I don't think I fully explored the PS2 library either so I still sort of feel like PS2 is the current generation in my life....

[@parissmith5727]

Visually impressive but boring and unmemorable, in my opinion, like a lot of Sony's first party stuff in the last ten years except for Bloodborne.

[@thisisnotachannel]

I grew up in the 80's. My first console was an Atari 2600... But the PS3 may be my favorite console out of all of them. So many great games, versatility in media playability, backwards compatibility with PS1 (and even PS2 on some models), lots of customization options... just a great console.

[@Pewpewpew182]

Still love this system to death. Need to beat Siren and Syndicate one day. This system holds so many memories, Kof 13, Tekken tag 2, asura’s wrath and so many more. Can’t believe it’s retro now :(

[@badazzboxer]

Its not retro, retro is at least 20 years old.

[@Jordan3DS]

I think the system has some good games, but I'm also sort of bitter since it was the beginning of games chasing casual gamers with endless tutorials that treat you like a moron, almost every game having brown/grey graphics, a majority of games being shooters/sports/racing games, and so many amazing franchises from the PS2 era and before completely died off because they couldn't sell in the primarily casual market. Some of those problems have been fixed since then with subsequent generations, but others are still an issue to this day.

[@Pewpewpew182]

@@Jordan3DS I can agree there, the tutorial nonsense did start during that era and it was rather annoying.

[@n0isyturtle]

My very favorite console of all-time (right there with Neo Geo,) and for good reason! What a beast of a piece of technology, they certinally don't make 'em like this anymore. Recently hit 400 games in my PS3 library, PS3 will never die! The ability this thing had in it's end-life able to push out games that looked as good as early PS4 titles, the fact it had backwards compat, the fact it has the BEST soundchip of any home console, and forward thinking technology built in. Just perfection.

[@AwRy108]

Fantastic work on this video! I was an early adopter of the PS3, and, despite its sloppy launch and relatively slow first year, my eagerness paid off because SONY really stood behind the system: it ended up having a phenomenal library, including some of the most memorable PlayStation exclusives to date. BTW, I hope the hypothetical “Part 2” shows some love to the InFamous series.

The PS3 is the console that I have the biggest sweet spot for. It's the first console I ever bought with my own money at launch.

Then I got Resistance and Call of Duty 3. Shortly after I bought Elder Scrolls Oblivion and I played that for a couple hundred hours. The last game I bought at release was The Last of Us.

PS3... it was the only system that ended up with a physical release of Strider, which ended up being my favorite game to play on the system. I also really enjoyed River City All Stars and Lost in the Rain. I also dug a few non-exclusives, like Teslagrad, Journey, and the Dungeons and Dragons Mystara Chronicles, since it brought back 4 player co-op.

[@lisley22]

Joe didn’t mention Resistance: Fall of Man. For me was a great game, but his disdain of FPS games is self explanatory.

[@mscottjohnson3424]

The PS3 is my newest console. I played games from the 8-bit days up until around 2008. PS3 was current then, but I didn't have one. I went low tech traveling up until about 2019 when I started to get back into retro gaming. I acquired a PS3 around Christmas last year (2020). Games are dirt cheap right now, I got most of the must-plays for less than $10 each. Good times!

Every second Sunday at 2am for you minus time changes. Sometimes we get a bonus episode on the off weeks!

[@Dagasm]

3D Dot Game Heroes and Puppeteer are probably my favorite PS3 games that remain exclusive to the system. So many others have been remastered on PS4.

[@juniorsanchez7441]

Truly the last great console. Great games, could have hundreds of games installed at once without running out of space, backwards compatible and didn't need to be constantly online to use!

[@parissmith5727]

That's an iffy assessment as it was the first console built from the ground up to support DRM based on the system's world clock. DVDs, blu-rays, physical games, downloaded movies, and downloaded games will eventually stop working when two things happen: Sony decides to close the webgate, and the console's CMOS battery dies. The PS4 and presumably the PS5 (perhaps already proven but I stopped following the story) are also like this.

[@NicolaAcoust]

@@parissmith5727 lol no. my battery is dead and nothing happened

[@parissmith5727]

@@NicolaAcoust It's because Sony's network is still running and your system can still refresh its clock every time you boot it back up.

[@GuyOnTheInternet53]

@@parissmith5727 no, not true. its been proven your physical games will still work. do some digging up on it for yourself. ps4 is different to where yes your physicals wont work anymore. its a useless console basically

As soon as that song from Shatter came on, I smiled. Probably one of the best game soundtracks.

[@BiohazardEXTREME]

I've been playing the PS4 and PC so much lately that it's easy to forget just how special the PS3 was, and how much time I put into its many excellent games. But I still have mine, so I will be revisiting it, especially since I have quite a few games on it that I never got a chance to play through.

[@GamingPlus10]

Joe, you talked about Demon's Souls, even after saying that you wouldn't out of spite. You keep us on our toes Joe!

[@Tpoleful]

He was probably talking to Resistance fans. 3 games in the ps3 and he didn't talk about any of them.

[@deadgamer6106]

He made it so much harder for himself not pressing R3 to lock on to enemies lol.

[@bahamutbbob]

Now I need to replay 3D Dot Game Heroes. I'm glad you talked about that one!

[@gryphonofmight]

I can't wait for the Wii U episode!

[@elbitxo5945]

Man, I love you covered so many lightgun games. I have a Sinden Lightgun that works with modern TVs, but play mostly arcades from previous generation. I have to put time into setting up the gun with those PS3 games, they look great.

[@blazingluke]

Man, the Shatter soundtrack is awesome.

[@RonnieBarzel]

Seconded.

[@Inignot12]

I still listen to it, that bassline is so distinct

[@jollyrogerxp]

It really is fantastic, still firmly in my playlist too...

[@DP12321]

Everyday Shooter too.

[@starpier]

Good work! I just like the simple and spontaneous approach of your reviews. Refreshing in this day and age.

[@TIDbitRETRO]

I just want a way to play Motorstorm again. I love that overhyped underdelivered tech demo.

[@XyNoST]

Still had a lot of fun playing Motorstorm at my friend's house when he bought his PS3 at launch !

[@doltBmB]

Yeah the PS3 was pretty open in it's design, allowing installation of Linux, using largely standardized ports for inputs, mouse and keyboard support (for the very, very few applications that supported it, like the built in web browser), and certain games could load custom content, like UT3 which allowed you to load full PC mods from USB, as long as they were within a certain file size due to memory limits.

[@Screwy]

29:53 Ebert actually rescinded this comment pretty quick when someone recommended him to play Shadow of the Colossus, and admitted he was presumptuous with his claim.

[@DeAthWaGer]

Well he was still dead wrong, and now he's just dead.

[@Uutama]

I love the PS3. Simply one of the best systems you can own to get a good deal out of your money for the content that it offers. Please make a second part showing off some more of it's amazing game lineup.

[@marakarthegreat]

I like the font of the early units better

[@XyNoST]

aka the Spiderman 3 font

[@KainDrake]

Puppeteer is such a great game. I kept hoping they would remaster the game after I got the yellow light on my ps3.

[@gledianlalushllari9577]

It's been 15 years and still no game even comes close to what they promised in Motor Storm.

[@DeegoL9]

This made me so nostalgic for my PS3 and the great library of games it has. Thank you for the great video!
