Game Recommendations (General Gaming Edition)

**Kinvara** · 12-30-2011, 12:48 AM

I think we definitely need a stickied thread for game recommendations other than 3DS games now.

Same rules apply:

Jim Sterling apparently gave it a perfect 10, so it must be good.

Are you serious?! Dear god!

Bappen · 12-30-2011, 01:12 AM

It's far from challenging, unless you are interested in beating the high scores and gather all the energy spheres or whatever they are called. I played it with my cousin and we got some great laughs. It's cosy.

Rayman Origins might be a better choice though...

By that matter it must be the greatest game ever made. Kirby ftw!

Should I get Metroid Other M? I've been playing some games in the series lately and saw it was only like $10 dollars at Gamestop now,
so would any of you guys recommend it? Thanks

I've heard great things about Other M from Yuoke. It's his favorite Metroid game.

Hey guys! So Iv been wanting to pick up a new Pokemon game since I haven't bought a new one since FireRed. What are you opinions on these games and which one should I get? Silver was probably one of my favorite games, but Black is an entirely new adventure and I'd like to bring back that old feeling from Red. Iv actually played a little of Black, but it ran so slowly on my computer, I only got to the first town. Anyways, what do you guys think?

sonic the frog · 12-30-2011, 06:03 AM

Heartgold/Soulsilver if you want more content/gameplay
White/Black if you want slightly better wifi and Trash and Ice Cream pokes

12-30-2011, 06:03 AM

HeartGold/SoulSilver by all means.

Mark as unsafe · 12-30-2011, 06:09 AM

Would you guys recommend the Professor Layton series?
I havent played any of the games in the series and i was wondering if they were lengthy, challenging and overall fun?

HG/SS will be fun to play I'm sure, but I think I might know the game a little too well since I beat Silver 5+ times back in the day.

I have played all of them. I highly recommend the series.

You should start with Professor Layton and the Curious Village (then play Diabolical Box , Unwound Future, and finally the Last Specter.)

Would you describe the dificulty of the puzzles in the game as Easy, Hard or Moderate?

Black and White all the way. I absolutely hated Heartgold, it was disgusting to play with.. the Pokemon were such low leveled pieces of trash, and my most disliked region in terms of gym leaders/pokemon. Really didn't enjoy it. Though you could totally enjoy it. Played most pokemon games, including the orginal Gold, and loved every single one of them.

Got around 40hrs on Heartgold, nearly at 400hrs on White.

It varies- certain puzzles were difficult for me but overall the puzzles will make you think but they aren't overly difficult.

Anyways, no matter what you do don't listen to the haters. Other M is a fantastic game, though it is extremely short.

I need a fun indie game (or any game) I can pick up on Steam for less than $10.

Any suggestions?

Well that's exactly it! I played Crystal over 20 times as a kid and HeartGold/SoulSilver completely blew me away. You will be very impressed with the nostalgia. Don't play Black or White until you've played one of them, they're the obvious choice and are way better.

Super Meat Boy and SpaceChem are both excellent indie games that are daily deals today for $3.74 and $2.74, respectively.

I would also suggest Cave Story+ for $6.69, Bastion for $10.04, Orcs Must Die for $7.49, or Terraria for $4.99.

Well thanks! I think I might just get both.

The series is fantastic and addicting, with great storylines. They are challenging and fun, but I wouldn't say lengthy. Each game took me 10-12 hours.

I love the BIT. TRIP series, Cave Story, LIMBO, and Super Meat Boy. Steam is probably the ultimate indie platform.

Brett · 01-04-2012, 03:45 PM

Im kinda wanting a good old adventure game. I miss the days of PS2 where i could get to boss's that were hard. And i really enjoyed the game. I always enjoy a bit of fantasy chucked in also.

Also does anyone know a fun game's where you level up companions or something like pokemon?

peire · 01-06-2012, 11:11 AM

ok, i have my type of games that i realy love playing and my fave are...

ipad/ipod touch: starfront/command and conquer
ps1/psn: command and conquer red alert
nintendo DS: age of empire/pokemon
ps3: GTA/scarface/godfarther/saints row

im looking for games like this to play on my ds/3ds. ipad/ipod touch. psp

thanks

I've played them all and i thin they're brill. As said before they aren't long but they are definately challenging, it'd be very hard to finish the story in one sitting!

