@@jonasjonas22928 Yeah, because more people are playing online because of it, if PS3 charged online, than the player count would be different in many games.

It's like back to history, talking to those people, I mean when we got old I remember Call Of Duty Black Ops 2011 like if it's yesterday 9 years almost 10, I guess we slept long enough to wake up and see "who's still playing and why?".
Its refreshing to hear us kids, as a adults now, talk about having a good time in our old guilty pleasures. I was a Xbox fan boy, so it was Halo for me, but shit hand me a ps3 with Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War 3, and i'm set. Just turned 24 lads, here's to growing up gamers!
So Mystic, my parents are going to buy me PS3 with 100+ original games and I agreed with them cuz it's my favourite console. When I said to my friends they said PS3 isn't good cuz it's outdated. I said that's my opinion even if I younger I like old games
Ps3 people talked to everybody and learned to live as is, like in real life. PS4 people live in social media bubbles talking only with their friends while being influenced by sellouts influencers to pay for stupid stuff, making the most toxic industry wealth. The 83 gaming crash happened for alot less.
It feels so empty and sad to play games which were popular back in the day. Sometimes when i play an older game i get the weird feeling that i am alone in the whole world
Seeing the CoD4 servers be an actual Ghost town especially when you hear Price say that quote in the opening is fucking heartbreaking. I jumped on the 360 about two years ago and there was hardly anyone online. I know it's dead today.
I love this channel so much, it has a “good old days” vibe to it. No clickbaiting, no toxicity, no fanboying, no bullshit rumors, every video has such a high quality content, and also some retro content like this one. definitely my fave playstation channel ever.

@@denisn8336 I agree no it does not do it any justice I get that the PS3 was built on like a different chip and I guess that's why we can't have any backwards compatibility hardly but like at least remaster some classic PS3 games like I would appreciate that versus not being able to play hardly any of them now
@@denisn8336 i agree just straight up backwords comatibility would be good but psnow does do a good job tbh and i have been playing alot of games on it e.g uncharted 1 2 and 3, spec ops bioshock, and some of the battlefields, i recently got a ps5 switching from xbox and it was defonately a smart move
I cant pay for ps now especially when the games cant go online or the servers are done or hacked. I was tho I just wanna go back and play resistance since they didnt give us a new on or remaster the 3 on ps3
5:00 The teacher makes good points on why playing on PS3 is still a great and different experience compared to the newer consoles. Free online, public chat that more use.
I bought a ps3 but when the ps4 launched I was like "wait, I gotta buy another one?" then went to PC. Can still play online half-life 2 deathmatch for free even though I bought it on the ps4 generation. Feels great.
Same here, Fortunate FL is keeping MW2 but on Xbox 360 though. I'm trying to keep these games alive by adding people from discord and reddit. Some youtubers have joined.
right now im looking at my ps3 covered in dust and just thinking about the memories and the imaginations it took my little mind as a kid. Now im 17 and i have a part time job and im in trade school. Kids these days should be thankful with what they got even if there in hard environments because it will impact the person they will be in the future. Being a kid is precious because the next thing you know is that your signing a contract for a 6 digit job and you have 2 kids you would need to look after. So how long is your ''now" gonna be.
Lol PS3 is my newst home console other than Wii U but I think at one point I hadn't been online for 2 years because I didn't want to update firmware and couldn't be bothered to check if CFW still worked.
yeaa when the PS4 came out i made a new account which i still use my first Account i made was in PS3 times i have a lot of friends with my PS3 account back then today i started up my PS3 after years and seeing nobody is online all of them were last online 5-6 years ago its so sad i remember played with them every day bo1 zombie or mw2.
Anyone remember PS Home on PS3? I made sooo many friends there wonder what they're doing or whether they're still alive PS3 times were the best Gaming time in my life.
This was the peak of my online "gaming" experience for me. Not a single game that's multiplayer will be able to live up to what ps home gave me and all the memories i made with other ppl there 😖
@@Nemesislord001 PlayStation don’t get money from your Internet provider. Sadly if it was free, the consoles would be more expensive, there would be less deals in the market place, hardly any updates and worse connection. Sony still needs to pay employees to keep the service maintained and to a standard. Or you’d get like on PC riddled with hackers.
@@MrSteamedchicken I know they don’t get money from the internet provider but what I’m saying is by the time you pay for a console then the game then the internet then an additional fee for membership the cost to play games starts becoming too much. Regarding console costs I doubt there would be any difference since the PS3 and Xbox 360 had hardly any price difference despite the PS3 having free to play online. And that’s the reason why it bugs me; since the previous console had it with no problems and the pursuit for money they decide to charge for the new consoles. Moreover the further concern is the fact that over time new generation consoles will begin charging even higher fees as seen by the cost of consoles and games (e.g. a new PS2 game used to cost £30, the PS3 then charged £45, the PS4 then charged £55 and now the PS5 £60) or the fee for membership will begin increasing or even worse they’ll charge new fees over random previously free features. It’s due to this I waited years after release of the PS4 to get it and any of its games and the reason why I’ve decided to give up all together on getting a PS5.
@@Nemesislord001 Quite frankly, as a solely ps3 player during that generation, the Xbox 360 infrastructure for Xbox live was leaps better than psn. As soon as the PS4 came out with paid subscription, it became leaps and bounds better and rivalled Xbox live. You just get what you pay for. Money wise. In my country the UK. Online costs as little as £4.17 a month. That’s the equivalent to a very small McDonald’s meal. I understand people find it hard for money but that’s almost half the minimum wage an hour. £4.17 for unlimited hours of fun with friends on games. I’d be in support of a free online system but from what we’ve had to learn from it is Pc is riddled with hackers, Nintendo switch online is still years behind and ps3 which was barebones and a lot worse than Xbox live at the time. In a ideal world the quality wouldn’t dip for a free service but in the real world it’s not possible. I would argue that PlayStation should do two options. A cheaper model for people that want just online and no extra games they may not even want. And for Sony to offer a game pass that’s separate from ps +.

