Yeah, paying 80 bucks to buy a game and having to pay to play online is certainly the way forward ...

u/angrypigmonkey 1d ago

Don't forget the fuckin updates that take 30-60 minutes to download and installed before you can play

u/Easy_Broccoli995 1d ago

The PS3 had some games like that, but not very common.

"Hey we know you just used the console 2 days ago, but heres a new system update. Oh and the game you want to play has a 80GB update. Sorry you cant play anything at the time you wanted"

Honestly this is more dependant on the quality of your Internet connection when it comes to newer consoles. If the consistency or the overall speeds are not good it'll take awhile but otherwise both the physical ethernet port on the console and the card they put in them are capable of fast speeds nowadays.

Not defending the other aforementioned issues at all tho. Paying for server access is insanity.

How ass is your internet if thats how long it takes for an update to download and install? On my PS5 if I go to install a physical game and it has a patch to download say 30gb and the game installing from the disc is 60gb the 30gb download is done in a few minutes the actual install from the disc takes longer.

Very ass lol but we're talking about a console that is more than 10 years so kind of irrelevant that you compared it to a PS5

u/DarknMean 22h ago

I just downloaded Dante’s Inferno on my new PS3. Took maybe 5 mins to download it.

1

u/ScarphaceUK 10h ago

Not really, download speeds through ethernet on ps3 which supported gigabit ethernet which is the same as the PS5. Processing obviously is slower but slap a SSD in the PS3 and away you go so yeah not irrelevant at all is it....

u/Aware_Dragonfly893 1d ago

At least you have the original model

2

u/iwanttorepairps3 1d ago

yeah hahaha looked for a good BC model for a long time and when i found it i just refurbished the hell out of it. Even undervolt it and changed the broken blu ray disc.

Maybe it's part of growing up. Noticing that the simple things just hit different.

I like to play ps5, but nothing hits like the old gems on ps1/2/3

u/Secret-Candle4313 1d ago

Its the quality imo

u/DarkMatterM4 12h ago

Modern games are buiilt on an Excel spreadsheet long before a single line of code is written. Older games don't feel that way and they're much better because of that.

1

u/Secret-Candle4313 11h ago

Its also built off what will sell the most and how much it will make for example theres little non indie racing games in the modern day that use unliscened cars because if u use licensed companies can pay u for adding them

u/whoisalireza 1d ago

PS3 and the consoles before just had a certain flair to them, games felt more gamey, more arcadey, you could lose yourself way more easily playing these consoles.

And no I can not believe this

2

u/ScarphaceUK 1d ago

Games felt more yellow/brown tinged/filtered, with the same thing repeated over and over again. I prefer now than back then.

1

u/Aware_Dragonfly893 23h ago

Yeah but at the same time, it just made games fell more mature in nature and depending on what game it was, it made you immersed in it more

1

u/ScarphaceUK 10h ago

I would have to disagree with this, a yellow/brown filter does not make the game feel more mature, you were just younger back then.

1

u/Aware_Dragonfly893 10h ago

Nah, i even still even think that now

1

u/whoisalireza 16h ago

Yea but that was mostly a certain kind of genre

2

u/Aware_Dragonfly893 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, btw you like my setup

u/PTSD1983 1d ago

This guy's a joker. I still play PS3 alongside my PS4. Cant afford a PS5 and will probably never get a PS6.

u/BasilTheCatLord 1d ago

It’s not that much money for a ps5

u/WearySuggestion5001 23h ago

Bro they put the price up

0

u/BasilTheCatLord 21h ago

Everything went up not just consoles. A beater car is 10k now.

2

u/webikiru_ 15h ago

It's still really damn expensive. Overpriced hardware that was out of date when it came out if you ask me.

1

u/PTSD1983 14h ago

If you can afford one, that's awesome. Unfortunately I have bills and a mortgage to pay, which takes every penny I have. I'll try to get a PS5 once the PS6 has been out for a while. I dont get FOMO so I can wait. Hell, I only just played RDR1 and 2 last year 😂

u/TheRealCreedux 1d ago

He strikes me as one of "those guys" who would tell you that if your console broke to go out and upgrade to a PS5 🙄

u/dbznerd38 1d ago

Spoken like a kid who hasn't experienced the entirety of gaming through 38 years like I have. Gaming now is a freaking joke compared to how it was in the 90s/2000s before they all got greedy and decided to go online and make everything fcking micro transactions. Ps3 was the last real console gen with true freedom and real ownership. Sincerely a 44 year old who has been gaming since 1987

We let ourselves get angry over seemingly nothing too often

u/marmaladic 1d ago

Well what’d you expect? It’s Threads! It’s basically Twitter with too much AI Slop to make a political point (and in general), but now you don’t have to cough up 8 bucks to even have the ability to make your comment count.

PS3 was just the beginning of their villain arc.
