I'm Still Playing These PS3 Games In 2024, Here's Why

[@MercurysEdge]

I really hope this man sticks with old School gaming videos! I can watch these all day!!!

[@Isaacfeearrow]

Ahhhhhhhhhh yes, my new favorite mono tone retro KZbinr has posted. Bros been making me interested in getting a PS3 😅

[@windman95]

I got mine a week ago already 😊

[@GrmDark]

Get a super slim. Trust me from experience i can tell you you dont want to live worrying that ur fat ps3 will brick one day😅. Less moving parts, less prone to malfunctions 👍 PS3s are always worth it to buy and collect. We're in the sweet spot to buy and collect with modest prices 😀

[@kapnkrunch6833]

😂

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

​@GrmDark I got a red super slim a few days back. Pretty neat little console. I bought a PS3 slim before from the same buyer but that one had issues with the PSU and couldn't read a lot of discs. Super slim doesn't feel as premium as the OG or the slim but I'll take a reliable system over a premium feeling one any day

[@ropoles]

Bro I'm picking up my PS3 tomorrow, the Basement Gamer has shown me the light

[@jupton198828]

Finally got a ps3 and Mgs4 recently. I can't believe I waited so long. Amazing game!

[@GameFreak4Ever]

Games I completed that you mentioned: LA Noire Mafia II Burnout Paradise (most favorite racing game of all time) Sleeping Dogs PlayStation 3 was a great console and that era was a good time.

[@shineonxo]

Got the platinum for LA Noire. Great game and sweet soundtrack.

[@rehannoor4961]

ps3 is not a great console, but the game from that era is awesome.

[@Crystali10-q2b]

Lol you have much more games that are better! maffia 2 is great yes buyt not sleeping dogs..

[@pisstakecentral]

​@@Crystali10-q2byou are insane. Sleeping dogs is a masterpiece.

[@Asaylum117]

DIRT 2 & Sleeping Dogs were my recently most played games on PS3. It's incredible how good PS3 games are even to this day.

[@John-996]

​@@scatered1Well Sleeping Dogs, Maxpayne3, Last of us, GTA5 were during the last of the Ps3 days and really pushed the console.

[@Asaylum117]

@@scatered1 Considering most of the games aren't on Steam or cannot be played on new Windows OS. And since not everyone can afford a gaming PC or laptop, some people choose PS3 or XBOX 360 as an alternative means of playing those games.

[@RiotnRespect]

Mafia 2 is a gem! One of my favorite games of all time along with the first Red Dead Redemption.

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

After 11 years of not having a working PS3 after my second 40GB model YLOD'd, I got a red unmodded super slim. So very happy to be able to play my old games again on the PS3. I've been emulating with RPCS3 for years but I wanted that OG experience again. Got all my bases covered now with a PS5, gaming laptop and PS3. Got a modded PS2 Slim from the seller as well but that's moreso just to have it again rather than use it. I use my phone to emulate PS2 games. Was playing MW2 on hardened a while ago on the PS3, and RE5 and Dead Space 2 before that. I'll be going through the older God of War games again soon and I'll attempt to get back all the platinums I acquired back in the day (RE5, inFamous, PoP 2008, AC2) and also get the platinums for the games I never got like MGS4 and MW2

[@edgardls95]

No better feeling than hearing that trophy notification sound

Your drive for the classics has definitely pushed me into a hole of the classics. My love is the ps1 though and since I've been watching your channel, I've spent a lot of money collecting them. My aim is to get every ps1 game released in the uk

[@BasementGamerYT]

was looking into GTA 1 on ps1 not long ago, definitely want to pick that up soon

[@AnotherNormalYorkshireman]

@scatered1 I would like to do that but I am really not good at talking to cameras or myself. I'd probably forget how to talk.

[@AnotherNormalYorkshireman]

@BasementGamerYT it's a blast, I was playing it a few days ago. Something really charming about the simplicity of the ps1 compared to modern gaming. I'm currently playing through vagrant story, such a good game.

​​@@BasementGamerYT you should look for the GTA trilogy (GTA1, GTA2, GTA London). And have fun with the circle button.

Mafia 2 is a masterpiece, also please try the mafia definitive edition which also has very good storyline

[@mikewright8304]

Fantastic video man. Your delivery is spot on lol. I suggest playing Splinter Cell Blacklist. That is probably one of my top 10 ps3 games. Mafia 2 is top 5. Great story and gameplay. Keep the videos rolling man, cool stuff

[@GrmDark]

Burnout Paradise is worth its weight in gold👍

[@IzViprr]

Burnout Paradise is dear to my heart, im 17 and grew up playing with my dad, another street racer is Midnight Club LA is my fav of all time , real map, licensed cars/music, buildings in LA as of 2008, night cycle and police, GTA IV is also very dear to me.

L.A. Noire is one of my all time favorite games. I bought it 3 times. PS3, PS3 Complete Edition, and on PS4. Looks the game you have is the standard release. The artwork would have Complete Edition on it.

[@GameRangerReviews88]

Mate, I’ve been watching your channel grow and it’s incredible. I came in around the 2K subscriber mark I think and you’re about to hit 10K. Awesome work! I’ll watch the video after work (Australia) and leave another comment then.

Your doing a great job bro 😂 got me back into buying ps3 and ps2 , GET THAT DANTES INFERNO , RED DEAD NIGHTMARE, afro samurai , god of war 3 and ascension

[@SoaringEagle26]

And Sleeping Dogs is the absolute perfect shot of adrenaline mixed with an amazing story! I've lost count of how many times I've played that game since the first time in 2013 - currently replaying it on the PS4 port of the game, on the PS5 ✨️

[@Persona5g]

One indicator that serves the notion of games from the PS3 era and PS2 era being better than current gen, is when gaming magazines reviewed games during those gens, reply ability was taken into account. How many games on modern consoles do any of us always find ourselves going back to? For me, not that many I’ll tell you that.

