Where do I begin with a new PS3?

Postby knoll3601 » July 4th, 2014, 6:27 pm

I got a PS3 a few months ago with four games. I went out and bought a bunch of games today. To be honest I haven't touched my PS3 but now I'm finally ready to dive in. Where do I start? Here is my game collection (cost just under $120 which is a pretty good deal in my opinion).

  1. Doom 3: BFG Edition (includes Doom 1, 2, 3, resurrection of evil expansion, expansions for doom 1 & 2, and new content)
  2. God of War: Origins Collection (includes the two PSP GOW games)
  3. God of War Saga (includes God of War 1-3)
  4. Jak and Daxter Collection (includes 1-3)
  5. Killzone 2
  6. Resistance: Fall of Man
  7. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
  8. Uncharted 2
  9. Uncharted 3
  10. Assassin's Creed 2 (I have the first on Xbox 360 but haven't played it yet)
  11. Assassin's Creed 3
  12. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
  13. Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Also, what games would you guys recommend?

We did one of these threads not all that long ago and it had a lot of good suggestions in it. That might be a good starting point:

Vexer, cut it down to top ten or five, or stop lying, one of the two. [tongue]

I think it's a great idea that he has a list of good games for a system he doesn't have (if he hasn't) good planning should he pick the system up. Do you have similar lists for other systems Vexer ?

Since we get these threads all the time, I really think we should just sticky recommendation threads in several of these forums so we don't repost the same thing 40 times.

Sut-Yeah, I could give you some lists of recommended games for the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox as well.

Hardcore Sadism-Most of those games i've already played on the 360, and I also listed the exclusive games that sound the most appealing to me personally.

@Vexer

I appreciate your enthusiasm for helping people, but this happens over and over:

New Member: Hey guys! Please recommend a few games to get started with for this system!
Vexer: Sure thing! "Posts five years worth of games"

You could widdle it down a little bit, at least.

@Rev

I agree about creating a sticky for recommended games for each system; these threads do happen fairly often (which is why I just posted a month-old thread for my answer).
