Owen Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 The actually online gaming on the PS3 is fine, just don't expect all the fancy 360 stuff, like personalize chat through games and so on, although they might do that, i mean you can chat with mates on the Playstation XMB area, so they might eventually do that in a firmware update, who knows eh? Agreed. There's no doubt Xbox Live is better! BUT PSN is free, which is a major bonus!
Mundi Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Gonna play trough Silent Hill 1-4, wish me luck :Þ Good grief i yelled at Silent Hill 1 that thing that falls out of the locker in the school.
Ashley Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 What type of video file does the PS3 need? As avis don't seem to work.
Owen Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Since Mario Galaxy and PGR4 are the only games I'll be buying this year now I think I'll be playing through Shadow of the Colossus and Okami at last some time towards the end of the year. I know! I delved into Okami alot more yesterday, clocked up 15 hours. Played it for a couple of hours. I adore it! Shadow Of The Colossus is another game i've kinda abandoned but i'm going to go back too! It depresses me though.... Shit and GOWII! Jeez....me bad.
My Buttons are Magic!

Aimless Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 hey, im getting a ps2 soon (hopefully) and would like peoples suggestions on what games to get This isn't software related, but if you're thinking of getting a PS2 you might want to wait a bit as it seems likely that Sony will be unveiling a cheaper version soon-ish. Not a big deal if you're getting one second-hand, but rumour is the newer version could be around £75/€100 new. I'm not much help on the game's front, I'm afraid. Could you qualify "kinda" a bit in regards to RPGs? They're certainly the PS2's forte, but there's all sorts out there — and a lot of generic tosh.

Aimless Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 It's ridiculous, my mind's blank. There are so many games on the PS2! Erm, if you haven't played it then you might like Beyond Good & Evil. It's a lovely Zelda-esque game which should be suitably accessible, and the PS2 version is the only one you can really get a hold of these days. The Kingdom Hearts games might be a good choice. They're action RPGs that mix Final Fantasy and Disney characters, and the main game is pretty easy. Psychonauts is a really funny platform/adventure game, although it does have the odd difficulty spike. One of those might be tracking the damn game down to buy. If you're at all into traditional Japanese RPGs then I'd definitely recommend Final Fantasy X. It can have some nastily hard parts, but generally you can overcome anything by either levelling up a bit or asking for some good tactics. On a similar note you might like Final Fantasy X-2 which is a very saccharine spin-off: so long as you can stomach the "Girl Power!" vibe of it I've been told it's really good. I'm sure there's lots of other titles too, I'm just having a hard time thinking at the moment.
Roostophe Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Did anyone ever play Dark Chronicle? PLAY magazine said that it was a 'Zelda beater'. Now, I don't mean to sound like a common Zelda fanboy, but Dark Chronicle was shite, full stop. You didn't need to compare it to Zelda to say it was awful. The voice acting was rubbish, the dungeons were crap, and the battle system was naff...
Slaggis Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 I did. I owned it for a while, and after a couple of dungeons it bored the hell out of me. Zelda beater my arse.
Owen Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I believe i purchased the first one, expecting a PS2 Zelda (the main character was like a pixie, dressed in green right?) and that was shite as well. Your sword broke like every 5 minutes and building your town was rubbish as well....
Hero-of-Time Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I believe i purchased the first one, expecting a PS2 Zelda (the main character was like a pixie, dressed in green right?) and that was shite as well. Your sword broke like every 5 minutes and building your town was rubbish as well.... Yeah Dark Cloud was terrible. I hated how your weapons broke and then you ha dto use fairy dust or something to fix it. The dungeons were so blad aswell, the only decent thing was the create a village thingy that you had to do. I think I spent about 2 hours on that game, maybe less...
Mikey Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I'd buy a tiny PS2. I hate having this massive one around, and this'd be ideal.
AshMat Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Gonna play trough Silent Hill 1-4, wish me luck :ÞGood grief i yelled at Silent Hill 1 that thing that falls out of the locker in the school. I've seen that bit 3 times. There's not a single time it didn't shit me up.

theguyfromspark Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Is there an official PSN ID list anywhere of you guys? I want to add some of you (as no one has added me yet! ) but not sure of the IDs
That Guy Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Okami is meant to be quite an easy game, it's meant to be a similar game to Zelda. Do you like platformers like Jak and Daxter?
Hero-of-Time Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Is there an official PSN ID list anywhere of you guys? I want to add some of you (as no one has added me yet! ) but not sure of the IDs There was on somewhere in this thread but both me and Caris have sold our PS3s so if you find our names then just scratch them off the list. I know both Owen and Dom still have theirs though.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Why did you sell your PS3 HoT? I sold it about a month after I got it. Basically it was due to the lack of games, I mean there was only Resistance, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank that I wanted to play. I LOVED Resistance but after that there was nothing for a while so I just sold it. I will pick another 1 up when Metal Gear gets released, still not happy that it got delayed Im pretty happy with what I have got at the moment I mean the Wii and 360 pretty much have me set for the end of the year and beginning of next.
Marshmellow Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Ai, after owning the PS3 for what 3 months I still have not purchased one game for it... I always choose the Xbox 360 version of the game for the achievements. Maybe I should sell mine as well, and pick up one later when White Knight or MGS4 comes out... If I sold it here in town I would probably make a profit.
theguyfromspark Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I'm hoping the PS3 dry spell is over for the time being. Even though I'll be buying all my non exclusives on the 360, I'm hoping for some good experiences on the PS3. Home and Little Big Planet should be fun at the very least.
Domstercool Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Domstercool is my ID, as like everything else is too!
m_fergy Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Anyone know when Uncharted - Drakes Fortune is released in the UK ?