[@thomas33355]

I wanted to recommend you to try out Saints Row 2. It's very similar to GTA, but different enough to be it's own unique thing. The story is great and still remains one of my favorite games 14 years later. Another classic that I'm just experiencing for the first time now, but that's absolutely blowing me away with how good the story is, is Final Fantasy X

[@pikohemara2743]

Glad you showed some love for Def Jam Icon! The graphics were solid and the gameplay and concept was good it just needed more faster gameplay close to Def Jam Fight for NY! Wished they brung back this series as well as Burnout!

[@colinfritz2241]

If you haven’t played these already. Max Payne 3 on PS3 and Manhunt 1 on PS2. Two of my favorite third person games ever

Me too. All 142 games in it.

[@kaedeshirtoto]

I'll say it again - You gotta check out Binary Domain - Bad frame rate at times but such a fun third person shooter in the vein of Gears of War type gameplay so much fun though. I'm also enjuoying Dark Void (Another 3rd person shooter) has Nolan North (voice actor of Nathan Drake) at the helm so it's definitely like a weird offshoot Uncharted feeling adventure. And above ALL OF THOSE. Get yourself SPEC OPS: The LINE. INCREDIBLE game and story

[@Retro_World064]

I really enjoy your videos and mellow tone you have. You remind me of a mob moss. I have stumbled across your channel today and just subscribed. I’m a retro game collector myself and my favourites ps2 games are. GOD OF WAR series , HEADHUNTER , Rune Viking warlord. Pilot down - behind enemy lines. I have played over 1500 games! I remember games from my childhood and that I can’t remember the titles of . I just remember little snippets and sequences of the game but can’t remember what the name was. Pretty crazy. Anyway keep up the videos

I'm playing Overlord, GT5 and COD3 at the moment on PS3. Prob my favourite console of all time.

[@vintagesimplicitytractors9464]

Mafia 2 was the first game I ever played. I still play it regularly for 360.

[@robo_t]

Here's the thing: Mafia II could've been so much more than what we got, a lot was cut out. There was going to be a campaign in Sicily alongside more chapters, you were going to be able to do more side jobs, it's even said in-game that you can buy a phony gun license, but you can't buy one and you don't need one to buy weapons. And that's just a few things they were working on. It's still an amazing game, one of my all time favourites. But if it was fully realized, it would've been even better Sleeping Dogs also could've been such an amazing franchise, a sequel would've been amazing to see just with what they could've done with adding new features and expanding the world. It's a shame the studio shut down, and they were making a sequel of sorts before. Still a great game.

[@LHGaming25]

After years i finally got decent enough pc and thank god for emulation developers & their amazing work i now can play PS3 games flawlessly and even at better resolution & performance. Been playing Red Dead Redemption , Uncharted 3 and MGS4 and having so much fun , i missed out on these games never my parents would buy me a console. So many awesome games that came out that generation and still holds up well by modern AAA standard

I'm playing Duke Nukem Forever for the first time and loving it more than I thought I would.

[@iraqicarbon]

Mafia 2 is one of my all time favorites, played it on release on my xbox 360 back then

[@JWUniverse]

Mafia II is one of the Best Crime games out there. Godfather II is second. LA Noire is CRIMINALLY Underrated, I put so many Hours into Burnout Paradise on PS3, PS4-5 Its insane. We need a new True Crime game. PS Pickup the ATV Game PURE, it reminds me of SKATE. More realistic and fun Game. 1 of 2 Games Disney released in the early 2010’s the other is Split/Second!

Sleeping dogs is my 2nd favorite game of all time! I have 2 game recommendations for you brotha! There both for PS3, 1.Enslaved 2. Wet

[@jordansis0257]

I still have my ps3 and play it from time to time. I mostly go back and play the Arkham or uncharted games but the game I go back to the most is probably the Motorstorm series which is unfortunately stuck on the ps3… It is so unique and one of my absolute favourite games ever and I really wish the would remaster it for the ps5 at some point

[@wowwhataworld.9590]

The Dead Space series, especially 3, are must plays. Burnout 3 on PS2 is a banger, has NFS: Underground 2 demo baked into the extras section and an awesome exclusively punk rock soundtrack. If you like punk rock, you'll appreciate it. If not, you'll absolutely hate it 😂. Another good video man, keep 'em comin'.

[@IISourAyyII]

On PS3, MAFIA 2 is the greatest game ever for me. You get all the dlc like Joe's Adventure, and the other characters, man it's a vibe. Back when dlc was new, and for $9.99 you got a ton of extra stuff. Anyone buying mafia 2 on disc should get the game with ALL DLCs

[@JammyGuns]

Along with dipping into God of War Ragnarok for the first time recently I've currently been messing around with the RPCS3 emulator, firing up some of the old PS3 titles on that. And truth be told it's an effort sometimes going back to the PS5 and GoW tbh... And I'm not entirely sure why that is. It's a fine game, there's nothing obviously wrong with it imo and I very much enjoyed the 2018 release also. But the problem is that games these days feel almost like overly bloated chores, indispersed with some really good bits. With these 7th and 6th gen titles there's more often a better balance between depth and overall game pace. It's been a pleasure rediscovering the ps3 and 360 over the last couple of months and building a nice physical collection of my favourites, plus those I missed out on back in the day.

Since you liked Rainbow Six: Vegas, where you're tactical and control your squad, i recommend these games.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and Operation Flashpoint: Red River, both of these are for PS3.