If you want a massive adventure with plenty of side quests and weekly DLC, Dragon Quest IX is fantastic. I'd choose it over Skyrim any day.

Just a heads up for Dutch gamers: Mediamarkt has Enslaved on PS3 for Euro 9.95 right now. Good game, engaging story, great artwork and graphics.

inFamous 1 and 2 are pretty great. Little Big Planet 2 is good (I never played the original). I played a demo of Ratchet and Clank all 4 one and it was pretty interesting. Like someone else said the uncharted series. I haven't played those games, but I am going to play them eventually. Lollipop chainsaw looks cool, it's not exclusive to the PS3 though so I don't know if you would get it fo the PS3. Usually multi-platform games are better on the 360, I don't think it's been rated yet and I can't even guess what it would be rated either.

Proto · 01-12-2012, 12:50 AM

the cheapest i can find a PS3 is for $200 with a 250 GB hard drive, are there enough exclusives to be worth it? also, why in hell is the hard drive so big? does it install the entire game to the system? (by the way, i already have a 360)

EDIT: sorry, i forgot to thank Raney150 and mister epic for the reccomendations, so, uh...... thanks

01-12-2012, 03:06 AM

nope just a portion(sometimes) you can actually make do with just am 80gb hard drive though of you download a lot of psn stuff like I do you're gonna need more than 120 gb

Defintiely worth it. Hard drives on anything are big now, well except some 360 hard drives. I can't imagine why they would even offer a 4GB version. That doesn't allow you to download much.

SacredHymn · 01-12-2012, 05:57 PM

I got an eShop Card and I have a few funds left and I just wanted to ask which is better to download. Dragon's Lair or Dragon's Lair 2 Time Warp? Also is that new Samurai Sword Destiny worth the money?

Don't know much about Dragon's Lair except it has Don Bluth's animation in it.

As for Samurai Sword Destiny, IGN gave it a 6/10 if I remember correctly. They said it was OK.

The Slim doesn't play PS2 game discs, while it still can play those for the PS1. Weird, huh? Well at least you can find PS1 and PS2 games on the PlayStation Store.

Plus, the Slim has only two USB ports. One of them has to be taken if you play with the PlayStation Move. They are used to charge your controller's battery, but you can buy a charging station for about 20 bucks, so you can charge two controllers without using an USB port. What's annoying is that the PS3 has to be turned on so the USB ports work. That's another reason to get the charging station.

Also, if you plan on buying the official Wireless Stereo Headset, it also takes another USB port.

The original model can only be found used nowadays. If you want a new PS3, you'll have the Slim, no matter what.

Proto · 01-13-2012, 02:12 AM

im not planning on buying the move, and does the Fat one play ps2 and ps1 games? i dont think that im ever gonna play online again, so i dont think ill need to worry about headsets, i just want games and controllers, which should i get assuming that there the same price and used?

Not all fat PS3s can play PS2 games. Only the first ones, which are the 20 GB, 60 GB and some 80 GB's.

And you can just get the PS3 with games and controllers. That's all what you need.

Not this kind of recommendation. This thread is for asking other members about things such as What games should I get if (condition), Which game is the best between (some games) and I want to get this. Is it worth it?

Proto · 01-13-2012, 04:42 AM

One last thing, i need to trade in some games to get that PS3, the place im buying from give about 10% more than gamestop because its not as big a thing, so they need to keep up, and obviously at 10:40 there not open, so ill ask you guys, how much would i get for;
a PS2 (one controller all cords and manual)
pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky (it was a gift so shut up)
legend of zelda spirit tracks
scribblenauts
and pokemon platinum

When I was 14, I played Brain Age 1, and I always had a score of 20, which is the best score you can have, and higher is worse.

I think this is the kind of game you pick if you think your brain is slower and less functional than average. This is most likely the case if you're older. I wouldn't get this game, even at my current age of 19.

Brain Age 2 is the same game as Brain Age 1, but with different brain training exercices.

Shinobido 2 for PS Vita or Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D? Arguments for Shinobido 2: I don't want my Vita to sit there alone waiting for Gravity Rush after i'm done with Uncharted. Also, it looks pretty damn cool. On the other hand, MGS 3D is apparently not the piece of crap we thought it was. Also, it will help me get more use out of my future CPP and i've been itching to play it for a while. I can't decide. Help me, 3DSF. You're my only hope.

