Convince me to get a PS3

[Saddo]

I tried to sell the SNES at GameStop and they laughed at me.

The PS3 will still play PS1 & PS2 games, will it not?

I remember years ago when I never thought I'd need or want an NES again when they came out with SNES and N64, but now I'd pay as much for a working NES as I would a PS3 or a Wii (not really ).

I not only have a working NES but a working Power Pad, and working Duck Hunt Gun.


I also have plenty of games for it: Super Mario Bros. 1-3, Breakthru, Track and Field, Duck Hunt, Double Dribble, MegaMan, etc

I never got the game I really wanted for it though.....Zelda.

The 60GB version does but the 40GB version does not.

I sometimes have graving for Mortal Kombat ll and that keeps making me buy a snes. when im tired of it again i somehow lose track what i did with my last snes.

[Julius Rain]

I have a working NES and a working SNES. I never owned a N64 but did have a GC that the ex-wife took when she left.

I tried to sell the SNES at GameStop and they laughed at me.

I also had a TurboGrafx 16 which a sold to a kid in highschool after having it for only a few months.

I did the same thing, but before the guy laughed at me he called his other friends just so more of them could

Wow! I did not know this. Are you 100% on this?

[Dizaster]

Where is the info that FNR4 will be released?



Anyway, that PrizeFighter game comes out on Xbox360 and not PS3 as far as i know..



Anyway, Dizaster, I just started playing God of War for PS2, my cousin let me borrow it.. I haven't played a console game, or really and game in years but this one looked interesting and my cousin was really hyping up 1 and 2.. he said when i'm done with 1 to get 2 from him.. I'm only about a half hour or so in, just curious on your review of the game.

God of War is probably my favourite console game of all time! THe fighting is great fun, the levels are awesome, graphics is great, story is great, actually takes a little while to finish and isn't over to quickly, leave you hanging for more... I love the atmosphere of it as well i.e. the settings of ancient greece and some of the larger worlds you can just get right into...

And trust me, God of War 2 doubles number 1 in every way when your up to it..

What do you think of it so far??

So far i just beat the first "level", the hydra.. And I REALLY like the atmosphere but I need to play it more to see how i like it.. A lot of games like that get redundant and you feel like you're just continuing to kill hordes of guys after hordes of guys etc..

I actually really enjoyed the old "Tomb Raider" games because there was a LOT of figuring out to do, and you could spend hours on just one level.. So not only did you have some cool weapons and vehicles and environments, but there was a lot of puzzle solving also.. God of War seems a little more straight forward which is good and bad..

But I heard that #2 is awesome.

[Dizaster]

Yeah I see what you mean defiently... I think I liked the straight forward button mashing killing hoards and hoards of men as it's good stress releif after a hard day at work.. The story contiues on a little more, gets a little more puzzeling, not so linear so you have to do a little more exploring, and you get more different opponents... I've just starting playing 1 again the other day just out of boredom, and the first level is a bit mundane, but it does expand a lot more after 2 or 3 levels...

I might have to go down and hire Tomb Raider or Resident Evil as someone mentioned as I havn't played those..

I love the war type Medal of Honour games when they have really good missions, although all of them try to put a new spin on the genre, and none have really nailed it for me so far...
Return to Castle Wolfenstein's gameplay wasn't quite the best, but it had the best story and the levels were really cool... I hope they decide to go ahead with another one for the PS3 or xbox 360

I have a ps3 and a 360 and can tell you the ps3 is a better console, the online isn't as good but it keeps getting updated and its free.
assassins creed is good but repetitive.
you said you like the god of war games so you'd have that coming out end of this year/early next year.
Devil may cry 4 is great and it lasts you a long time.
And as for medal of honour, stuff that and get Call of duty 4.
Theres also games like haze and metal gear solid coming out which are exclusive to the ps3

If you haven't played Resident Evil (esp the original) then you need to.. Thing is, is that the graphics are REALLY outdated now, so it won't be as amazing as it was about 10 years ago.. As i said the Tomb Raiders (the early ones) are great also..

But if you want a great game for PS1.. METAL GEAR SOLID.. Probably one of my favorite games ever.. The story is great and it's a LOT of fun.. Tons of bosses in it and they all follow along with the story.. Mostly with each boss there are more and more concepts.. For example you fight a guy who reads your mind, so you have to unplug your controller from port 1 into port 2 so that he can't read your mind and you can defeat him.. it's good shit, i'd def look into it..


I played more God of War today and got pretty far into it.. You were dead on with saying that it gets better after a few levels.. The fact that you're constantly fighting different types of enemies is cool, plus you get those special attacks, but some work better on certain enemies and you have to figure out which to use on which etc.. I don't want to know if you do, but if you have to fight Ares at the end, I can't wait.
