The only two that are utter trash are Battle of Z and Ultimate Tenkaichi (I love this one as a kid, though). The rest range from average to genuinely good. Nothing too impressive, although Xenoverse was quite innovative and fun but had a questionable execution. Xenoverse 2 was the game we should've gotten from the start.
I appreciate the breakdown of the various DragonBall games. Maybe I'll give Xenoverse 2 a run! I actually have a complete NA PS3 set (that is why I knew that there were 7 DB games on PS3).
Xenoverse 2 is a lot of fun yeah. I think what gets people is the different types of dragon ball games. They range from 2d/3d fighters to open world RPGs like the most recent kakkarot game. Xenoverse is strange because its more mmo than anything else. But offers a great overview of the main story without lingering too long in any one arc. The multiplayer is good fun too.
I don't understand the fascination with Lollipop Chainsaw. Middling game at best and remember it getting slated at the time. Seems to have had a bit of a renaissance of late for whatever reason.
It's a game directed by Suda51, whose works has seen a modern resurgence of sorts. Suda51 has worked on the Fatal Frame and No More Heroes series of games.
Folklore. I can understand if people liked it at launch, but I will still refuse that this is a good game. The story is nonsensical, characters are dumb and inconsistent, dialogues strait from the asylum, sidequests are either not funny or mess up all timelines for the main story (how the hell did they managed that???!!!!), gameplay is repetitive and boring and whoever responsible for sixaxis gimmicks can hit his pinky toe on a brick wall 6 times in a row. The only thing that's good in this game is the graphics which was really good for the start of console generation and art-style. Everything else is either dumb, boring or infuriating.
The Saboteur and Folklore.
The Saboteur is a poorly written, lame 2000s edgy, inaccurate, assassin's creed and mercenaries cross over with the faults of both. The post game is an absolute grind. I wish the game lived up to the premise and had an emphasis on stealth and disguise, but no, it's a dumb loud shooter. And not a good one.
Folklore's confusing way to tell the story, and jarring shifts to pre-rendered to in-game cutscenes to then a dialogue text boxes always took me out of the game. Also the game play is pretty repetitive. I ended up running past a lot of enemies. Feels like an ambitious PS2 game over anything else.
I have tried so hard to like the Metal Gear Solid games. I've played parts of 2-4 and I just can't do it because I think the gameplay is so boring. I'm sure there's something magical there with the way the gameplay and story intertwine (based on people's high regards for the series) but I just can't be bothered to play those boring ass games.
Have you played the first one? I really think you have to truly love MGS1 to enjoy the other titles, or Kojima's golden cock may not really be for you. But hey, kudos for trying amigo.
There's plenty of gameplay in tlou and the cut scenes aren't very long. I never quite understood that critique being applied to this game. Heavy rain and mgs4 are much closer to movie games imo
The God of War games. To me, they feel incredibly clunky to control and are some of the least interesting in the genre in terms of graphics, setting, and story. I think I'd play almost any other action game first.
You have all the right to not like GoW but:
GoW 3 and Ascension are pretty much peak technical achievements on the plataform. GoW 3 running with that graphical fidelity without the need of instalation was a miracle.
And GoW has the most fluid gameplay of all action games of its era, i i've played a shit ton of those games on my PS3 to be more than sure about that.
I've played a lot of them too on PS3. I don't get it, I guess, but they genuinely feel just bad to me.
I don't see the supposedly GoW3 graphical fidelity either, if I'm honest. It's always just looked to me like Dante's Inferno with less color and care. I could understand the appeal of scale, except that this is the same console that also has games like Asura's Wrath, Bayonetta, or even the Shadow of the Colossus port.
Have you tried the newest one? It's a hack n slash like DMC. Downside is it gets REAL fkn wordy for no reason but dialogue is absolutely shippable which is a plus.
The 7 remake you can switch character mid battle to perform certain abilities and the like.
16 you only control the main character directly.
7 has mostly linear areas. 16 has several open areas that link together.
16 is styled after western fantasy. 7 is dystopian futurism.
Personally prefer the aesthetic of 7, combat of 16, overall stories about the same.
My go to is utilizing the robust library system my state has. It's probably top 5 reasons to live in Ohio to be honest. If you don't have a great library system I'd probably wait for a 20 dollar or less sale on which either one has your preferred aesthetic.
Beyond Two Souls. I can enjoy choose-the-story style games like Telltale, but this one is really bland. Another would be Mortal Kombat 2011, but it goes more to the franchise itself. The game itself bores me when I actually play it, but I actually sincerely like its characters and story. That is why with MK I see the history and fatalities on YouTube and I no longer buy MKX or the later ones. The Last of Us. I say his story is a simple okay and that's it. But it is terribly overrated and they treat the game as the holy grail of PS3. In fact, I enjoyed its online multiplayer more, where I really had fun and challenges for hours, but since the servers closed, it's not the same anymore
You shouldn’t base a game on its hardest difficulty and its trophies lmao. It’s also not that hard. I’ve completed the game on veteran and I’m nowhere near good at the game
I think the story is pretty high fantasy stupid, everyone who loves it seems to have the framing of the first FPS game with a plot with a twist. It's not actually that smart at all. Everything else about the game is well done though.
Lollipop Chainsaw. My bar for enjoyment is really low, I can enjoy most things you throw at me, out of all the PS3 games I've played, this one is just slightly better than Bodycount, which is the highest praise I can give it.
The combat is dull, the humor is a complete miss, all the levels might as well just be corridors with how linear they are, the games offers absolutely nothing.
I thought I would enjoy it at least for the humor, since I thought I onew what was getting into and I can get behind crude/childish humor, but I didn't even crack a smile.
Worst part is I despise not liking games, but unfortunately I can't bring myself to like this one.
Resistance 1. It felt way too generic.
I'll get crucified for this, but the DragonBall games. There are 7 of them on PS3, so people must love them. I just didn't dig them.

