Severe framerate drops made 7th gen games feel larger than life.

or use RPCS3 instead, with real ps3 hardware there's a chance you'll get ylod if you play too much
my ylod ps3 is literally melting inside when they open it up on service center from too many GTA V back on launch day
and also agreed with the person above the framerate is just terrible, even gta 4 and 5 only runs at 20-30 fps

I think I am going to trade in all my PS3 stuff and pretend that console never existed.
PS3 would have been Sony's worst console if they had actually made it.
PS1
PS2
PS4
PS5
Just like how iPhone skipped the number 9 and went right to X.
Or how Xbox skipped 2 and went right to 360. (Then back to one).
There must be some Mom and Pop game stores willing to take my imaginary Future Tools and Destruction, All 4 One, Crack in Time disks.
If those games really existed I wonder how much I could get for them.

Kids these days won't know the feeling of playing GTA V with 3 minutes of loading time and a steady 22 fps with drops to the low teens.
Peak gaming performance.

Grand Turismo 5 was the worst. So much loading, it was basically unplayable. This is coming from a guy who used to play KOF on his Neo Geo CD with buddies during day long marathon sessions.

Loading times are the worst thing about that gen. I'd replay PS3 games far more often if not for that.

It has some gems that are worth playing. I never put technical aspects first.

GTA4 crashes down to sub 15 sometimes lol.
I agree to the premise that the PS3 was one of the best generations we had, my collection of PS3 games is still growing and the console is still connected to the TV. But I wouldn't jailbrake it, just because I like to play online for free and I like trophies.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I have a modded ps3 but it's collecting dust somewhere. I should probably bring it out to at least keep it up to date with the latest homebrew versions.

The only PS3 exclusive still worth playing is MGS4, and thats coming in the next Master Collection anyway.
