So... what games are you working through on your PS3? - Page 5

Getting close to finishing the never-ending DQVIII (PS2). Absolutely love it, but this game just keeps going and going! At around 60 hours in, but I don't think I'm anywhere near the end yet.

Got medals in all cells on Wipeout HD. Now to get all gold on elite!

Also, trying to get into the new SOCOM, but damn that game sucks. Not only is it a bitch to find a game, but once you do, it looks and plays like ass!

Ico.

Finally.

Hoping to have it done before the Team Ico announcement at E3.

COD WaW - hit level 65 but on the fence about prestige

waiting for COD MW2

Deadspace. I'm at the medical wing slowly going insane lol.

PES2009 always finds it's way into my system.

Will be getting Terminator Salvation in a little bit and Killzone 2 for late night shooting (and hearing people b!tch about how awesome I am at video games)...

It's been a PSN feast lately:

Zen Pinball, HVBowling, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and R-Type Delta.

I got mine in xmas and finished Resistance 1 and 2 and working on Killzone 2 and Assassin's Creed. I also have MSG4 and Folklore but have not started them yet.
I don't have that much time these days to play games. But will eventually finish them one day

Watchmen

Worms

MC:LA

Mirror's Edge

and not so patiently awaiting inFAMOUS.

Does R-Type Delta support analog control? I tried to play R-Types I & II but no analogue support and I suck with the DS3 d-pad, maybe I just forgot how to use it.

Only D-Pad support. At least the DS3's d-pad isn't as bad the as the 360's d-pad. That thing's a beast and makes old-school shooters and fighting games impossible with anything but an arcade stick.

Hey, have any luck with Bionic Commando last night?

I'm 6th in queue using my method I told you about last night.


Anyways, RE5 for me. Finally got it. Got a few more chapters to finish up KZ2, and then maybe it'll go on the chopping block if KZ2 Tuesdays don't pan out. bioshock is also sitting on my coffee table, looking at me all sad.

I tried my Hori FS3 with R-types but there is an issue with button mapping. Guess I'll train myself to use the d-pad again.

Finished Valkyria Chronicles. now working on all the DLC..trying to get through some of those EX skirmishes is a nightmare.

Been on sacred 2 for a few days now.

Thinking about importing demon souls...all the chatter on here about it is pretty impressive

Since I just got my PS3 I been needing to playthrough almost every PS3 game, but i can't peel away from LBP and Killzone 2 MP. MGS4 is collecting dust

Metal Gear Solid 4.

It's a pretty good game but it doesn't feel like I can sneak as much as I used to be able to in previous games. I seem to just want to shoot everyone. Story is really nice though. Don't mind the longer than normal cutscenes at all.

How are you enjoying Sacred 2? I've heard mixed things about it. How are the graphics and gameplay? I bought it but I haven't yet opened it (it was on sale for $53.99 CDN). I'm just waiting to read more impressions.

Playing with my wife, we've recently finished the main storyline of Little Big Planet and are in the middle of the MGS level pack. After that, there are always user-created levels for LBP, but I don't know if there's another game she'll want to play. I'm hoping Trine might fit the bill.

Playing on my own, I'm on chapter 11 of Dead Space. I'll probably try Uncharted next. I also have MGS4, but since I haven't played the previous games, I will probably get the Essential collection before trying it. (I've got a big backlog of games: Fallout 3, Heavenly Sword, Siren, Valkyria Chronicles.)

Demon's Souls
Dead Space
Mirror's Edge

Sly Cooper 2 & 3
Shadow of the Colossus
Persona 3

I very, very, very rarely actually complete a game from beginning to end. In the last 10 years or so, I've probably only beaten about 6 or 7 games 100 percent. Maybe not even that many. It's not that I totally suck as a gamer, it's just that I'm always getting distracted by other games, and jumping on other bandwagons so to speak. There are tons and tons of games where I'm about 75 percent done with them, but just never got around to knocking out that last 25 percent, and seeing the end credits.

