Flower? My most bizarre memory of SixAxis is the revelation that it controlled the camera in Noby Noby Boy. Made zooming in and out like casting a fishing rod.

Thankfully a few games also had the option to disable Six-Axis controls, examples I think were found in Killzone 2 and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. I'm particularly grateful for it in RaCF: ToD because the falling sections were unwieldy as heck, where it was just more innocuous in KZ2.

Folklore also used SixAxis. You fight enemies normally but when they're weak you hold down one of the buttons and use a timed waggle to capture them. It worked fine and I didn't find it all that annoying to do. The game as a whole isn't that great though.

The sizaxis sniper scope wobble in KZ2 could actually be used to great advantage. It was sensitive and allow for sudden minor movements that the analog stick just could not do.

I'm pretty sure Ghostbusters for the PS3 used the SixAxis as optional controls for ghost wrangling, but I can't be positive about how good it was since it's been a while. As an aside, Ghostbusters was so loving good why is there no sequel yet? And don't give me that bullshit top down shooter on PSN as an answer because I will end you.

Motion controls suck for the most part, but table tennis on Sports Champions is just amazing. If you could pickup a move, camera and Sports Champions for like $20-$30, I'd definitely say do it just for that.

drat, Catherine's later levels get really random at points. I often find myself spamming undo to re-roll and hope for an easier time (or get insta-killed by a boss ). It's really retarded that they only tell you midway through the game that stopping when hanging on the backside of blocks switches your direction. That confused the gently caress out of me. Also, Erica... how did I not see that coming

If that Sharpshooter bundle had Time Crisis instead of Goldeneye or Killzone/Resistance I totally would have bought one for the $80 or even $100 I kept seeing them marked down to.

I was at my brother-in-laws house and bored as hell and the only games he had to play were Call of Duty and Cabela's Dangerous Hunts. Cabela had you literally flinging the controller up 90 degrees to dodge hyenas or lions or some poo poo. That poo poo was ridiculous.

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise is the game that's going to convince me to get a Move. Not because it's a game originally made with motion controls in mind, but because having to press in R3 to start a finishing blow motion on every enemy is such a pain in the rear end when using a control pad. Should have been mapped to a shoulder button or removed completely, letting you just push the right stick in whatever direction you need to without hitting R3 first. It's not like you'll be screwing around with the right stick much during combat so the confirm press really isn't necessary when you're using a pad. The game works well with a controller otherwise. As for the Sixaxis resetting your cammo in MGS4 by shaking it and doing the tablecloth pulling trick in Toro: Let's Party were pretty good uses. The feature isn't strong enough to base a whole game around it but when used for little things like that it's a neat gimmick.

I thought the same until I spotted the game in the bargain bin for 5 € and actually tried the thing. The game is just loving unplayable. Nowadays you can even choose not to use the SixAxis, but it's still incredibly clunky and finicky and sluggish and ohadsfjuhggggh and the level design is pretty horrible as well. A real shame, too, because really, flying big rear end dragons and poo poo should be awesome, and I especially liked crashing into the middle of an enemy infantry army and just throwing dozens of soldiers around like they were nothing

According to Joystiq, Jet Set Radio will be an HD version of the game, not a remake, and it will be called by its correct name instead of Jet Grind Radio that us Americans got back when it came out. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/28/jet-set-radio-tags-xbla-psn-pc-this-summer-sega-holding-graff/ quote:Sega's extremely subtle teaser turned out to be for an update of Jet Set Radio after all! Sega is re-releasing the beloved Dreamcast skating/vandalism action-adventure this summer on XBLA, PSN (for PS3), and PC download -- under the proper name. None of that "grind" nonsense. The in-progress screens show an HD presentation that looks just like the original, but smoother.

Chemtrail Clem posted:Whats the best JRPG on PS3? Are there any good ones?? Thank you. You got a few choices; Resonance of Fate, Disgaea 4, Final Fantasy XIII-2 (although I disagree with this one, I admit i'm in the minority). There are a bunch of PSX titles on PSN too.

