i 100% would have gotten a ps3 if i could play ps2, but by the time i was able they werent selling those ps3s anymore. so i went with the 360 and never looked back
Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 were PS2 titles. Aside from Infamous and Demon's Souls, the rest were multi-platform. I bought a PS3 at launch, but my game library for it was always small.
Playing Motorstorm with the 6-axis in the controller was a surreal experience. And that was a launch title. Same with playing a mature FPS from the makers of Ratchet & Clank and Spyro.
@Omegamanthethird@Thassodar Did they have the six-axis at launch? I'm trying to remember the specifics -- it has been so long -- but I do remember that Sony had a lot of trouble getting the dual shock motors to work together with the six-axis thing for whatever reason (I mean I assume they never run at the same time?) and I thought I remember a delay due to that?
I know it was later in the console’s cycle, but the PS3 had Grand Theft Auto V. Yes, GTA5 has been the most recent installment in the franchise for that long.
I still have a set with the camera, playmat etc and loads of extra cards somewhere in storage and I haven't owned a PS3 for years.
It was by no means a perfect game but it was such a unique experience that I just loved.
Imagine if someone made a modern version based around Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh or hell even pokemon TCG. Summoning your monsters and watching them attack. I'd eat that right up!
@Thassodar Rofl, OUCH. That one definitely stings.
There were maybe two PS3 games I liked. One I still hold out hopes on getting a western port on the remake. I don't even remember what the other was because I hate even turning my PS3 on.
To be clear, that's PS3, not "PlayStation" as the original post says though. PS1 and PS2 had *incredible* libraries.
Ah but what about now? The PS5 has a pretty lackluster list of titles if I'm not mistaken, especially compared to the PS4. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm willing to bet by 2017, 4 years after the PS4's release, it had a bigger library than the PS5 does now 4 years into its lifespan.
@Thassodar I stopped even trying with the PS4 and PS5. They're just PCs in disguise. (Really the PS3 was too, but it was also a bad disguise that improperly cooled it which is why I'm too paranoid even to use mine.) At this point they don't really even have any exclusives I could possibly care about and I already have a PC, so it's like I have enhanced versions of everything but the Switch all in one single box on my desk.
Still, since this was retrogaming themed we can't ignore PS1 and PS2.
