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.

Skerj5778d ago

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

pharmd5778d ago

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

Chris Bosh5778d ago

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

Marceles5778d ago

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

Silogon5778d 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.

Surfman5778d ago

MGS4 around 5 times already.

vickers5005778d ago (Edited 5778d 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.

gaffyh5778d ago

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

mikeslemonade5778d ago

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

Blackcanary5778d ago (Edited 5778d ago )

Alundra was my 2nd Fav RPG game on the PS1 Final Fantsy Being my 1st Played FF7 10 times.

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

Condoleezza Rice5778d 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) ?

okcomputer5778d 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.

chasuk085778d 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 !

Fototherapist5778d 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.

AceLuby5778d 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.

okcomputer5778d 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.

shelbygt335777d 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.

DavidMacDougall5778d ago

Blackcanary5778d ago

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

Blackcanary

ErcsYou5778d ago (Edited 5778d 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

Carl5778d 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 :)

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies7h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken2h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6918h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker17h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6917h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt5h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken2h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos23h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto22h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8822h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies12h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
