Playstation LTTP : PlayStation 3 !!

Gameplay is .. just a carbon copy of all previous GOW games, so there was not much in the sense of unique game play mechanics etc.

Totally, because you could switch between 4 different weapons on the fly in previous GOW games as well. For realz.

[MENTION=68]Muaaz[/MENTION] : Haha, I just think the UC series is overrated. I love the Last of Us and other PS exclusives.

QTE's in God of war are awesome, one of the few games where QTE's aren't annoying.

you could 2 in GOW2, this is just an iteration, :
also besides the blades and the gauntlets, the other two weapons were pretty useless, even hades chains had usage, the nemesis whip was pretty fucking useless.

You haven't mentioned anything about the gore man, especially the boss fights man some of'em were brutal! That Hades fight particularly was fantastic, ripping off his body piece by piece and then taking a swim through is tattered corpse was just pure badass!

I love the incredible detail they put in the game, intestine purging out when ripping baddies, spilling guts loved it.

I say you should move on with Journey already, it will hardly last for 4-5 hours. But its a more of an Art spectacle than a game tbh! But it sure is a one of a kind experience which must not be missed.

Only between two weapons. Can't recall any other hack n slash game where you can do that on the fly with 4 weapons, resulting in combos of this nature:

Couldn't put off this stuff in GOW2 even if you wanted to.

[MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION] the whip is good for raking in combos etc and disturbing the enemies... its quite annoying when u want it to be.

and congrats on the ps3. better late than never.

OK so yesterday I popped in a few more games for a little while each, just to check if they all work etc .. here's some brief snippets of what I encountered.

Killzone 2: Damn you Dualshock 3, I'm just not getting used to it .. need more time I suppose, but the stick response feels laggy, and had to bump up the sensitivity high because the default is just too low, also freaking dead zones, now i know what people meant when they said KZ had bad controls

Uncharted 1: That spinning symbol just keeps spinning off the External drive, fortunately the game works perfectly fine on the Internal. The cut-scenes look nice, the core game itself could have used some anti aliasing though. Will play more of this later.

Yakuza 3: I just copied this and tried to run, unfortunately each time a new game is ran, it needs to "verify data" on multiman, which can take a long time if its a game with a lot of small files. So, I'll try this some other time

Tales of Xillia: It doesn't look anywhere near as pretty as Vesperia did, though I imagine it's because this is the first tales game with 360* environments and not statis 'god of war' like fixed angles.

God of War Collection Vol 2: This is the one with the PSP games, the first one looks like ass, the second one scales very nicely though.

The first game (after FFXII ) i'll play is probably Uncharted 1, since I need to play some easy shooters to get acquainted to the DS3's analog sticks.

- - - Updated - - -

edit: For KZ2 I know they put out a patch that fixed most of the lag, I did download the 100MB update to the game, but havne't had the chance to play again after the patch, so can't comment on how different the controls are gonna be. Will post with impressions later.

Uncharted 1 is actually harder than UC2 and UC3 (for me atleast). Still, I wish Sony had revised Dual Shock 3 earlier last gen to be more like the flawless Dual Shock 4.

There are so many things wrong with Dual Shock 3. The stupid convex thumb sticks, the small distance between them, the horrible R2 & L2.
In short, its like playing an Xbox shooter with RB & LB instead of the triggers.

Fortunately, some of the games are soooooooo good that you will forget that the controller is even there. Go through UC1 then play another game, come back for UC2 and follow with another and finish off the UC3.

I think you should invest more in the screen. I'm not sure what kind of monitor you have but a LED TV or a big LED monitor would bring Naughty Dog games, Journey to life.

Good luck

is there any easy-to-do jailbreak method of using a 360 pad on the PS3 ? does multiman or any kind of CFW allow those options ? I would be very interested in knowing this [MENTION=24078]DarkLordMalik[/MENTION] [MENTION=218]CerebralTiger[/MENTION] @whoeverelsehasajailbrokenps3 !

21'' HP LED, max rez 1600x900 running off of a DVI< - >HDMI cable for video and the standard composite cables for 2.0 Audio (not 5.1, sue me )

Unfortunately, there is no way to do so without having to buy an adapter of some kind. I think [MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION] linked to one earlier.

As for the verifying data taking a lot of time, you can copy these games to internal to get better speed. This also depends on hard disk as mine usually worked but my cousin's took a long time.

 

[Shyber]

There's a bit of adjusting time. A bit of practice and you'll get so used to the DS sticks that you won't realize what you're missing till you play again with a 360 pad.

I told you earlier. Get Speedlink Xeox Pro Analog Wireless Gamepad - Black (PS3/PC): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games . works like a charm. both on ps3 and pc. or maybe you can take a look at ps3 wired controllers, one like from memorax.

 

[Chandoo]

^ does it include six axis support ?

 

[NaNoW]

^ does it include six axis support ?

No.
But do you really need six axis?

 

[IzHee]

Uncharted 1 uses sixaxis as mandatory option so he needs it

 

[Journeys End]

i think kz3 also needs six-axis...u knw to turn those valves and stuff

What is interesting that nobody that I know of, complained about DS2 which had exactly the same design, dimensions and thumb sticks. Everyone used it for more than 5 years and didn't say a word.
And suddenly PS3's controller has flawed design which breaks hands and causes arthritis. Why? Because we like 360's controller after using it for an entire generation. Why? Because we're used to it.
[MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION] Killzone 2 had controller input lag. Some people could ignore it, some like you and I couldn't. I don't think it was ever properly fixed. Fortunately this isn't a problem in KZ3.

It's more to do with the fact that the PS2 generation (or the PS2 itself) wasn't that shooter heavy, where as the PS3/360 generation was built upon shooters.

Also, yes the 360 controller does generally feel better in the hands, it's the better shape. the DS3 is a little too small in (my) hands, at least. plus the analog stick placement doesn't help either.

I also started playing Uncharted in full swing, am up till the 6th chapter. At least i'm having a lot easier of a time with this than Killzone, maybe Killzone's controls are just plain bad in comparison to every game ?? ..

 

[Muaaz]

^ Killzone 2 had terrible controller input lag. Guerilla Games say they did that to add a weighty feel to the movement so it feels realistic. I call bullshit. I could never get used to it.
Thankfully, KZ3 was free of such shenanigans.
