PS3 Online in 2022: Who's Still Playing and Why?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- It should go without saying that 2022 has so far been absolutely WILD. Major video game consolidation left and right, big AAA games coming out soon, and of course: PS3 games being played online. Yes, we're back again looking at various games to see just how active they still are. There's a lot of repeats but also a lot of new ones to look at this year, so BUCKLE UP. Especially because Terell Smith makes his return to the channel. And I think we can all agree with his presence, I've finally peaked.

“I bought the system, I bought the game, I pay for internet, and they still want me to pay to play my game?”
Dang that’s so true. Too bad that’s the future
Props to him for having principles. Too few out there like that.
Yeah but you can only be like that for so long. Evolution
Yeah you pay but you do get additional content and offers and things like that so it’s not really a complete waste. They need to make money.
literally
Paying for online is good because there are no cheaters, if online is free then cheater will make new account every time he gets banned
Amazing how much more civil it is on PS3 as the years go by. People who can't afford/don't want to upgrade to newer consoles and just getting on with life.
Older, more mature people who have decided they don't need the latest and greatest hardware to have fun. Unlike the droves of kids who play games they have no business playing. Videos like this make me want to fire up my ps3 and play online sometimes. Problem is my disk drive is busted so I can't play a good chunk of my games.
@@KronosX3T I mean the PS4 has some great games so can you blame people
I have a PS5 and still turn on my PS3 to play it, just fun to have and replay older titles.
When you get older, you understand that being nice doesn't mean you are a weak player, just a fun one to play with!
@@TheMovieChallenger same, the PS3 has so many good games locked on it. Planning to start Deus Ex Human Revolution and The Saboteur soon, after that I'm done with my PS3 backlog.
PS3 was the first console I ever bought for myself. I was around 14-16 and I just got $100. My grandpa took me to the local city pawn shop where he knew the jeweler and I got a PS3 with 2 controllers for $110. Didn't have enough for the change so thank you grandpa for covering me r.i.p. also didn't have enough for any games so my first games where all used older cods and stuff from my uncle. That was one of the best purchases I ever made. I made so many memories on that thing until the day it fried.
R.I.P your grandpa and your ps3 lol
What year did you get it?
rip
I remember when I finally got internet in my house and got to play a game online on PS2. This had to be like 08-early 09. Everyone else had PS3s and stuff. I was playing Battlefield 2 on there and there was this dedicated online community for that. It was pretty cool. Then when I bought Warhawk years after it came out there was this incredible dedicated community still playing. Idk there's something about playing what you want to play at your own pace and when you financially can. People are way more chill and it almost feels like a subculture lol. Great times.
Warhawk was and is still the best online shooter by a long way
I never played Burnout 3 online. Hopefully I can once they bring it back online.
@karim lavji yo thats awesome! I've heard of Hell Let Loose I'll have to look it up.
Warhawk 💔💔
I remember when I unknowingly picked up my neighbors wifi and I was able to play cod mw2 or 3 online it was 2010 or 2011, ohh the nights I was up to 4 in the morning enjoying online, felt like I was in the future it blew my mind
That guy who was talking about how he boycotted the PS4 is a absolute legend
Yes 😂
Why?
@@SweetKingTanner because everything he said is absolutely spot on. When you think about it, paying to play online is absolutely absurd.
@@SweetKingTanner Cause he realizes that paying to pay online on the PS4 is a scam
Didn't know the based department played Rainbow.
The two main reasons I still play PS3 games:
A) plenty of great games
B) the online is free
It's really free?
@@MrGaming-di2sx yeah
@@usmohavespucci9659 ah thx i want back my memories
I still have my PS2 with the hard disk containing many games 😁 idk why offline games satisfy me more
Mine is B) and Cod Zombies.
The man is a legend...! He didn't buy the PS4 because of the plus, if everyone Were like him playing online would already be free on PS4 and PS5.
