[Purist]

GTA V, it goes downhill from that.

 

[purseowner]

You should get Catherine and Ni No Kuni. They're both on sale on PSN for cheap.

As for what you own: Borderlands 2 and BG&E HD.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

GTA V, it goes downhill from that.

Nah. Red Dead is better.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Marvel vs Capcom 2, every single day.

And GTAV.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Out of the ones you listed I only have a lasting attachment to Resi 4 and Scott Pilgrim. So, those.

 

[LewieP]

Start with RE4 if you have never played that before.

Would recommend playing Final Fantasy IX twice.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I saw Life Is Strange is free, but it said it's not available at this time. When is it supposed to be up.

 

[Pandacon]

On that list, I would recommend Dead Space and Uncharted 2.

Assuming that you've not yet played any of these and don't have access to a PS4/Sbox One where re-releases are available, I'd suggest that you prioritise.these from your list:

Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3
Batman Arkham Asylum
Batman Arkham City
GTA V
Final Fantasy IX
Beyond Good and Evil HD
Super Stardust HD

 

[Tapejara]

Dead Space!

[NipplesAndToes23]

I already played some of these, but that doesn't way my opinion any. I still haven't played all those games in years with the exception of Final Fantasy IX.

 

[finley83]

Both Batman games are incredibly good. Also Uncharted 2 is pretty great (I've heard the first one is skippable).

Alpha Protocol is janky as hell but has an amazing branching storyline - if you pick the 'suave' option for every conversation choice then you not only have the ultimate Archer game but you also annoy a key character so much that he drops his entire escape plan just to punch you in the face.

 

[Rolf NB]

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Dead Space

Everything else of interest, except Beyond Good And Evil, already has a PS4 remake released.

Are you going to get a PS4 anytime soon?

 

[Korigama]

Of that list, I would say RE4 first. For something not on it, Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- is on sale for $20 as part of the current PS Store flash sale. You should get that.

 

[redunzgofasta]

Beat me to it.

 

[xezuru]

For the love of god why is noone is telling this man to get Yakuza, fuuuuuuuck

 

[AmyS]

Get Daytona USA, it's completely arcade perfect, and in HD 1080p with higher resolution textures.

I fear that one day, it'll be taken down from PSN and XBLA, just like After Burner Climax was in late 2014. Once they're gone, they're gone forever.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

With a vote of 3, it looks like it will be Resident Evil 4. Whoops never mind. It's tied with Dead Space so whichever receives four first I'll play.
I'm surprised no one said Destiny. I thought that was supposed to be hot shit!

 

[Bolivar687]

Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet, and Final Fantasy IX (it's on your list twice for a reason).

Also track down Demon's Souls, Killzone 2 and God of War III if you can.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That was a mistake. 2 people noticed that, but no one noticed I had Threads of Fate down twice as well.

 

[Tizoc]

The yakuza series

 

[WavekSra]

If I were you, I would not play the games that had a ps4 remaster. Especially Gta 5

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I'm not getting a PS4 anytime soon and also to anyone else, please don't suggest something I don't own. I'm not trying to buy more stuff before I play the stuff I already own.

 

[Arcane0ne]

Yakuza 3,4,5...

Dragon's Crown

Virtua Fighter 5FS

Sonic Unleashed - Generations

Okami HD

Sonic all Star Racing Transformed

Doa 5 Last Round

Kof XIII

Catherine

 

[Indelible]

You should play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood at some point, really high point for the series.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Bowl0l]

Does the new PS3 comes with a power adapter?

Spoiler

New 3ds joke

God of War 1 and 2? Red Dead Redemption.
Trails of Steel 1 and 2.

 

[abbyabs]

I would play the uncharted series and add these to your purchase list:

The last of us

Ni no Kuni

Wipeout HD

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Yakuza 3,4,5...

Dragon's Crown

Virtua Fighter 5FS

Sonic Unleashed - Generations

Okami HD

Sonic all Star Racing Transformed

Doa 5 Last Round

Kof XIII

Catherine

Damn, the very next post?

 

[wtd2009]

I just finished borderlands 2 a few weeks ago, had a blast playing it. infamous is pretty sweet too.

I personally am saving red dead redemption and the uncharted series for the end of my backlog. Gotta finish strong.

Keep an eye out for the flash sales every month, ps3 games are so cheap these days, and good ones are always going on sale. And on that note, pick up ni no kuni for $8 right now!

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Ni Nu Kuni
Puppiteer

 

[CharminUltra]

GTAV = not only GOTY 2013 but also best in genre
Okami HD = best Zelda-like you can play on the system

Edit:

Oh, and Demon's Souls. 2nd best Souls game after Dark Souls, and probably the best game on the system (after DS)

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Alrigh, now I got a three-way tie between Dead Space, Borderlands 2, and Resident Evil 4.

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

The Uncharted trilogy

 

[adamsapple]

Since it's sequel just came out, try the Trails of Cold Steel games, they start off a bit slow but are some of the best character-driven JRPG's of the last few years.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

The Uncharted trilogy

Now it's a 4 way.

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Now it's a 4 way.

What you could do is play the Uncharted Trilogy but mix some games in between each entry so you don't get burnt out.

 

[MikeyB]

I had more fun with RDR and Scott Pilgrim than anything else.

Find Driver: San Francisco on the cheap. Didn't sell well, but it is great.

 

[stn]

Get Yakuza 3-5. Out of what you have, play Resident Evil 4 first.

 

[Jubenhimer]

You definitely need to play Valkyria Chronicles if you own a PS3. It's one of the best Strategy RPG's this side of Fire Emblem. Or, I'd also recommend some of the PS2 Remasters like Final Fantasy X or The Sly Cooper Collection if you missed out on them initially.

 

[Korigama]

My first PS3 title. Well worth it, but you'll have to track down a physical copy, as it was never made available digitally.

Since it's sequel just came out, try the Trails of Cold Steel games, they start off a bit slow but are some of the best character-driven JRPG's of the last few years.

They're a significant time investment, but yes, agreed with this as well.

I can also vouch for Vanquish.

 

[Rival]

The obvious answer is beyond good and evil hd.

 

[Gojeran]

Demon's Souls and Dragons Crown.

 

[DoomGaze]

Wrath of The White Witch

 

[JinjoUnchained]

And here I thought I'd heard of all the major PS3 games .

Seriously, though, I'd recommend Arkham Asylum. I was so disappointed that the series went open world after AA, but the first one is perfect.

 

[Jachaos]

Oh you added The Last of Us.

Well there's your answer.

From that list, I'd follow that up with GTA V or RDR.
