Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

Ive got a treat for you guys/girls, a Free PSone Japanese Import and no gimmicks.

1. Head over to the Japanese PSN Store (Google on how if you don't have an account is really easy) and on the main store front the very bottom tab say PlayStation Plus in English, DONT click that tab but the one right above it.

2. This will bring up either a List/Collums of games depending on your settings, either way there are some folders and then some PSone games, scroll until you find the game XI[sai]

3. The download process is the same from here on out as usual and you just acquired a pretty cool Japanese Puzzle game.

Is that game good because I have a PS3 myself.

Well I beat my first ps3 game Ratchet and Clank a Crack in time. Second best in the series! Up your Arsenal was better.

After trying some demos I'm going to get Uncharted 2 then Infamous for my next games. I'm a little upset about no multiplayer in A crack in time. not much to do other than get all the collectibles.

I finished Enslaved today. It was a good game but full of audio problems. There were far too many instances where the sound effects were missing during gameplay and cutscenes. It felt almost like they rushed the game rather than take the time to fix the bugs. I got it for a measly $25 so it was ok for that price but I feel more comfortable recommending it as a rental. It really made me appreciate all the work that goes into something like the Uncharted games.

@soccer
Ratchet & Clank ACIT is still on my backlog of games to play. Still gotta finish up Tools of Destruction. You should enjoy Uncharted 2's story and multiplayer. I'm in the middle of Infamous and am loving it so far.

I want Enslaved so bad. T_T

Borderlands is taking FOREVER to get here. Oh, does anyone have Brutal Legend? I kind of want to try out multiplayer but I KNOW I'll suck. XD

I finally got my ps3 hooked up again. Downloading demos now. There's an enslaved one, so I'll try it out first. If anyone is interested, my PSN ID is slugga85. Feel free to add me.

I think I posted this, but with all the Enslaved talk, I did obtain it for Christmas myself. I've got Dead Space 2 right on us in a few weeks and just wrapped up Blue Toad Murder Files, and Deathspank/NFS Hot Pursuit has been my goto games on PS3 for quite awhile. I plan to wrap up Deathspank and a few PSN titles I need to complete, then Dead Space 2/Extraction and it's Mass Effect 2 and Enslaved. That is my game-plan for the moment.

I'm now closing in on the 25hr mark on Mass Effect PC and if you guys haven't played it, I highly recommend it. Mass Effect 2 PS3 drops at the end of the month and includes all the DLC and also runs on the new Mass Effect 3 game engine. It includes a prequel of sorts to get nonMass Effect gamers into the game without the need to play the first title, but if you have a 360/PC I recommend starting at the original. Can't wait to get this one.

Dead Space 2/Extraction, Mass Effect 2, Little Big Planet 2, Modern Combat Domination all in a few weeks. 2011 is starting off with a big bang, especially with Killzone 3/Sharp Shooter Pro a few weeks after that in February.

I'm playing so much Cricket 2010 right now. Somehow that game just appeals to me on so many levels.

But yeah, that and Enchanted Arms are taking up my PS3 time the last couple of days. I have to move soon, so that's going to hit my gaming time a bit for a while :-/

Also, Slappy (off topic, but there's no DM system here) - wanted to ask you something away from the forums - could you pls shoot me off an email? waltzit@gm ...?

Did anyone try that Faery: Tales of Avalon demo? I liked it, may end up getting it myself.

Hey if anybody in here is interested in FFvsXIII (or other FF games it seems), they're holding a conference soon on the 18th. Some details here

I for one will probably be preordering versusXIII, depending on the release date (if they announce it and stuff).

Edit: Here's a page that will be updated live with info from the conference, but it will be in Japanese I'd imagine.

Being the RPG tragic I am, I downloaded Faery Legends of Avalon (and I know Stuffy has as well!)

Kinda enjoying what ive played so far, and I like how PSN RPGs tend to be 'bite sized' and completable in a weekend (as this one seems to be too), but it's not the greatest game I've played, either.

Probably gonna give it a 2.5 or so out of five. It's no Costume Quest!

@ roopa cant decide whether or not to get LBP 2..definately want shadow of the collosus collection thing though and i played ME2 on the PC

Almost done with my PS3 backlog (not counting PSN) -- all I got left is A Crack in Time and the entirety of Demon's Souls...then I can put it away for a little while and spend some time killing my PS2 backlog (never finished Grandia 3 or Dark Cloud 2...and I'm getting the desire to play DQ VIII again before VI DS comes out).

I'm echoing Roopa's comments. It's a stellar year to be a PS3 owner...now all I gotta to is steal a Move from someone

@everyone - dunno if you're aware, but the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 is actually built on the Mass Effect 3 template/engine. They're importing all Mass Effect 2's assets and making them work with ME3's framework....personally this has me more psyched to buy the PS3 version, as it makes our version all shiny and exclusive Plus I can't see new streamlined engine being a bad thing...

Ok tried the Enslaved demo, and liked it. Gonna get it next time I'm in town. Also gonna download Undead Nightmare tonight for some good ol' fashioned zombie killin'.

What do people think of LBP? I've never played it before, but might try out the demo. So many bloody games out, it's hard to keep up.

Yes I'll be getting Mass Effect when it comes out soon. But I might try and get through my backlog first- a crack in time, fallout 3 (which I almost got rid of after it freezing on me twice- I need to remember to SAVE) and 3D Dot (which just makes me want a true alttp sequel even more!). Going to try and keep the ps3 backlog to 2 games at a time, but I'm sure it wont last long!

LBP2 is only days away! I probably can't get it until (next) Friday though. Still can't wait!

@Strofan - haha I know it's not going to last, but I wanna at least try. I'm planning on picking up enslaved and borderlands next time I'm in town, so hopefully I can get the others beaten by then. Regarding trophies, I don't have the patience to platinum many games, bit I at least wanna get it for red dead and maybe uncharted 2.

I'm a big fan of platformers, so I'll definitey try out LBP then. Thanks.

@Waltz - what PSN rpg's do you recommend?

@Fuzzy

IMO, all of the current PSOne classic RPGs are must-plays.

Yeah I got FFVII. I've never played it before, and am having trouble getting into it. Gonna have to put a bit more time into it I think.

Fuzzy - Vandal Hearts is a decent (but ugly) tactics RPG.

Costume Quest is all kinds of charming, but over fairly quickly, and easily.

Deathspank is apparently very, very good, in a Diablo-style game, but I haven't played it as yet.

Otherwise, there's really not a whole heap at the moment, unfortunately,
