I have just, at the grand old age of 28, purchased my first games console. The PS3 came with about 30 games but most of these are first person shooter games which I?m finding very difficult to master or football games which I find a bit boring. I like the idea of shooting type games but I?m guessing games with a third person view would be easier to play. Can anyone recommend any games which would suit a newbie?


Thanks

Thanks everyone for all of the suggestions. GTA IV and V came with the PS3 so I?ll start with those. I?ve looked into Max Payne and I can see that it is a third person shooter game so that also seems ideal and a bit easier for me. The Last of Us also looks interesting, is it a survival game? Can?t quite work it out from the online info.


SE22 ? thanks for the recommendations but I don?t think I understand everything you have written! Google is my friend ?


I?ve always been a bit anti- Tomb Raider despite having never played it. I guess I always assumed it portrayed women badly but I?ll check it out and see for myself :)


Thanks again all!

Last Of Us is a first person survival game. The story is a bit like 28 days later in some ways. You are trying to transport a girl across the city to a group of people called the Fireflies.


Basically read this article and it pretty much tells you what it's all about.

The best thing about this game is the story and the emotional content. It's really well written. Naughty Dog have always been good at these types of games, but The Last Of Us is their masterpiece. (In my opinion)


Enjoy!

Thanks Phobic3000! I just read the write up on Esquire and i'm completely sold on it! Sounds like a great game. I did a bit more research and some other reviews say its a third person game so i'm guessing you can probably change this in the settings. Only slight worry is that I watched 28 Days Later behind a pillow but I'll just have to man up.

Skyrim can be first or third person, and it's a MASSIVE world to explore.


Anything by rockstar is good, including GTA (modern city criminal stuff), Max Payne (dark broody bloke who shoots lots of people), Red Dead Redemption (cowboys).


All with very similar gameplay, so if you like one you'll probably like them all.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Skyrim sounds a bit like the land beyond the wall in GOT. I have tried GTA and enjoyed that so I reckon I'll also like Max Payne.


Went to my local game shops at lunchtime today to try and find secondhand copies of some of the games you have all mentioned but alas it's closed down! I had hoped to chat to the sales assistants in the store but looks like I'll have to settle for Amazon.

Find a cash coverters type shop (there is one on Penge High Street, probably one in Peckham or Camberwell somewhere). They do games dirt cheap. And yeah, any Game shop does second hand.


And seriously, if you like GTA, get Red Dead Redemption, it's the nuts, and even has downloadable content of Undead zombies. Cowboys and zombies!!!!!








Damn it, I want to play them now, but I do not get any gaming time at home anymore.

I think there's a CEX or similar in Brixton as well so I'll pop in as pass through quite often. Thanks for the ebay suggestion and link :) Otta I can't watch the gameplay videos you've posted (still at work) but I'll bid on the basis of the stills alone! I literally just want to get home and game. I can already see the PS3 replacing my obsession with box sets.

The game I spent most time playing (by far) was Oblivion. I have no idea how many hours, but it was A LOT.


Oblivion was the predecessor of Skyrim.


But Red Dead Redemption definitely in the top 5.


Fable games are fun too.


The original Fable was on earlier consoles, then 2 and 3 on PS3 / XBox 360. But then a year or two ago they released the original (updated) game on these consoles. It's great, as is 2. Not really played 3, it's one of a pile of at least 10 games that I barely scratched the surface of before parenthood stole my game time.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