It's a 3DS forum, the obvious answer is Metal Gear Solid.

Scizor · 01-30-2012, 04:43 AM

Which do you like more, guns or swords?

SRT · 01-30-2012, 04:47 AM

Neither.

Shinobido 2 is being panned by previews and MGS3D is a downgraded version of a game that you can get a superior version of, alongside 2 other games, for a similar price on consoles.

Reviews are for suckers and I prefer handhelds to consoles.

Metal Gear Solid Collection is gonna come out for Vita with TRANSFARRING

and if you want to buy a game that's been universally deemed unpolished and among the least fun Vita titles, your choice

Richtory · 01-30-2012, 09:17 PM

I'm looking for any game playable on the 3DS that is multiplayer or has multiplayer features, such as Pushmo. I'm looking for a really good and fun game, nothing less. I'd also prefer if it was a 3DS game.

MarioKart7?

We actually both have that one and I've put nearly 200 hours into it.

Well, there's Resident Evil: The Mercenaries and Revelations. Those both have multiplayer functions that're fairly good. I'm told Street Fighter IV 3D has good multiplayer if you're into fighters. Other than that, not much I can recommend.

thanks

Hoooooo buddy. You posted in the right place.

The N64 happens to be one of my favorite, if not my most favorite system ever. Lemme give you a list.

Banjo Kazooie (Platformer)
Banjo Tooie (Platformer)
Donkey Kong 64 (Platformer)
Goldeneye 007 (FPS)
The World is Not Enough 007 (FPS)
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (Games 1 through 3 if you're into FPS)
Toy Story 2 (Trust me on this one. VERY fun platformer.)
Paper Mario (RPG)
Mario Tennis (Tennis derp)
You can't go wrong with just about any Star Wars game on the N64.
Diddy Kong Racing (Racing game...better than Mario Kart 64 in my opinion.)
Perfect Dark (FPS)

And that should be enough to last you for a long time. ^_^

Now, for my own problems...I have a PS3, and I'm slowly starting to get to the point where I'm gonna have to take a leap of face for some games.

My list of currently owned games:

Rayman Origins
ICO/Shadow of the Colossus
Portal 2
Uncharted 1/2
Batman: Arkham City
Little Big Planet 1/2
Sly Cooper Collection
3D Dot Game Heroes
inFAMOUS 1/2

Now, I am planning on getting Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 3, Katamari Forever, and Sly 4 when it comes.

Now, here's the thing. The MGS HD Collection I'm still unsure if I wanna get, as I've played through MGS 2/3 several times. Peace Walker is an incentive, but still isn't worth $40 to me...maybe when it's $20...and I have not much else to buy. MGS4 is a maybe as well, depends on what my parents say.

My requirements for game recommendations:

That they not be rated M. Nothing against M games, but I'll have a harder time convincing my parents to let me play them, and generally just a harder time playing them where the PS3 is. (Living room where everybody can hear it)

And that they don't swear a ton. Once again, I'm ok with swearing (although I do frown upon it and wouldn't swear myself) just don't like hearing it constantly.

No LEGO games. I have most if not all of them for the Wii. xP

Downloadable titles are fair game.

So...sorry for the long post, and help would be appreciated. ^_^

Richtory · 02-01-2012, 06:41 PM

Ergo, that not being on the list.

Looking into more Open-World RPGs, since I have the money and time to kill.
I've been told to get the Fallout Series, Gothic Series and Two Worlds 2, though I know little about them. I'm also not sure if there are any better options available, so I'd like some feedback on that.

And I already own Borderlands and Elder Scrolls.

SRT · 02-05-2012, 01:21 AM

Man up. Get Dark Souls.

Most satisfying RPG I've played since Deus Ex.

Although I think you and I may have already talked about that.

Bon · 02-05-2012, 07:39 AM

Does Dark Souls have a lot of exploration?
Because that's what I'm looking for.

Also, I don't buy new, full priced games like Dark Souls. I buy games I can find used or on sale for 20 dollars less.

fallout 3 is your best bet, new vegas was good but 3 had more character to it.