@@MrLachapell reason why i say graveyard is because it just doesn’t feel the same playing these old games, especially mw3 and bo2. kinda feels depressing cause it feels like i’m trying to relive old memories
Yeah it feels really weird looking at the video. One side its very warm, nostalgic feeling seeing all those people still playing games online with their old ass ps3. Driving around in GTA5, playing matches etc. as if the PS4, PS5 never happened in their world. Just enjoying that free online. Playing those old games. Other side its also depressing seeing those game that didn't survive and are just empty lobbies, no sign of life - just loneliness and silence. Absence of everyojne. Eventually every game on the ps3 will end up this way and even the last game will lose its last active players.
@@BlackChad792 No, it wont. I have no intentions whatsoever to buy a ps4 or ps5. In a worse case senario, i will just play ps3 on a emulator, just like i do on sega master system; mega drive (genesis); snes, gameboy and psp.

right now im looking at my ps3 covered in dust and just thinking about the memories and the imaginations it took my little mind as a kid. Now im 17 and i have a part time job and im in trade school. Kids these days should be thankful with what they got even if there in hard environments because it will impact the person they will be in the future. Being a kid is precious because the next thing you know is that your signing a contract for a 6 digit job and you have 2 kids you would need to look after. So how long is your ''now" gonna be.
I play ps3 sometimes for the nostalgia and it’s so sad seeing the ” latest online more than 2 years ago ”
Lol PS3 is my newst home console other than Wii U but I think at one point I hadn't been online for 2 years because I didn't want to update firmware and couldn't be bothered to check if CFW still worked.
yeaa when the PS4 came out i made a new account which i still use my first Account i made was in PS3 times i have a lot of friends with my PS3 account back then today i started up my PS3 after years and seeing nobody is online all of them were last online 5-6 years ago its so sad i remember played with them every day bo1 zombie or mw2.

It would be because games are free to play online.
Yep it was defo bs for them to charge to play online especially when you pay to purchase the console, game, and internet itself
@@Nemesislord001 PlayStation don’t get money from your Internet provider. Sadly if it was free, the consoles would be more expensive, there would be less deals in the market place, hardly any updates and worse connection. Sony still needs to pay employees to keep the service maintained and to a standard. Or you’d get like on PC riddled with hackers.
It's was free to outplay xbox and after a few years it just made sense to make people pay as them doing it for free never made much difference.
@@MrSteamedchicken I know they don’t get money from the internet provider but what I’m saying is by the time you pay for a console then the game then the internet then an additional fee for membership the cost to play games starts becoming too much.
Regarding console costs I doubt there would be any difference since the PS3 and Xbox 360 had hardly any price difference despite the PS3 having free to play online.
And that’s the reason why it bugs me; since the previous console had it with no problems and the pursuit for money they decide to charge for the new consoles. Moreover the further concern is the fact that over time new generation consoles will begin charging even higher fees as seen by the cost of consoles and games (e.g. a new PS2 game used to cost £30, the PS3 then charged £45, the PS4 then charged £55 and now the PS5 £60) or the fee for membership will begin increasing or even worse they’ll charge new fees over random previously free features.
It’s due to this I waited years after release of the PS4 to get it and any of its games and the reason why I’ve decided to give up all together on getting a PS5.
@@Nemesislord001 Quite frankly, as a solely ps3 player during that generation, the Xbox 360 infrastructure for Xbox live was leaps better than psn. As soon as the PS4 came out with paid subscription, it became leaps and bounds better and rivalled Xbox live. You just get what you pay for.
Money wise. In my country the UK. Online costs as little as £4.17 a month. That’s the equivalent to a very small McDonald’s meal. I understand people find it hard for money but that’s almost half the minimum wage an hour. £4.17 for unlimited hours of fun with friends on games.
I’d be in support of a free online system but from what we’ve had to learn from it is Pc is riddled with hackers, Nintendo switch online is still years behind and ps3 which was barebones and a lot worse than Xbox live at the time. In a ideal world the quality wouldn’t dip for a free service but in the real world it’s not possible.
I would argue that PlayStation should do two options. A cheaper model for people that want just online and no extra games they may not even want. And for Sony to offer a game pass that’s separate from ps +.
Man I loved this. I was an Xbox 360 kid and never owned the PS3, yet I still have nostalgia for it.
