We should have a "random ****" thread in this forum imo - Page 205 - Video Games

I'm trying to find a few games to pick up for PS3. Older games are fine as I've played very few games on my PS3 so far (namely Uncharted 2/3, GTA V, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and Borderlands 1/2). I really liked all of those except Uncharted 3 started to drag on for me.

Anything similar to Deus Ex Human Revolution, or Zelda? Or really, just any must-play PS3 games?

I was looking at MGS4, Tomb Raider, Ratchet and Clank Future, and the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus collection.

If you mean old school Zelda, 3D Dot Game Heroes is awesome despite the terrible name. I imagine its pretty cheap by now too.

Also Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games of all time so I def recommend playing that as well.

God of War series as well.

I looked at Mass Effect and Demon Souls but the descriptions/reviews made it seem like they weren't quite right for me. Not sure why.

Thoughts on Far Cry 3, Hitman Absolution, Darksiders 2, or Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag?

As a fan of the Hitman series, I really liked Absolution a lot. Most fans complained it was too linear and not "mission-based" like the previous titles, but I actually preferred it to the clunky execution of Blood Money. I'd place Absolution as one of the best iterations, second to Silent Assassin.

All 4 are really fun games and very different from each other. I wouldn't recommend one over the other because they're all from different genres. Far Cry 3 will probably keep your attention the longest though if that's something you put value into. Darksiders 2 is really underrated imo, great game.

Cool, sounds like I have a solid list to choose from. Probably going to start with Ico/SotC, and then pick up Far Cry 3, Hitman, and/or Darksiders 2.

3D Dot Game Heroes does look intriguing...

Thanks guys.

Thanks, good read.

As BioShock entered its final year of development, the pressure on the team to work ever harder increased. "Two of the lowest points on BioShock's development were when mandatory six and later seven day weeks were instituted," says LeBreton. According to the designer the decision to force the team to work without days off came directly from Levine; the game's producer, Alyssa Finley (who would later become studio head of 2K Marin) was against the move. "I'm dubious of any real quality gains from the decision," says LeBreton, "especially given the morale cost."

I'm curious how long that lasted, because they kinda sound like pussies. Unless you work at one of those "it's done when it's done" companies that gives 0 ****s about deadlines and budgets, I'm not sure how you get a game done without some kind of crunch phase.

Levine being a giant ******* probably didn't help.
