Should I just get a PS3?
|
| Ps3 isn't a bad buy imo if you hack it, and with the recent release you can hack any phat and some slims on the most recent firmware.
(It's nice because you can pay whatever and also dump games for rpcs3 easily)
| -List PS3 games that you want to play
-List Nintendo franchises that you like
-Do you have a PC? If so, how good is it? What's the CPU/Processor?
-Is being able to play game in bed/toilet/bus/train a big advantage for you?
| Ps3 is g u d.
| >>242585 this is probably the best thing to do
Also, if you ever plan to get a PS4 too, you're kinda wasting your money on getting a PS3 port of P5
| >>242585 Def Persona 5, maybe Uncharted, maybe I'll finally be able to enjoy AC4. Maybe like dozens of RPGs I've been missing.
Zelda, Splatoon, Mario Odyssey? But I'm not too into Nintendo. Switch being portable is a really big plus for me.
I only have a laptop. It can run Bayonetta and 2012 Tomb Raider well. AC4 is playable, but the lags annoy me. Nier Automata runs at... 17fps.
I can only get one, so if I get a PS3, then no PS4.
| Oh, and that's op talking btw
| >>242644 Hm... that's pretty split in the middle. no wonder you are having trouble deciding.
Now, do you have a problem with not being able to play new games?
If you have no problem, then go for PS3, If you often drools at new games even when there are many old games that you want to play, then go for switch.
I'd suggest other gurls to pitch in.
| Op here, bumping the thing. I'm leaning on the PS3 but ho dangit I am looking forward to SMT V.
| I've one gathering dust for ages. Not really much going on there. I'd gladly sell it for cheap with my fuckton of games, but I've lost the gamepad homing usb and am too lazy to go find another one.
| Hi, I am a PS3 owner. Well it depends on your needs, if you are ok with older titles, than yes go for it but make sure its model than can be modded incase you're into piracy, even if you aren't I still recommend. I've had mine for 2 years and happy with my purchase.
| You gotta realize that new games will come out for the switch, games that maybe will interest you
| if you can just save up for a good pc then you can just emulate ps3 and nintendo games on there because buying a console with no action is kind of silly imo
however if you really want a switch because of other factors then yea just go for the switch man, ps3 barely has exclusives that you cant emulate on pc in the future
| >>245120 switch emulator doesn't exist yet afaik and rpcs3 runs some stuff but the easiest way to get isos is to dump them yourself
| >>245397 getting the ISO is the least worry that you have when using rpcs, really. The hardest one to find for me is Yakuza 3, but other stuff can be found in some websites.
| Hard*

Op here, and mate, saving up for a good PC would be like four times saving up for a Switch. I'm specifically looking for a console because I'm tired of getting AAA to run on my mid-tier PCs.
| >>247264 I agree and disagree.
Agree that building a good PC now is too expensive. Unless you built your system 2-3 years ago and just need a CPU/GPU upgrade, you'd have to save a lot of money.
Disagree with how you think consoles are more than mid tier PC. Console is basically a pre-build mid tier PC. Running games on upscaled resolutions, and 30pfs; sometimes less. You can do a lot more with high-tier PC.
| >>247320
I meant as in, console games are guaranteed to run on their designated consoles. PC Gaming, on the other hand, is a whole can of uncertainties
| There are certain games that you cant get unless you get a PS3. You use RPCS3, provided it is on that emulator yet.
The real question is, are going to be playing it a lot, or just for certain games?
I mean there is also the bonus of it being region free, but its language barrier is the make or break deal for that.
Plus if you do get a PS3, you always mod it for your own ends.
| I have both PS4 and PS3, both are amazing, but if there are games only playable on ps3 that you really like, then get a ps3 since those games would be super fucking cheap.
| No. You should definitely buy the Switch over PS3. The only game that has come out for PS3 the last year or so, is Persona 4. Switch has tons of cheap, high quality games. Some of the best indie games in existence are on the Switch, and they barely cost anything.
The Switch is also current gen, so it keeps getting more and more games, and has a lot of really good exclusives.
Even if you have to wait even longer, it's definitely worth the wait.
| >>247328
Yup. That's one of the reasons why I almost solely play on my Switch now. All the games that are there, work there. (Except for that WWE port. That can't run for shit.)
While on my Mac, some games run perfectly, while on some I need to lower my resolution, and some I can barely play on the lowest settings, and some I can't play at all. Sometimes because they need too much power, and sometimes because they don't have Mac support. Now I don't have to think about that.

So yes, get a PS3..
| OH shit I forgot Bayonetta 3 is coming to Switch

| I was saving up for the Switch, but then I did some math and realised it'll take a couple more of unsure months until I have enough. The PS3 though, is cheap and I can play Persona 5 with it.
It's pretty old though. Most PS3 games have PC version now. Do you gurls think it's still worth it?