I haven't played much of it, but I always hear that Resonance of Fate is pretty unique and fun and from what I have played of it, I don't really have any reason to disagree. Aside from that, despite looking for them pretty hard, I haven't found much in the way of JRPGs that aren't garbage. I've heard mixed things about White Knight Chronicles that were too far on the negative end of the spectrum for me to go pick it up, and Final Fantasy 13 is really you love it or you hate it. I enjoyed it up until Gran Pulse (~18 hours in I think? probably more) and then it really started to wear on me. I'd have actually preferred it to stay as a hallway the entire game, but I'm probably in the minority on that opinion. No clue about FFXIII-2, haven't really looked much into it. EDIT: Disgaea 4 is excellent if you like SRPGs, but they're not really the same as the standard JRPG so I didn't think to mention it. If it's your cup of tea though, you'll probably love it, especially if it's your first time coming into the Disgaea series.

If I can piggyback on this, while I've heard awful things about White Knight Chronicles, the second game is down to 30 bucks on Amazon right now (I think it was even 20 at one point), is it so bad that getting both games for 25 or so is still not worth it?

WKC2 actually includes a remake of the first game as a bonus, if I remember right. So if you're still really interested, you want that at the lowest price you can get.

Valkyria Chronicles, Resonance of Fate, and Disgaea 3/4 for SRPGs Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, and Folklore for ARPGs ...and I can't really think of any good Turn Based RPGs, maybe White Knight Chronicles 2? I dunno. Edit: I bolded the games I personally think are outstanding examples of the genre.

I'd definitely like to figure this out myself too. I've already got a good chunk of things to play through once I get back to my PS3 (why did somebody have to mention Rune Factory, I can already feel all my free time disappearing), but I wouldn't mind having it to play when I have a lot of time to kill.

Nier is an action RPG and one of my favorite games on the system, so I'll recommend that. I also plan on getting WKC2 once it gets into maybe the $20-30 range, but it's still $60 in Canada. Hopefully once it gets that cheap everywhere a few goons will have it and we can do online content.

Chemtrail Clem posted:Hmm, I do like SRPGs and have never played Disgaea games before so that sounds cool, thanks all. My previous experience with SRPGs was pretty much just Final Fantasy Tactics and I was absolutely glued to the Disgaea series when I got around to trying the first game out. It's worn on me a good bit, but I'd blame that more on me having played several hundred hours of the series more than as a fault of the games themselves. Disgaea 4 has a ton of stuff changed since the old ones that makes the old ones pale in comparison, but I'd definitely suggest it over the rest of the games for someone just coming into the series. I guess I should say that the story is pretty ~anime~, but it's not so bad and hardly the draw to the games, especially since the post-game has little to no story associated with it.

I'm just about to finally start Nier since it just dropped through my letterbox. I'm pretty excited, I've heard very positive things about it. Speaking of which there isn't anything permanently miss-able in it is there? I'm guessing not with the fact that you need to replay 4 times for all the endings.

You shouldn't feel bad about this, though, because most of the sidequests are filler and a terrible grind designed to wear down your soul to a ruined nub. I got the second ending (two playthroughs) in under 15 hours. Also, play on Normal mode. Hard mode is designed for that second loop or higher - sheep can one-shot you on Hard if you skip straight to it. Just enjoy the ride. Don't grind, don't obsess about sidequests, and learn to love the weird and broken characters.

Star Ocean 4, Eternal Sonata, Enchanted Arms and the Final Fantasy 13 games are all perfectly serviceable JRPGs that have mediocre to terrible stories and divisive characters. With the exception of FFXIII-2 they're kinda dirt cheap to buy nowadays as well so that's something I guess If you want something a little different, the Atelier games are pretty cute, i've only played the first game (Atelier Rorona) but i've heard that the second one (Atelier Totori) has a lot of great improvements that make it really fun to play Actually I probably should have bought that game instead of FFXIII-2
