I'd personally add Gran Turismo and the Uncharted games to that list of quality titles, but you're still at a 90%+ crap ratio. There's like 150 games on that list and I would be hard pressed to find 15 that I would ever want to play, even if they were free.
Yeah I had listed Uncharted 2 on there, but I played that one first and then found Uncharted 1 and 3 underwhelming after 2, which was fantastic. God of War Ascension was an absolute joke

They need to move some cheese on that. Never was much into racing games. I was surprised by Ni No Kuni...

I should probably add The Journey on there as well. Played the crap out of that only because it was different, the graphics were gorgeous, and the only way you could communicate with the other player that showed up with was pings.

Eh off that list I would pick these

3D Dot Game Heroes
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten
Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness
Dragon's Crown
God of War III
inFamous
inFamous 2
Katamari Forever
Killzone 2
Killzone 3
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance 2
Resistance 3
The Last of Us
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Valkyria Chronicles
Yakuza 3
Yakuza 4
Yakuza: Dead Souls

All games either I enjoyed, or my kids enjoyed the shit out of. My son plays Little Big Planet and 3d dot heroes all the time. 3d dot heroes was basically one big love homage to the original Zelda.

I'm not an anime fan, by the way.

Disgaea 3 and 4, and dragons crown are also on vita, Katamari was also on 360. I think I actually had more fun with the Xbox 360 exclusives. Early on for some reason it got a lot of exclusive stuff in NA that didn't come to US on PS3 for awhile (eternal sonata, tales of vesperia, ace combat 6, gears of war, Lost Odyssey. Oh, and spectral force: a game only me and 3 other people in the world have anything nice to say about). Then sometime around 2009 the 360 stopped with notable sequels and ps3 came into its own.

I haven't played the killzone or resistance games and kind of overlooked them since the hype was gone by the time I got my ps3, how do they stack up? My PS3 pretty much just became my demon's souls machine (which is fine since it's one of my all time favorite games ever and the only reason I slowed down is because dark souls exists), though I still have half a dozen to play sitting on my machine that I've heard are decent, like ni no kuni.

What, you weren't impressed with "Boku no Natsuyasumi 3" or "Touch, Shot! Love Application"? Seriously, 90% of that list is total shit that nobody outside of rabid AnimeFags would want to play.
Utnayan and you are being extremely dishonest with that one or have very little grasp of arithmetic. For shit and giggles, I removed from the list all the titles I did not know and then all the titles made in Japan (no matter their aesthetic, so I removed games like Gran Turismo and Demon's Souls) and I was left with more than a third of list. Also, if in this 140+ games list (that is incomplete - Flower where are you?) you can only find 7ish that you feel is not "complete fucking ass", it's probably a good time to find another hobby or to learn to count past 6. Even an extremely conservative list of solid games made me reach 20+.

Even then, the list is longer than 7 titles, and the games that came to vita did so after they were ps3 exclusive usually.

I dunno, you're free to disagree, my point was just that I could easily name that many games on that list that I enjoyed and wouldn't classify as shit. They weren't all GOTY material, but as a gamer, someone who plays games because he enjoys games, I certainly wouldn't limit my list of games out of that tally to just 7 and call all the rest outright crap.

There's definitely some crap in there, but whatevs.

I definitely didn't enjoy the 360 this entire last generation. It was always my last choice and I haven't even had one plugged up in over a year now, if not two or more.

Well, yeah. I could probably bump it up to 20ish titles if I had more time on my hands too. I'm not really arguing anything here, I sold my Xbox sometime last year when the last of the exclusives rolled out. I guess all I'm saying is that I'm glad I waited for the ps3 to hit $200 at a black friday sale rather than paying $600 at launch, because compared to the ps2 I just feel like I used it a lot less. It's still a great system, and I'll keep it around until it dies as a blu ray ray player, I just feel like not too much set apart the ps3 and 360 this gen. The only games That were absolute "MUST PLAY" for me were Demon's souls and MGS4 (Because fuck being cockblocked on an ending after being invested in it since 1998)

I got my first PS3 for like 40 bucks when a bunch of us did that "sign up for these offers" and get a free PS3 back on FOH. Was the deal of a century!

We aren't being dishonest about anything. For Christ sake the guy lists a game (in a plethora of MANY) to show just how many exclusives there are. If I wanted to take the time to pit pick that entire list caught off a google search, I would. Instead, I'll do this one.

Touch Shot is a Japanese love sim where you use an electronic device called a yPhone to read the thoughts of female love interests in order to get closer to them and strike up a relationship.

Over 70% of the games listed there are like this.

Out of the games listed, and I am sure there may be some other subjective likes and dislikes, doesn't disprove that even if 20 exclusive titles out of that list were worth buying a system for, it doesn't negate the fact that that isstillless than 2 games per year on average, and buying a console on launch day is assanine when comparing it to reasoning of why you buy an console in the first place (exclusives) when half the library of exclusives won't be out for 5 years, and by that point you can pick up a console for 200 bucks, and 5-10 of the exclusive titles all together for around 100 and not miss out on anything but hype. In the meantime, a PC does it better, about as more affordable if a slight more expensive when you figure all the shit you are going to buy for that PS4 including 49 for PS Plus, with less expensive titles across the library set with native controller support anyway.

This generation? Consoles = Sham.

My list would be the same pretty much (minus a couple I've not tried yet) and plus the Japanese RPG list which is almost another 20 by itself. [Although that's counting my wife and myself - Atelier isn't my speed, but she loves it for example]

And WTF no Demon's Souls?

Why is 'The Last Guardian' on that list?

And why do people keep saying that games on PS+ are free?
Shrug, it's a technicality that it sort of falls between - I've heard people call Gamefly a "free way to get tons of games as well"... seems some people use "very price effective" and "free" as synonyms at times.

Oh wow, thanks. For some reason that didn't click with me. I'll go snag the ps3 one since I can never get enough katamari.
Well, double check - but the titles are different - I never did get around to trying Beautiful to know if they're different or just a retitled variant.

But retitled variants with a completely different title are rare - usually would be "Katamari Forever Plus" or something these days.

At this point it's pretty clear that Ut is being dishonest as hell and is stuck on one of his Hate Trains.

Great, there's only 7 games that YOU personally played there. For the rest of us there could be a hell of a lot more. For me there's over 30 PS3 exclusives and more when you consider cross-platform, but console exclusive. Like I said before, I have over 90 console-exclusive games. Maybe it's not awesome for you, but it certainly was awesome for me.

I'm sure the PS4 will be equally as awesome if not more awesome.

Equally as awful. Actually, PS3 has better exclusives.

And why do people keep saying that games on PS+ are free?
And yeah, while I am a PS Plus subscriber, and get some deals and timed demos, I am still paying the cash for those games. They aren't just free. And if I already have them because they came out too far after a Steam sale, the value is gone.

At this point it's pretty clear that Ut is being dishonest as hell and is stuck on one of his Hate Trains.
Oh for Christ sake Sean shut up. In my house are 2 Wii's, 1 Wii U, 1 3DS, 2 360's with gold memberships and a PS3 with PS Plus. I also have a high end performance PC with all the bells and whistles and a 360 controller.

This go around? I will have a PC. Because everything I originally had those for can now fit into a living room with interop WITH my PC without having to fork over ridiculous fees to play games online held back with 3 year old technology on release.

Fairly retarded statement.
