I played them both solo, managing Sheva's inventory was obnoxious as hell and removing it from 6 was a huge improvement. I still haven't cracked open 7 despite owning it for a while

This may not be the right thread for it, but whatever.

I recently picked up a PS3 because I hate money and like the idea of collecting video games kind of. What are the PS3 games that either only available for the PS3 or otherwise not available for PS4 / Steam / easy emulation? So far I have listed:

All Ratchet and Clanks
God of War Collections
Jak and Daxter collections
Sly Cooper Collection
Sly 4
Ico / Shadow Collection
MGS Legacy Collection
Demon Souls
Katamari Forever
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Pain
Fat Princess
Catherine
Zone of the Enders collection
DMC collection

What am I missing? Also what was that dog rolling poo game on PSN? DOKI DOKI BOY or something like that? I can't seem to find it.

It doesn't really show its age at all, even the controls aren't annoying since the gameplay is built around their limitations. And Ashley is one of the only tolerable escort companions in games period

Yeah it has aged remarkably well.

I got some of my friends who have never owned a console to play it when it got released on steam and they had a blast.

RE5 has definitely aged worse than 4. I was one of the people that actually really liked it when it came out but it's pretty bad coming back to it. I still like it better than 6 but that isn't saying much.

Yeah RE4 loving owns, the controls aren't as refined as later games but as far a level, enemy and encounter designs so it's second to almost none. Verdugo is still probably one of my favourite bosses in any game for how stressful fighting it is.

I'd recommend giving the first Ratchet & Clank game a pass, it hasn't aged well and its rerelease on PS4 includes a lot of the series' modern conventions. Likewise, only get the Shadow/Ico collection if you want to play Ico, since Shadow of the Colossus is being rereleased on PS4 as well.

Horizon speeds up or slows down the day/night cycle to ensure you're always at its desired point of day the first time Aloy encounters certain dramatic vistas. It's so subtle you don't even notice it at first.

Also, the PS3 HD remakes of Ratchet were done by a company of morons, so a lot of the visual effects don't work any more. Just play them on the PS2, if that's an option.

It becomes more obvious as you go through the game multiple times and begin to notice how there’s always a beautiful sunrise the first time you look out over Daytower or it’s always daytime with snow lightly falling whenever you reach the top of Maker’s End, stuff like that.

I'm sure that it won't be the best experience in the world, but I do have fond memories of the original trilogy (never got to play anything past it), so I'll pick it up for the ability to play through them again potentially in the future...at least until PS2 emulation/my pc gets up to speed enough to run them there for cataloging purposes.

Armored Core 5 and Verdict Day are the multiplayer ones. You don't need to play 4 to understand For Answer, but it's a fun game too.

Keep in mind that Ni no Kuni is a very bad game. It's gorgeous and charming, but the gameplay has some really major issues.

I guess it depends. It's BOTG as opposed to more recent games' hyper movement system. It's kind of a shitshow right now; changes made to the game in beta got deleted when it went gold, half of the features don't currently work, the connection quality is a roller coaster, and people have experienced the game eating their level progression and/or loot crates. Those are objective problems, not gameplay related and will probably get fixed.

Subjectively I find most of the maps the same tired rehash of 3 lane crap. Spawns are horrible, on smaller maps the enemy can run around inside your spawn area and kill you before you even have a chance to react without them flipping. The killstreaks are boring or useless. LMGs are total poo poo in this game, they were great weapons in BO3/IW. Changes made to the class system are stupid and most of the menus are unintuitive and clunky.

Having said all that if you prefer on the ground arena shooters there really isn't much else out there. I'd say redbox it for a weekend before buying.

RE5 is great. It sucks on ps4 compared to xbox, though because the second player can't do their own poo poo for no good reason. Like, in the xbox version, your inventory is tied to your player profile, and you can do all your own poo poo. On ps3/4, they don't access player 2's profile at all and it's just all player 1's profile. So even in coop you have to manage sheva's inventory stupidly. Like player 2 can't buy things or upgrade their own weapons, they have to unequip them so that player 1 can do it for them. It's beyond stupid. If my 360 disc wasn't missing, we would be playing it on that.

RE6 is unplayable because there is a cutscene literally every 10 seconds so you can't even play the game.

But that's what I'm saying. I never build up any momentum in the game because every time I go through a door or walk down a hallway there's a 5 second cutscene. 5 is about exploring large arenas. 6 is some kind of heavily scripted handholding bullshit.

I mean, i want to give it another shot, but my coop partner, who I've logged dozens of hours of RE5 with has sworn off it forever because the few hours we played of it were so lame. I've never gotten her to reconsider. I don't really blame her. It was really unengaging compared to RE5.
