Boyah!

i have liked racing/sport games, and i have owned only one console, that being a sega saturn, circa 99. good times.

[Samus Aran]

do you guys still play uncharted 2 over uncharted 3?

why?

uncharted 3's multiplayer is completely different, it's been revamped and doesn't particularly feel as much like uncharted anymore

it's more serious, with a lot more shit going on. 2's multiplayer is sillier and less refined, but we (or at least i) find it a lot more fun.

Try out Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

and i've always been interested in action/adventure games i just never tried to explore this genre after a failed attempt with some original tomb runner.

lol jesus

oh boy, this isn't going to be easy

Well, to start, you can find Modern Warfare 3 for $42 on Amazon.

If you're interested in its prequels and related titles in the Modern Warfare series, you can find the original Modern Warfare for $20, Modern Warfare 2 for $30, and Black Ops for $40.

(i've never played any of the modern warfare games myself, but it's currently literally the most popular series of games in the world, so they're probably a pretty safe bet if you're a shooter fan lol)

Another series you should seriously consider is Uncharted.  The Uncharted games are the ones we play together most often, and it's the most popular exclusive series on the console.  You can find the first two Uncharted games together for a total of $30, and the more recent Uncharted 3 for about $54.

(if $54 is a bit much for you, you can always wait for the price to drop later on, because uncharted 2 is most popular with us anyway lol)

grand theft auto 4 and red dead redemption are also some of the most popular and enjoyable third-person shooters available, amazon has them for $28 and $36, respectively

The PS3 has one major racing game, Gran Turismo 5, which you can get new for $40.

if you'd like some shooters with a twist, the orange box and portal 2 are immensely popular, as are the bioshock games

mass effect 2 ($20) is also a great one

if you care to try fantasy/superhero-type games, infamous ($23) is incredibly fun

And if you'd be willing to try something a bit more outside of your comfort zone, there's a medieval action-adventure RPG called Demon's Souls ($20) that PS3 owners tend to fawn over.  Be warned, it's extremely difficult.

and then there's also the assassin's creed series

There are also some HD remakes of PS2 titles you might have missed, like the Metal Gear Solid Collection ($37), the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection ($39) and the God of War Collection ($24).  Each of these collections contains 2-3 highly acclaimed, but older games remastered for the PS3.  Some of them have sequels available on the PS3 as well, like Metal Gear Solid 4 ($19) and God of War III ($26), both of which I'd recommend.

The vast majority of these games are <$40, and every price is linked to its respective Amazon page.

lol have i missed anything

[Socks]

this will take me like a decade to play/know/experience.

i'm going to start slowly with one game for myself, one game for boyah, two games for myself, two games for boyah.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Yeah, I think that might be a good idea.

Since your priorities are Modern Warfare and a multiplayer game for Boyah, I'd just start with these two:

-Modern Warfare 3 ($42)

-Uncharted Dual Pack ($30)

[Samus Aran]

doesn't Modern Warfare have a continuity? might make more sense to start with the first one, if so.

it does, but idk if socks would care about something like that lol

[Hiro]

i'm pretty sure they're only very loosely connected, so it wouldn't really matter if you play the older ones or not.

tec is providing good information though. I would recommend Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition, Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 2, and maybe Gran Turismo 4 and Battlefield 3 for Socks.

If you want a really good headset, I would say get this one:

[spoiler]i'm laughing at how out of touch socks sounds [/spoiler]

[ncba93ivyase]

Demon's Souls

Dark Souls

[Mando Pandango]

Yeah, I think that might be a good idea.

-Modern Warfare 3 ($42)

-Uncharted Dual Pack ($30)

aaaaaaaaa what's with the html

anyway i honestly did not know the dual pack existed. i might pick that up.

[Socks]

it does, but idk if socks would care about something like that lol

i don't really, my only concern at the moment is getting something to play and such so i can get used to the controls/game etc...

i'm laughing at how out of touch socks sounds

i sort of tuned out the video game world and have not touched a controller in the last 8-10 years.

you should, it's an amazing deal

i don't really, my only concern at the moment is getting something to play and such so i can get used to the controls/game etc...

yeah, so modern warfare 3 is probably the best for you, if you find yourself interested in the history you can always get the older call of duty games later i suppose lol

[Commander Fuckass]

also for racing games get Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit or Shift 2
