And yeah, Valkyria Chronicles for the best console SRPG in god knows how many years, and Wipeout HD for this generation's best racing game. Yakuza 3 is pretty good too, but that series isn't for everyone.
And I think that just about covers all of PS3's games.

Nope. I was going to rent it a long time ago, but the online achievements made me lose interest. I got my fill of big-ass ramps from Giantbomb anyway.
what online achievements. that u have to play with a friend? poor icono :fbm

How does that work on the PS3?
We can now guarantee that the full game patch will be acessible for any PS3 on firmware 3.50 or below. We can not at this time guarantee higher firmwares (3.55 or above), but we will keep you posted if new developments occur.
I clearly said "right now" dweeb
So you have to jailbreak it to get the patch to work? I'd rather not jailbreak my system, but I will more than likely import Graces F at some point in the future.
I am not rich you know. I know I will get FF13 in 2 weeks :rock :rock Wonder what's the 2nd game? I hope neither LBP nor Killzone :yuck

As soon as you get your PS3 beezy, send me a PM.
I'm getting a PS3 too from BestBuy tomorrow morning thanks to everyone copying amazon. :heart
I won't have anything for it besides PSN games for a while. At least my TV is HD though.

Sony is apparently going to start cracking down on game sharing or I'd be inclined to help out.
I want some psn games too! I'll play anything as long as is free :hyper
What's PSN game sharing? I would like to have someone share Flower with me :)

eh i don't know... everybody on the internet says that "DEMON SOULS IS THE HARDEST GAME EVER!" and i wouldn't be surprised if this translate into "demon soul is a game with tons of cheap death's" which is more or less what happens everytime the internet make such a declaration
and valkyrie profile is a SRPG made by sega,i don't think i could feel more repulsive about any other japanese game....
when i was thinking about weeaboo exclusive i was thinking something along more of the line of 3D-Dot Heroes but even when thinking of stuff like that,i can't see ps3 getting that much advantage....
Got 2 new games for Christmas!
Magus, don't listen to Himu's PS3 shilling. It's a trap.
Shilling? It's real talk.Himu with the truth bombs.

Himu is like a spider,don't listen to him,he only cares about handhelds
to update his 360 list
lost odyssey, last remnant, tales of vesperia,blue dragon,magna carta 2,infinite undiscovery
I have a feeling that sony will be forced to drop $100 on PS3 next year in US,that also means that EU will get one too.
Either way if you don't like certain system(games) just sell it,trade it for another,etc
Other than the crazy Afro-- what is this the 70s, SE? Sazh is actually one of the more interesting characters in the game, but then again, for FFXIII, that's not saying much.

demi where are you getting all these cheap PS3 games?
I think 3.50 is the latest jailbreakable firmware. Not 100% sure though. 3.55 is the latest update that's required for PSN and I'm probably just going download that, since Demon's Souls is 50x better online.Yep,you have to downgrade to 3.41
Depends on connection. Ask fistful for a good way to fix that.
Alright bros. What am I missing.
agreedDepends on connection. Ask fistful for a good way to fix that.
I'm curious about this, Fistful come post in this thread!!!!
a big problem with a lot of psn demos is that they're too damn big. To my memory, back when I had a 360, most demos were like 500 mb to a gig, right? On ps3, a lot of the demos are like 2-3 gigs.
The problem with PS3 -anything- is that you have to spend -another- 15 minutes installing a game before you can even play it.
Ratchet took 60 secs to install. Pretty harmless. GoW3 did not install anything, same with FF13.
I think only shit games like Killzone 2, GT5 need long install times.
Look at dem tits bounce... :drool
Is this a jRPG? Maybe it is only a summon animation?
Real talk, PSN is ass compared to XBL. You guys have been saying this for years, but I thought you were exaggerating how bad it was. Goddamn.

PSN fucking sucks, flat out. If/when Sony puts out the PS4 I hope to god they'll be smart enough to outsource the framework code because they're obviously unable to do decent job themselves. About the only thing it's got going for it is that it's free.And game sharing! That's the only reason why I have anything to play right now. I'm happy to see that Shatter is really good. I originally thought that it was being overrated.

I have a modded PAL system that was banned on Live in early 2008 (before the update that allowed you to install games). Then some months later I was playing Riddick: Dark Athena and my legit xbox crapped out so while waiting for it to be repaired I played Riddick on my modded system and it actually installed the new NXE OS off the disk before I could play. Now that modded xbox allows me to runn and install games to the hard drive.

