Wow. Not as good as other years..

MoveTheGlow4032d ago

I -mostly- agree. I'm one of those crazy people who powered through all the Japanese text to play Retro Game Master 2 (Game Center CX 2) on the DS, and I can't wait for Dragon Fantasy to hit because of that. Way more excited about that than most of the other titles last year.

On the other hand, what did we expect? They're already moving on to the PS4, and courting plenty of indie devs to do so also. Most likely, the heavy hitters that would have released something on the PS3 this year got some funding to update their stuff in favor of the PS4 launch, which I'd totally agree with.

Been playing guacamelee on my vita and it seems pretty fun. Gonna try it some more on my lunch and after work on my ps3 if it has the cross save feature.

This update is not too sexy, if you ask me.
The highlight of this update is the potential items that have been discounted.
But nothing to stop servers over.

The Borderlands stuff would have been great if I didn't already have played it all and Platinum it all..

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.

Profchaos3h 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

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?

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

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis19h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

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.
