Why is this so comfy to play in current year?

>>715925114 (OP)
And yet you're here on /v/.

>>715925114 (OP)
The graphics are practically current gen and it has a ton of games you cant play elsewhere. Online still somehow working also helps

>>715925114 (OP)
free online

i was gonna hook up my slim to a capture card but apparently it has some hdmi copy protection so you just get a black screen
is this true? what the fuck

Depends on the game, fag.

>Why is this so comfy to play in current year?
Modern TV/Monitors are better and PS3 games upscale well because of them, making the games look good. Im playing MGS2 right now on my PS3.

>>715925589
Doesn't matter what the game is, those loading times aren't comfy you mouthbreathing ape.

>>715925356
Yes, you have to use an HDMI splitter to bypass that.

>>715925402
>I need the game to load instantly or else I will look on my phone or TikTok

muh copyright

The d-pad is abysmal dogshit but otherwise yeah it's pretty cool

>>715925402
Just install a SSD and give that shit some custom firmware and you'll be practically playing a current gen system
As in you'll notice 7th gen graphics are no different from ai gen frame shit in current games

>>715925114 (OP)
Last console that didn't require you to pay a monthly subscription to use our own fucking internet.
Paid online is why I never got a PS4.

I still use PS3MS, Also that card slot bay is a great feature.

>>715925798
I'm not your ape, buddy.

>>715925402
A 1TB 2.5 SSD is like 50 bucks.

>>715925872
if this isn't a joke I've officially lost all faith in humanity

>>715925114 (OP)
All 7th and older consoles are comfy in current year.

>>715925114 (OP)
You're a zoomer.

What the hell did I do wrong?

>>715926594
thats what you get for not washing your hands before touching your controller

>>715926594
there's something really wrong with sony's thumbstick material. All their controllers get nasty in storage

>>715925321
Came here to say this

>>715926784
it's literally made from dog noses bro

>>715925390
Hes right -- unless youre a retard who enjoys playing butchered remasters

>>715925798
You never played budokai tenkaichi 3 for ps2 / wii did you? Never played nier (on ps3) did you?

>>715926594
The oil? Wipe it off with rubbing alcohol. The buttons randomly pressing? There's a piece of foam inside. You can open it and wrap tape around it. That'll wear down as well with time, but it should work past your passing interest, fucker.

>>715925964
>The d-pad is abysmal dogshit but otherwise yeah it's pretty cool
Better than the 360s disc of seath by a mile but a good d-pad is actually rare and the only reason to give a fuck really is if youre playing fighters, and if youre playing fighters you should buy a stick

>>715926594
>>feel like playing my PS3
>>pull out my PS3 controllers after months of being in storage
>>they all have oily sticky thumbsticks
Wipe em off it happens to certain types of plastics sucks but is what it is
>>they spazz out and are auto pressing themselves
Nvm Donate em to a retro game store, youve got junk
>>only one that works is a first gen sixaxis version with no rumble
Thats rough buddy
>What the hell did I do wrong?
7th gen vidya shit is like blade runner, the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Ylod, rrod, where do i begin with nintedo ds lites? Its not your fault man

>>715926784
You can clean it off and still play them at least, xbox thumb sticks just crumble away for some reason at least on 360

I just know the store is gonna be toast soon, fuck Sony

>>715927668
Fuck em for sure but also... Digital ownership isnt ownership, in the sense that legally speaking its considered only a license to play the games for an indefinite period, thats all.

On the flipside since buying isnt owning this also means piracy isnt stealing!

>hack it
>download games directly on the system
>play games with no bullshit
simple as

>>715927257
>>715927527
opening up PS3 controllers is such a pain in the ass. Guess i'll just bite the bullet then.

>>715927668
Make sure to buy and backup any digital games you want

do I need to update the official firmware before installing the latest evilnat? I'm on 4.88 no jailbreak

Yeah, but making my third part controllers work is a pain in the ass. I don't have my originals joysticks anymore.

>>715925402
It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't see my reflection during the loading screens..

>>715932820
Should've brought an LCD

Was the last bastion of hope that the future might be cool and fun to live in before the universe got soulraped by CERN in 2012 and sent to a hell alternate reality where literally evil corpos destroy society from the inside out

>>715932897
That was the beginning of the end. The PS3 era gave us paid online and a plethora of DLCs (which gave rise to those games released with DLCs also announced), franchises became behemoths and you were either of the "big players" or a puny indie. There was plenty of bad shit happening already.

No but I did play Budokai and Budokai 2 and I remember the little loading mini game where you would spin the analogy sticks, faggot. The loading times still weren't comfy, you stupid fucking ape.

>>715926184
Man that takes me back. I loved using it to watch anime.

>>715925114 (OP)
I really wish they gave the slim proper ps1/ps2 support so I could consolidate all systems with a modern HDMI interface

>>715926594
first gen sixaxis use hall effect, believe it or not

>>715925114 (OP)
Your nostalgia under the impression you were sold back then.

love the ps3, just a shame that the cirtcuit paper / sponge lead to so many ghost input issues. any other ps3 trophy hunters out there?

>>715933510
Online was (and is still) free on PS3, you’re thinking of 360. It was the beginning of the end though you’re right there.

this was 8 months ago and i havent touched it since
gran turismo 5/6 was the biggest letdown

In your case, cope.

>>715925390
where's my xillia remasters

It's the only time in the history of videogames when western console games weren't absolute trash. So there are many games you don't really get anymore and didn't get before.

>>715925114 (OP)
I remember buying one back in 2017 because I wanted to play RDR. It had the worst controller ever and I've been playing since the 90s. Online was filled with hackers and modders. I've endured a bunch of games with it until I finally gave up and sold everything. Worst experience I've ever had with a console and I own a N64.

>>715927668
>He buyeted his games in digital format
Shame on you, i always boughted on disk. Dont trust WEF, never ever.

>>715926594
Just use your PS4 controller or get some analog caps. I always put condom caps on my analog sticks for this reason.

Because the interface is so good and so are the graphics. Long live the Playstation 3! Ahhh!
