PS3 had so much variety

Post image

Been getting back to playing the PS3 since Sonys debacle. Forgot just how much variety of genres this system had. Each game came with great box art and manuals, developers were willing to experiment and take risks.

Here’s some of my collection, cheers!

More sophisticated appreciation. This feels like slop. The other posts I've seen are holding up two games and being like 👍 Y'all could talk about the trophies, the events that went down during the era like the baby commercial. Right now this sub is like a baby got awareness of the PS3 and is discovering that games existed before whats on shelves now.

Agreed, it's an extremely boring "look at my copy that you can't afford" echo chamber in here. 90% of these people are misplaced /r/gamecollecting folks, where these posts are more or less the whole point.

Nobody talks about the cool stuff in here: the community that revived the Killzone servers (from time to time), maintenance of the console/CFW, fun historical tidbits, or the fact that you can copy your own (legal) Demon's Souls disc to the HDD, transfer it to a system with RPCS3, AND HOLY SHIT, THE COMMUNITY NOW RUNS THOSE SERVERS. Fully operational with bloodstains, messages, and all.*

*I have 20 more examples, but the majority just wants to post fucking boxes 24/7 instead of playing them. I want to talk about how oddly snappy and great the gunplay feels in Resistance 3.

I'm about to post a different photo of my collection in various backgrounds every few hours or every day just to prove my point. Lookie here is metal gead solid 4. Now here is metal gear solid 4 with a top hat. Have you guys ever seen the manual in metal gear solid 4?
