PS3 Titles Worth Playing

[DomitorInvictus]

Hey there guys, I need your assistance compiling a list of all of the PS3 RPGs (as of now) that are worth playing. Of course this all boils down to personal preference, but I need your help differentiating the terrible from the decent. I plan on collecting some more RPGs for this system in the future.

They can be any kind of RPG, action, strategy, whatever.

Please don't suggest titles that are inferior on the PS3 compared to another system. And I'm mostly going for retail titles here.

Hyperdimension Neptunia.

You're clever.

Eternal Sonata
Demon's Souls
Final Fantasy XIII (not one of my favorite FF's by any stretch, but I can't say that it's a wretched game or anything)
Hyperdimension Neptunia (very niche with lolicon fanservice... actually dungeons/battle system definitely needs work. extremely repetitive but cute)

Final Fantasy XIII (not one of my favorite FF's by any stretch, but I can't say that it's a wretched game or anything)

The combat system alone makes it worthwhile. Tied with Grandia for my favorite combat system of all time

Anyway, you can also add Valkyria Chronicles to your list

I was serious about Hyperdimension. I loved it. The second one is out next week.

I also really like FFXIII myself. Still have lots to play in it though.

Eternal Sonata looks awesome, too.

I'll add Dark Souls, Star Ocean, and Resonance of Fate. Dark Souls is the gameplay sequel to Demon's Souls, Star Ocean on the PS3 is better than the 360 since it's the international version with extra stuff (similar to how PS3 Eternal Sonata has more stuff), and Resonance of Fate has a pretty cool combat system and what I felt was a refreshing change of story compared to your standard JRPG.

Valkyria Chronicles is a really cool/unconventional strat RPG. Well-told war story and pretty graphics.

Vandal Hearts is pretty good too if you're willing to go download-only. Kingdoms of Alamur looks great (check out the RPGFan review) and White Knight Chronicles II I've heard is alright - it also includes the first game so lots of bang for your buck. The 2 Elder Scrolls games are pretty popular too although I haven't played them at all.

Some unmentioned titles:

Ryu ga Gotoku 3 (US version: Yakuza 3)
Ryu ga Gotoku 4 (US version: Yakuza 4)
Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! (Japan only)
Ryu ga Gotoku Of The End (US version: Yakuza Dead Souls)
Tales of Vesperia (PS3 version is better, Japan only)
Tales of Xilia (Japan only)
Tales of Graces f (localization in-coming)
3D Dot Game Heroes
Nier (two versions in Japan, US version is the Japanese 360 version, no significant differences in either version)
Enchanted Arms (PS3 version is better)
Way of the Samurai 3
Way of the Samurai 4 (localization in-coming)
Disgaea 3
Disgaea 4

Tons of great RPGs on PS3. There's a lot of other Japan only RPGs (lot of other RPGs period really), but I only mentioned ones I've personally played.

How can you not love XIII's combat when you can do awesome stuff like this



and I love taking these things down



Fast paced, strategic, flashy and team based. Awesome combat system. Reminds me of Grandia in that coordinating your party members attacks to hit simultaneously could really shut down or completely interrupt some enemies and bosses attacks
