Stick to PS3 for the games that weren’t ported anywhere else, consider PC for the rest. Computers have unmatched backwards compatibility. The graphics are often better on PC and you can play at a higher resolution and frame rate. Games from this time span had unstable and low frame rates on console, they're quite aged so a PC from like the past 5 years it should suffice, older is fine if you're willing to drop some graphics settings. Online multiplayer is free on PC and games that no longer have online services up on console might on PC. There are some caveats, PC port quality was lower back then so the games might have imperfections like not having their performance properly scale up with the power of your computer. GTA IV and Saints Row 2 are prime examples, SR2 specially has many issues though they can be partially alleviated with user made modifications. Games from this era didn’t always have full or any controller support. Another thing that lessens the experience of playing on a computer is the hackers, yet old consoles have them too. Your computer getting hacked is a possibility I guess, I think consoles are vulnerable too. Wii U consoles were recently discovered to be susceptible to hacking by players you were matched against online, and had to be patched. Keep the PC up to date and I think you’ll be be fine, find trustworthy communities to play with and you won’t have to worry about hackers. Look for groups that organize pick up games or pugs, don’t know if console players use the term.

For like all of last year I was still playing on my dusty but trusty PS3 for at least like an hour a day. I found most matches on COD4 and was dominating lobbies with the RPD. After like two months I was invited to a Discord via a PSN message by a guy from one of the matches I was playing that day. It was full of people form all over the world still dedicated to playing PS3 games. It had different lobbies for A LOT of games where you could just shoot a message if you wanted to play a match and within minutes your lobby would be full. I had a blast and the community was awesome. In april this year I built a sick gaming PC and haven’t been on the PS3 since but I might just pull her out of the closet again soon after seeing this. I have a lot of stories if anybody is interested or would motivate you too to bust out that old Playstation and give her a go.

Crysis 3 for the PS3 was the very first Online FPS I ever played, dating back TEN years ago. I barely remember any of it, but I do recall that in 2013, this game and CoD: Ghosts used to dictate my life. Having to choose one or the other on a daily basis used to give me headaches and I never even got bored of one them until CoD: AW started consuming my life. I know it’s a cliché to look back fondly to where it all started nowadays but I have to say that those were easily some of the most amazing times I had in gaming, ever!

You've neglected to mention the Resident Evil games which might just be the most populated games still on PS3. You can find a full page of people playing through the campaign, often even more than a page (especially for 6) on PS3 at all times. It's pretty amazing. Mercenaries is active as well but not as much but be ready to deal with "MUH SCORE" people. Revelations 1 and 2 raid modes are still active but only a person or two every so often. I wish i could say it was still populated but Ninja Gaiden servers are still up, and you might find a person playing the ninja trials once in a while, but it's come to the point where you can play for hours with no one joining, especially for RE. RE PVP mode is dead but that mode sucked so meh. The beauty of the multiplayer in this game is that you don't have to sit in a lobby, you can go play the trials solo while the game keeps the lobby open for people to join in the background. Another game that is still active is ME3 multiplayer. The MP in that game is excellent and full of content so definitely worth playing. You neglected to mention that COD games are filled with modders cheating.

Tomb raider, gta 4 and red dead are all games that I never got the platinum because of multiplayer, but still hope to do so. Too bad gta 5 servers were shut down

call of duty 3 multiplayer really was solid. its weird how united offensive gets quite a lot of praise, but 3 gets and got quite a bit of hate.

Don’t know anything about most CoD games, my guess is CoD 3 was greatly overshadowed by 4 which turned CoD into the Goliath it is today. CoD 4 was copied endlessly including by Activision itself with the sequel spam.

@@protocetid it wasnt about being overshadowed though. cod 3 was pretty disliked among a lot of cod 1 and 2 fans when it came out. it didnt feature the normal iw engine and had larger maps with vehicles

I play COD 3 online sometimes on xbox, game still has ppl playing it. It was mostly hated because vehicles, it didn't feel like COD2 and the console exclusivity when the serie was bastly more popular on PC. The funny thing is that COD3 online got more players after CODMW4 success.

Absolutely nuts that Vegas 2 is still running on PS3 considering Ubisoft destroyed multiplayer functionality on PC. Such are the consequences of publishers who think they're big enough to demand everyone log into their bespoke game service in order to connect to servers, and then proceed to kill those services and the games they depend on later. Lord forbid we have access to P2P lobbies in a co-op shooter. I did manage to get Vegas 2 working by running a Radmin VPN server with my friends. It doesn't take too much effort.
