Hi everyone! I got a stellar deal by saving up 4 years of best buy gift cards. W/ the game and extended warranty my PS3 only cost me 159 bucks!
The main reason I bought the system was in anticipation of FFXIII and FFXIII Versus. My cousin want's me to get COD4 so we can play online and I heard that it is pretty awesome so It's a definite buy. I was wondering if there are any decent RPG's out there right now though. The reviews I read on quite a few showed repetitive action-rpg fighting, or got relatively poor reviews. Does anyone have any suggestions? Mainly I checked out IGN and Google'd stuff. I'm wondering if there are any hidden gems as of yet that I've not found and hope someone could list a couple.
Thanks!

RPG wise I think you're pretty much limited to Enchanted Arms, Untold Legends:Dark Kingdom, and Oblivion(plus Wild ARMs on the PSN store). Also Marvel:Ultimate Alliance I guess. If you got the 80GB system, you have most of the PS2 library of RPGs. RPGs usually take longer to come out on the system.
Get Folklore tho. Folklore is good. It's more of an action adventure, but it's a good story. And it has Keats.
Ratchet & Clank
Two best exclusives, although they are both single player.
Also Oblivion is really good.
Ratchet & Clank
Uncharted
Rock Band
COD4
Warhawk
Oblivion
Heavenly Sword
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
these are the games you need if you don't own any other systems.
And if you do?
Oblivion PC > Oblivion PS3 > Oblivion 360, assuming your PC can handle it. (Also PC and 360 have slightly more DLC available)
I haven't really seen any conclusive evidence showing COD4 being better on one system than the other. On PC it supports KB+M controls and 32-player online; this is one of the very few games that doesn't really need either one, though.
And Rock Band is definitly better on 360 due to voice chat working, as well as non-RB guitars. (Though the PS3 guitar is wireless)
A note about Warhawk: A) It's extremely awesome and every PS3 owner who plays online should have it;
Then buy the multi-platforms on the 360, of course :P
I just got it for my PS3 a couple of days ago, can't put it down
I just bought Warhawk at Fry's and they were selling a stand-alone version without the headset for $40. Great if you already have one and don't want it to be tied to one account.
Thanks for all the info!
54 players, I believe. Although, the maps weren't really designed for this amount of players.
COD4 looks *much* better on my PC than my PS3. Much.
for me at least, i attribute this to my monitor
I have a nice 21" LCD on my PC, and only a small TV that isn't HD to play my 360 and PS3 on, and for example Need for Speed Carbon looks MUCH better on my PC.
As for warhawk, if you don't have a Blu-tooth head set just get the disc version with the head set. It's a better deal in the long run.

Eh, I REALLY didn't like Enchanted Arms or Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, but I definitely second Folklore.
I should note that I don't have a PS3 myself (yet) but I had rented Enchanted Arms on 360 (and really didn't like it) and the demo I played of Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom was terrible.
Gameplay wise, it plays kinda like a mix between Pokémon and Kindhom Hearts. You map a 'Folk' to each of the face buttons and they each have a unique attack you use to fight enemies. All real-time, not turn based. The boss battles I've done have been pretty fun.

Keep in mind the full game has voice acting (apparently) and a couple of other bits and bobs missing from the demo.

The Voice acting for Keats is great, he needs more actual speaking parts rather than comic book scenes.

Heh my setup is the opposite... I have an old 19" CRT on my PC and a 42" 1080p plasma on my TV.
Fair enough. (I don't have a PC that'll play it) How about the control differences? I can't imagine playing it without a controller, the aim down the sights feature is (to me) exactly what controller-driven FPS games have always needed.
Also, 54-player online? Um, wha? I heard 32, and that's what the COD4 thread was saying for a long time. (Up until I stopped reading it, anyways)
Yeah, 54 players. It's horrible though. I try to stick to 32 max.
Most maps are more than crowded with just 16, so yeah.
Try putting the maximum number of people in that small map with the metal cargo containers. It is just madess.
Oh boy...
Well every FPS is better suited for a mouse than for a limited-motion joystick (controller analog). It's been argued to death, but it's just a fact: KB+M is a quantitatively better control method for that type of interface. That doesn't mean people can't prefer a controller, and that's really what it boils down to, what you prefer. Personally after using KB+M for many thousands of hours over the years, using a controller feels so slow and clunky that I can't stand it.
But anyway that had nothing to do with COD4, just consoles in general. As for COD4 I'm not sure what open sights aiming changes, I didn't notice the controls being particularly improved from any other console FPS I've played. But unless somebody particularly dislikes KB+M controls I would highly recommend the PC version. It looks better, it has more features, and there's the possibility that we'll get some mods or user created levels soon enough.
