Recommend PS3 games


Recommended Posts

Just bought a brand new PS3 Slim off Kijiji (really really good deal) and I want to go buy some games tonight after work. Now the only problem is that I never really looked at the game lineup for the PS3 (since I didn't have one) AND I'm very picky with games.

Here's what I like:

- RPGs (mostly japanese rpgs, no FPS with RPG element type thing)

- Strategy RPGs (eg: Final Fantasy Tactics)

- 2D Platformers (Mario)

- Some Racing games (I'm pretty picky with racing games... though the new NFS Hot pursuit looks great...the PS1 version was the last NFS game I liked)

I don't like:

- FPS

Here's some games I really like:

Final Fantasy 1-6

Most SNES Rpgs

Suikoden series

I'll try to update this post as I remember stuff (hard to do while I'm at work....)

Also keep in mind I already have a Wii and a 360 (but it's banned so most XBLA games that are also on the PS3 are good suggestions)

Oh and I'm already planning to pick up Valkyria Chronicles (sp?) since I'm playing VC 2 on my PSP and I'm liking it

Alright I did some research (limited because my work blocks gaming sites ;)) and here's some games I plan on picking up:

3D Dot Game Heroes

Ar Tonelico 3

Disgaea 3

Little Big Planet (not sure I'll like it but there's so much hype and I can get it for cheap)

Valkyria Chronicles

And some games I'll look into:

Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland 2 (if english)

Cross Edge

Front Mission Evolved (I like Front Mission but this is an FPS :/)

Pixel Junk Monsters

Ratchet & Clank (all)

Record of Agarest War: Zero (if english)

Ridge Racer 7 (maybe)

Sega Rally (maybe)

Star Ocean The Last Hope (maybe... I still have to play SO3... SO1 and 2 were great though)

White Knight Chronicles

I would also like some games to play with my gf

Star Ocean is kind of meh unfortunately. It does have some cool cut scenes, however, some are ridiculously long (over 45 mins).

It's a really long game but has some pretty big flaws.

You should check out some reviews on Metacritic.com to get a feel for what ones to pick up.

You might want to pick up the Uncharted games. They are amazingly well designed games.

^I enjoyed SO4, but I guess I'm biased since I love all SO games. They all have flaws in their own right, but in the end they are some of the better RPG's available IMO.

Disgaea 3 - I own this but didn't play much of it. It's a little too "goofy" for my RPG taste, but since it's a SRPG you will prolly like it.

Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland 2 - The first game was just released today for outside Japan... will be awhile before 2 is released :p

Valkyria Chronicles - MUST BUY! :laugh:

Ar Tonelico 3 - I enjoyed the ones on PS2 but this one did not interest me at all. Saw some gameplay vids and it just looks like a poorly done Star Ocean 4

Record of Agarest War: Zero - May never be localized sadly. Have you played the first one?

As for racing games, I'm very picky as well. So far the only racing game I've liked is Burnout Paradise which you can get dirt cheap ($10 used) now. Very fun racing game.

Star Ocean 4 is kinda meh imo though I did enjoy some bits of it though... storyline is pretty boring imo. I strongly suggest instead of Star Ocean, get Resonance of Fate. I found that game pretty fun and more 'hardcore' :p if you are into that type of thing. Yup, agreed on getting Uncharted 1 and 2.

^All SO storylines are pretty boring for the most part, it's expected :laugh: Although SO4 does tie into SO1 so if you've played it you'll get the references. It's pretty much the gameplay that sells this series (SO3 gameplay is better than SO4 IMO)

LBP without a doubt. You can also online multi-player level and some of the puzzles will actually require all of your sack person's participation :D

I play it with the wife all the time, she thinks it's 'cute', I think it's one of the best platform games I've ever played and have preordered LBP2 lol

Alright well here's what I picked up so far:

3D Dot Game Heroes

Disgaea 3 (Not sure if I'll enjoy it but I got a good deal on it, I liked the first one but never finished it and I didn't try the second one)

Little Big Planet (game of the year edition)

Ratchet & Clank (don't remember which one... but not the latest one)

Sega Rally

I probably won't be able to play them before the weekend though :(

GOW? Do you mean Gears of War? I said I don't like FPS :/

I meant God of War series. Never miss GOW3 its really awesome.

There are many games out there which can only be played once(no online play) but still worth playing like Uncharted,GOW1-2-3,Heavy Rain,Assasins Creed 2(I love this game)

I rented most of the good games for $15 a month for 2 months.

3D dot game heroes is horrible. The novelty factor wears off after 15 minutes and you're better off playing a real zelda game.

Yea I'm finding that too :/ I finished the first dungeon and most of the second.... and I'm not sure when I'll be going back to it

Eh should've taken Valkyria Chronicles over 3D Dot. That game doesn't deserve to be more than a $15 PSN game. Valkyria Chronicles is an underrated gem to say the least.
