    Hey everyone! Here’s links for the games that have communities (both official and restored servers)
    Metal Gear Online: mgo2pc.com/
    Call of Duty 3: discord.gg/sDBfFPBYwA
    Far Cry 2, Haze, Splinter Cell, GRID, & More: discord.com/invite/z3Crm9acME
    Tomb Raider (2013), Space Marine, CoD Classic, & More: discord.gg/NbCUpq3RAZ
    They all run game nights on the weekend typically, and either offer low level lobbies or just generally go easy with new players so that people learn the ropes. Give them a shot if you’re interested. (:
    - Ryan

    It was a pleasure speaking to Mystic in the video (I am kid goku in the video 🤣).
    Many won't know this but Metal Gear Online may have had one of the first shooter battle royales in gaming with a game mode called Stealth Deatchmatch (SDM). It has the shrinking circle that damages health if outside and with a MGS twist. The game was so ahead for its time in many ways.

      Wouldn't consider it fully retro yet as it plays HD. The previous console's main display output was composite and were commonly used with CRT televisions, which makes them retro in my opinion. So I would say its on the verge of being retro.

    I’ve noticed some people have this odd mentality (to me) where when they move onto the next generation or title, they act like they can never go back like you must always play the newest consoles and games only. Screw that, even though I have a PS5 and Switch, I’ll still play my N64, PS1, PS2, DS, GBA and so on. You can always go back in one way or another so it’s best not to limit yourself to the just the latest of things.

I tried Resident Evil 5 mercenaries and there are is still somebody playing it but i was positively shocked when i saw hundreds of people playing Battlefield 3 Online and the game is still beautiful by the way!

    ps3 xmb & friends list menu was the best.
    logging in to that suspenseful “signing in” & seeing “account management” with a smiley was always a W.
    Trophy levels, comments & the color/avatar customization was A1.

    My best friend, and I just started Destiny on PS3 last Winter, since then, we have been playing it once a week.
    Feels always very strong for me cause it's an old game, and you never know when servers are going down.
    It is very special to me and my friend.

    My experience with Journey was amazing. I played late in the PS4 life cycle around 2017 on my PS3 I must of got it on PS+. I had no clue it was multiplayer and the person until we beat it and I got the trophy for completing it with the same person from start to finish. I love to take my time and look at things and they would follow me and stand behind me like an NPC. I was in shock when I saw it.

    My first real console online experience (well after the Wii which was decent but I only really played SSBB online, CoD WaW and Naruto CoN before I got a PS3. Also didn't really experience it on PS2 cuz the ethernet cable and dial up internet hassle, plus few games supported, and more importantly local multiplayer with friends and fam just never got me thinking about online play on it.) PS3 is what nearly got me away from PC online gaming for good. Every genre of my favorite games were endless competitive fun just to name a couple of my most played from 2010-2015
    Uncharted 2 platinumed -1k hours most underrated and cleanest online gameplay that generation
    CoD Black Ops I and II (I've always liked Treyarch's games more for multiplayer and especially zombies) -platinumed 5k hours altogether
    Warhawk -gem
    Borderlands 2 -fave co-op game
    Battlefield 3 and 4 -1k hours most fun and engaging with friends
    Tekken 6 and TT2 -platinumed fave customization and solo competitive play
    Little Big Planet 1-3 funniest and most wholesome experience local and online, just pure joy
    Resident Evil 5 and 6 1k platinumed 1k hours altogether
    Resistance 2
    DCUO -3k hours the MMORPG experience on the PS3
    Lost Planet 2 -most unique and amazing experience woulda played more if it wasn't so poorly optimized
    GTA 4 and 5 -infinite hours especially 5 (It's like having a second life)
    Assassin's Creed Brotherhood -another super unique experience and hella creative and cool AF with friends while outsmarting randoms
    NBA 2k11/2k12/2k13) -best of 2k without the need of microtransactions
    Midnight Club LA -roleplaying OL as Paul Walker or Han
    Dead Island -1k hours fave co-op
    Red Dead Redemption -500 hours of trolling fun
    Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and 3
    Gran Turismo 6
    Saints Row 3 -fun when it worked
    Crysis 3 (couldn't run on my potato pc at the time xD)
    Transformers War and Fall -underrated gems that perfected the online multiplayer formula
    Were the ones I remember playing nonstop and never got bored of. The most complete gaming span of my life so far. Now I only play Mobas, TCGs and old mmos that are still running for online on PC. I can't get into the newer shooters, sports/racing, fighting games or other genres online anymore as I feel like I played the best of them already on the PS3. Pokemon's the only console online experience I've enjoyed lately. How I miss that gen of consoles especially the PS3, still my favorite console of all time over PS2 and the Switch. And that span of gaming from 2008-2014 be it on my PS3, Wii, PC or even the boom of early mobile games, was the most enjoyable experience for me.

    I have the same PS3 I’ve had since 2008, and only stopped playing once my partner got my a PS5 before our daughter was born before Christmas last year. I played it right up until that point. Until the end. And it’s still going strong, and will never be thrown out. I will get it cleaned up and pass it onto my daughter. It’s historical importance in regards to gaming is quintessential. Timeless
