@diseasedbagel: I did this exact thing last year and I wish I'd had more restraint. The console is still kind of expensive for what it is. The DS3 is the single worst controller ever created, those triggers alone are enough to drive me insane.
Also feel that while the exclusives are great, The Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, Ni No Kuni. None of them have blown me out of the water with such force that I feel it was a good choice buying the console.
The Last of Us was a great game but honestly I don't see why people worship it the way they do.
I really enjoyed Beyond Two Souls.
Played through the Metal Gear games again and have come to the conclusion that Kojima is in fact a conspiracy theory obsessed freak who couldn't write a decent story if he somehow fell into a novel. Does some fantastic stealth gameplay but in terms of story he is hopeless.
Ni No Kuni was great but again quite simple and didn't really surprise me with much of anything.
Gran Turismo 5 and 6 are both hamstrung by the shit triggers on the controller. I mean the controls are set by default to the X button and the best way to control the car is actually by using the right stick for acceleration. I mean COME ON! That is an utter disgrace!
Demon's Souls was great.
I also despised Uncharted. Played Drake's Fortune and the second you start the game to the end of it, you do nothing but gun down mercenaries and pirates. Literally the FIRST time you get control of Nathan he picks up a handgun and starts cutting down pirates. Turned into nothing more than a mindless shooter with some boring platforming parts thrown in seemingly as an after thought.
Overall I don't feel I've gotten enough enjoyment out of the console to justify the money I spent on it and I only spent £120. So really you need to be VERY sure that PS3 has enough games that you want to play and that your desire to play these games isn't based on the fanboy's unrealistic praise.
