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.
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.
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 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.
