Hey all,

After some crafty re-budgeting the last two months, I have finally managed to save up enough 'extra money' and am ready to spend it on a ps3.

That being said, I need game suggestions. I was thinking Resistance + (insert suggestion)

Thanks.
 
Virtua Fighter 5 if you like fighters... this excluding smash bros is the best fighting game out there period.
Oblivian if you don't have an earlier version.
Motorstorm if you like arcade racing.(not pure driving simulation) - forget the demo, it sucks compared to the real game. The real game is great.

download gripshift $10 off the PSN store, well worth the cash.

maybe pile, if these your kind of games and you don't have for another system:

Godfather: GTA clone type game.
Enchanted Arms: J-RPG, annoying voices, cheesy dialog, ext... but a good rpg fix.

Fight Night round 3: If you're a boxing fan.

Armored Core 4: If you're into mechs and have a LOT of time to learn a game where the mech customization system is really freaking complicated.
Import Gundam Musou: If you like Mechs but don't want to spend 2 hours learning how to customize properly. - There's a demo out so you can try.


If you like baseball... DO NOT GET MLB 2k7! Check out the demo first!!! Personally I think you're better off waiting a week and getting MLB 07: The Show. My best friend IRL is actually waiting on buying a PS3 til the Show comes out.

Get Resistance obviously... you'll love it. I may suggest as well... F.E.A.R. if you're info FPS, but that's based on what people are saying, I haven't personally played it yet.(I ordered it online but I had it sent to my house and I'm still at my dorm.) I'm assuming of course you don't have it already for PC or 360.

Unless you already have an opinon of Tekken vs Virtua Fighter, I suggest you just get Virtua Fighter and don't bother buying Tekken 5: DA for $20 or MK2 for $5. Virtua Fighter is ALL you really need... unless you're already a Tekken or MK2 fan...

And my friend all love Virtua Tennis - personally I think it's kind of simple and boring.

And that link is potentially useful. I might wait on Linux though until they get a distro working that taps into the PS3's full power. When that happens I'm sure those linux dudes will pump out one based on using your PS3 as a Tivo and to run all the retro system's emulators. But if you have any interest in that eventually, you might as well partition 10 of your gigs so you don't need to format later and have to backup your save files.

Nooo, now you're gonna take another break! Pasquale!!! Who are we gonna tease when we go do events and no one dies within moments of getting to the area?? ; ;

Aaaaaaaanyways, I haven't heard of there being any decent games out on PS3 yet so I don't have any recommendations. Enjoy your new system ^^
 
LAIR comes out this week I believe, or next. Get that :P Also, Oblivion's fun if you don't have that yet.

I took thursday afternoon off, and it till be devoted to ffxi to make up for my almost full month of absence. I promise tons of death and complaining. :wink:

Fire, thanks for the list. I'll probably pick up Virtua Fighter and maybe Armored Core. I have FEAR and Godfather for PC and ps2 respectively. FEAR was good, but I hated the ending, and Godfather is getting traded in today.
 
You Know You Want Lair! :p

Edit: OH wait, at least I thought it was coming out this week.. maybe it was Spider-Man 3 I was thinking of XD
 
I thought I was told may 4th or 5th.. I forget which... but.. I prolly was just thinking of Spider-Man 3.

lol...
 
Ignore Tag. He considers this the best fighting game out there.

He likes to quote games with near perfect ratings that I say I think are good and then say, "lol," and proceed to jack off to dragonball z hentai.
 
You're fucking funny, I never said that game was the best fighter. I don't even own it. I just said it's not a bad game.

Edit: also apparently 87% average is near perfect, awesome.

Let me rephrase this, then. It's the only fighting game on a next gen console that isn't a total fucking joke, excluding Tekken: DA which I'll cut slack since it's a $20 download.

A lot of people, myself included, think Virtua Fighter is one of the top series. It's extremely well balanced and easy for a beginner to pick up, while complex enough to spend years mastering it.

PS: If you actually read the reviews they all say something along the lines of, "this game is perfect, but I'm subtracting X points for no online versus.

Fair enough.

I forgot that you only look at the current generation when you call things "the best". ;o

VF is good, no doubt about that. VF5 is solid as heck. It's just far from being "the best." =p If you ever took a general consensus, I guarantee Third Strike would come out on top as the "best fighter of all time." Though that would be nearly impossible, since it'd be impossible to get an acceptable sampling...
 
Why argue in general :P fighters blow.. most (the games AND the people playing) are "BUTTON SMASH!"
 
Traditional 2d fighters like street fighter, guilty gears and mortal kombat haven't really been effective at staying significant to the larger gaming population. I'm sure if there was a general, non biased poll something 3d along of the lines of Tekken(or VF in Asia) would win if not something completely different like smash bros.

Fighters as a whole aren't mainstream at all (except Mortal Kombat, but most fighter fans don't consider it a fighter, lol. likewise DoA though 4 was a big improvement).

It's largely a niche genre.
 
Dude, EBGames has this deal where if you trade in your old PS2, Two controllers and a 8 MB memory card they'll give you $100 credit towards your PS3. You can get a memory card adapter for PS3 for 15 bucks. Totally worth it. We have two PS2's sitting in my house collecting dust and my PS2 w/ FFXI hard drive is being used by my little brother.
 
Hehe, I did that :P I took my other PS2 in (weee) and because I was friend's with the store's manager I got a bit more deal XD in the end I paid 600 bucks for PS3, second controller, 2 games, memory card adapter, and there was one more thing.. *thinks* grr.. I forget.. something I got for my friend. Not a bad deal, if you ask me. Since my friend will be getting a 360 I won't bother. Now just to see which of us wants to get a Wii :P (prolly me, friend got the GC last time around, and Wii holds more interest to me than my friend I think).
