Recommend ON! I'm getting a PS3.

[Dignified Pauper]

So, tomorrow, I'm going to walk into Best Buy with $160 in giftcards and use them for a fat PS3 Slim.

My question. I'll be getting a second controller and 1 headset, please recommend me two game purchases.

What I have considered is MGS4 and GTA4. But I dunno, I kind of want an RPG. I do know I will be getting FAT PRINCESS off PSN day 1 because, well, shut up and play it with me!

Anyway, I kind of want a great RPG. I heard inFamous is good, but only offers about one replay. Any other great games anyone can recommend. I thought about Uncharted because of the hype, but I'm not a fan of Tomb Raider-esque games, even if they did improve the entire genre. Just no.

Recommend GO!

Rent the new Batman game, get Bioshock and Fallout 3.

[Shoeberto]

Get MGS4. It's goddamn fantastic. I love it.

Umm, I don't have any RPGs to recommend. I haven't played any yet. Little Big Planet is great fun though. Resistance 1 is a wonderful game too though I've heard the sequel is lackluster.

[NeoCracker]

Valkeria Chronicles is easily one of the best SRPG's ever made. Definately a must buy if you are into the Genre. Same with Disgaea 3 if you like those games.

Infamous is an amazing title. Solid controls, fun powers, amazing story line, and beautiful graphics. Easily one of the top contenders for best ps3 titles, even if the fact Chainlink fences are your worst nightmare...

The new batman, while not having much replay value, and will only take a while to beat if you want to look for all the Riddler Side quests, is truly amazing despite it's somewhat short length. Smooth combat, awesome graphics, and amazing villains, even though I as dissapointed there was no Raz Alghoul(sp?).

And if you like the challange rooms, you will actually get a lot of replay value, but I wasnt' a big fan. I bought it day 1, and I felt I got my full 60$'s worth on it.

[Wolf Kanno]

MGS4 and Demon's Soul

[Crimson]

InFamous
Prototype
Soul Calibur 4
BlazBlue
Devil May Cry 4
Disgaea 3
Valkryie chronicles
Resistance 1 & 2
Oblivion elder Scrolls


This is what I would recommend.

I hear a lot of people recommend infamous. Some hesitation I have for VC is that, while I absolutely love SRPG's, they just get old really quick.

I've heard mixed things about Demons Souls.

Demon souls isn't even out yet, but apperently the biggest downside is insane difficulty.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I really love Prince of Persia. It might seem a bit repetitive and the plot a tad underwhelming, details tend to be more or less flesh out in optional dialogue, but it is simply gorgeous to look at. I heard the DLC dungeon fixes a lot of the complaints people have had, though I have yet to play it myself (the DLC not the main game).

[CimminyCricket]

Disgaea 3

[Moon Rabbits]

Well, considering the best RPG belongs to the X-Box 360 ...


Seriously. Mass Effect is sooooooo worth buying a 360 for. SOOOO GOOD. and I don't care how late I am to play this game!

But I'd get MGS4 and GTAIV for the PS3, really. They seem like they'd offer the most game time for the price, yoooooo.

[Pete for President]

Definately MGS4. It will drop your jaw. And it's platinum, so very cheap.

[Dreddz]

Ill have to give a nodd to MGS4 as well. Its one of the few games which doesn't feel like your playing a PS2 game with hi-res textures. Purely on a technical level, it'll blow you away.

And Uncharted is a lot better than you think. I dismissed the game for over a year, which I later found out was a big mistake. It isn't doing anything particulary new, but it sure is executed well. Considering its cheap, and its sequel is coming out very soon, I'd pick up Uncharted without any hesitation.

If its an RPG your after, Valkyria Chronicles will give you your fix. Wondeful game. Nothing else needs to be said really.

[Slothy]

Seriously. Mass Effect is sooooooo worth buying a 360 for. SOOOO GOOD. and I don't care how late I am to play this game!

I would never recommend buying a console for one game, and certainly not Mass Effect. It's good, but outside of the good character dialogue trees, the characters are pretty stereotypical, and the story is rather bland and over almost as soon as it begins. Combat is also kind of hit and miss. It's an above average game, but not nearly as amazing as a lot of people seem to think.

Definitely get Valkyria Chronicles for your SRPG fix. The big ones like Little Big Planet, MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone 2, etc.

I don't recommend GTAIV, but that's because all of the little mini-game stuff was so prominently shoved down your throat in that game that it actually ruined the basic gameplay for me. Sure you didn't have to do any of it, but considering they went out of their way to try and get you to, and punished you if you didn't, it just got annoying. Nothing like getting a call from your cousin to go play a terrible mini-game when you're almost at a story mission, only to lose relationship points and the benefits maintaining those relationships offer you when you tell him you're busy. In my entire life, this is one of only two games I ever hated enough to trade in, which is saying a lot as I was a big fan of the series on the PS2.

[Dignified Pauper]

Well, I think I'm getting MGS4 definitely, MAYBE Uncharted since I hear it is cheap, and then, possibly another game. I have heard some good things about inFamous too. OH such a quandary!