Richtory · 02-09-2012, 09:28 PM

Allow me to explain the purpose of this thread. Basically, I am completely obsessed with video games and summer, so naturally I am into video games with tropical areas. These past few summers I have been trying to find good video games suited for the summer and was lucky enough to get my hands on Super Mario Sunshine one summer and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker the next. What I want you to do is suggest any video game (besides the two I've mentioned) that are perfect for the summer.

Note: These games can only be for the Wii, GameCube, 3DS, or any downloadable games on those systems. If there are any really good tropical games that aren't for any of these systems that you have in mind, feel free to suggest them.

P.S. Yes, I am aware that summer is a ways away... I'm just super excited!

02-10-2012, 12:45 AM

Ys: the Ark of napishtim(Ps2/PC ) all takes place in a tropical island (the world's literal equivalent of Cuba/Caribbean Islands Idk you the island is inside the Bermuda Triangle)

No More Heroes 1 & 2(Ps3/Wii) take place in a San Francisco/San Diego? (Santa Destroy) and mostly has a sunny summer feel to it

Rune Factory Tides/Frontier (wii) are very sunny games specially Tides as it takes place on an island

There's quite a bit of exploration in Dark Souls (even though combat is the main focus). You'll find hidden paths, new areas, items/armor/weapons, helpful NPCs, mini bosses, etc. if you just explore. But the world isn't open in the same way that Zelda is. It already dropped down to $40 on Amazon. It won't take much longer to get to the $20 tier (if its new, it's already sub-$20 used).

Proto · 02-17-2012, 04:27 AM

Depends on what interests you most. If you're truly interested in the games themselves, the HD collection is the obvious choice. 3 games, and you can choose the system you want to play them on between PS3, 360 and Vita.

However, I know for some people the system is very important, like it is for me, and if you're more interested in playing a Metal Gear Solid game on your 3DS than playing three of them on something else, then trust your guts. For example, I wouldn't have bought Nascar Unleashed on my PS3, but I wanted a game like that on my 3DS so I bought the 3DS version even though it was at the same price and was inferior graphically.

It all depends on what you feel you'll enjoy most.

Jasper · 02-18-2012, 10:08 AM

I'll list the pros and cons;

MGS HD:
- More games
- On Vita, 360 and PS3
- Better graphics

MGS 3D:
- 3D
- On the 3DS
- Obligatory CPP purchase if you aren't used to PW controls

I also agree with Yanikun.

Apparently the graphics in the finished game are better on the 3DS than the PS2 version, it's just not HD. Also, the framerate on the 3DS is 30fps and on the HD collection it's 60fps.

Jasper · 02-18-2012, 11:09 AM

Is it still 30 fps in the final game?

Yeah, still, and in the end it sounds like the graphics aren't better than in the demo in the final game, but that should still be above PS2 (can't say, haven't played the game on PS2).

Rascal0302 · 02-18-2012, 01:37 PM

It depends...if you want 2 more games(or 4, if we want to get technical), go for the Collection.

However, and I say this as an owner of the HD Collection, MGS3D is FAR better then it's counterpart in the HD Collection. The controls/movements are of those like MGS4, which is much superior than the original MGS3 controls. The 3D is quite brilliant and really brings the varried environments to life. The graphics aren't any better then the PS2 version, mind you, but like Revelations before it, MGS3D will make a case for the 3D(which makes the actual game look better, as we all know by now)

Though I loved Peace Walker, as a gamer I have to say that MGS3 is probably the best game in the HD Collection, so the question shouldn't simply be, "MGS3D or HD Collection", but "Do I want to play the definitive version of an amazing game, or stick with the original version and get extra games on top?"

Inoperable Brain Tumor · 02-18-2012, 03:30 PM

Since I would rather have the higher resolution on the beautiful screen (vita), I would choose the collection. If you buy 3D, and want to use dual sticks, you have to pay $20 more... so

MGS3D- pros- in 3d, new camo camera mode- second screen for items and such- less screen clutter
cons- lower resolution- extra money for dual stick support- only one game

MGSHD- pros- 3 games- much higher resolution- native dual stick support
- cons- not 3D- no second screen for items etc...

In closing, Id rather have 3 games, in beautiful 2D, rather than 1 game, in ugly 3D, and have to pay extra for dual stick control.

This is my opinion.

I didn't know it until yesterday either, but PW stands for Peace Walker, the PSP MGS game. It uses the face buttons to control, just like the demo without the CPP.

