A bit of a novel, but I hope you find this helpful, OP.

First, to comment on what happened on your call with Microsoft: maybe it's possible you just got one of the really bad reps? But then again, they got a supervisor involved and they still wouldn't just fix the situation for you? Especially seeing as you hadn't even used your subscription... that is pretty ridiculous. Well, I'm confident that you'll find the PlayStation experience an enjoyable one.

Honestly, this is probably the best time to try out a PS3. We're closing out on this generation of consoles and some of the best games of the last few years have been PlayStation exclusives. Especially if you've been using an Xbox 360 this whole time, you're about ready to meet a whole new world of incredible titles.

Quick edit: Just wanted to clarify... I'm including links to Amazon just as an easy way for you to learn more about individual titles. But just as /u/undeadwolfy mentioned:

>You can buy most of these pre-owned at a decent price. Some are digital so they're not much cheaper but still great.

So first and foremost, I highly recommend anything by Naughty Dog -- they are arguably the best developer in the entire industry right now. They released four titles on the PS3: Uncharted 1, 2 & 3 (each game is a must-play), and the absolute masterpiece that is The Last of Us. You've probably heard plenty of praise for The Last of Us (and it is well deserved), but I would recommend saving the best for last. It's such an awesome game that, after completing it, nothing else I played interested me anymore. It took like a month to get back into the gaming groove, so I'd save that 'til after you beat the Uncharted trilogy. It's that good.

Aside from that, there are some other great titles I'd highly recommend. I don't know what kind of games you're into, so I'll just list all those that I've liked, personally:

  • Metal Gear Solid saga (MGS 1-3 were released on PS1 & PS2, but they've since been rereleased in HD for PS3, alongside MGS 4).

  • Heavy Rain (A very story driven game, where the choices you make can drastically affect the storyline. Plus... boobs.)

  • Beyond Two Souls (Brand new, just came out. Similar to Heavy Rain in its execution -- story driven.)

  • God of War trilogy (Awesome, mature platformer. The first two games were for PS2, but were released in HD alongside GOW3 on PS3. Also has boobs.)

  • Little Big Planet 1 or 2 (A great couch multiplayer side scroller. Lots of fun, more of a kids game... or a game to play with drunk adults.)

  • Infamous 1 & 2 (An interactive comic book. An "open world" platformer that lets you shoot lightning from your hands. Has a cool element where you can choose to be good or evil.)

    Not to mention plenty of other great exclusives (Rachet & Clank series, Resistance trilogy, Valkyria Chronicles and more) and the tons of PS1 and PS2 games on the PlayStation Store for cheap, playable on your PS3 if you want to go old school. (Not to mention the many PS2 games being rereleased for PS3 in HD glory... I'd recommend Shadow of the Colossus, which happens to be free for PlayStation Plus members this month... hint hint.) Of course, all the multiplatform games are also here (Battlefield, Bioshock, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, etc.).

  • Oh, did I mention the PS3's online multiplayer is free?
  • And if you've got Netflix, you don't need to pay Sony a cent to watch it (unlike a certain other console's "Gold" requirement).

    That said, however, if you really want to jump in the game, PlayStation Plus is worth every penny -- a ton of free games each month (and we're talking major titles, in addition to a handful of indies), plus a large variety of other system-enhancing features and discounts. And if you're looking at getting a PS4, getting PS+ is a no-brainer. For one, it is required for online multiplayer on the PS4 (no such requirement on the PS3, but hey, they've got to make their money somehow). But what's awesome is that one PS+ account will work across both the PS3 & PS4, and enable you to get free games for each console for as long as you are a subscriber, with free games on the PS4 appearing on day one.

    Welcome to the new age. Now cue up some Imagine Dragons and get ready for a freaking awesome experience. We're glad to have you.

Let me fully explain the whole thing between #1 and #2. In Uncharted 1, you get to know all of the characters and get familiar with Nathan Drake himself. He's a badass, and although the game has some flaws (sometimes clunky controls, gets a little uninteresting a couple of times) it is still a very solid game. However, this game only has a singleplayer mode and no multiplayer, so you might want to keep that in mind.

I did a quick search and found it for $23.81 on Amazon

It's quite expensive, especially since it's been a couple years since it's been out but remember, I definitely think it's worth it. I bet you could even find it cheaper somewhere else.

As for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, it's quite simply amazing. It's like playing a blockbuster movie Indiana Jones. It's cinematic, and quite possibly the only game that is literally breathtaking. Character development is great, the story is very interesting, and I never felt bored at any time in the game. Literally from start to finish, I was enjoying every second of it, and I can't say that about any game. The controls are much smoother, and after you're done the singleplayer mode (which I played 4 times through, it's that much fun) there's also a multiplayer mode that is very fun. Might not be your cup of tea, but it's great to try out. The Co-Op mode is excellent, imo.

Again, on Amazon I found the Game of the Year Edition of the game for $22.88 (Which is surprisingly cheaper than the first one).

The GOTY edition has all of the DLC and add-ons for the multiplayer which I would say are all worth it.

Now, as for why you should play the first one. There are quite a number of references to the first game in Uncharted 2. Remember, Naughty Dog developed the game so that any person could pick up the second and be completely comfortable with it, but playing the first then this one you will really appreciate it. Uncharted 2 is also so good that you will probably want to play the first game after, just to play some more Uncharted. Unfortunately, you WILL be disappointed. Some people may prefer the first one for a couple of reasons but honestly there's no competition. Finally, it's really nice to get to know the characters and what they are about before you play the second one. Other than that, that's really it.

I really hope you find that helpful.

And as for God Of War, I highly recommend you play the second game. It's my favorite of the series, based off the story and gameplay, but on the other hand GOW3, is simply beautiful. It's almost euphoric destroying Mount Olympus in HD, and you'll see what I'm talking about when you get to it. There is a God Of War collection for the PS3, which is the HD rerelease of the games for the PS3, so you might want to look into that. I really don't think you should skip out on GOW2.

hahah sorry for the block of text btw, I just wanted you to fully understand.

uncharted 1 is really cheap. It's a fantastic game but you can certainly skip it if you want. The two storylines are completely separate besides some character relationships that were established in the first one, but I highly recommend getting around to it eventually. If you can find a way, play Uncharted 1 first. Borrow it from someone, or rent it.

u/watsoned · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I wanted to play the Uncharted series ever since it came out. But I didn't have a PS3, nor did I have the money for one or the drive to get it, at that point, just for one game. But when I finally got a PS3, it was one of the first games I got (thanks to /u/ALAN_BEFORE_TIME) and the very first game I played on the console. Love at first play, no friggin' joke. I loved the adventure part of it, but I also loved the characters and the story, which starts off as just a simple adventure and then turns into something more.

If it interests you, you can usually find the first one, by itself, pretty cheap since it's an older game. The graphics held up really well since it was released too. I didn't feel like I was playing a five-year-old game when I started it.

ETA: See? Cheap! $11 for a used copy or $15 for new!