Yep
Hey mystic thank you for these videos. I have been watching them the last couple years and got inspired to get a Playstation 3 again , found a wild deal with system and 64 games for 100 bucks. So I will be online here and there in 2022/2023. It sure is nostalgic. Thanks for making me miss the ps3. Before it was too late.
Respect to the Dude that dosen't want to pay for the online PS4
Yeah it's a shame that EVERYBODY makes you pay extra now. Besides PC.
You can get it for less than $5 a month to be fair
@@brandon_nope but it's usually $10 a month?
@@brandon_nope Yes, but some people don't have the money, or don't use it enough, i mean he does have a point, he pays for the ps4, he pays for the game, he has internet at home which also costs money, and then he has to pay again to put all those 3 to use? can't disagree with the man
@@brandon_nope 5$ in U.S , in my country is super expensive, you shouldn't have to pay to play online.
PS3 online will continue to be quite popular for awhile. One of the reasons is places like Brazil are a am absolutely huge market. Unfortunately the import tariffs on electronics are absolutely absurd. The PS3 has recently only became affordable. A friend of mine recently bought a ps3 for the very first time seeing as ps4 is unattainable let alone ps5.
Yep. This is also why the Series S is in production.
@@mikem2253 I got the series S mostly because it's so hard to get the X or the PS5. It's a massive step up from my PS4 so it's fine for now.
Idk how but I'd love to play Black Ops 1
@@iHaveTheDocuments Nice. I lucked out and scored a PS5 and Series X at retail. Happy to see Series S owners happy with their purchase.
L Brazil.
this is so wholesome to watch, i played ps3 from 2013-2020. it’s amazing to see people appreciating these classic games
I love that you keep doing this. I really hope channels like you continue to create content for the niche. Have you ever done a "Who's Still Playing" for the PlayStation Vita? :D
Not many people but I can still get into call of duty matches with like 8 people tops on average
The PS3 was an amazing console I also liked how the online was free.
And it was always down 😭😭
come and join ps3 psn 💪🏻
@@valistrutuI would like to get a ps3 since mine is broken I'm just worried if there are any good 3rd party controllers for the ps3 left
@@damikey18 there's plenty still. You still can find factory ps3 still sealed in their boxes for like $20
@@philipwilliams3427Is that on ebay?
completely free online? As long as it's supported I don't see ps3 online completely dying no time soon. Especially if the games still run decent
I can see it definitely dispending around the mid to end of the ps5 generation "which is now' considering allready the ps3 is a "retro console" and the ps4 is last gen which is wacky to think
@@survivalhh2995 I think it is weird to call a retro console, PS2 for me is fairly fresh in my mind despite being 12 years ago. My dad and I were late adopters of gaming. As in, we played on PS2 from 2001-2012. My dad did eventually upgrade to 720p, started PS3 around 2013, hell played on PS3 in 2013-2016 ( via minecraft ), and PC, though we had a ps4... I just never played on it due to 1. Why should we pay for multiplayer when PS3 had it for free and 2. NO VALUE ON PS4'S STORE, BUT VITA WAS 100% BETTER.
@@MaoRatto ,
Putting my PS2 to work online yet still today. 👍
@@survivalhh2995 that's a good point. The ps5 will probably push the ps3 into nonexistence soon. Even though countries like Brazil are really giving the systems player base huge population boosts. So many players that wouldn't be playing if online wasn't free. But in the end Sony don't care how many players are happily playing. They are concerned about how many players are happily spending. But maybe I'm wrong and they are content with creating such a prominent gaming community.
Nice seeing you here lol
The ps3 was the only console I never wanted to move on from. Free online & great games.
*9:10** haha my dad said the same thing to me back when he bought me a SNES, you should've seen his face when he realized that you had to buy all the games separately and saw how much those cartridges cost, how far we've all come!, really enjoyed the vid, thanks.*
I love that people still treasure these older systems enough to keep communities alive.
