I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
No console will sell the same amount of consoles from launch week. Durrrrrrr.
Some simple math for you all:
Europe got a million PS3 units for it's launch, it sold about 600k.
That leaves 400k to sell, so immediately there sales would lower about 60%. This is not based on lack of customer interest, it's based on PS3 availability.
That additional 20% drop means that they sold about half of the remaining units (200k) this week, which is still very good. Why is this such a big surprise to everyone?
Sony (is like your parents they make mistakes, but have to love them anyways,they have your best interests in mind)
Nintendo (is like your grandparents, it just not the same as when you were a kid, but you still fully respect them)
Microsoft(is like a drunk uncle, he`s fun to hang with, but he`s no one to look up to, he`s only concerned about fun in the moment, and if your not carefull he might try to take advantage of ya)
i`m out of bubbles so THANK U THANK U.
i guess it looks worse since they were breaking sales records with their launch
and before all of you PS3 haters come here and start bashing it.
Remember do all the bashing you want but either way you look at it
the PS3 launch was better and has beat the X360 and Wii launch.
OK their was Wii and X360 shortages,
SO the PS3 still sold more at launch, and that's the bottom line.
