I do lots of electronic repair and somebody traded me a PlayStation 3 I didn't want but my curiosity to fix it made me take it. I ended up getting Demon Souls... Holy shit what a great game. It's actually bite-sized enough that you can sit down and complete it and it's not insanely difficult. It's actually pretty easy. But it's satisfying as helllllllll

That's awesome. I love fixing things. 5 or 6 years ago when I worked as an installer. A lady was using a brand spanking new PS3 as her Blu-ray player. I was at her house installing a TV and a brand new Blu-ray player. She gave me the PS3. I still have it until now. I even bought more games for it. Thanks for the game suggestion, too. Lol
Shadow of the Colossus has been a long-time favorite of mine. I also liked Fatal Frame. I think I also remember enjoying Rule of Rose, but I have very little memory of that one. I just remember it was weird.
Will get those, too. So many people recommended SOC. Never played it
Katamari games from the PS2/3 era are great
Check out this community and consider enabling achievements on your emulators. I found it really enhances the social aspect of the experience.
I don't understand what this achievement website does. I do have achievements enabled on my rpcs3, but how do I send them to the site?
make an account and then add your credentials to the emulator
Oh ok. That sounds easy. Thank you so much.
My top three favourites from the PS3 era would probably be Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and Journey.
Thank you
Crono Cross. You don't really need to emulate it though, it's on steam now.
An undying classic
I'll be checking that out. Thank you
With Radical Dreamers so you don’t need to patch a snes rom for that either.
Excellent!!! Love me the ps2 era of gaming.
See if you can find Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. That’s a fun romp.
So many recommendations. I'm saving this post
Which games have you been playing, or which ones have been your favorites so far?
Started with GOW1 and 2. Finished both and now halfway through Ascension then I'd switch to the very first uncharted, then do some soccer on PS1 and PS2 and 3. I have a whole bunch of games on the list.
GOW are classics for sure.
Check out the sly cooper games too, those were great 👍
Holy shit, thank you for the reminder. I've played one of them and totally forgot. I'm definitely getting them.
Nice, glad to help out! Consider doing some reviews, or just letting us know how you like them :)
Also, Captain Blood is another one to take a look at!
This game looks very nice. Right up my ally. Thank you
You're welcome!
Just wanted to update you. This game is fucking fantastic. I've been having a blast with it. Old god of war games style. Thank you.
Oh, man that is awesome! Glad to help out and I'll look forward to playing it too, eventually. Lol