"We will be reborn.. "
@@coffeepot3123lol
PS3 is Legendary, the library it gave us was incredibly exciting! From PS Home to MotorStorm to Resistance and so many more. I miss those times.
PS Home bros! Y does no one appreciate it?
Loved ps home
PS Home was amazing. I wish they would bring it back or someone create something similar. I have so many memories with it. I hope to see RPCS3 find a way to make it work and the PC community be able to enjoy PS Home again.
@@rmt74358 There’s a group that’s bringing it back called project destination.
I had 3 houses and played Texas holdem in ps home while dress as clue from tron while drinking strawberry hill and smoking weed. Good times.
My fave reasons PS3 is still technologically relevant:
•Plenty of great PS2/3 & cross-gen games
•PS exclusives FTW
•Blu-ray & DVD player
•Plenty of apps
•Web browser
•Free online
•No red ring of rage
Lol ps3s die a lot just like an Xbox your just lucky it hasn’t happened to you yet
I've been watching this PS3 series you do since you first started it. It's fascinating to realize that multiplayer games have a different lifespan from single player games. In addition, it's fascinating how different gaming is perceived by different players depending on their interests. I know, it probably sounds like "duuuh", but it's still fascinating.
Here's what I mean. I've always been a single player gamer. It's always been that way, and it will always be that way. I play mainly JRPG's and Action adventure games. I play other stuff, but always single player. When the PS4 came out, multiplayer no longer being free had zero impact on my experience as a gamer and as a consumer. For example, I played Dark Souls 1 and 2 on the PS3. I played Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne (and now even Elden Ring) on my PS4. And it's all good. It's the same experience. Different games, but same experience. And yes, I remember engaging in PVP and coop on Dark Souls on the PS3 a couple of times. However, not being able to do that once I got a PS4 didn't affect me. I didn't miss the multiplayer component. Now I'm hearing the guy on this video explaining how he boycotted the PS4 because he had to pay for multiplayer, and it dawned on me just how different our experiences as gamers have been. I'm not even criticizing, I think he actually made very good points why he didn't want to pay. If anything, I actually agree. It's the fact that I had never, ever stopped to even think about that what fascinates me.
Aside from the time I got a PS4 pro and needed to upload all my save files to the cloud, I've never paid Psplus. It's been a non issue for me. I still don't have a PS5, but I probably won't pay when I get one either.
Watching this video also got me thinking about the lifespan of games.
I was coincidentally playing with my PS3 today. I played Fallout 3 and Kingdom Hearts 1. It's interesting that, because of my choice of games, their lifespan is kind of infinite. What I mean is, I'm sure it's hard for the people showcased on this video to consistently find other players to play with. If there are not players actively engaging with the game, then you can say that the game's lifespan is over.
That's not something I have to worry about. The games I play have a lifespan equal to what I choose to give them. Meaning, as long as I choose to play them, they'll be there.
I don't know. Hopefully I made sense with my rambles. It's just that I truly had a realization and felt like I had to talk about it.
Man when he booted up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 a wave of nostalgia hit me, that game was incredible - spent so many hours in that game. They don’t make multiplayer games like they used to
What a game that was i still have it on ps3 👍🏻
bro u don't know how much i played it with my uncles ,we were eight playing same server so much fcking people and it was so fun
i remember a discussion where someone said what do you think about seige ps4 and they were like it's rubbish and the recent alien trash lol and they were like rainbow 6 vegas 2 all the way. some were saying they liked vegas 1 better.
I love these videos Mystic, could you do them halfway through the year as well? It's so cool to revisit these older titles and meeting the people who still enjoy and cherish them
I like the little mini interviews he has too. It's always interesting to hear just why people have chosen to stick with their PS3, or how long some of them have been playing.
Yeah I play it allot still. Cant let these games die so I stick to ps3. There arent many games left you can play with people online and newer games suck with in game purchase and bad releases.
And that’s why many play on PC or in this case PS3. I can’t argue with them on paying twice for internet services.
