Hey there. I've been out of the loop regarding home consoles, but I have the chance to get a PS3 for about 150 USD (equivalent).
My latest home console is a Wii, which I seldom use it and even then, it's only to play Smash with my brother.
I have a low-end laptop which lets me play some newer games with ugly graphics and some difficulty:
Just Cause 2 - Can play it fine, low res but still fine.
Dark Souls - Fine, but low res and some slowdowns
Dark Souls 2 - Too slow, too ugly at low res.
Batman Arkham City - Slowdowns, low-res
Earth Defense Force - Too slow.
Assassin's Creed - I tried 2, it was too slow to be playable.
Dead Rising 2 - Only by overclocking I could manage to run it at below-decent fps
So, I'm thinking about a PS3 because I want to play those games that I can't play comfortably in my computer, but also because of those games that are not available to PCs. From the top of my head.
- Demon's Souls
- Red Dead Redemption
- 3D Dot Heroes
- Ni no Kuni
- MGS 4 (And collection)
- Armored Core
- ICO /SOC HD
And because I don't have a Blu-Ray player...
Keep in mind that I'm not interested in a X360 nor a PS4/XBONE, so that's out of the question.
So, my question is:
Do you think there are enough PS3 exclusives, existing games and upcoming games to justify buying a PS3?
Also, how's the Homebrew Scene on PS3? What's there that is interesting?
