I have a decent PC and a Switch, but still got an X for a couple of reasons: 1. Backwards compatibility is just awesome and many OG/360/One games are actually still available on the MS store which is very cool. 2. Emulation on dev mode, niiiice. 3. Somewhat compatible to my pc. On the one hand im kinda surprised how little of my owned games are displayed on my pc library, but hey, when it works, it works. 4 Gamepass. I absolutely HATE subscription models, but i have to give it to microsoft that gamepass is actually quite remarkable. Games on day one, maaaany discounts on game purchase (some very big ones too), console-remote/cloud gaming on pretty much any device. Nice, microsoft. 5. Couch gaming. I get tired of sitting at my pc desk and i want to be able to play more than just nintendo games on my docked switch at my tv. Thats where the console comes in. 6. GTA6😅

For a while I was thinking about buying a backwards compatible PS3 so I could play PS1-3 games on one system, then after doing some digging I learned they’re quite literally dying. I unfortunately lack the skills necessary to repair a console. I decided to turn to emulation instead, and so far the games I’ve been playing are a lot of fun. Too bad the PS5 isn’t backwards compatible with physical disks going back to the PS1. If it was I’d buy one yesterday. As it stands aside from Astrobot, Ratchet and Clank (PS4 remake. Rift Apart is on Steam), Octodad, and a few others there’s nothing that really wows me the same way games form the PS2/3 era do. The current Xboxes can play a good chunk of the games going back to the original console, and people have gotten RPCS3 working on Android, so there’s no excuse for this to not be a thing. The Resistance trilogy is a lot of fun. I love how the weapons are all crazy and have alternate firing modes. Too bad shooters are homogenized now and you don’t see big games experimenting anymore (one area where homogenization is a good thing is in the controls. If I couldn’t rebind the controls to resemble Halo I would’ve noped out in the first level, because the default controls are garbage/clunky). It’s definitely interesting/weird how Insomniac radically changed the health/weapon system with each game. That series is a lot of fun with a bunch of cool ideas, but it’s no “Halo Killer” (the only thing that could kill Halo is 343. Since that statement is incendiary I’ll throw gas on the fire by adding that Forerunners are human, and Rampancy went by the Marathon definition and NOT ai schizophrenia/dementia). If they were to build on the foundations of FoM and had vehicle sections in 2/3 I’m sure the series would’ve done better. It also would’ve been nice if weapons upgrading through use like in Ratchet and Clank should’ve been there from day one.

Just get a PS3 super slim (bulletproof design despite bad press from everyone) and get cheap mini PC to play anything up to 6th Gen console. Roms are still easy to get atm but pretty soon those will be hard to find so build asap.
@tacos44195 күн бұрын
Why do you need it to be backward compatible? The PS3 is a great system with a great library, and first and foremost, it's meant to play PS3 games. Many PS2 users are afraid that if they don't buy a backward-compatible PS3, they won't have any PS3 games to play. There are literally tons of great PS3 games. Every PS3 can play PS1 discs anyway. I still think the best way to experience PS3 games is through a PS3, as emulation doesn't support all games; it supports some games with issues and barely supports multiplayer. One of the reasons the PS3 was so great was because of the awesome multiplayer modes in addition to the story modes. More multiplayer games keep getting revived. In my opinion, the best way to enjoy PS3 games is with the most recent and reliable PS3 Super Slim consoles. If playing PS2 games on a PS3 is important to you, you can get the latest PS3 Slim that supports CFW jailbreaking (these Slims are still very reliable), allowing you to access almost all PS2 games and every PS3 game for free.
@tacos44195 күн бұрын
By the way, if you are looking for a true "Halo killer," try playing Killzone 2, especially Killzone 3 and Killzone: Mercenary. While these games didn't "kill Halo," they are better than Halo in many ways.

There's nothing exciting like the generation of the 360/PS3. I mean that gen saw Gears Of War, Bioshock, Saints Row, Modern Warfare, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Uncharted, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet, Assassins Creed...those were all new IP.

Hey dude, at some point do you think you could make a video about PS3 games that you really like but probably not a lot of people know about? I have about 45 ps3 games, and I'm looing to fill out that collection a bit. I have the bread and butter PS3 games (Resistance, MGS4, Uncharted, God Of War) etc. I'd love to find games that are fun but aren't talked about that much. For instance, I picked up Mini-Ninjas, Gundam Breaker 3, and Everybody's Golf 6. Those games are great! I'd definitely also recommend Ninja Gaiden Sigma to any PS3 owner! I think collecting for the Wii is especially fun because there are so many fun, cheap games that most ppl have never heard about :)

I've been going back and forth between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 lately because of all the stuff companies are pulling nowadays. For me, the best time I had playing games was in the sixth and seventh generation of consoles and I am eager to go back to it. No massive patches, discs actually contain the games on them, no intrusive ways to spend even more money, not every game gets three season passes, good games released more frequently, you didn't have to wait five years for a sequel and most important of all, gameplay was king. Some other games worth mentioning: Saboteur, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, Crackdown 1 and 2, Amped 3, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Chromehounds, Beautiful Katamari, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Conan, Dante's Inferno, Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Stranglehold, Sleeping Dogs and Test Drive Unlimited 1 and 2.