Split second gave me so much nostalgia me and my brother would play it all the time and just had a blast. What a memory you brought up
Loved this video, I have a huge amount of love for the ps3!
I legit admire the Vegas 2 guy. As a consumer, I've become way too complacent. I do not approve of A LOT of the things Sony do or have done in the past few years. I never was a fan of having to pay for online, or limiting cross-play, or increasing the price of PS+ so many times, or the PS+ games not only falling in quality significantly since the service was introduced, but also becoming far fewer in number, and now $70/80 euro games. But what else am I gonna do? I still pay for PS+ because I don't want to lose my older Plus games, and I still bought a PS5 because I want to play the exclusives. Even though I thoroughly disagree with Sony's money-grubbing practices.
And then there's the Vegas 2 guy, who saw Sony charging for online and was like "Yeah, fuck that", then he just simply did not buy a PS4. That dude's living his best life. I hope to have the guts to be like him one day.
I’m fine with games going to $70. I paid $90 for n64 games 25 years ago.
@@bigt4135 Good for you. However I am still paying $60 for the games of practically every other publisher ($10 for Microsoft's), so you paying $90 for N64 games 25 years ago does not affect me in the slightest, nor is it a prospect I am particularly looking forward to.
Same but for me it’s a different reason I can’t get a pc because well duhh look at the prices and I want to play games with friends other than cod mobile and roblox so this is my only option
if I wasn’t a broke 15 year old I would so buy a pc (and then I probably would keep my ps4 for gran turismo

360 will always be better
@@Kaspehh that's not we're talking about. You must be an elementary school student bringing up a decade old console war back up. Buzz off
I liked how every game ran flawlessly with the graphics you paid for yet most games on ps4 will either lag like a bitch because they don’t care to optimize it for the olde console or because ps4s turn into cooling deprived garbage very quickly. I had the original glossy brick ps3 and it ran every game you threw at it the way it did when it was new until it got the yellow light and was a goner. It was probably fixable but I remember me and my brother having to pry the console open because it stopped working while gta5 was in it and we wanted that shit back😂
This is exactly the video I was looking for, thanks brahj 🤙yo ull the clutch sfiv segment, thanks for putting in a fighting game- wish we could've seen more of your friend's Dudley! I think there's more people playing sfiii than sfiv on ps3 online, surprisingly.
It’s amazing how active some of these communities are this far into the PS3s life. I’d honestly love to see a comparison video between PS3 and Xbox 360 online communities out of curiosity.
Yes and no because all new Xbox’s have backwards compatibility. So it wouldn’t be the same.

You're my favourite gaming youtuber, videos like this are always an insta-click for me. One of the few channels that is still about the joy of playing videogames rather than the weekly drama going on in the industry. Keep it up!
I feel exactly the same.
My thoughts exactly
This is a great video I can’t believe ppl stil play these games this is just amazing
idk why but just seeing that there are some people in this world who are still playing ps3 games online makes me happy in a good way !!
This is truly wholesome seeing some people still enjoy and have good times on these older games. Honestly feels like early 2010's again.
Honestly games havnt changed since ps3. Sure better graphics and processors yadda yadda yadda it's the same damn games and gameplay. There hasn't been anything truely next gen in a LONG time
My favourite yearly video, it’s always so interesting seeing all the PS3 soldiers still out there playing and I love the wholesome interactions you get with these players, now I wanna play Red Dead Redemption on my PlayStation 3

PS3 was my first game console, and I had so many great memories of it between 2009 and 2015. Now me at 16, looking back at it, it is still a great console.
The 360 was mine
I’m 15 and I still use mine Frequently, Some of my favorite games are only on PS3 like Sonic Unleashed and Batman Arkham Origins
Bruh I got my first console in high school
@@Terminal_Apotos Arkham Origins is also on Wii u
You weren't even born when the PS3 released
The fact that you do stuff like this is what makes your channel special.
PS3 was and still is the best console.
My whole childhood, and all the best games, the good old CoD games.