**Kinvara** · 02-18-2012, 04:31 PM

After much consideration, I've decided to get MGS3 for the 3DS once the price drops a bit.

I don't have access to my PS3 for a majority of the year due to college and it seems a good bit of effort was put into porting/remaking this for the 3DS.

MOFO · 02-18-2012, 04:41 PM

HD Collection hands down, you get extra games in the series and get to play it the way it was made to be played, dual sticks.( yes I know about the Circle Pad Pro, but unless more games start using this feature not sure if it's worth it)
Saying that I will probably get both!

02-18-2012, 05:41 PM

Kensei, let me give you a related piece of info.

If you want to start the Metal Gear Solid franchise from the very beginning, you can get the first Metal Gear Solid PS1 game either physically or online through the PlayStation Store. It will work with the PS3, but also on the PSP if you have purchased it through the Store. But don't expect any graphical improvements, as you get the same exact game than back then. You'll get the original PS1 graphics.

I'm saying that because the MGS HD Collection starts from Metal Gear Solid 2.

Although Final Fantasy's used to be some of my favorite games I don't think most JRPG's do it for me anymore. Especially the ones that are crazy stories full of crazy characters.

okamiden I will keep in mind. I never played the original but I heard good things.

(Games received a score of 7.0 or higher from Gamespot)

RTS Games:
Knights in the Nightmare (also on PSP)
Robocalypse
Lock's Quest

Action Adventure:
Dementium
Dementium II
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Assassin's Creed II: Discovery

I know that Contra and Aliens: Infestation got good reviews as well.

You're going to have to better define what "Non-crazy" means though. lol

KitN is a great game. It mixes the RPG, bullet hell, and RTS genres into a pretty fun game. But the stories slow to get going (and there are 8 endings in the DS version) and battles can get pretty repetitive.

Radiant Historia is really good from what I hear.

Chrono Trigger for DS if you haven't played it before?

Added after 3 minutes:

There was also a first-person survival horror game that was supposed to be alright. I can't remember the name of it though :/ anyone able to help me out? It came out pretty early in the original DS' life from what I remember....

After playing Tales of the Abyss 3D, I have decided I want to get in to the tales series.

With this, Tales of Graces F has peaked my interest. Anyone else getting it?

02-24-2012, 01:50 AM

supposedly Tales of Vesperia is the absolute best Tales game you should give it a whirl

Dimentio · 02-24-2012, 02:18 AM

Tales of Graces F didn't exactly have very a good plot and the cast pretty much gets no character development but the battle system alone makes up for all of the game's flaws so I guess that's something for everyone to look forward too... ._.

redturtle806 · 02-24-2012, 02:25 AM

You should play Tales of Phantasia at some point too. The music and story are legendary in that game.

02-24-2012, 02:33 AM

I'm in the exact same boat as you are, my friend. I definitely want to get it, I just don't know when I will. I have yet to get a PlayStation 3 but when I do Vesperia or Graces will be among one of my first games.

Definitely getting it. Still waiting to see if Amazon wants to give me any bonuses, otherwise I guess I'll be ordering from GameStop. =/

If you want it though, I would grab it soon after it comes out-- I can see Namco doing a low print run because they have no faith in the Tales series over here in NA.

If you have a 360 I would highly suggest that you get Tales of Vesperia. It definitely feels like one of the best polished Tales titles, and the localization is awesome. You can just tell that a lot of hours and careful thought were put into Vesperia. If you loved Abyss you will looooove Vesperia.

Yeah, it definitely seems like Namco Bandai doesnt have any faith in the series. When abyss came out, I think 15 people had it pre-ordered at my gamestop and my gamestop was only shipped 5 copies, so it was first come first serve, even for those who preordered it.

>getting a $20 psn card for my vita
>played almost nothing but first party nintendo titles all my life

go crazy with recommendations

nasic870 · 03-02-2012, 09:25 PM

Super Stardust Delta w/DLC
Mutant Blobs attack
Gurumin
Ys 7 and Oath in Felghana
Corpse Party
War of the Lions
Trails in the Sky
The Third Birthday
MH Freedom Unite
MegaMan Maverick Hunter X (it's hard)
Dracula X Chronicles (I got it for Symphony of the Night)
Crush

PSOne classics are a good place to look into once they get it up and running. There are other PSP games I'd recommend but they're over $20.