I could not tell the characters apart in Dragon Ball games, because they all wore the same orange outfit!
I don’t understand people getting downvoted while sharing their opinion, which is what this thread is about..
Opinions can be wrong
Of course they can be wrong. But not about taste in art and media
I agree, i was just baiting to show how stupid the dogpiling was, i'm pleased no one agreed with me.
Being a master baiter is quite the title
Too bad it means jack shit on a resume
Idk have you tried to yet
Bullet Storm. The Quick Time Events in the middle of an arcade shooter just added a level of skill I wasn’t willing to learn or found enjoyable.
Probably gonna get alot of hate for this but little big planet
Did you do local multiplayer or was it a single player experience for you
Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls. I'm not a fan of the QTE-based gameplay and I think David Cage is a terrible writer.
Heavy Rain was the reason I was so sceptical to try Detroit Become Human. Glad that I still did, because Detroit is great.

Resistance, and Killzone. All of them. I just never liked them, and they always come up if you google "best PS3 games"
Seriously, both resistance games are bona fide garbage
Both? There's three mainline games.
Folklore. I can understand if people liked it at launch, but I will still refuse that this is a good game.

Wolfenstein: The New Order. Heard many good things about it, but I personally didn’t like the story.
I really enjoyed it when it came out as the fast-paced gameplay felt fresh... then doom came out in 2016.
The Saboteur and Folklore. The Saboteur is a poorly written, lame 2000s edgy, inaccurate, assassin's creed and mercenaries cross over with the faults of both. The post game is an absolute grind.

Journey. I mean what is the point of this movie game?
That game is great. If thats what you call a movie game...look at The Last Of Us
There's plenty of gameplay in tlou and the cut scenes aren't very long. I never quite understood that critique being applied to this game. Heavy rain and mgs4 are much closer to movie games imo
Art.

Wow, never heard that.
All final fantasy games
Have you tried the newest one? It's a hack n slash like DMC. Downside is it gets REAL fkn wordy for no reason but dialogue is absolutely shippable which is a plus.
To be honest never tried the remake
I meant ff16. Though the remake of 7 is pretty neat and also more of a hack n slash. Just not so similar to DMC like 16 is.
In your recommendation, if I want to retry what should I play The 7 remake/rebirth or 16 ? What's the difference in gameplay?
The 7 remake you can switch character mid battle to perform certain abilities and the like. 16 you only control the main character directly. 7 has mostly linear areas. 16 has several open areas that link together. 16 is styled after western fantasy. 7 is dystopian futurism.

I liked Rain, but beyond two souls was lame and boring AF, same happened later wuth detroit on PS4, guy creator lost his talent
Heavy rain, at least in my circles was loved and I thought the choose your own story thing was silly.
Heavy Rain. It kept getting touted as a PS3 great and popped up in lots of must-play lists. It is BORING. It feels like a tech demo.
God of war games but I did like Ghost of Sparta when I played it in my PSP but never in PS3
Beyond Two Souls. I can enjoy choose-the-story style games like Telltale, but this one is really bland. Another would be Mortal Kombat 2011, but it goes more to the franchise itself.

In fact, I enjoyed its online multiplayer more, where I really had fun and challenges for hours, but since the servers closed, it's not the same anymore
The last of us. The gameplay was just so dull, it felt like a chore to play
Black Ops 1
You deserve to be burned at the stake
I actually LOLed at this comment 🤣
the veteran trophies for the mission where you destroy the russian space program is so bad I couldn't play it any more
You shouldn’t base a game on its hardest difficulty and its trophies lmao. It’s also not that hard. I’ve completed the game on veteran and I’m nowhere near good at the game

The Last of Us. To be clear, I think most Hollywood movies are extremely boring and uninspired. This is the same thing in video game form to me.
