Purchase Advice - Should I buy it?

Explain yourself, because God of War 3 is "a must have" PS3 game

Oh did you not know. It is not allowed to like God of War in VGBA.

Well knowing Ryan, and well, personal experience:

God of War III is repetitive, I didn't say he's not allowed to so get your head out of your ass. It's just repetitive and I'm sure a lot of folks won't like it.

I'll put it this way. I played Chain of Olympus on PSP and it was repetitive but it was Okay at best. Using that as a reference point, would I enjoy it?

Considering the God of War games are nearly identical in terms of gameplay, probably not.

See my post here for why I personally have began to dislike the God Of War franchise.

I think we should not have gotten sequels at all. For a game that tried to be smart and show you the consequences of your actions, GoW III was pretty dumb because Kratos' just didn't make sense, was I suppose to be rooting for him? Top that with repetitive gameplay and NOTHING new to the formula, it's a pretty bad game.

[Pleiades]

I despise Kratos as a character, so if he was supposed to be sympathetic and cheered for in the second and third games, then Santa Monica screwed that one up pretty badly.

It would be nice if I was able to even mention God of War without someone telling me that it sucks. It is okay to criticize the series like any other, but raining on the fans' parade on every possible turn is a bit much.

I know what I said was spontaneous and out of line. But yeah, you can enjoy the games, I have no problem with that. I just wanted to criticize the idea of recommending it.

Everyone with a PS3 needs to go buy Journey, like now.

It is indeed a pretty memorable experience, the first time you play. Short, but I don't regret the purchase at all.

Reminds me of a funny story, I told one of my PS3 mates about Journey a while back, his reply was 'Is is like guitar hero?'
:/

I does look hauntingly beautiful, I might wait for a price drop though.

Guys, I have a question.

I'm planning to buy a legit PSP for me before the year ends. But I don't have a job. Even so, I have R$ 600 reais in my allowance, and a PSP costs R$ 500 reais approximately. But I want to keep playing Xbox 360 games, and most 360 games costs around R$ 50 and R$ 100 reais.

What should I buy? The PSP already or spend the rest of the money on 360 games? Or should I wait to get a job and with the new job's payment get the PSP?

Not get a PSP.

Yeah the PSP isn't the best machine in the world.

PSP's are cheap here. £30 for a base model I think. Depends if there's enough you want on it

[Higashi89]

I want a PSP because I think there's a plenty of good (and japanese) games for me to play. Also, I never had a portable before (the gameboy does not count)

[Pleiades]

The PSP is a fantastic system, but wouldn't it be a better investment to save for a Vita? Then again, I'm not 100% sure what the backwards compatibility of that system is.

[mchapra]

Vita launched here.

Get?

With VITA I will spend way more money than with PSP games, which is incredibly cheap. For example, an PSVita here costs around R$ 900 to R$ 1300 reais, and PSVita games costs around R$ 150 to R$ 200 reais (yes, games are expensive around here).

A PSP game only costs R$ 30 reais at minimum, and as I said, the game library suits well for me. I would like to buy VITA instead, but the absence of money to sustain it is low.

Basically...
buying a PSP let me have lots of games. Vita, just one or two...
