Hey Liam, you got a mic for your PS3?

747Music · Post by **747Music** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:19 am

I think I'm gonna reach my goal of 2000 trophies by the end of the year.

Can't wait for Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Uncharted 3, and Batman: Arkham City. Oh! I must mention the Metal Gear Solid HD collection coming out soon. It's gonna be a great gaming fall/winter.

I'm currently playing Infamous 2. It's pretty cool so far. Some nice new abilities and challenges. It's a little repetitive, but still a solid game.

Anyone else gonna be playing the Battlefield 3 beta on PS3? It starts tomorrow. If you haven't already done so, add me on PSN. My handle is Erez747
We can create an elite squad of twoism members and take on the opposition. lol.

Cheers.

I do have a high end gaming computer so I do have some games for PC. Like Starcraft 2, Oblivion, Bad Company 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, and a few others. As for my PS3 collection, I have 50 games on the dot. The only crappy game I have on PS3 is Where The Wild Things Are. The rest range from 'pretty good' to 'awesome'.
I usually pirate games on PC and buy them for PS3. I just love the PS3 controller, and of coarse, the trophies play a part in my wanting the games for PS3.

Couldn't afford the PS3, too expensive so I decided to buy a Xbox 360 (also because piracy). I don't regret it however, aside from a handful of exclusive titles such as Demon's Souls or The Last Guardian.

Anyways, right now I can't see the point in owning a console this gen, maybe the Wii because it's awesome, but PC is the ultimate tool for gaming these days.

Technically, would be last gen.

Wii is about two or three generations behind now.

How do you mean Rodheh? The Wii's successor has not been released yet, therefore it's still current generation. How did you reason that it's 2-3 generations behind? Graphics card-wise?

Word, all current consoles must be current gen until the new ones come out...I'd assume? Not touched my PS3 for a while but the ICO/Shadow of Colossus HD edition is coming out, tempted!

I just bought the ICO & SotC collection. Played the first 20 mins of ICO. They did a great job making this HD. The textures are a lot better than the PS2 version. Can't wait to start SotC.

Yes. Consumer hardware has surpassed several generations in this regard.

Crysis was just released on PSN today. I got mine. Will play tomorrow.

pointlessdude · Post by **pointlessdude** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 4:05 pm

Crysis is one hell of a game, too bad this will probably be a shitty console port.

It's actually quite good. the nano suit controls are basically the same as Crysis 2, and the rest of the features are really well done. The graphics are great, the sound is spot on, the gameplay is fun, plus trophies and a price tag of $20... definitely a recommendation. And I never actually ended up beating Crysis on PC, so I'm excited to see what happens.

Arkham City in less than 2 weeks!

My PS3 collection of games is at a total of 52 games, and it's gonna have a growth spurt soon with all these awesome games coming out this fall.

Never had a PC that could run Crysis properly, so I'm kinda tempted by the PSN release. How much HDD space does it need? I'm on an old 60GB first gen PS3 and I'm getting low on space!

Mind you, all other games will be taking a back seat as soon as I get Dark Souls tomorrow.

I think Crysis is around 4/5gb. Dark Souls is supposed to be amazing but just as hard as the first one, which I found TOO hard!

Crysis was just over 3GB to download.

pointlessdude · Post by **pointlessdude** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 7:05 pm

I'm picking up Dark Souls tomorrow as well. Never had any chance to play the first, but the idea of playing a whole new RPG is most tempting -I don't expect it to be as good as The Witcher 2, still I'm sure I will enjoy it.
