patsylabrador Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm thinking of getting this on PS3. I like RPG especially but I think this is 1st person and I prefer 3rd person. I think it can be played in either - is that right? I've read that it has problems on PS3 but only if you play excessively. Is that right? It sounds fun and most reviews are positive, just thought I'd see if anyone ( or their sons!) have any thoughts. Thanks Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 FUS RO DAH! Yeah, I don't really have much to contribute, all I know is that I really want it As far as I'm aware you can play in 1st and 2rd person, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Sorry Cinnamon, very sexist of me. Thanks, I would be grateful for any info before I decide to buy it, but it looks like brilliant escapism and I'm new to these particular games. Couperwife, I reckon it's a game you could do, leave for a long time and come back to. That's how I plan to play it but apparently it's very addictive. I was reading reviews and people play it for hours on end, forgetting to actually live a life, which if you've read Otherland is scary. When I read 'The Passage', the house and family were neglected, I'm hoping the game will have the same effect - they're adults and will survive!

Cinnamon Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Ok the daughter says it is brilliant. She plays it on the xbox though. And you can play it in the third person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have it on PS3 and love it - it is a brilliant game and one that you can lose hours in. The previous one, Oblivion was also excellent. There was a lot of talk about delays and lagging on the PS3 but they have various updates that have eliminated this i believe. I have not experienced any problems at all and I've probabyly played 60-70 hours(apart from one glitch where dragons flew backwards which has since been fixed). I'd recommed you get it - although it is still quite a lot of money so if you want to try out something very similar I'd also recommend Oblivion which is about £10 normally and gameplay is more or less the same, just a different story. You can change the view from 1st to 3rd person although personally I think 1st person works best for this especially when creeping through scary caves and ruins!

patsylabrador Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thank you very much rachel19, I've been pondering all day and after reading your post I've decided to order it. Should be fun and I will try to play in 1st person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
