If/when my launch fatty PS3 dies out, I'll know that any replacement Slim I end up getting will be able to play God Hand if I shell out $10 to buy it again. Although I could just dust off one of the couple of PS2 I have sitting around instead, or send the PS3 in for maintenance. Everybody should own God Hand, a physical copy or otherwise, just get it.

I'd drop $60 for the ability to play Shining Force 3 and Panzer Dragoon Saga in vaguely HD It could be worse. You could be one of those suckers that spend about $200 on a used copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga so you could play it on your Sega Saturn connected to your old rear end CRT that cost you less than the price of a new Wii game.

I remember my brother bought FFXIII at launch for some reason. He got 10 hours into it and then just quit because it bored the hell out of him. It now sits in my shelf as a badge of shame, never to be played again (along with Cross Edge, which I bought at launch and got bored with it three hours into it). I seem to have bad luck with PS3 RPGs that aren't named "Disgaea."

The Flying Milton posted:This generation has drat near killed the JRPG. I'm glad NIS is around to throw poo poo at the wall and see what hits. On the other hand, I have to keep a careful eye on any future NIS game purchases lately, and not for good reasons. While I enjoy NIS-developed games like Disgaea and Phantom Brave, I pretty much have to avoid games that are just NISA-published such as Atelier Iris and, well, Cross Edge. Nowadays I have to be careful when I see that NIS America tag on a game so I don't accidentally purchase something like Last Rebellion and Hyperdimension Neptunia. I know in a few cases, NISA is roped into some contract agreement to release a lovely game (as was the case with Last Rebellion apparently), but I would think that they'd stop trying to translate and publish every new JRPG regardless of quality. It's like they want to be the next Working Designs or something.

Tactical Grace posted:I don't know if I could get my friends behind Rayman to be honest. I'm thinking more action/fighting/fps (but open to suggestions). I want something I can play when I have friends over with some beers and weed. We keep taking turns on BF3, but its boring waiting for a go. I miss the days of split screen Halo tournaments. It's unfortunate that you don't want sports games, because there's NBA Jam. If you ever played the arcade or SNES/Genesis NBA Jam (T.E.) games, it plays pretty much like that, and it's about the only sports game I could ever get into due to how ridiculous and easy-to-play it is. Though I have that for the Wii and not the PS3 but it should be about the same (maybe better graphics but whatever). I'm looking at my shelf, and the only local co-op games I can find are all fighting games. Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat, Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 5, (Super) Street Fighter IV. That last one would probably be the best if you grew up with Street Fighter II. (I have no idea how old you are)

Now that I think about it, I forgot that the PS3 has Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, the best kart-racing game I've played in years that isn't a Mario Kart game, and that has four-player split screen (I have that on the Xbox 360). The only other kart racing game I ever enjoyed that wasn't Mario Kart was Wacky Races on the Dreamcast, which had the bonus of being both a good game and feature Wacky Races characters (I'm old). My friends and I do most of our local multiplayer gaming on either the Wii or one of the many older consoles I still happen to have, mostly the N64 for stuff like Goldeneye and the many good wrestling games it has. It'd be great if the 360 and PS3 had some more variety in local multiplayer games like the Wii has, but what can ya do?

SpacePig posted:It is. I tried the demo for the PSP one, and found it to be absolutely broken. The only problem with the PS3 one is that load times can be long. That sounds good, I don't mind long load times. I liked the concept of the game, but the PSP version is really hard to play. I only just got the PS3 a little over a year ago, so I'm still looking for various games to get for it. Already grabbed stuff like the Uncharted games, LittleBigPlanet, inFamous, various fighting games, etc. I have this thing about stockpiling first-party games is all.

Samurai Sanders posted:I'm never really sure what Kotaku is trying to be. Are they a blog that reprints Japanese game news articles, or an all purpose game website, or what? It's Brian Ashcraft's blog about how much he loves to check out Japanese high school girls, Japanese idols, Japanese cosplayers, and anime figurines. Everything else just happens to maybe be about games sometimes maybe. And sometimes it's Tim Roger's blog where he writes 5,000,000-word essays about bullshit, possibly relating to Japan.

