/v/ - Video Games

Well. I guess you should try out Demon Souls and Red Dead Redemption first.

>>15483909

I played RDR (and pretty much every other multiplat of the gen) on xb360. That's why I was asking about exclusives.

Probably gonna start with God of War 3 and maybe grab Final Fantasy X

>I don't want to go to gamestop

Sucks to be you fag, find local shops or buy from ebay (where the prices are usually higher)

Gamestop is cancer but sometimes they're the best you've got for cheap games in good condition, especially during sales

Plus you dont have to feel much guilt since they're dying soon anyways

How cheap can you get a used PS3?

>>15483879

Nier

Drakengard 3

Yakuza 5

All those HD collections like ratchet, DMC etc

3D dot game heroes

Folklore

Ico and Colossus

Infamous 1 and 2

Metal Gear collection + MGS4

No No Kuni

Wipeout HD

Tokyo Jungle

Uncharted series.

>>15483929

paid $80 for a 3001B with 2 dualshocks, a charger, and 11 games. it's clean too, they still had the box and all that shit

Daily reminder to stay the fuck away from models higher than CECH25XX.

>>15484154

why? just for modding?

>>15484169

Yes. PS3Xploit HAN is not a suitable substitute for proper CFW because it's finnicky as Hell and if the server hosting the HAN shit ever goes down you're royally-fucked.

>have to use an obtuse workaround to install PKG files bigger than 4GB

>have to leave a flash drive plugged into your PS3 at all times

>can't actually do much at all homebrew-wise, can only play pirated games and PS2/PS1 classics

My personal favs:

Demon's Souls

Warhawk (servers might be closed by now though)

Gran Turismo 5

Wipeout HD Fury

VF5 Final Showdown (not exclusive but still…)

Lumines

Trash Panic

Super Stardust HD

must play games

MAGUS

and that's it

>>15484216

see vid related if you're too stupid to read

>>15484216

I hate to say it, but the ps3homebrew subreddit has a pretty decent FAQ/tutorial, I wasn't able to find a good one either besides that.

If it's backwards compatible get Ape Escape 3.

As for finding used games, haven't used Glyde in years, but I got a few games off it for a good price when I did.

>>15484326

Seems Glyde stopped doing games a while ago. Nevermind.

>>15484248

I meant that HAN isn't a proper firmware, and you don't have any other options if you're using a CECH3XXX model which is why I advise staying away from it.

>>15483879

Tales of graces F, 3d dot game heroes, katamari forever and demons souls.

>>15484326

There's a yuro/jap psn version of ape escape 3, you don't need to hunt down a fat ps3 or fuck with trash tier ps2 emulation on ps3.

>>15483929

$80 for mine too, a 200X I think with a dualshock and no gaems

>>15483925

last time I bought from gamestop was the two HD collections for $20 total, first game was pretty good and I'd say was worth that at least, haven't touched the others

>>15484445

I meant to say Kingdom hearts Hd collections

>>15483879

>Also where can I get used games for cheap? I don't want to go to fucking GameStop

If it's a slim, disable online updates and run minverchk to see if you've got a CFW-ready model.

As for cheap games, if you actually want to buy them, it depends on where you live. Fucking Gamestop's probably the most readily accessible for most people given how much they've driven other places out (to the point that, when I've visited family some states away, it's only that or a a store at least 30-40 minutes away by freeway). Can't fault you not wanting to give them money, but as they try to move last gen out, chances are they're going to be fairly cheap. Last PS3 game I picked up from one was 3DGH for $15 in a markdown bin (though it was probably the most expensive game in said bin, on account of not being a generic shooter, shovelware, or asscreed). Anyhow, as long as Gamestop still stocks for the system, in theory, other places should stock at par or lower. Might also check out used multimedia places if you've got them around; I'll admit it's a crapshoot in either direction in my experiences, but I have still managed cheap finds at them for stuff that's a lot more elsewhere (at the same time though they'll ask $34 for Folklore or Tales of Xillia). PS3 doesn't have much in the way of a collector/scalper market as of now, outside a few games (Afrika and Class of Heroes 2G being examples), but some games have been on the rise (Yakuza 3 and 4), while others aren't as easy to find but still rather cheap.

Sadly not every game has an actual physical release (be it worldwide or just for the west due to publisher leeriness), because that's the downside of systems having HDD memory. Also get used to forced disc installs, because shit rarely runs as it should straight from the disc (again, due to HDD memory).

>All those HD collections like ratchet, DMC etc

Should say that's more of a case-by-case basis thing. Some run well enough, others are worse, sometimes FAR worse, than the original releases.

>>15484745

All of them.

>>15484745

Silent Hill HD, for starters; that's one of the worst. Also ZoE unless its patched, but even that only fixes the second game (though to be fair, most fans seem to much prefer ZoE2 to ZoE1).

>>15484750

Nah, there are some good ones, like MGS and whatnot.

>>15484745

Silent Hill without a doubt. It's remastered without any of the source code being intact and being poorly remade from the ground up. I'd just emulate it tbh. I think you might be able to play the original versions on a homebrewed PS3, but I'm not sure. Emulation is really shitty on PS3.
