Topic: Your latest PS3 Purchase

This probably won’t get a lot of use, but I’ve started using my PS3 a lot, so figured I start a new thread!

I had a £100 Cex voucher, so I went on a bit of a spending spree and picked up The Orange Box, No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, Rune Factory: Oceans and Silent Hill HD Collection.

I also grabbed Drakengard 3 from the PlayStation Store.

More recent ones were The Bureau: XCOM Declassified and XCOM: Enemy Within, with plenty in the backlog like all the PS3 Ratchet & Clanks and Killzone.

I've been going over some games that were specifically only for the PS3/X360 generation (minus PC ports) lately. It really takes me back, and it's interesting to see how good games back then can still hold up even now in terms of gameplay.

It was also an era of no microtransaction BS, but there are still games out there with failed "multiplayer pass" experimentation that got scraped hahaha.

Skylanders SuperChargers

It was my 61st PS3 games.

Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition

I played this via backwards compatibility on Xbox several years back, but I never played it on PlayStation. My PS3 copy of it is going to be arriving in the mail today. I'm not sure when I will end up playing it, but never playing it on PS3 before is as good of a excuse as any to replay it.

Enslaved

Not sure why I skipped it when it originally came out on the PS3, but that will be remedied someday now after finding a very reasonably priced brand new copy of it on eBay recently. Not sure when I'll play it, but I'm glad to have it and I look forward to playing it someday.

@KilloWertz I’ve been meaning to get that at some point. I really enjoyed it back when it was released.

I picked up Hydrophobia from the PlayStation Store for under £2. Not sure why it’s so cheap. The water effects still hold up extremely well.

@Bentleyma I still have Hydrophobia installed on my PS3 from when it was a PS Plus offering. I never played it though, and I may not after reading now that they never finished the story since the first chapter bombed. I'm guessing that's also why it's dirt cheap.

Very pleased to report that I've just picked up both Devil May Cry: HD Collection AND Devil May Cry 4 as my very first purchases for my newly-refurbished PS3!


Anyone who's known my presence on both PS and NLife will be acutely aware of how much of a Capcom fanboy I am. What started off as just a passing interest in Ace Attorney has quickly spiralled into me wanting to play almost every Capcom series I can (currently made my way through Ace Attorney, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Zack & Wiki and Ghost Trick so far!). And, other than arguably Resident Evil, no other yet-to-be-touched Capcom series has captured my interest quite like Devil May Cry. Fantastic characters, infectious gameplay, an utterly incredible sense of style and that signature level of lovable Capcom cheesiness all culminate to create an experience unlike anything else in the hack-n-slash genre. And for an absurdly cheap price of €18 total? I couldn't think of a better time to pick these up 😎

I'll most likely be documenting my eventual playthroughs of all four of these on here so look forward to the ramblings of a guy who's most likely going to get way too attached to suave white-haired demon slayers XD

I'm hovering over purchasing Dragon Age Origins for PS3 (with the DLC). I've got an urge to play a fantasy RPG and I'm too much of a cheapskate to fork out for Baldur's Gate 3 haha.

Such a shame this never got a HD rerelease, I think it would have done well. I hear it's quite rough on PS3, anyone got any opinions?

Got Avatar: The Video Game while I wait for Frontiers of Pandora. Can’t platinum it, but can get all single player done.

Deadly Premonition - so Colin has now name-checked it one too many times on Sacred Symbols, associating it with Alan Wake and Twin Peaks… I had to track a copy down. Love these obscure PS3 curios.

@colonelkilgore
Hope you enjoy and do tell me your thoughts on it, when you get round to it.
I gave it a fair shake but alas too rough for me, and I liked Twin Peaks.

My trophy percentage, 4% .... as I say I gave it a fair go.

@CaptD will do mate. Unlike most of my purchases I think I might try and make a start on this within a few months, my curiosity has been well and truly piqued. I’ll probably wait until at least 5% before I give you a shout though 😉

buying Mortal Kombat Deception digitally from my Playstation 3 PSN store to transfer to my PSP

Bought Ico Remastered

Just purchased The Club, Anarchy Reigns, and Unreal tournament 3. In the mood to try some 3rd person shooters

Bought a sealed copy of Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition. Had it on Xbox at one point, but never came close to finishing the game. I look forward to giving it a second chance at some point, especially with me enjoying the TV show so far.

@KilloWertz nice mate, the only thing I’d warn you of is it grinding your ps3 to a stand still… we New Vegas did with mine recently and I’ve heard Fallout 3 is much the same. If that happens try rebuilding your database, it was some great advice from some of the guys on here and seemed to work… for a while 😉

@colonelkilgore Thanks for the heads up. I have no idea when I actually get around to playing Fallout 3, as I'm not sure I want it to be my next game after the very lengthy Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but soon would still be good since I'm still watching the TV show (taking it slow).

Got Full Auto 2 a couple days ago. Seems fun so far, although I have other games I'm working on right now. It will probably be good for a break though.
