If I were going to die tomorrow, and I had never played a PS3 game before, which game would you recommend I play before entering the great unknown?

Really depends based on your personality or taste etc etc 

But I would say Heavy Rain for the pS3 or Last of Us since it captures perfectly that video games are now becoming an art. The power of character development, emotion, that flicker of happiness or sadness that is expressed in the face in the games, and then there's the great unique gameplay that would not get you bored 

Or if you were an action type person (Last of US is of course action but more action) I would reccomend either God of War 3 or if I knew you were quesy or something Assassins Creed (the first). God of War for obvious reasons but AC because of the philosophy it poses, the religious challenges, the challenges of morality, and how people perceive history. Plus: action.

And fianlly if I knew you had patience and not the attention span of the average gamer then the answer is obvious and my first recommendation: Skyrim.

I'd say the Last of Us overall, I can pretty confidently say it's the best PS3 game I've played. Since it would be your first and only PS3 game.

Personally though, I'd just go out playing Mortal Kombat. :P

I've rendered my copy of Skyrim unplayable thanks to all the mods I've installed (about 170). :( It seems some of them have clashed and now the game can't be played anymore.

I'm sure I'll reinstall it when I finally feel like playing through the Dragonborn expansion.

you can always copy your data folder which will save the modded version of the game for later. i used to do that with Oblivion and Fallout 3 before i started modding. make a copy of the data folder before installing any mods so that if a mod killed my game I could just copy the original data folder back in and start again without having to reinstall. works great actually.

There are tools on Skyrim Nexus which you can use to merge your mods, animations, and leveled lists so they don't conflict.

 

The problem is that even with the tools it's a lot of time and work. I'm not willing to spend a day or two just modding and updating skyrim, so I'm not playing it at the moment.

I don't really want to keep it, I've gathered so much stupid stuff and barely any of it is worth keeping.

Yeah, no point in wasting that much time on it. I think I'll just reinstall it. I'll try not to download that many next time.

it takes me 2 to 3 hours just to get Oblivion tweaked to where i want it. the problem is once i get the required tweaks I start believing there might be other little bits and pieces that i can add to the game to make it even better. and before i know it i've spent the entire day looking thrugh the catalogues of mods, downloading them, and trying them out. and in the end i delete all by the initial Oblivion tweaks i installed in the first place. and then like twenty hours into the game i'm burned out from looking at the game, and I've remembered all the insurmountable flaws, and i give up.

yeah.

Thuthfully i think Fallout/Skyrim/Dragon Age has better mods than Oblivion but Oblivion mods are AWESOME. The only mod i truly wanted tho but never worked for me was the Oblivion journal. A journal your "player" can write himself detailing his adventures...never even appeared in my inventory
