because I'm unclear on whether I'd be better off playing them or just using PCSX2 and running the originals on PC. I heard the Silent Hill HD collection was sorta shit and screwed up the game. DMC collection I'm unsure about since I already have 3 on PC and have no interest in ever playing 2 again. MGS HD collection I know very little about. Are any of them genuinely better in the HD collections than they'd be on an emulator?As for serious recommendations:
DMC HD collection
Metal Gear Solid HD collection (The legacy collection in particular)
I'll probably try the demo of the Wizardry game before making a decision on it. TBH I don't like the idea of digital distribution tied to a console with a limited lifespan, so I doubt I'll buy it unless there's a physical version, western or jap import.There's Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls on the PSN store if you're into Nip Wizardries, aka cloning mechanics from 1-5. I got my moneys worth from it atleast.
Some people seem to be head over heels for Red Dead Redemption, so might give that a try. I didn't particularly like it, but I only played for a couple of hours so what do I know.
okLundB coop Dragon's Crown with me
Thats how I like to justify this. I got it at pretty much the same price as a normal bluray player, but it can do games too. Will probably move my actual bluray player to my other tv so that this excuse holds more water.It also has a blue ray player. It's kinda neat as a STB.PS3 = dedicated Netflix machine
I don't even have a nephew, it was the nephew of the guy who owed me 50 dorra. I'd never abuse a kid by buying him a console.Buying that PS3 for him was a test, right? If he had said he wants a pc you would have bought him the best pc you can afford. But because he wanted a PS4 I hope the brat got the beating of his life from you!
Is it an actual good game? I've always been suspicious that the fapping it got from games journlolists was the same sort of fapping every bullshit wannabe-artsy indie game gets. Am I wrong?slight necro
Okami, I assume if you own a machine that can play okami and yet don't have okami you're missing out.
I've heard MGS2 runs smoothly on an emulator, but MGS3 is another story. Lack of support for sensitive button presses makes CQC very difficult to perform, which makes at least one boss fight at the end of the game much, much harder than it should be.MGS HD collection I know very little about. Are any of them genuinely better in the HD collections than they'd be on an emulator?

Red Dead I'm unsure of. I've heard some negative stuff about it, but then again I find myself liking Western stuff even if it's not so good, so I'd probably enjoy it. Will play Ecstasy of Gold on loop and ponder whether to buy.
