Recommend me games please?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey - sorry for posting here again.

But, I have a PS3 which I've only had for around 4 months now. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any games I may like for it?

I already like (so may give you an idea if there's a particular genre I go for!) Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Uncharted 2, Dead Space 2, Sims 2.

That's the one thing I don't really like about owning a PS3 (besides, you know, that whole security breakdown thing... >_>). I just can't seem to find many good games for it, and I've had mine for two years. But I've got a few (probably really obvious) suggestions.

I would suggest to you Borderlands. Really, if you liked Bioshock, you'll probably like Borderlands. In my opinion, it's the real sequel to Bioshock. (They're made by the same company.) The ups are the battle system will feel pretty familiar while being completely different (in a good way.) It's got a cast of incredibly colorful characters that provide the game with a lot of laughs, but the downside is it's not very story-heavy. You get into Borderlands because it's fun to play and because it's funny, not because it's got the awesome atmosphere and story as Bioshock. If you enjoyed the plasmids in Bioshock, chances are you'll enjoy the elemental weapons of Borderlands. You can burn, shock, explode, or even chemically MELT your enemies! (Melting is my personal favorite.) You get your choice of four different characters (catering to the four basic fps play types) with different strengths, weaknesses, and special attacks. And one of the best aspects, in my opinion, is the RPG elements. Your character gets more accurate and does more damage with weapon categories you use more often. The downside to this is that at the very beginning of the game, your shots can miss even when you're aiming directly at the person, especially with weapons like the machine gun, but this problem quickly disappears. Borderlands also fixes one of the major complaints I had with Bioshock, namely that dying cost you nothing. The biggest complaint I have about this game is the ending. I was really disappointed, but that hasn't stopped me from starting a new game plus. I think the best way to summarize Borderlands is to say that it is a game that provides you with a fantastic world if not a fantastic story.

Another game I'd suggest is Infamous. Again, the story and atmosphere isn't really on par with Bioshock (but then again, what is?) but it's a great sandbox style game with an interesting battle system. It's sort of a 3rd person shooter, I think? You shoot lightening out of your hand, it's 3rd person, and you have crosshairs on screen at all times. It's got a set of interesting powers that you can level up as you progress through the game, but like Bioshock it's got one of those morality systems that's all or nothing. Being good or bad leads to the ultimate powers in the game, so you can't pick and choose your choices. It's all or nothing. All in all, it's a fun game that provides a decent challenge (though to be fair, I played for the first time on Hard and I'm not really that great at video games.). There's a lot of collectibles that give you a break from the missions and it's visually pretty good looking. There's a lot of freedom in the way you complete most missions thanks to the city setting. If one approach isn't working, just sneak around the building and take the enemies out from another angle!

But to be completely fair, if Infamous isn't your cup of tea, you might really, really like Prototype instead. Most people are split, really liking one or the other. Personally, I didn't like Prototype at all, so I can't tell you much about it.

Heavy Rain is another that I really liked. Visually, it's beautiful and it's probably got the best storyline of any PS3 game I own. The downside is it's not a typical game. It's basically a game comprised entirely of quicktime events. Which sounds like it would suck, but as far as quick time events go, Heavy Rain provides some of the best examples. Some people can't look past the fact that it's not a typical game, and completely hate it, but if you can give the game a chance, it's really one of the most engaging and powerful stories I've ever seen in a game. It also has the ability to crank up the atmosphere, like Bioshock. Once the story gets going, you really get into it. At least, I did.

If you ever played PS2 games like God of War or Devil May Cry (then obviously you might want to look at their sequels but) I would also suggest Bayonetta. It's another one of those games that's basically all fun battling and insane, nonsensical story. The main character is a Brittish witch with a fondness for nudity and lollipops. It's over the top and all about fan service, but it's got some of the funnest boss battles I've ever played in a game all about action.

If you enjoyed the alternate historical timeline of Bioshock, you might want to pick up Fallout 3. Personally, I find it pretty hard. The battle system isn't like Bioshock or Borderlands. You've got to put some strategy into killing your enemies instead of just hitting them with some crazy elements and hiding while you heal. I'm not too good at strategy with a gun. ;D But on the plus side, the storyline is pretty interesting and it's another sandbox. There's a lot to do and you'll definitely get your money's worth in terms of play time. And all the while you play you can listen to fun old-timey music!

