I'm thinking of buying a PS3, does the library stand the test of time?
I'm thinking of buying a PS3, does the library stand the test of time?
Nope, just emulate the stuff that didn't get ported
Only worthwhile exclusive is 3d dot heroes
Buy a console
Find a game that I like
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
besides the exclusives or some nip game here and there like Tales of Xillia, most of ps3 games are already on Switch, PS4 or PC so it's unironically better for you to emulate it.
Well, I think I know what I will play, GOW 3 and Dark Souls
Yup. Easily BTFO of the PS4-5 era.
And it's one of the easiest consoles to jailbreak and fill with games new and old, Sony's own PS1-3 titles and emulators of other systems.
Plus it's a cheap BD player, if you don't have one yet.
Some Pajeets hate it for this, and the fact that you can still own physical games.
Did the emulation accuracy hit 90%?
GOW 3
You got 5 GoW games on PS3, so you can technically play the entire saga that matters.
Dark Souls
Do you mean Demon's Souls?
Because besides getting to play the unbutchered vanilla version, I don't see why you'd get a PS3 for DaS specifically.
This babe here + the fact that you can play all of Resident Evils from 1 to 6, all Final Fantasy games from 1 to 13-3, and all Persona games from 1 to 3 makes it more than worthwhile
Dark souls because the one pc is fucked up and I'm too dumb to follow the guide on how to fix it
Persona games from 1 to 5
If you get one, make sure it's a slim or an og ps3 that can be jailbroken so that you can overclock it.
dude just overclock this pos that has god awful thermal design to begin with so it cooks itself even faster
are you mad
just pirate the non-Remastered edition.
Yeah, the one on the pic is the slim version
put in a bigger hdd BEFORE you softmod
SSD is even better
Last I checked some slim models can't have cfw installed on them.
Apparently this store I'm buying it from has it already modded
one time i took apart my ps3 slim to apply some higher end thermal place. man that cooler is poorly fabricated. contact surface is so rough it easy shreds otherwise pretty tough paper towels and what's even worse, its surface is all warped and not plain at all.
initially i had worse temps after reassembly. had to take it apart once more to apply more themal paste bc the just was no contact being made with a regular amount of paste that you would do on a pc build where you get an actually decently produced cooler. man, my cpu cooler has a fucking mirror finish. you can see yourself in it
Oh that's cool. Pretty simple to do yourself though. Does it come with an ssd too?
the ps3 cannot really take advantage of that. it might run a bit cooler or quieter but the main source of operating noise stems from the system fan. my point was to do it before the hack and not after. what drive you choose is up to you
Yes, it was the last good gen. Lots of games still stuck on that system.
yea, PC's still cant even run ps3 games they are so good
Why before?
i hear it gets more cumbersome after the hack and might cause some issues such slowdown (i think). generally it's just that you have some types of data on there that the official transfer tool was not designed for so it's better to do an upgrade while the system is still stock
does the library stand the test of time?
only if it's one of these specifically
Good library, stands the test of time
all the good fighting games
most of the good elder scrolls games
most of the good FPS games
most of the good japanese games
HD remasters of PS2 games (these are the best console games ever in my opinion)
Me and my friend both have these homebrew playstations and we swap hard drives of games to each other 2008 style. Very nostalgic experience and the games are very good too. I play Fallout 3 and UMVC3 almost every day
30 fps
no
just use a ps2 for ps2 games
overclock it
overclock the single most failure prone component of the entire console
Only if it has a 40nm GPU and I'm not sure many of those can do CFW. It's not certain the 65nm is durable because nvidia is fucking retarded.
Also no, it can't do TRIM it'll cook it. Just take a laptop HDD out of the scrap drawer.
All can do PS3HEN which is like 90% of CFW or some shit and you have to start it manually every time you turn it on.
And lose HDMI and wireless controller support (without significant bodging)? I'm good.
Not even close.
obligatory
Yeah, I still play mine. I just recently got the platinum on Mass Effect 2 after like a decade. I will never throw it away if only for Drakengard 3.
get a slim with HEN. does most of what you could want from CFW. and yes, there's plenty of good games on it, if only re-releases.
For me it's the super slim > slim. The super slim has a top loader BR drive which are far, FAR, less prone to failure than the front loader. Sure they can't play PS2 games but I already own a PS2 and even if I didn't my local retro store sells them for like $60.
The whole console is a freak because not only does the library hold up well but the online is still active nearly 20 years later.
its a good console.
The HD versions of ps2 games are the best games you get on ps3. Playing ps2 on it is bullshit though because the games that do work are always letterboxed

I bought one a year or two ago and still never played it once. I have a few games for it too (Uncharted, LBP, I forget the other one), all thrifted for cheap. The meme is true, it has no games
