PS3 Recommandations.

[Kuroshima]

I got a PS3 for christmas, and I was wondering if any of you fellow gamers can recommend some games for me? I am not a picky gamer, and will really play any genre of game, but my favorite type is RPG so if anyone knows any real good rpgs for the ps3, please tell me.

I currently own, Call of Duty: Moder Warfare 2, God Of War: Collections, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and Assassin's Creed.


Thanks To All Who Post.

[Shoeberto]

Resistance: Fall of Man
Little Big Planet
Metal Gear Solid 4

Those are probably my favorites that I own on the system. They're all pretty great.

[VeloZer0]

Disgaea 3 (I don't know if there is a demo on PSN)
Valkyria Chronicles (There is a demo on PSN)
Obviously Little Big Planet and MGS4 are a must have. (Though I can't say I'm a huge MGS fan)
I've never played Uncharted 1 & 2, though I hear they are the best the PS3 has to offer.


You should just go to the Playstation store and start downloading demos like mad. Thats what I love about the PS3 is I don't have to pay for online services (as I usually never game online), but I can still access a ton of demos. I download just about everything that appears in the store, even if I know I will probably never buy it.

EDIT: Do you have a 360? I've only mentioned exclusives here.

[Yeargdribble]

Flower on PSN. Seriously... get it.

Most of my other suggestions would either be obvious (already mentioned) or personal taste. Demon's Souls is great, but certainly not for everyone.

[Markus. D]

Disgaea 3!!!!!!!!
Flower is also fantastic, though a short game.
Valkyria Chronicles, etcetcetc.

[Mirage]

Tekken 6, yo.

[Rocket Edge]

Yeah Tekken 6. I was a little edgy about it when I first got it but I now realise how fantastic it is. The great thing about games like this is you can keep on coming back for more and more.

I would also recommend the Uncharted games. They are up there with the very best the console has to offer.

Little Big Planet was a waste of money, but maybe thats just me.

[Depression Moon]

Little Big Planet was a waste of money, but maybe thats just me.

It's just you. I also recommend Tekken 6 AND LBP. I haven't played any RPGs on the system though. The Orange box is probably the best value out there. It's 5 games in one.

[Madame Adequate]

Christ no, if you get Orange Box you have to get it on the PC. I do hear good things about Valkyria Chronicles (When I do get a PS3, this will be one of my first purchases).

[I Don't Need A Name]

Can't recommend Valkyria enough. It's awesome. Shame the sequel is on bloody PSP. Eternal Sonata isn't a bad game in terms of a Next Gen RPG.
LBP does look like a complete waste of time and money imo xD

[Flying Arrow]

I'm going to be picking up a PS3 in the coming weeks myself, so I'm in the same boat as you (topic creator). It'll actually be the first current gen. console I own, so I'm looking forward to seeing my grades and social life crumble because of Oblivion. If you're into any genre and will play anything, Oblivion or Fallout 3 will probably be the longest bang for your buck (I'm on a limited budget game-wise, so that's my mindset going into any game purchase).

LBP is a lot of fun, but I can't be sure if it's just the novelty of it because I've only had limited time with the thing. I guess your mileage will vary depending on how into trying out user content and building your own levels you are.

[JKTrix]

With little to no commentary, and leaving prior recommendations alone:
Burnout Paradise
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Hot Shots Golf
Demon's Souls
Get Yakuza 3 when it comes out in March

I'll leave folks like Dreddz to tell you about the downloadable games

[Levian]

Little Big Planet was a waste of money, but maybe thats just me.

We're at least two. It's an OK game, got boring quick. Definitely not a fantastic game.

Resident Evil 5
Silent Hill 5



edit: I just played three hours of Little Big Planet multiplayer. Decided to give it a second chance It's really not that bad in multiplayer! I suppose any game is great in multiplayer. Single player gets boring quick though.

[Slothy]

Christ no, if you get Orange Box you have to get it on the PC.

This pretty much. To my knowledge the updates to TF2 haven't even come out for the 360, and probably never will for the PS3, and there's not really any point in getting the game on a platform where you won't get access to the eight class updates and new maps and game modes.

I'll agree with everyone's recommendation of Valkyria Chronicles though, and without repeating anything that's already been said, I'll toss in Killzone 2, the Ratchet and Clank games, and Warhawk since it's going pretty cheap these days. For multiplatform stuff I have to recommend Blazblue: Calamity Trigger, Street Fighter IV, and Dead Space.

As far as downloadable titles, look into Braid, Fat Princess, Mega Man 9, Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, and the Pixeljunk games.

And I feel I must warn you away from Resistance 2. I liked the original quite a bit, but the second was one of the most poorly executed games I've seen (though the online was decent). The single player had poor pacing, poor story telling, some enemies that were downright cheap and was just not a lot of fun overall. Unless you absolutely love online multiplayer and can find it cheap stay away. Even then, Modern Warfare, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, and others are a lot more fun.

[Dignified Pauper]

Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment just released today.

Valkyria Chronicles is amazing, for 19.99 you can't beat it.

And uh... I dunno, Fat Princess erikramza and I play often with our headsets.