So many great memories. I was a late adopter for the PS3 but I had lots of fun with it. Great games. 😎
It's definitely inspiring seeing people still playing on these consoles, it's awesome to see it actually.
I managed to buy an immaculate PS3 slim 320GB off Ebay last year, after my huge original 80GB stopped working. Compliments my PS5 nicely. PS3 games still hold up well after all these years. PS2 not so much. PS1 is best left to my fond gaming memories.
I recently scored a PS3 slim from my next door neighbor.I now need a copy of Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
@@kzfive same! I have the first one. Never played the newer ones. Definitely gonna pick it up when I can
There are some amazing games on PS3. Especially the HD collections.
@@kzfive I just bought and played it for the first it's so fun! The boost and crashes are great! The fire zone is amazing
I never understood this mindset of "games not holding up." I still love my entire PS1 and 2 libraries. They mostly consist of games like Crash, Spyro, Jak, Ratchet and Ape Escape, and some obscure platformers on PS2. The only games I know of that I own that star "realistic" humans are Fighting Force and the Spider-Man movie games.
Damn I remember playing Bad Company 2 on the Xbox 360 online. That shit was so fun man, so many hours poured into it and don't regret it. Wish I could go back or at least experience that feeling once more
The fact that so many people were still playing mw2 on ps3 puts a smile on my face 😁😆😃
I love these yearly updates, wish you did them like twice a year
I bought a ps3 last year and it is one of my favorites. It has alot of great games, free online, and more.
I have ps4 pro and i really want ps3
Nice vid ghee giving me nostalgic moments
Hey, these ps3 online videos have always been great! Would be cool to watch a 2023 edition
It's really cool to see that PS3 Online is still alive and with a lot of people playing it, here in Brazil a lot of people still have a PS3, it ended up becoming an extremely cheap option for those who want to play something, I believe that if one day the PS5 gains backwards compatibility to PS3 games in a similar way to Xbox we are likely to see a huge increase in online players for PS3 games.
we can only hope!
That isn't happening
Id play ps3 games cause I grew up playing ps3 now I have ps5
Yeah that is not going to happen so thats why I’m getting ps3 again.
Maybe PS6.. don't hold your breath though.
That guy talking about how it's terrible that you have to pay for online now and how he will not settle for that was so on point. If you think about it, it's totally true what he says I mean you are paying for the console, paying for the game and it's already expensive, paying for the internet, the tv, and ALSO you have to pay to play online? It's absurd and I don't get how people has totally settled for this.
Yup its baffling how Sony got away with charging after it being free, shame that Xbox is the one who made that shit practice normal
imagine if there was a global boycott off online gaming and all of us as gamers had to sign petitions to get ps to drop this sort of practice

Amazing videos bro 😎
I agree with the guy boycotting the ps4 for having to pay to play online... Back in that generation the fact that ps3 online play was free was a big plus for players because xbox 360 already had pay to play online. I think if sony makes online play free again it would make a lot of people happy and willing to switch over to a ps5 when it will be available.
Nah hopefully they raise the price can’t let those broke back water country kids online
I completely agree Sony doesn't understand how good their reputation would look if they were to make multi-player free again it'd be a big step up for them and many many people would rather get a Ps5 over a Xbox for that reason
Wow. Pay more to play? Brilliant LMAO
Smh
I would like it if it was at least not so expensive.
It would be incredible if the server's for some of these games lasts until 2026. It would mean we would have 20 years of online multiplayer for PlayStation 3. I believe the last PlayStation 2 game to go offline was Final Fantasy 11 back in March of 2016, which was nearly 15 years after online multiplayer was first offered on the PS2 and we're already setting records here might as well keep going
Trust that Sony don't give a dam. I can imagine that they wish they could kill it sooner than later so the new systems will sell. Hope it lasts though for those like myself can't afford a new system every other year, boasting a new lighting system or a bit more processing power. ALSO.... check out my RDR 2 vids and c how the cheaters hate me.
