Best PS3 RPGs/Games

[ImpulsE69]

I like my graphics but some people don't understand (i'm guilty at times) that graphics don't mean everything has to look like MGS5 and Bloodborne. Some games have a different art style. I'm not fond of cel shading myself. Games like Jet Grind Radio, Borderlands, and Zelda Wind Waker do nothing for me. Though for games inspired by anime or manga they can benefit from it.

I never had Atari, a friend of mine did before I got an NES. I think graphics should always move forward and I've been openly critical of games that hide behind the "art style" argument when they look like NES games in this day and age. I abhore games like Fez etc. However games like Child of Light that look good but have an art style that looks like a painting with 2D backgrounds, or Dragon's Crown where each character was hand drawn frame by frame...I can appreciate that quite a bit.

I don't mind the retro style as long as I can still make out what is happening. Shovel Knight for instance was one of my favorite games I played last year, however Ultima VII which I should love, I cannot play for 5 minutes because I cannot even make out what is happening on the screen (even though back in the day you could).

Just started Tales of Xillia. Hoping it is as good as Abyss or Graces.

Look at the screenshots above. That is the art style of Persona, the game does not suffer at all.

So you're telling me all the aliasing I see isn't a result of the PS3 having inferior hardware? Game could look MUCH better having the same style. PS3 just isn't the bees knees anymore.

EDIT: Didn't mean to double post.

Now your just nitpicking. May as well just stick to PC only if you feel that way.

No because I didn't buy a PS3 for its graphics. But if you release a game now it should take advantage of the PS4 not waste time on the PS3. Just my opinion of course.

Just got Star Ocean 4 International. Pretty good so far better than So3.

I like Ni No Kuni, the Final Fantasies, Valkyria Chronicles, the ps3 has a ton of really good rpgs.

i worked on Ni No Kuni, and if you are trying to go for the secret ending, but keep getting destroyed .. i can PM you a glitch which will make it much easier.
(i did report the bug, but it was too close to launch, they didn't want to remove it)

How is Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 on the PS3?

 

[ImpulsE69]

I keep contemplating getting Eternal Sonata..but damn I have too many games to go through. I have Ni No Kuni to finish, and haven't even touched MSG4 or Tales of Xillia yet. Grr.

Catherine isn't really a JRPG but I thought it was pretty fun.

If you're interested at all in Metal Gear Solid 5, then grab the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection (or just 4).

If you're interested in MGS5 then the ones you need to focus on are MGS3 Snake Eater and MGS : Peace Walker, in that order.

In chronological order:

Big Boss story arc - MGS3, MGS: PW, MGS: GZ, MGS5: TPP

Solid Snake story arc - MG1, MG2 , MGS1, MGS2, MGS4


The Big Boss story arc is tragic and heartbreaking and is far more interesting than Solid Snake.

I cried so hard when Peace Walker concluded. Dude means so well and touched so many people's lives has been through hell for no reason because other people are power tripping assholes. And it all started with one act that completely changed him and he carries the guilt and regret with him his entire life and it comes to define him and his legacy.

MGS3 and MGS PW build up Big Boss as this really good guy and MGS5 is supposed to be where he gets screwed over one last time and finally loses his shit and becomes the legendary villain we all know. (remember Sniper Wolf in MGS1 talking about how she was rescued and given a life by Big Boss? etc).

MGS3 hit the feels hard but MGS PW just crushed the feels even more showing how he still can't let go of the events in MGS3 10 years earlier, and then in MGS5 GZ we see everything dear to him (his family essentially) taken from him without provocation, which culminates in the creation of Outer Heaven and the need for nuclear weapons (Metal Gear) as a deterrent against epeen tripping super powers that don't like competition from a mean well group without borders or ideology or political allegiance.

I'm going to be hitting MGS5: TPP hard this September.


But yea, blow through MGS3 and Peace Walker back to back. It's an amazing story that will tug the feelz hard and get you ready for some vengeance in MGS5 as we see Big Boss turn to the dark side.

--

We will forsake our countries, we will leave our Mother Lands behind us and become one with this Earth.
We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology, we go where we're needed, fighting not for country, not for Government, but for ourselves.
We need no reason to fight, we fight because we are needed.
We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse.
We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the Era we live in; we will sometimes have to sell ourselves and services.
If the time demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, criminals, terrorists.
And yes, we may all be headed straight to Hell, but what better place for us than this?
It is our only home.
Our Heaven, and our Hell.
This, is Outer Heaven.

So I got a PS3 for the first time for its exclusives. PC Master race but this PS3 was cheap. What are some great PS3 JRPG/RPG/Games that aren't on PC? Playing Tales of Graces F right now.