Edit: Forgot about Patapon, Syphon Filter, Retribution, Daxter, etc.

**Baroque** · 03-02-2012, 09:33 PM

Corpse Party, Dan. You'll love it. It's just your kinda game. I knows it.

Noddles · 03-02-2012, 09:37 PM

Is Rayman Origins worth it?

I'm thinking about getting it on steam.

Is it like DKC?

03-03-2012, 12:42 AM

From what I've played of Rayman Origins it is quite awesome. Unfortunately I don't think the PC version has co op, I'll probably end up getting it on Steam when it's on sale.

Argh! It's still not available here in Australia. Is it very easy to change PSN accounts on the PSP? I heard Dan was doing on his Vita, I may just wait until I get a Vita to get Corpse Party though.

Noddles · 03-03-2012, 12:53 AM

I played the demo and it is amazing

And yes, it said it had 4 player coop, but I'm not sure if it's online.

Probably gonna buy it, or if it gets a sale.

03-03-2012, 12:57 AM

Well local co op only is pretty much the same as no co op to me, especially on PC. I don't think it has online which is a shame.

03-03-2012, 07:37 AM

get Ys seven after playing it it'll make you crave Ys Celceta which will come to vita later

mariomush · 03-11-2012, 08:13 AM

I want to become a better and bigger Sega Fan like i am with Nintendo.
The sega game series i've played so far are : Vector Man, Sonic of course, Alex Kidd, Shinobi, Samba de Amigo, Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatcher, and i'm planning on getting Ristar as you can see on my avatar
could anyone recommend some Sega games i should try i really enjoy platformer, puzzle, rpg, scrolling shooters, and action/adventure games but i really don't have a preference i like pretty much all types of games except educational (of course)

nasic870 · 03-11-2012, 09:11 AM

Valkyria Chronicles (best Sega game I played this gen), Jet Set Radio (it's coming out to PSN/XBLA soon), Phantasy Star games (Portables are out, Online 2 is coming), Crush or CRUSH3D, Yakuza (never played it myself), they're coming out with Rhythm Thief and they make the Hatsune Miku games too. They're import friendly. If you have older consoles, you should look into the Shining games and Skies of Arcadia. Also, they published Bayonetta, Vanquish, and MadWorld (all of which are awesome).

Rayman Origins is a great platformer. And it's sort of like DKC. I mean, it's a platformer and it has a map where you select your stages and you can unlock more stages by finding more cages and by collecting more lums.

It's a shame an online co-op isn't available. It's the case on every platforms and not just PC.

bethany7 · 03-24-2012, 08:22 PM

Wasn't sure whether to put this in this thread or the other recommendation thread but oh well...

Does anyone have any recommendations for DS games, as I'm going slightly insane waiting for Heroes of Ruin/Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon ToTT to come out. I like RPGs, but have played Dragon Quest IX and the Pokemon games (if they count as RPGs). Also love Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon series, but have played most of those. Open to trying something new, if it is accessible to someone who is not particularly what one would call a "gamer".

Thanks a lot.

Scratch that. To anyone who's played Glory of Heracles: Is it worth it at $9.41? It's peaked my interest a bit, but i've read that it's kinda bland. Would the game be worth it at the previously mentioned price?

03-25-2012, 06:13 PM

I tried Chrono Trigger, SNES version, on my Android phone by *CENSORED*. It looks good so far, better than FFVII, IMO.

But now, I want the game on an actual game console. Sure, I have the Retro Duo, which is the only SNES thing I have at the moment, so I can get the SNES cartridge. But I bet it's expensive as hell. I also have, of course, a 3DS, so I can get the DS game, but the cheapest I could find for a new copy is about 24 bucks on eBay, and, for a used copy, 15 bucks at my local store.

On the PlayStation Store. It's only 10 bucks, if I recall correctly. But it's the PS1 version. I heard the PS1 version is worse. Is it that much worse? Is the DS version 5-14 bucks better than the digital PS1 version?

lightyears ahead of the ps1 version. even in digital form the ps1 version takes 15 seconds load time just to get to the menu. the DS version has no load times, it has all the extras of the ps1 version and then some.

I'll keep the DS version in mind then. Thanks!