FFxi went pc only. Still active
I doubt they will shut it down any time soon they still make money from it
Well most these games are backward compatible on Xbox so you don’t even need a ps3 to play any of these
Rainbow six lockdown?
The black ops 2 stuff has been happening since launch back then we ran into so many people modding the game. Ty for this video.
Love these videos
It was pretty cool seeing some ppl still playing these games. Rock on PS3!🤙
To the gamer speaking at 9:09 - 👍🏾👍🏾. This is the reason why I went to pc gaming, which i was lucky enough to get into before 2020.
Consoles are a serious money sink. Gamepass makes sense on pc, but even then I'm not too crazy about it.
Nice to see people having a good time and speaking respectfully to eachother
Great video Ryan , surprising how many people still play , Took me a while to invest in PS4 as i couldn’t justify paying to play online when it was free on PS3 and Wii U.
Love this types of vids!!
9:04 I totally agree with this guy!
That's why I have never bought the PlayStation Plus Subscription even after owning a PS4 for 4 years now. And for the same reason, I am not buying the PS5 or any future console.
Consoles are getting too expensive, so I'd rather just stick with my PC.
When i switched to PC i never looked back to console. NEVER.
@Rezonant Warrior A MacBook Pro is a PC as well. It just runs on another Operating System.
You can game on a M1 MacBook Pro, but your game library will be cut short. If you are really serious about gaming, you basically have no choice but to get a Computer running Windows.
Linux distros are also an option, but I wouldn't bother because it is an hassle to get everything to run properly and also very hard for inexperienced users.

i 100% agree with the guys who didn't want to pay for online. It's complete bs
Fantastic 😊 the ps3 online community is going strong i hope we keep it that way
FANTASTIC VIDEO‼️
That sound that mw2 makes when you find a lobby is heavy asf, love it
These videos are so wholesome and always bring back a rush of memories from when I used to play the same games back in their prime.
Back to simpler times 🥺
I've resurrected my ps3 just to play online again, Its Great to see people still playing this console.
I've at least two fat PS3 that need to be fixed but the issue is that I don't how the skills to replace the capacitors it seems that the only repair store is a half an hour drive from my home and charges just as much money as a cost to buy another console.
@@GenerationZ313 sounds like you're getting random shut downs red blinking light like mine 😭 yea.. after research I'm pretty sure the capacitors on my fat are busted too.. sadly.. it's only certain games to that crash it .
@@lunarblackstar1 one of the consoles has the yellow light of death and the other one turns on just fine for like 30 seconds before the fan starts blasting as loudly as a jet engine
9:05 great points man !
4:34 the inner hank hill really came out in him when he said yeah
8:17 lmao he heard rodeo and went right to singing
Awesome to see people keeping games/consoles alive after so many years, cool video :D
I love these videos man, It's great to see small communities keep their games alive long after their heyday. Hope to see you do another one of these next year!
I used to play Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars (The game created before rocket league)
I'm astounded to see PS3's online support is still going on and I plan to eventually set mine up again to see if that game is still alive
Oh my god you just unlocked a deep memory from me. Always played the demo. I can remember the Title Song too hhaha
I miss getting right out of (middle) school every day and playing MW2 every day also playing MW3 and BO1 as a kid. I'll never forget those days.
Great video, Mystic! It's cool to see just how many people still play PS3 online. Those dudes in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 were so cool to you, great to see. I don't blame people for sticking to PS3. Not everyone wants to spend bucketloads of money on the latest and greatest, and I respect that. We all play games for fun at the end of the day.
The guy boycotted it out of principle which is very respectable. If everyone had that mentality we'd all be better off.
@@DP12321 dude played vegas 2 since launch, he a survivor, based and redpilled
@@DP12321 but everyone has their own view on things not everyone sees it like he dose.
Why to love ps3-
- Legendary game line up
-Excellent graphics( for that time)
-free online!!!
