The Nique Brags About His new PS3 thread.

[Nique]

In a grand and expensive gesture, my wife has purchased a PS3 for me as an anniversary present. So far my game collection is comprised of;

Soul Caliber IV
Final Fantasy XIII
Heavenly Sword
Batman: Arkham Asylum

I'm geeking out over the WiFi features. We've got the PS3 playing media off a laptop. There was pretty bad lag on video but I'm not sure if I just need to wait for it to buffer or something? Maybe someone can clarify. Remote play could come in handy as well, although I'm still dissapointed that it doesn't work in reverse (PSP display on TV - you need special component cables) AND you don't seem to be able to play PS3 titles on the PSP when remote play is enabled.

Online play is AWESOME. I played Soul Caliber for like 2 hours against one of my RL buddies. Texting insults to each other inbetween rounds. It was a triumph of modern technology.

We are still using an old analog set though, and everything is meant for HD. I can hardly read any text instructions with this SD picture.

Any suggestions for ways to use other features? I also need game suggestions. Not that I will be buying anytime soon but it will be nice to have a list to work from.

Go nuts. That's all the advice I can really give you.

You can install and run Linux on it right off the disk.

In addition to several that have already been mentioned, Katamari Forever and Disgaea 3 have eaten a LOT of my time. Disgaea should work fine on a SD setup too. Hell it isn't much of a graphical upgrade over a PSX game really. Katamari however is HD and uses it as part of it's gamplay(lots of tiny things to roll) so it might not be great without a HDTV.

Could install Linux. Newer versions, which Nique's probably is, have axed that I think.

Query: What type of games do you like first of all? I may know a few that are good like Valkyria Chronicles but if you hate RPGs...

[Ecks]

Welcome to the fold, Nique. I know it suffers from It's Popular Now It Sucks but I would HIGHLY recommend Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and its sequel. YOU WILL LOSE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE TO THIS, ESPECIALLY ONLINE MODE.

Eternal Sonata is pretty, has interesting (though flawed) combat, and you get to play as FUCKING CHOPIN. That's badass in and of itself. I only played the 360 version, but I hear the PS3 version has bonus stuff. The ending doesn't make any sense, and everything is a musical pun, but I'd say it's still worth playing.

I hear Heavy Rain is a must play even if you don't like it.

God of War III if you're into that sort of thing.

Wipeout HD is something you should really buy. Little big planet is a must buy. You NEED to play it.

What

Have you been off the grid or hiding under a rock or <other cliche phrase here>? Welcome to what we've all been doing for years, I guess?

Soul Calibur is the best game to have for the PS3.

I have a solid collection. I recommend God of War 3, Infamous is a necessity, and virtually any game in a red case.