I liked it a lot, even though it's nothing more than the original Legend of Zelda with shiny graphics and tons of nerd jokes.
At least I don't have to give sony money to use the internet connection I'm already paying for :smug
And that's why you'll always get a turdy service.
I wonder if Microsoft didn't do the 360, would PS3 even have an online system? Would it have been exactly the same as PS2 online?
Nope, not yet. I'm in the process of obtaining one. It's... complicated. Anyway I should have one this month, for 99.9%.
Played FINAL FANTASY XIII for about 1 hour skipping every fucking cutscene there is (don't want to spoil them in shitty SD res).
Pros:
- game is fast. Damn fast. Even though it has overworld --> battle transitions I think encounters play out faster than in FF12 which I thought could not be possible.
- game looks very, very nice. First impressions are pretty bad but the further you go, the better it looks. Beta Behemoth <3
- battle music is awesome! Very catchy tune, I hope I don't get sick of it soon :lol
- the ranking system is pretty ingenious. Instead of finishing every battle with as little damage to my party as possible I know want to finish *every* fight as fast as possible to score the highest rank. Pretty clever, kind of weird it wasn't in the series before. Let's see them rank Tiamat type of encounter from FF12 however :lol
- UI is sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick. Loving it!
Cons:
- for the first hour, skipping all cutscenes, the environments look all the same. Where's the variety? How long can one dungeon go on?
- people making fun of how much linear it is are 100% right. There's literally nowhere to go but forward. Straight line dungeons. How the mighty (FF12) have fallen...
- can't say a damn thing about characters yet (skipped every cutscene) but the black guy's battle poses annoy me greatly. He's some ballet dude or what?
- buying shit at savepoints. WTS Square? Where are HD Towns?!?
It looks pretty bad (SD res) in the first dungeon. But later on starting where Ghouls and Altima is, not to mention the frozen lake... it looks gorgeous even in shitty SD.
Can't wait till I get down from Cocoon to Gran Pulse. Shit will be mindblowing!
It's Final Fantasy, man. You take the good with the bad.
I'd be pissed as fuck if I paid $40 for this...

Finished Uncharted 2. Final Boss was horribly bad. Dealing iwth the camera AND jumping? Oh my word.
Finished it on Hard since Crushing was locked. Might as well have been easy.
Hardly any tombing, basically a shootan game.
Good environments, nice variety of set pieces. I would give it a solid 8.
I had lots of problems with controls and hit detection, when dealing with ledges. Especially during the last fight.Demi, are you gonna go for Platinums?
The shooting felt fine, I think. Also I can't believe we still have to tap X just to climb a ledge. Hopefully 3 fixes that... even Enslaved didnt do this, afaik.
if you can beat the first two demons on your first run in one hour, i'd say you're cheating.
but yeah, i need to get to demon's souls. i just haven't been in the mood for it.

Last fight wasn't that bad 'cause I figured out pretty quickly that you had to shoot the sap. Still, I hate boss fights that throw all the previous mechanics and strategy out the window.
I also felt that U2 could have used more platforming but at least it was fun to watch.
How did you feel about the controls? That was my main gripe with the game. The reticle just never felt seem to move at the right pace although that could be more of a problem with the Dualshock 3.

Jump from SD gaming to HD gaming is pretty incredible. Chapter 9 (on board the airship) looks unbelievably good, much better than HD Town from Chapter 8. The colours are so crisp and nice (red especially).

Go back to crying over being banned on GAF, loser.
Better enjoy it. No black people in XIII-2
Why would Sazh be involved? The whole game all he did was whine and cry about his boy. He's got it, he's getting away from all those crazy white people and living with his son - far, far away from them
and the rinoa is ultimecia fanfic is just the cherry on top yeah?
He is also presented as anti-Barrett. 0% racist bias and skew. Truly a normal character that just happens to be black. So very UNtypical for japanese devs...
Oh man, yesterday I wasted around one hour to beat one normal encounter.
I use Lighting, Fang and Hope as always. MED-SEN-MED when things are rough, RAV-COM-RAV to deal massive damage.
I simply could not win this fight.
I hoard the ingredients because I know for sure there must be some ULTIMATE WEAPONS for each character found at the end of the game and I want to upgrade them to the max.