-less laggy than ps4
-doesnt copy discs and updates
And many more
Less laggy than PS4???
Less laggy than the PS4? In what world? 😭
@@boomboominroomthe ps4 has had more lag than my ps3
Yeah that is absolutely true, with every software update the connectivity gets worse and worse for the ps4.
I rarely experience lag on ps4 lol.
Very nice video!
Keep the older systems alive. It‘s great to see online play still going good. A few days ago, I noticed some of my Xbox One games no longer have online multiplayer available. Servers have been shut down. Sad to say the least.
Mystic this is so great that you do this each year it’s so interesting to see who’s still playing and that it is possible to still play online etc with whatever game. It’s a shame that no one has come up with a way to run servers for games even tho there not maintained by game publishers to keep the fun going and stop e waste
So sad… I really miss Resistance 2 and Uncharted 3 online, sadly they’ve been offline a while now
Series that I always love to see every year . Wanna watch these side by side when we go from when this series started to like 2030 see how it's changed. Love seeing updates on these. Still go back to my PS3 every now and then. Even when having a PS5 and other PlayStations. Still catching up with a lot series so I jump on and swap between depending what I start or replay
Broke my heart when Killzone 3 had its multiplayer cut. People who played it will know that it was one of the best multiplayer experiences out there, rivalled if not bettered Call of Duty.
This is such an interesting video. So nostalgic. I kinda wanna start up my Ps3 now and play some MW2.
Man Split Second really was a good racing game. Used go play it all the time, loved the environment interactions and explosions you could set off to mess with your opponents. Great gameplay, wish they made a second one. Anyways, great video Ryan 🔥 Always love tuning in to watch your content
fuck yeah it was.
I miss Burnout as well.
Man that and Blur were sooo much fun online. That PS3/360 era was almost like a golden age for online racers
@@ThePokestopPapi blur is awesome one of my favorite racing games.
@@12soulreaver Such a gem 💎
Loved that game and burnout revenge
Please keep doing these vids Mystic on behalf of myself and the rest of your viewer's.
I have Xbox one, but before that I was on ps3 from day 1 and it'll be my all time favorite console no matter what. The memories, games, friendships I made over the years will never, ever be forgotten. And thinking back it Makes me tear up knowing I'll Never get to experience such fun times again for as long as I live.
i remember my sister was working in finland , from her first salary she bought a ps3 slim for me and my brothers , i think it was in 2013, we were so happy we played on for years, after we got a ps4 and as soon as i picked up a newer console just all the nostalgia and excitement was gone. It was a great experience and i passed it onto my nephew and niece , they stopped playing on it too. We had up to 30+ games. I will ask my sister if she still has the ps3 stored somewhere so i can fix it up and play all of my games again. Thank you ps3 for the experience in my teenage years :)
Man so many humble people. It makes me satisfied
I'm so happy you showcased Fat Princess. That was EASILY one of my favorite games from the PS3 era. If we got a remaster on the PS5, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Great video as always, Ryan!
Ikr i loved the game so much and the non stop chaos in online was the best i still play it once in a while
i love that you still make these videos especially since i love these videos because my ps3 is my favorite console
ah lets go , was waiting for this!
I love these videos bro classic videos games are the best in ways.
I recently hooked my PS3 up to attempt to earn a couple of old platinums I never attained back in the day. The console hasn't aged well in terms of speed and menu usability but once you're in a game it's completely fine. I love the PS3 and it makes me happy there are still people enjoying it!
what? the menus is the only thing that is better than the newer ones, the resolution and performance of games sucks balls, but the xmb is the best UI to this day.
If you have too many friends that can slow it down. Delete all friends
LETS GO DADDY MYSTIC KNEW I WANTED THIS
This was a fun video. I've been away from gaming for years because of life and have returned to download all the PSN games that I want to play before the store close in the future.
Some games I wanted to play before have been delisted which is sad.
I played Fat Princess a lot back in the day and didn't realize until now that Tom Kane was the multiplayer announcer
