Paid Members chokeout Posted July 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ive just got a 3D tv and its looking like it'll work out cheaper buying a 2nd hand PS3 than a 3D blu ray player so my questions are. How is the PS3 as a blu ray / 3D Bluray player, is it any good, noisy etc? Also which of the PS3 exclusive games should i be looking at getting, Uncharted and The Last Of Us are the top of my list, any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 3, 2014 PS3 is great as a blu-ray player. Never had any problems and not loud at all. Â Flower, Journey and inFamous are exclusives worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted July 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Didn't get round to finishing Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon when I bought it months ago, so I got back on it last week. The final mission got a massive mark-out from me, just a brilliant and fun mission.   John Matrix will appreciate this  This is why i should browse the boards more often and get out of my comfort zone, my only access to gaming is via a Mega Drive handheld port thing, so suffice to say, not much in here for me usually but something implored me to have a look and that is AMAZING. Is that a legit part of that game? Edited July 3, 2014 by John Matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's a rock solid Blu-ray player, you should probably also but the Blu-ray remote as well though since navigating with the pad can be a pain. Â Yakuza 4 and Valkyria Chronicles are worth a shot.

Merzbow Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yakuza 3 and 4 are the unsung heroes of this generation, they're both stupidly good fun and the storyline plays out like a great violent soap opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) After playing nothing but Skyrim from November 2011 to the day GTA V came out, I then played GTA V until I'd gone through it twice and then got bored of the online stuff... just in time for Elder Scrolls Online's release.  For that, I got a spanking hot PC. I then quickly found that Elder Scrolls online is shite so have then caught up on gaming in general. First, I got Skyrim but with all them glorious mods and extra quests and stuff. I sunk about 100 hours into the game once more.  I needed to play other stuff so here's what I've done so far (in order):  - South Park: The Stick of Truth - Tales of Monkey Island (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) - Portal 2 - Portal - Antichamber  Steam's sales are wicked btw. You PC gamers already know this.  I started playing Far Cry 3. Looks great but plays like a fucking turd. So I've moved onto the following that I'm currently playing:  - Quantum Connundrum - Borderlands 2 - The Stanley Parable  I've got these still to start at some point:  - L.A. Noire - Max Payne 3 - Witcher 2   Is Watch Dogs on PC still buggy as fuck or is that overstated? Edited July 4, 2014 by aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted July 5, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm currently working my way through Fallout:New Vegas and it's one of the most fun gaming experiences iv'e ever had. Never really saw myself as much of a gamer, especially an RPG guy but this and Oblivion have easily been my two favorite ever games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yakuza 3 and 4 are the unsung heroes of this generation, they're both stupidly good fun and the storyline plays out like a great violent soap opera. Â Yakuza 3 is fun but the cuts (over 20 side missions I think among other things) left a sour taste in my mouth. Yakuza Dead Souls is good fun as well IMO once you get used to the controls, I really need to finish it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I never managed to finish Dead Souls either, same reason with the weird controls. It's a shame though as it's a pretty good game underneath that, they just need to set the controls more like a typical TPS game. I'm still holding out for Yakuza 5 to find its way over here, I've played the japanese demo and you can tell that it's a nice step up from 4.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 5, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm currently working my way through Fallout:New Vegas and it's one of the most fun gaming experiences iv'e ever had. Never really saw myself as much of a gamer, especially an RPG guy but this and Oblivion have easily been my two favorite ever games. Â I've not long played through New Vegas again after my PS3 broke down and I got a new one. I enjoyed it so much more than I remembered, I think I loved 3 so much and played it to excess so when I only really put it down when I got New Vegas it was too soon and overkill for me. I really got into the story and the characters and it felt such a fun and enjoyable way to escape the world for a few hours when I fancied it. Â I dread the day I pick up Skyrim off the shelf and start that again. So, so many hours lost on that and I didn't even get to the end of the dragon story, which was sort of the main one.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 5, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Maverick, have you played Fallout 3 or Skyrim? Both are widely regarded as being better than New Vegas and Oblivion, so you'll love them. I think I only prefer Fallout 3 because of the brilliant DLC packs- as the New Vegas map is excellent and much less of a bastard to get around compared to DC in Fallout 3. The fucking subway... Â But as for Skyrim...oh man. That game has exercised emotions I didn't even think I had. So, so much better than Oblivion in my opinion. It's probably my favorite game of all time.

Sphinx Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Without sounding like a bell, when does it get good in Fallout 3? I remember buying it for a tenner new in an Asda clearance when it was still relatively new but losing interest in it. I made my character, and got to a bit with a preacher and a bomb. I mean, right at the beginning. I felt like I was aimlessly wandering around not really sure what I was doing. I might give it another go, but don't know if it's just not for me. I like Skyrim, but tend to get bogged down in the detail lest I miss something - so I'll read all the books and waste hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