Having said all that, my New Years Gaming Resolution this year was to beat 5 games on my backlog list, before I would allow myself to buy any game that was released in 2009. I recently just beat 2 PS3 games. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Resistance: Fall of Man. I'm about 75 percent done with a number of Xbox 360 games that I'm still working on. Hopefully, I'll have 5 games completely done soon, so I can get Infamous.

Just wait till you get to Act IV!


Deadspace is really nice, the last chapter is a blast and changes it up a bit. Deff do Uncharted; still one of the best games this generation.

As for MGS Essentials, be prepared to put quite a few hours away for it (+/-40). Still, the story in it's entirety is awesome, and you'll have a much greater respect for whats going on in MGS4.

buying MGS Essentials was the best $30 i've ever spent.

If you don't want to buy the MGS Essentials (if you have the money you should) you can download the Metal Gear Solid database and just read the stories there. I thought it was a really good read before playing MGS 4. It was offered as a free download a while back on the Playstation store but I'm not 100% sure it's still available.

(Demon's Souls)I just got mine 2 days ago from Hong Kong...this game OWNS...me!!! It is really awesome. I've probably died at least thirty times, mostly from being careless and I haven't even gotten out of the first section of the map. It is very addictive, hard and unforgiving.

Still trying (slowly) to beat Pixeljunk Monsters. I pull it out every now again and try to beat another level. Can't play for too long though or I get the almost irresistible urge to throw my controller through the screen. I'm still having fun though, I think...

August '09

Resistance 2: Co-op and Competitive

Tomb Raider Underworld: Still have yet to start it

Buzz! Quiz TV: Gotta get me some trophies

Fat Princess: Pure cakey awesomeness

3 on 3 NHL: Fun and trophies

I lost interest fast with Fat Princess. No one on my friends list is playing it anymore, and the game is too much of the same for my liking. I like the look of the game and the concept (RTS combined with capture the flag), but in practice it wears thin.

My current fighting game binge continues:

Street Fighter IV: One of the few accessible fighters to new-comers. Looks great. Plays even better. Bummer that so few people are playing online. Hard to find matches on a regular basis.

BlazBlue: On a bit of a hiatus since I was playing too many ranked matches. Started to get too invested in whether I won or lost, and got too pissed at people who just play to win (and play cheaply) rather than play to have fun. Still my GOTY.

SSF2THDR: Really great game post-patch. Looks and plays crisply and sharply.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus: Don't know how I missed this series. Took playing BlazBlue to realize just how amazing the GG games are. Brilliantly manic and over-the-top. Great fight mechanics. Challenging, but rewarding.

Soul Calibur IV: The only other 3D fighter I've played much is Tekken 3, and a bit of Soul Calibur II. It's a bit jarring to jump between this and 2D fighters, but this is another game that I passed when it first released. Surprisingly active online community still. Good times!

That's why I like KZ2's online play so much. Most lobbies keep up the game-type rotation as well as the map rotation. Keeps things much more interesting. Strategies change. Maps take on different choke points. Etc. I also have to admit that I was frustrated by Fat Princess's broken online through the first weekend. Left a sour taste in my mouth that I couldn't get rid of.


That's the problem with any online fighting game, regardless of balancing issues. No fighter is perfect. IIRC, GGXX(AC) is famed for its impressive balancing, but even that game has some one-sided match ups.

The problem is that when you take a fighting game online, people become too competitive. I know that sounds silly considering the genre, but the genre is best when played within a community that adheres to certain unspoken rules and conventions. Spamming certain moves is frowned upon. Certain matchups are considered pointless. But online, there's no community to enforce those rules, so you end up with people doing annoying, obnoxious ****.

For example, MvC2 got old fast online. Way too many cheap ways to win. It's fun locally, but online people use every lame exploit they can. And, worse, the player mode (non-ranked) is still broken on PSN.