Samurai Sanders posted:edit: Super Robot Wars OGS2 announced for publishing outside of Japan. THAT'S something I couldn't believe. Let's take it a step further for stuff that'll never be released outside of Japan. "Super Robot Wars Z Complete" remake for the PS3 and it'll make it to the states. Come for the Gundam Wing, Gundam 00, Code Geass, and Gurren Lagann. Stay for the Getter Robo, Xabungle, VOTOMS, and Shin Mazinger. Of course, this assumes Banpresto will get off their rear end and TELL US WHEN SRW Z2-2 IS COMING OUT DAMNIT

KimchiHead posted:I heard red dead redemption is vastly superior on the PS3 than XBOX 350. It's so much better, it may as well be an exculsive. I'd get that. Was it really? I ended up getting it for the 360 because of a bunch of random comparison stuff I saw online. Honestly, it's hard for me to decide which platform to get games on nowadays because it isn't as clear cut as it was back in the 16-bit days (Mortal Kombat on the Genesis for blood, Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the SNES for more screen, etc).

Scyron posted:PS3 only has 1 exclusive hideout for sam which sucks and is useless. You know, I played the game again when the Undead DLC came out, and I swear they patched in that "exclusive hideout" in the main game of the 360 version, since I rode past an area that had a hideout where there wasn't one before. Don't recall the name of it, but I'm assuming it was the same one as the PS3 exclusive one.

I always felt the physics in LBP felt "floaty" compared to other platformers. I like the game, but I wouldn't say it has the most rigid platforming physics.

Speaking of Yakuza games, I just bought Yakuza 4 from my local Wal-Mart for $10 new. No idea why it was in the discount bin, was it not good or did it sell poorly or something? I figured at $10 I wouldn't be disappointed.

axleblaze posted:I don't know why but I have an urge to preorder Hyperdimension Neptunia 2. I think the stress of this year has officially driven me insane. Don't encourage NIS America to keep releasing dreck like that in the US when they still won't release actual, good NIS-developed games like the PSP versions of La Pucelle and Makai Kingdom. I'm subscribed to their newsletter and every time I get an email from them it's like an almanac of bad decisions. Their latest one had them announcing that they licensed some anime I've never heard of, and then I remembered that they do anime now for some reason.

Great, they're releasing a non-NIS RPG on a dead system instead of an NIS RPG on a dead system, that makes sense. Why does NIS have an American branch anyway? I'm surprised they didn't pass on Disgaea 4 so they could bring over Love Plus or some poo poo. *angry about NISA*

The only thing I remember about Saint Seiya is that Seiya can throw like a hundred punches a second like Kenshiro in Fist of the North Star, sans the exploding-in-a-shower-of-blood thing. I really should watch it again, probably. I recall watching some of it in preparation of Jump Ultimate Stars on the DS.

Today I bought several new PS3 games for about $3 a piece, among other games for other platforms, at a local Shopko. For whatever reason, they were having a clearance on select few titles that they only had one copy of each. The PS3 games in question were Heavy Rain, God of War III, Kung Fu Rider, Modnation Racers, and Super Street Figher IV, with Kung Fu Rider costing $2 instead of $3 and they had two copies left when I was done. Check your local retail stores regularly for good deals, especially if you know it's a place where people don't buy video games from. The last time my local Shopko had a great deal on stuff that cheap was when they were clearancing PSX memory cards for $1 a piece when the PS2 took over. Also, is Kung Fu Rider really that bad? Everything I've read says it is, but I don't have a Move to verify it myself (but I figured for $2 I wasn't losing much). jabro posted:You know that saying when someone gets really screwed over the other person didn't use lube? Well the store didn't use lube but did use a condom..... made of sandpaper. I guess that explains why they had more copies of it than the other games, and at a lower price point.

ImpAtom posted:Did we ever get any sort of sales numbers on that? It really seemed to just have fizzled out upon birth. Dunno about sales numbers, but considering how poorly Sony marketed the game, along with how fast it dropped to a $40 game, I'm going to say it did really bad. I also just heard today that Sly 4 is coming out this week, and I didn't hear it from an advertisement or anything. Does Sony even market their first-party games anymore?

Not the whole "it's also coming to the 360 and PS3" part, because Rayman Origins rules and everybody should get a shot at playing Legends regardless of console choice. No, it being delayed to September sucks.

It's a good thing I looked around before purchasing any of the Telltale games. I already have Sam & Max on Steam, and it works well enough, so I'll just buy whatever other games on the PC as well. Had about $10 sitting on my PSN Wallet for the past two years, so I just bought the SCEA-published indie games and added funds to buy the remaining PSone Classics games I didn't already have.

Is the MGS Legacy Collection just a repackaging of the MGS HD Collection plus MSG4 and some download vouchers for MGS1 and VR Missions? Is it even worth it if you already own MSG4 and the HD Collection?
