"PlayStation 3 achievements - called 'trophies' - will be unveiled soon (this bit we already know, but here's the interesting bit), and 70% of games will already be compatible.""

I hope uncharted and Ratchet & clank, myself. Those are my 2 favorite ps3 games to date. Nothing has ever come close to those 2 seperate experiences. I ahve beat uncharted over 13 times, if that says anything.

Super Mario bros - 77 + times in my life
The legend of Zelda - 24 times in my life
Suikoden - 8 times in my life
Alundra - 6 times in my life

Uncharted - 13 times in my life

See a pattern? Great games don't need online to be played again and again.

I'd love to know what the disagreeing is for? Oh, it's because I posted it. I see, cause I know it's not in question about playing great games off line. That'd be absurd and ridicules, wouldn't it? Morons.

Skerj5772d ago

Hot damn, beating Alunda 6 times is a feat. I suppose after that initial time everything clicks through all subsequent playthroughs though.

pharmd5772d ago

one word...... UPDATES, they will be out eventually

Chris Bosh5772d ago

Well now u have to do uncharted 13 times again if u want to unlk those trophies.

Marceles5772d ago

Ah Alundra...classic game, a game only true gamers paid attention to

Silogon5772d ago

Due to age and being a kid when Zelda hit, I firmly believe the only reason I beat it so many times was because it was available wlel before Alundra. I am hard pressed to say that Zelda is better than Alundra, though. I love both games and I firmly believe that Alundra does everything Zelda 1 thru 3 did, but in a lot of ways, better.

Anyone who loves Action rpg's buy Alundra, play it and experience it cause there is nothing in the video game world better than this type of game, I believe. Also, the Gen had a very good loose prequel to this game called Landstalker.

Surfman5772d ago

MGS4 around 5 times already.

vickers5005772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Personally online gives the game a lot more life to me than playing the game over and over again. If its a long game, then online is not required. But if its a short game, it kind of needs it, at least IMO, and thats not to say that I don't buy games like that, I just don't buy them at full price, because to me they are not worth it. I bought uncharted for 40 bucks, which was well worth it, but its not worth 65.

The greatest thing about single player is the unexpectedness of whats going to happen, just the not knowing how or what is gonna happen or what you are supposed to do is what makes single player so awesome for me, I don't know about other people though. And knowing what is going to happen usually ruins my second playthrough and makes me want to stop. But if the games are long, then thats fine that they don't have an online mode. Take for instance Ratchet and Clank. Its a long game with no multiplayer, sure I would have liked to see mp in that game, but I'm fine without it, and I still f*cking loved that game so much that I've played through it at least 3 times, which says something about how good it is as I never play through a game more than once or twice usually.

I hope you are not calling people who prefer online with their games morons, because if you were, I'd have to say that you are pretty moronic yourself.

gaffyh5772d ago

Yeah I know what you mean, I must have played MGS1 like 20+ times, and already finshed MGS4 4x.

mikeslemonade5772d ago

I don't replay games so i'm just gonna be moving forward to the achievements in the new games.

Blackcanary5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Checking out what Trophy's you got and what your overall Rank/Level is

Condoleezza Rice5772d ago

Sony have been working closely with 3rd party devs,so it should come as no surprise that the majority of already released titles will support this new and exciting Trophy System.

The question is:Are YOU ready 8) ?

okcomputer5772d ago

uhh, I've been ready for a while.. I was ready when I bought my ps3 at launch, and all of the features in the 2.4 update should have been available out of the box.

Yes its great that we're finally getting all this stuff, but lets not act like Sony didn't keep us waiting a year and a half for features that have been standard on their competitor's for years.

chasuk085772d ago

Well as long as the main ones are compatible - MGS4, COD4, GTA4, Uncharted, Warhawk, R&Clank, I want FNR3, then i will be ready !

Fototherapist5772d ago

really excited about the new developments. Trophies are a great addition. I'm really curious to see what kind of trophies I can get with Bad Company.

AceLuby5772d ago

All those 'online' features have been available on the 360, but what were you missing that you needed from a FREE service? I was able to get online, join a game, play against human opponents and have a great time since day 1. Isn't that what its really about? Not saying these features aren't nice, but it really doesn't affect anything regarding the core functionality of online play, that is playing a game not against computer AI, but against human opponents.

In game XMB was only blown up to the proportions it is because fanboys need something to fuel the fire.

okcomputer5772d ago

@3.3

Expecting things that should have been out of the box on launch day isn't holding a grudge. All I was saying was that it seems pretty stupid at this point to get all excited that sony finally got their act together and gave us basically last gen online features that ms has had since the original xbox.

@3.5

What was I missing? In game messaging is huge. The ability to bring up your menu and check for friends, and invite them to games seamlessly makes online gaming a lot more fun on the 360. The friends system in psn was crap compared to live's. you have to admit that. Then theres the basic stuff like in game soundtracks, making console adjustments in game etc, and all the other stuff that 2.4 fixes. And as for the price, live is so cheap I honestly don't care. If psn offered all of those features out of the box for the ps3 I would have gladly paid the same $50 per year. It only comes out to 13 cents a day, and I play all the time, so its worth it to me. If sony keeps psn free, especially after home, ms will have to drop the price, but live really isn't expensive at all. Up until 2.4 live has been much better, but now that it looks like sony has finally gotten their crap together we'll see.

shelbygt335771d ago

I'm not going to replay all my games just to get the trophies, but look forward to the new releases.

And seriously, everyone is all happy about trophies now, but when achievements first came out, the Sony fans in here were saying how silly and stupid they were. My how our memories fade.

DavidMacDougall5772d ago

Blackcanary5772d ago

I would do the same thing lol any thats wanna add on to the PSN my ID is

Blackcanary

ErcsYou5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Thats good to hear... It will be fun playing through all my games again...
It was also nice to hear that the trophy system won't scan save files, it stops cheaters and makes a perfect opportunity to either clean up your hard drive or replace it.

Get ready to see your PSN friends playing the oddest games imaginable just to get those few extra trophies

Carl5772d ago

I will certainly be playing all of my games again to get trophies. Including Jericho, Genji, and even The Simpsons.

I'll enjoy having a good laugh at the titles people are playing :)

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer5h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6024h ago(Edited 4h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde2h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