Is Super Mario Bros on the VC/3DS worth it?

I want it but I want to know if its worth me spending ?4.50 on it.

Thanks in advance!

No it's not.

IvyProfen · 04-03-2012, 11:17 AM

Is there any here who has played Pokemon Rangers? I've been told that its a fun game by a friend, but I'm not convinced that its worth buying. The game seems a little too simple.

I know the original one has a way to get Manaphy. Is there any perks to picking up the other 2 games?

How old is the game? 27 years now? Video games were a relatively new form of entertainment at the time of its release so you'll find that its design is lacking in a lot of what games of today feature. I'd say the main problems are that it is somewhat short, repetitive and lacking in replay-ability. For the price of ?4.50 it is not worth it, but if you're a Mario fan you may still enjoy it so whether or not you think that enjoyment, however short it may last, is worth the price then go for it.

Have you really never played it before?

Btw, you should have asked this in the 3DS games recommendation thread.

I would say that the price (that I converted from ? to Canadian $'s) is a bit high for the game's age and length, but by not that much.

But hey, the mother of side-scrolling platformers can still be fun today, so yeah, I would say it's worth getting. But if you want a more complete Super Mario Bros. game, you can look for Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. These two games are still being argued for the best 2D Mario game.

That just gave me a cool idea for a thread. Let's see if it ain't already made...

No...... I find it hard to believe myself. If its short and repetitive, I probably won't download it then. I'll probably just play it online then.

And yeah, I probably should have, but since I'm here what are your opinions on Kirbys Adventure 3D? I've never played a Kirby game so I don't really know how good it is

Jasper · 04-03-2012, 03:12 PM

I don't have it. I don't like Pokemon spinoffs, so I don't think it'd be worth buying.

Noddles · 04-03-2012, 03:18 PM

It's not a very fun game.

I hated the circle drawing mechanic.

Ixchel · 04-03-2012, 04:04 PM

I didn't really enjoy it much when I first tried playing but I never tried again. Considering how old they are and that you can pick them up used it doesn't seem like a huge risk...

I've actually played all three of them. They don't have much replay value though so I sold them back after I was done with them. I think they're okay.

Along with a manaphy, I know I got a darkrai from one of the Pokemon Ranger games ( I think it was the third one.)

IvyProfen · 04-04-2012, 01:23 AM

hmm good to know. Thx for the info.

Wolfcomputer · 04-06-2012, 09:35 PM

What games were good for the Game Boy Color? (Apart from the Zelda and Mario games)

04-10-2012, 04:08 PM

Is anyone familiar with Kinect games?

I might rent one just to try it. What games are the best for that thing? I already have Child of Eden.

I've played a couple of them, their really good!
Sure Microsoft may have borrowed the whole motion sensing thing, but they've done a fantastic job with it.

Should I pick up The Legend of Zelda when it hits the Eshop on Thursday?

It's a ridiculously hard game if you don't know where to go at all, and there are always a million enemies on the screen at once.

iHaider · 04-11-2012, 11:30 PM

Hello, i am looking to get a new 3ds game, i am into multiplayer games and good graphics. The three main games i have benn thinking to get are TEKKEN PRIME,RESIDENT EVIL REVERLATIONS AND METAL GEAR SNAKE EATER 3D. Ok ow lets get started, i have think about getting tekken as the online is really fun,and doesnt get boring.The down side to this game is the Move i have heard it Rubbish, and they havent really botherd with the 3d in the game. Ok now Resident Evil REV' I am a good fan of The RES series i have played the demo and i thought it was fantastic! The 3d is awesome many reviews have agreed the online in the game is co op story, this is good but once completing Story mode what other things can you do? is their multiplayer versus modes? Now Snake Eater the 3d in this game is Awesome but the downsides are the frames rates of the game are horrible i have played the demo and in cut scenes it verry laggy when the characters move around. also the camera is zoomed in to snake to much in other MGS games this has been different.. but i have read that the demo differs allot from the game,the game runs more smooth. I dont think there is multiplayer in this game so that a let down too.
So guyes, Tekken Resident Evil or Metal Gear? Oh and if you have ANY of these game please feel free to share your thoughts!

- P.S i wrote this on my 3ds and my hand is dead. Thanks4Reading! =)

**Kinvara** · 04-11-2012, 11:36 PM

Resident Evil is the best one. No contest.

