Folklore is an exclusive PS3 game that has gone up in price a LOT during the last year. Is it worth playing? It's a great game with a ton of potential, but it's by no means perfect. In this video I talk about what I enjoyed about playing Folklore in 2021 and why I think it deserves a sequel or remake in the future.

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the video. Are there other PS3 exclusives you'd like me to talk about in the future? Let me know. Others to be covered in the channel in the future include Resistance and inFAMOUS 2. Additional notes regarding Folklore: 1) Most of the gameplay in the video is from Ellen's perspective, as the environments are pretty much the same from both perspectives, so I didn't record a lot of footage as Keats. 2) I really enjoyed my time with Folklore, which is why I was so frustrated when it started to feel so repetitive. It's not often I just tell myself to take a break from playing a game (Even when it's not a long game), but in this case I didn't want to go from enjoying it to feel "meh"" with it. Hopefully that makes sense. I think we've all played a game we love, but can get burnt out when we start noticing their faults. 3) I purposely only used gameplay from a few key parts of the game as I didn't want to show a ton of the first or second half. This way you can get to enjoy many things you didn't see in case you do play it. :) Thanks so much once again for watching!!

@weishunzhang8988 2 года назад

Thanks Juan! Very appreciate your review over this game giving pros and cons with your opinion on gameplay and stuff. Looking forward to your future updates for Resistance and inFAMOUS 2 since the price for these two games is cheap in China and not sure if i should take them or not.

@Gentleman_Orange 2 года назад

Well I have several games to do or redo, like Alice return, Singularity, GoW:ascension, AC Rogue (the 3 to finish), Uncharted (yeah I still do them), Journey (have the game since 2012 lol), same last of us (too despairing lol), Deadpool, gta5, bioshock 2.

@EmanSLived 2 года назад

One of the best games from early PS3... not just because it was the FIRST PS3 game with outstanding graphics, but also because it had the best mechanics, design (scenery, monsters and ambience) and general content. Just because they lacked, maybe, of a strong marketing plan, it wasn't famous, but definitely one of my favourites and I consider myself to be a touch reviewer. I strongly recommend to play this hidden, totally underrated JEWEL.

@brucevandermescht6957 2 года назад

So you played through the entire game only to realize you've had enough an hour before the end? Then go and watch the ending on RU-vid? WTF.

@edwin99901 Год назад

I've been missing you. I found your channel about a year ago, and after skimming and watching a few of your videos I subscribed because you were the real deal, a real gamer, and you have the relatability factor with the personal stories you tell.

@jenscee7679 2 года назад

I’ve still got a copy and have just fired up the PS3. Going to play through this month. Will never sell it.

@SoloEcho Год назад

I played it on ps3 and lived it. I wish it would get a remake for the ps5. Not specifically the same but since its a ps5, add more to it. Like change the background to more pitch black atmosphere. The combat mechanic should be improved upon. Its such a great game.

@Lemmingswasgreatidc 7 месяцев назад

Yes. Folklore needs to be rereleased on later consoles. I played it I have replayed it I still own it I want a damned sequel…it deserved more love when it was released.

@Chrissers88 2 года назад

I played it not long after it came out. I loved the comic book style and the mythology was totally my thing. I'm glad that I still have my original copy of the game. Really is a shame how the game has shot up in price. It's interesting that you talk about the game getting repetitive. I can see why you say that. You're doing the same sort of thing. Keats gets different monsters, side quests, outfits and the bosses need different strats, but yeah it's similar. I never really had a problem with that but I can see why it would be off putting for others, everyone has different tastes!

@btbamdep Год назад

Well said. Yeah it’s a very unique game. The only major flaw for me is that there isn’t any trophies to acquire :/

@bimmer8602 Год назад

@@btbamdep weren't trophies added around 2009? Maybe that's why not sure.

@jexusdomel5194 2 года назад

I'm surprised you disliked the pacing of the story. I think it's great, it fits doolins small sleepy town perfectly, and you got a few more pieces each chapter to think about the mystery overall. Maybe you just don't like stories where you arent given the answers more quickly, and I totally get that, but this one appeals to my sensibilities a lot

@greengrugach1984 Год назад

Ireland has some of the most incredible myths and legends, Ireland's folklore (pun unintended) is rich, Conan borrowed a lot from it, old Irish god was Crom Unhul, god of war and death the Morrigan, she took many forms like a crow or wolf, then the Ulster saga of the mighty hound of Ireland Cú Chulainn, English soldiers and commanders who first started conquest in Ireland stated that some Irish people could transform into a bipedal wolf, old English for man is 'were' so werewolf, they sent in battalions and they fled into Eastern Europe, then King Slaine who fought the Fomorians, thousands of years ago, Newgrange is an inverted pyramid burial/praying chamber, each solstice the sun shines straight down and they had knowledge of stars that we've only recently seen using powerful telescopes 🔭, 1000 years older than the pyramids and at least 800 years older than Stonehenge, if you ever visit Ireland go see Newgrage and Slaine Castle, there is a 'hellgate' up in the North Donegal, an island called Station Island that is sealed off by Irish military back in the day and a church built on top of it, it was where they brought pagans who didn't believe in God and everyone who went there converted, probably a hallucigen natural gas deposit.