Well there's your problem...
Seriously though you should have Vanille instead of Hope and she should be using an upgraded Belladonna Wand. Debuffs/Poisin make encounters much easier.
What? I gave an honest recommendation. Vanille's health is too fucking low and Hope is far better.
Plus, Vanille sounds like she's having an orgasm when she fights.
yea but sazh sucks otherwise while hope is still a kickass wizard and a decent medic
as i said it's all about striking balance

Nobody's arguing that the game's economy is perfect...
True enough. Upgrade system is even pretty good, now that I understand it :-[ Just that you need the Prima guide to "get it".
But traps cost millions.
you can do the same thing in FF13.
i personaly just don't understand all this love for big empty fields... it's just boring to look at and a pain in the ass to traverse
i want to play a jrpg not a sandbox game!
you can do the same thing in FF13.
I didnt know Hope could equip Lionheart sword... FF13 chars are more unique than 12's were. You knew who had their strengths and weaknesses, and you formed your team from there.
In 12, you could make an ultimate super team that spammed Ultima, equipped Ultima Spears (or whatever the fuck) with pussy chars like Vaan and Penelo. wtf?
Similarly, 13-2 will fix what people had issue with in 13 to what could be the best way it should have been played.
oh god don't do it,getting platinum means upgrading all your equipment,upgrading all your equipment means doing an horrible grind that is totaly dictated by chance
i stopped at 920 and it was the best thing i did ever
No, it's shit. It's the complete definition of a deus ex machina, literally, since God is actually involved.
The speech during the final boss before when the party turns into monsters is one of, if not THE most embarrassing moment in a game full of embarrassing moments.
At that moment, I realized,"welp i'm too old for this shit"
Borys did everything in FF12. He is clearly a better gamer than you. And his platinum will reflect that.
Also fuck Platinuming this game.
By the time you get all the traps and dark matter and such, you'll probably have enough gil to upgrade everything anyway. And even if you don't, I think you can sell everything you've already upgraded to get more money. I'm pretty sure that's what I did, but I haven't played this since it came out so I don't remember much.
Also fuck Platinuming this game.
Pussy... what else are you going to play on PS3? Hmmmm good question
In a feature story published today in Sweden, the founders of GRIN lay their studio's precipitous demise at Square Enix's feet, saying the publisher reneged on payments during the development of a Final Fantasy game and saddled them with ridiculous requirements as the project went sour.
This is according a story (translated via Google) published today by Aftonbladet, an often provocative tabloid but, with 1.2 million readers, a newspaper of record for Sweden. In direct quotes, co-founders Ulf and Bo Andersson allege that Square Enix didn't pay a cent on a roughly $20 million (USD) contract for "Fortress," (concept art pictured) the code name for a Final Fantasy spinoff that diverged from the series' JRPG roots. The Anderssons say they met all project milestones up to the company's August 2009 bankruptcy.
As the relationship deteriorated, the Anderssons say Square Enix sent them a strange demand: Fax us the game's code, including the project's music files. "It is as silly as it sounds," Bo Andersson said (Google translation.) "It is an impossible requirement, you can not send ASCII or binary codes on the fax. It is backward. Really distinguished mentally-challenged. It was almost a criminal activity."
Square Enix then said GRIN had not been sending its milestone work to the right department, that it should have been filed with the publisher's legal division, an unusual requirement. Square Enix also started complaining that they didn't like the game's Nordic style, even though they'd asked for that at the outset, and is presumably why they went to GRIN in the first place.
Feeling like they'd been set up to fail, GRIN sent Square Enix an image taken from Final Fantasy XII saying it was a production shot from "Fortress." The Anderssons say Square Enix replied "It does not look like Final Fantasy."
"Then we realized that whatever we do ... they have decided," Bo Andersson said. (Google translation).
The remainder of the story chart's GRIN's rise and fall and the Anderssons' resulting debts and disappointment, especially in light of successful Swedish developers such as DICE (Battlefield) and Markus Persson, the creator of the indie hit Minecraft. Again, it's a Google translation, but the piece is reasonably straightforward and readable.
"We wanted to come in and revolutionize Final Fantasy, which is exactly what they need," said Andersson. "The latest version sucks of course."
even with maxed out character i had tons of problem killing shaolong guis consistently,they just use bay and then everybody is dead
and when i finaly kill one it drops nothing
stupid game >:(
Aren't they always.In ff8 you could atleast use them to refine items