I could...

...recommend you Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2,Call of Duty:Black Ops and Brink.

Get your computer, download a gameboy emulator, and seek out a rom for Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal. DO IT NAU!! !! !!

All I can say is thankyou, I shall check these out!

^^ Yaye greetings kittie. I am very sorry as I believe that I do not possess a Playstation 3. ^^ However, I believe that the happy game named Fallout 3 is very magical as I have played this little game with my XBox 360.

Killzone 3 and Haze.

Bejeweled 3
Braid
Flight Control HD
The Next BIG Thing
Back to the Future: The Game

All fun, non-violent games. :)

I'm a PC gamer mainly, but based on your stated preferences I'd recommend Killzone 3 and Crysis 2.
The Call of Duty fanbase is divided into 2 sects; Modern Warfare 2 or Black Ops (both are solid shooters IMO, its mainly personal preference which one is better)
Also its been out for several years so you may already have played it, but if not....Grand Theft Auto IV (its 3rd person, but if you don't enjoy it then you basically don't like video games lol)

Shenlong mentioned ROMs earlier, which are cool because you don't need a great computer to run them and you can enjoy amazing games from the past that you may have trouble finding elsewhere.
Just in case you don't know, Emulator = a program to "emulate" the system the game is for, and ROM = the file of the actual game itself that the emulator can interpret.
So to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, you would need to download a PS1 emulator and the Castlevania SOTN ROM.
For Chrono Trigger (which I highly recommend) get yourself a SNES emulator and the Chrono Trigger ROM.
Same thing for gameboy games, gameboy emulator + the ROMs of whatever GB games u wanna play.
Like Shenlong suggested earlier, the pokemon games have all been very fun and addictive to me, and also I would take a look at the Golden Sun games (2 of them last I checked).

Well, thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.... happy gaming

You could also try out Final Fantasy 14 Online

I literally just bought LA Noire..looks awsome...bought it during my lunch hour at work. Can't wait to go home and play it...look into it.

I've always been a huge fan of the Ratchet and Clank series, and they currently have three of them out for the ps3 (they are known as the future trilogy).
For those of you who have not played or even heard of Ratchet and Clank, it's an adorable combat/3D platformer style game that's cinematic, humorous, mildly challenging, and overall fun.
I also recomend Portal 2.

My favorite PS3 game is "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow".

Whenever you buy a new system, always check out the Greatest Hits games.

Not that I have a PS3, but I can still recommend good multiplatform games!

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a purely awesome game, and I believe it's also got some PS3-exclusive content. It's a bit of a brawler combined with some puzzle-solving.

Some have said Fallout 3, I say Fallout: New Vegas, a much better game in my opinion. Better/deeper story and characters with a deeper crafting system and overall better balance makes for a much better game.

Crysis 2 is pretty good, I like how they use the nanosuit to give you loads of options to handle each encounter in the way you most prefer.

Red Faction: Guerilla is pretty fun, mostly due to the fact that you can somewhat realistically demolish buildings. The hotseat multiplayer mode is loads of fun too.


I know that whenever I get a PS3, I'll be getting my hands on Metal Gear Solid 4 (got 1, 2 and 3 on Gamecube and PS2), the Resistance series (since it looks like they actually do some interesting things gameplay-wise) and God of War 3 to start with.

Finally, just a small nitpick. mori_pastel said that Borderlands was made by the same company as Bioshock, which is false. Borderlands was developed by Gearbox Software, Bioshock by Irrational Games. Borderlands is a huge bunch of fun though, so don't discard it for that.

If they have it on PSN, download the original Deus Ex. Or, you could get it via steam. It is my favorite game played through a First Person perspective, but note that it is more of an rpg than an FPS. It's about a nanotech enhanced anti-terrorist operative for the UN who uncovers a conspiracy and is forced to join with terrorists to stop the coming of a New World Order. It's a cyberpunk-themed game if you're into that.

And a new installment is coming out for the PS3, Xbox, and comp. It's a prequel and is called Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