Raid mode more than makes up for no "vs" mode.

Sephazon · 04-13-2012, 05:43 AM

Not really needing a game recommendation, per se, but I am interested in the best version for Metal Gear Solid (still haven't completed my collection).
What differences are there between versions and which would you recommend my buying for playability and not simple for my collection.

clam soup · 04-14-2012, 03:37 AM

Can you guys name some really good original ds games that every ds owner should own? I really didn't pay the original ds much attention when it first came out and recently i've been wanting to start a ds collection. The help would be nice, thanks

.

nasic870 · 04-14-2012, 03:45 AM

TWEWY and Knights in the Nightmare are the most original games on the system that I've played. You might want to give Radiant Historia, Ghost Trick, and 999 a gander too.

wohoo · 04-17-2012, 12:08 AM

Must play ds games:

ace attorney series
layton series (its puzzle game,but the story is awesome)
trauma center
hotel dusk: room 215
mario & luigi inside story
elite beat agents
ds castlevania series
moon & dementium 2
retro game challenge
world ends with you
custom robo arena
ninja gaiden dragon sword (imo, touch-only game perfection)
zelda ds are quite decent as well

i think that all i can think off right now

banjo3dsie · 04-17-2012, 12:11 AM

I'm just here to say that Tribes Ascend is one of the best PC shooters I've ever played.

Scizor · 04-21-2012, 06:35 PM

So I'm split between preordering one or two 3DS games or getting a bunch of PS3 games for cheaper (or maybe even some really good PS2 games I missed). Any recommendations?

The 3DS games I want to preorder are Heroes of Ruin and KH3D.

So far the PS3 games that interest me are MGS4, MGS bundle, LBP2, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, Uncharted series, Skyrim, Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

nasic870 · 04-21-2012, 10:46 PM

Buy Dark Souls new. Pre-order KH3D. Just don't miss out on Dark Souls.

You might like Valkyria Chronicles and Folklore too.

04-23-2012, 02:41 AM

I recommend some games: Kingdom Age
Shadowrun Online
Waren Story
Crystal Saga

IvyProfen · 05-04-2012, 07:37 AM

I'm currently running out of games to play on my 3DS. Aside from the 3DS games I have already, I'm not really interested in picking anything else that is out. So any suggestions on DS games that are good and possibly could have been missed.

DS Games Series I played and liked

Spoiler!

3DS Games I have:

Spoiler!

3DS DLC

Spoiler!

Any suggestions on what I should pick up? I'm thinking about Radiant Historia and thats pretty much it.

**Kinvara** · 05-04-2012, 02:40 PM

Get Radiant Historia. That is all.

Mz3ds · 05-22-2012, 02:48 AM

So I've been wanted to get kid Icarus for the past week but then realized that dragons dogma is about to come out...I need to pick one but I don't know which one....any suggestions???

Kiryu · 05-22-2012, 02:51 AM

Dragon Dogma even I haven't tried yet.

TheMightyFludd · 05-22-2012, 02:53 AM

Umm Dragons Dogma duh. Its the superior game. I cant wait to pick it up tomorrow.

Aries · 05-22-2012, 02:57 AM

I'd go with Kid Icarus because of the portability, I'd wait a little bit longer for Dragon's Dogma just to make sure your not screwed by Capcom's tactics.

PixelKnot · 05-22-2012, 03:02 AM

It's up to YOU to ask that question.

ZeroMaverick · 05-22-2012, 03:11 AM

Come on really?
Dragons Dogma got a 7.5.

7.5

Get KIU

Mz3ds · 05-22-2012, 03:16 AM

I was thinking of waiting a bit after Dogma came out to see what people said about it..but waiting for a game is torture hahaha

TheMightyFludd · 05-22-2012, 03:18 AM

Judging by the demo the game looks really fun and it has great graphics. Plus its open world. Kid Icarus is just boring and linear with ****ty graphics.

Crosseyed91 · 05-22-2012, 03:21 AM

DRAGONS DOGMA! I am begging my boyfriend to get it so I can try out Resident Evil 6. That is if you care for that franchise.

Mz3ds · 05-22-2012, 03:24 AM

I never got into resident evil..my friends think I'm crazy for not playing them...tbh they always tend to scare the crap outta me lol
