Cube Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I didn't think it was as good as the brilliant Fahrenheit, but Heavy Rain is still a great game. I hope they make another one (as in a new "cinematic game", not a sequel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Fahrenheit definitely was good but the story just took such a weird turn in that game! Undead lovin and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I really liked Heavy Rain. The story wasnt great, it had plot holes and the voice acting was terrible (yet awesome at the same time....."Jason!") but the entire thing just felt like one big experience I hadnt had before and id love for them to make another game like it. Exactly. Also, out of interest have you played all the God of War games, or just 3?GoW3 looks amazing, but really I think it means I should play the first two as well, and I'm gonna have such a mountain of games built up by the time Uni ends and I start playing that, that I'm not sure I want to add 2 more to that list. I've played them all and also the PSP ones. Everyone of them is worth playing and all available on the PS3. I would recommend you at least play through the first 2 before starting the 3rd as there is alot going on in terms of story and the 3rd one starts straight after the 2nd. You can skip the PSP ones. It's not that they are bad, far from it in fact, just that they are more really side stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroicjanitor Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Fahrenheit was unique too, starting off in a toilet where you have killed a guy and have no recollection of it. Then you have to wash your hands, try to act casual, the police ask you where the toilet is or something, it is exhilarating when you are actually worried you'll get caught or die... I want them to make more of these games, and where the hell is The Last Guardian for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 GAME has been hacked. Unlike the other hacks this one is serious as the passwords are public.

I've still not finished it either. Fortune Hunter Pack is incredible value for money so I say fuck it and get both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually better and harder than Demon's Souls, ie. epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Believe me Sheikz, I'd have been on that shit immediately were it not for my lack of connection, there was no way I was going to play the game without seeing those beautiful ghosts floating around the set. I'm now online though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 How similar is the gameplay between the two? Very similar but tweaked to make it better. It's a damn big game and hard as all hell but so damn rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Purchased a PS3 last night. Mostly going to use it for blu-ray but figured I should pick up some games so any suggestions? Rarely play so not going to get many at the moment but thinking LBP, Heavy Rain, Bioshock. And fuck me the controllers are expensive! Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The Uncharted series (obviously). Infamous 1/2, if you're into superhero open world games. Valkyria Chronicles, if you like SRPGs. The Ratchet & Clank games, if you like action-platformers with a lot of humor. If you haven't played them already on the PS2, check out Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. LittleBigPlanet, Heavy Rain and Bioshock are all good games, so you could do a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Skip LBP, get the sequel instead. You should be able to find it for under £15 and it improves upon the original in pretty much every regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah I've been looking around for PS3 games lately, LBP1 is £9.99 & LBP2 £14.99 on Zavvi, but I still haven't made my mind up on the series yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) All (if not most) of the Final Fantasy titles prior to FFX are on sale on the store, no reason not to get at least FFVII, VIII and IX if anyone hasn't already played them. Those 3 are £3.50 each if you have PS Plus, £4 otherwise. Fantastic value for what they are! Getting FFVII through to IX for about a tenner is insanely good. And fuck me the controllers are expensive! Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller Yeah no idea why but these went up incredibly steeply last year, with shops like game/gamestation selling them for over £50! Amazon is your best bet at £35. I really wouldn't recommend buying them preowned (they might be on the verge of being worn out) or buying from ebay/Amazon marketplace. There seems to be quite a few counterfeits knocking about. Edited January 28, 2012 by Sheikah Automerged Doublepost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burny Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) And fuck me the controllers are expensive! Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller Well, you get analogue buttons for it. Those got to be worth a premium, no? An advice concerning Bioshock: If you can wait, then get Bioshock Infinite when it comes out later this year. It will include the first. That is, unless Irrational or 2k Games decide to pull an EA... Edit: @Retro_Link If you're looking for a jump&run on the PS3, have you considered Rayman Origins? If not, you should at least check out the demo!

Aimless Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Well, you get analogue buttons for it. Those got to be worth a premium, no? The DualShock 2's buttons are also analogue. It didn't have SIXAXIS, Bluetooth or a battery pack, though. You can find new DS3s for under £30 pretty reliably if you shop around. Gameplay seems like the best bet currently.

Aimless Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Never knew that. Where they used as often as the DS3's are? Honestly the only examples I can think of are MGS2 and 3: you had to let go of Square slowly to holster your weapon and after holding a guard up, and the pressure you applied to the L and R buttons changed zoom level during cutscenes. I don't claim to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of PS2 game button functions, mind. I imagine it's one of those things that's actually used a lot, you just don't notice it. Even if we're dealing with a binary function it allows developers to vary where the 'bite' of a button press is, which must be quite handy; to throw out a hypothetical example, you might require a deliberate press of a button to use a healing item making it less likely people would clip it accidentally and waste resources.