@kevinc9251 2 года назад

Great review Juan. I too am a linear type of player and not open world. Nice that you pointed that concept out. Would love to see you do a grand theft franchise review given some of their older games will be rereleased on few platforms.

@PlayerJuan 2 года назад

Kevin!!!!! Hope you're doing great. I may do something with the newer version of San Andreas once that comes out as I've played III and Vice City in the past few years and really want to get back into that one.

Found 2 copies of Folklore in late 2018. It was already kindof rare then. I found one at GameStop for $15, complete, and one at a pawn for just a couple of dollars. Also complete. Sold one in 2020 for $50 and I'm hanging onto the other.

@Caesar2001 Год назад

I found this game when I was looking tru my old game collection, I remember my parents buying me this game and I never gave it a chance because the box art never appealed to me lol, now I googled the name and the game is expensive af. I'm glad that I didn't throw it away after leaving it sit there in my attic for a decade

@gur2451 Год назад

No clue why I have 3 copy of this game and I had to buy a new controller to play this haha

@Trilaan Год назад

I think I probably played this game at least half a dozen times, I love it. The repetitiveness never really got to me and I prefer going back and forth between the characters. Also, Keats is one of my Top 10 game characters of all time.

@GameEssays 2 года назад

I remember hearing about this game in the early PS3 days. Seems like it was a great idea with not the greatest execution.

@edgelordgaming7923 Год назад

Honestly I love this game so much. My brother got it for my mother to play but just didn't get into it. I started playing it and loved it. I was the first person in my family to beat it. The final boss took me awhile but it was so fun and felt so good when I finally beat it! I loved the variety of folks and how you could have so many combinations. I would absolutely love a sequel or even a remaster! I know it'll never happen but one can hope. I honestly want to replay this game again. I complete understand your point on replaying the worlds between the characters, but I loved it because you got to find new folks, almost like a parallel universe! I think I only ever missed one folk from one of the optional missions from the bar. It's such an underrated game and I wish more people knew about it.

@edgelordgaming7923 Год назад

Honestly the only thing I didn't like about the game was the Endless Corridor. I get the concept, but I don't think it was executed well. I spent way too much time there.

I will come back at some point! Work and life changed a lot in the last year or so which had me had to change many things. Haven't been able to play games as much as I used to, but that will slowly continue changing so I can produce more videos. :) Thanks so much for your comment.

@gazbert88 Год назад

Just subbed to your channel then noticed you've not been here for a while, hope you return some day.

@Handford 2 года назад

Just looked it up after being offered big bucks at CEX. I remember picking it up from a bargain bin back in the day and thinking similar. Good graphics and music, ok gameplay and slow story and I also gave up on it. It's probably not too bad if you are used to Japanese games as I feel lots of Japanese games have similar pacing (i.e. lots of reading between shortish periods of gameplay)

@Darian-mk1bw 2 года назад

Just got this game complete for $1.50. The center of the disc is broke but it works, imma try it someday

@mikem2k6 Год назад

I loved the game and I still sometimes find myself thinking back how it was playing it. I hope there will be sequel, but in reality I don’t think it will happen. I don’t think the pace of the game is slow. The story is immersive and there are sometimes plots involved.

@Whalewraith 2 года назад

Folklore is one of the last games I purchased for the ps3 and I've never played it as I got a ps4 shortly there after and my machine got boxed up. I'm here to see if its worth digging out or whether i should just bung it on ebay.

@dreamareakoso3791 2 года назад

honestly, i don’t think it’d feel the same on PC, don’t get me wrong, i’m not a console elitist, i love PC, but Folklore just wouldn’t work on PC without a controller with gyro, which not everyone has a controller like that for PC, and keyboard and mouse just wouldn’t cut it for this game, especially since this game uses motion as a core mechanic

Hey all. Im looking for active ps3 users that might know if there is any use for ps now or ps plus on ps3? I have both services active from a current gen console and am trying to go back and play those ps now games natively on ps3 hardware, is at all that possible?

@kamillasam458 2 года назад

I believe ps plus and ps now are not available for ps3, simply because when you play ps now games you don’t actually play on your hardware, you play on Sony’s servers, meaning that you could also play on your computer virtually as long as you have a controller. Hope this helps :)

@azurepulse1870 2 года назад

Old movies get re-released on new media. Games like these with no ports/remasters, they get more expensive because they don't make them anymore and can gain cult classic popularity later on- it drives the demand up while the supply doesn't increase. This was a great game but didn't receive the recognition it deserved at the time. I'm just glad it's getting some attention now.

@rashadabdullah9769 2 года назад

$70 if ur lucky. I wont buy it tho. I dont like the battle system.

@LeftyPlaat 2 года назад

accurate review; the first 60-70% is enjoyable; but I had to push myself to the end and really; the ending wasn't worth it; I couldn't tell you what it was all about; since the storytelling is more thought text and such, not the gameplay. If its just Ellen's side for a 6 hr game its good.
