are motorstorm apocalypse or motorstorm pacific rift big step ups from the original?― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten)
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten)
Nah - they are kind of the same. The most different is the third one because the tracks have elements that change / destruct each time you race through it, plus it has a horned in story mode. Handling and crashing is the same throughout all three, pretty much. Pacific Rift has some good tracks. The bummer is that the first two games have lost their online servers & really half of those games was the multiplayer - single player is kind of boring after not too long (not enough tracks or variety or something).
The Motorstorm RC game is my favorite though (and it doesn't have online except for leaderboards).

i'd definitely like to hear some more PS3-exclusive recs too. Yakuza games? White Knight Chronicles or other RPGs? PSN stuff?

Tokyo Jungle is very very silly but also a lot of fun if you like vague post-apocalyptic animal simulators

forks still said my favorite thing ever about TJ:
i have unlocked the gazelle, the cat, the beagle and OMG the chick which is like controlling a bumblebee and instadeathmy cat is kind of a badass now. I took down a dairy cow. here's how bad the graphics are: i initially thought it was a panda.it should be noted that everytime you breed, the game restarts with those stats... even though it doesn't tell you that!
― "Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:09 (eleven years ago) link
the hilariously bad graphics are a definite bonus for Tokyo Jungle.

i will cosign Journey, Tokyo Jungle and Sound Shapes as must buys especially given they equal roughly the cost of one triple A gameOh and if you're digging you should get into all the old pixeljunk games, they hold up

best JRPG is Valkyria Chronicles, beautiful watercolor artwork, plays like a strategy RPG like Fire Emblem or FF Tactics but without the grid. steer well clear of White Knight Chronicles and FF13, both terrible. 3D Dot Game Heroes is ok if you want an oldschool Zelda fix. Ni No Kuni is gorgeous, battle system gets a bit repetitive after a while though.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah, Valkyria Chronicles! i keep forgetting about that, been wanting to play that since forever.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:19 (eleven years ago) link
valkyria is awesome

i am half in love with quantum conundrum but it has some of the worst first person platforming EVER. its a fucking puzzle game, don't make me do the same sloppy 1st pers jumps a bunch of times in a row after i figure the puzzle out.
#1 complaint abt puzzle/platformers in general, esp when combined with front perspective. not far into it yet, but that closure thing on ps+ seems to get that right, jumping as game design, not player torture.
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
i may go back to QQ, but the jumping did frustrate me. honestly it really remind me of much Portal got right

ok so...bought 5 more games on the cheap yesterday:
motorstorm:apocalypseuncharted 1uncharted 2enslaved3d dot game heroes
no i havent bought wipeout hd yet, and for that i apologize
any thoughts on these? only had time to play uncharted 1, and so far i really like it! manages to pull off the semi-indy funny adventure vibe without being hamfisted about it, and only had to endure one irritating timed platforming section so far. combat seems like it might suck a bit, but i am hoping that aspect is sorta downplayed in favor of tomb-raidery puzzle platforming.
oh duh and i also played the first part of enslaved, and liked what i saw, but got to that point of tired where my skills radically slip so i quit before getting much further than i did when i played the demo.
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 8 March 2013 16:28 (eleven years ago) link
if you like uncharted you're gonna love 2.
― zero dark (s1ocki), Friday, 8 March 2013 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
am i right in thinking that the combat is going to be pretty limited, or does it get better if not?
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 8 March 2013 16:32 (eleven years ago) link
the clerk at gamestop slipped me a GOTY version of uncharted 2 with sort of a wink wink vibe, which seemed cool until i realized that the bonus content all seems to be multiplayer based, which uh who gives a fuck
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 8 March 2013 16:33 (eleven years ago) link
uncharted 1/2/3 are all the same shit which is basically interactive indiana jones movies so ymmv but it's fun to show what hte system can do.enslaved got old fast for me. Same for 3d dot heroes unfortunately; it just wears thin. maybe i need to retry it.
― the 'dirty sprite' is implied (forksclovetofu), Friday, 8 March 2013 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
why are you wasting your time with this shit when you could be playing Wipeout HD
btw did you know you can upload and use your own music playlists in Wipeout HD
― "Bellini." (DJP), Friday, 8 March 2013 16:43 (eleven years ago) link
2 is so much better
combat doesnt change much but it seemed smoother in 2
― zero dark (s1ocki), Friday, 8 March 2013 18:34 (eleven years ago) link
and 3 was forgettable
hay I bought a PS3 last week, I have Ni No Kuni for it, what else should I get (from all however many years of PS3's existence)
would like some:- JRPGs I won't finish- maybe a couple of the objectively best open-world actiony games (is this Red Dead Redemption?)- weird shit
― my god i only have 2 useless beyblade (silby), Saturday, 9 March 2013 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
yeah Red Dead Redemption rules. Skyrim is prob the next best open world game but old west is better than fantasy imo.
― congratulations (n/a), Saturday, 9 March 2013 02:53 (eleven years ago) link
silby you really should get Yakuza 3+4. The most enjoyable combination of all your criteria.

FYI Closure is kind of cool
― Darth Icky (DJP), Saturday, 9 March 2013 14:30 (eleven years ago) link
So when I get wipeout hd should I just go ahead and get fury bundled with it?
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Saturday, 9 March 2013 15:49 (eleven years ago) link
YES
also when you get it we need to schedule some race time

it is definitely scratching that puzzler itch where a board will completely stump me and I'll get mad and turn off the game, then come back in 24 hours and be all "oh, I just have to do this, solved yay"

I would say Rayman Origins from that list. I am most interested in Persona 3 but I haven't played it yet so I can't recommend it.
