Author Topic: What game should I buy? (Read 7295 times)

Sayda · « **on:** November 09, 2007, 03:46:45 pm »

I was thinking of buying, or maybe renting a game, but I don't know which one.
I know that a lot of times games look cool, and turn out not so cool. Any suggestions?

I'm not really one for fighting games, I like action, shooters, adventures and RPG's, mostly. As long as they aren't based off a movie. ~.~ I own a PS2, Gamecube, and am borrowing an X-box, so any games for those systems.

Is RE 2 any good? I'm a HUGE fan of Resident Evil, so if anyone's got any say in those games, let me know.

No one say Halo (2, 3 etc), I'm currently borrowing it from a friend.

Well, if you haven't played FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus yet, I'd recommend it. It's a blast, great plot, and actually could be finished in a rental period, I'd say.

I've got those three games. ~.~ DoC is being a little -----, Fable and Morrowind were good. XD

Try the Metroid Prime Series for game cube. Good mix of all those features your looking for. Metroid Prime 3 on Wii is amazing, but its..on the wii

The recent final fantasy 13 on the PS2 is beautiful. God of War 1 or 2 are both amazing. Check out Okami and Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2 as well. You haven't lived until you played either

great stuff. More games should be like both those.

You never played 2? I personally like 2 a lot more than the original. Try that out, Nemesis, and RE4 as well.

I doubt you'll be able to find any of them, but Indigo Prophecy, Shadow of Memories and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey for Xbox are all personal favorites of mine.

Gamecube:
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Resident Evil 0, 1 & 4 (1 is a remake, and a very awesome one at that.)
Wind Waker
Pikmin
Super Mario Sunshine (a lot of people didn't like it but I had fun playing it)

My brain is too foggy to think of anything else right now. ^_^

You might also try dot hack gu. that game is also worthy of the title of crack.

@ Borderlands Games: I own a Metroid Prime game, but I can't find it... ANYWHERE. Shadow of the Colossus was an awesome game, but I haven't played Okami yet! I should, though. Is FFXIII even out yet? Or maybe I'm just not up to date. ~.~

@ Trumby: Haha no, I've never played! I'm obsessed with RE4, though. Leon and Ada are in the 2nd, and I really like their characters. 2 for the GC is speeendy, though, which is why I'm gonna ask for it for Christmas. ._.; I was planing on buying the other RE games when I had the extra money, but for now, I want to play 2!

@ reppy: I briefly played Indigo Prophecy; and from what I thought it was awesome! I haven't played the other two, though. Who DOESN'T own SS? XD

@ Hawkeye: Is there any order I should go in? I have the VERY first game of .hack, and I'm at the very last part. ~.~

Jeez, thanks for all the input, I went to Fred Meyer today to look, but they have mostly all new system games, and don't even carry GC games anymore! So instead I bought Season 2 of DBZ that I found sitting around. x.x It was the ONLY DBZ DVD they had, and I got it! >D

reppy · « **Reply #8 on:** November 10, 2007, 12:46:43 pm »

I think they still carry some near me. ^_^; But that's out in Battle Ground, sooo..

guspasho · « **Reply #9 on:** November 10, 2007, 02:09:18 pm »

Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari for PS2. They are some of my very favorites. Also, I have heard that Stubbs the Zombie for Xbox is awesome too.

PhantmK · « **Reply #10 on:** November 10, 2007, 02:22:05 pm »

Next time you want to find a good new game, call me up and I will run down the list. XD

If RPG's are what you're looking for, I'd recommend Rogue Galaxy. (Website Here: http://www.us.playstation.com/RogueGalaxy/)

It's a massive RPG from Level 5 (Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, and Dragon Quest VIII). You get an interesting cast of characters, multiple planets to explore, a space ship to travel around in, and, once your done with the story, it doesn't end there. After that, there's a hundred level dungeon to tackle. And if you're a completionist, have fun, there's over 800 weapons in the game (Weapons alone, not including other items!), plus theres a factory mode, a way to fuse weapons, and more.

It's for PS2, but its still awesome (Afterall, the PS2 is STILL the best system on the market, if you look at profits and sales, alone).

I meant FFXII

My bad. Its beautiful though

I am sure 13 will be too, when it comes out. Did you beat Shadow of the Colossus? If not how far you get? The story in that is very well done too. Okami was overlooked. Probablly one of the best games on the PS2. The way they use the divine brush to represent how your spirit powers influence reality is very cool. My only complaint with the game is that you can't speed through cut scene dialog if you read fast, but you can with normal game play dialog and other than that the game is a 10.

I saw Katamari at Freddies! But I chose DBZ over it. ~.~

Rogue Galaxy looks cooool. x.x I might have to buy. XD

Shadow of the Colossus - Yah, I beat it the entire way through, I'm almost done with it the second time around; and it DOES have awesome graphics, and a really good story line. I was mad toward the end, though! I own FFXII, I got it when it came out, and for really cheap, too! >>; But I got stuck, and haven't played it since. I do that a lot with the FF series. ~.~

Ah, I forgot to mention, I also own Okami, and yes, it is wonderful.

I've heard a Wii port/update is coming out shortly, may have to snag that aswell.

Get Beatmania US. (w/ controller)

It's cheap, fun, and popular in Japan.

Persona 3 was an awesome game. have you tried the Disgaea series yet?

No I haven't. I've heard of it, though! There's a lot of games out that I still need to play, I guess. e.e

ok here are my recommendations:

for action/adventure, I recommend The God of War series, and the Ratchet and Clank series.

Warning: God of war contains excessive violence/gore, and nudity
Ratchet & Clank has no real violence, and mature content to speak of.
The story lines of the games in these two series are all pretty good.

also, if the violence doesn't get to you, then maybe you can handle some suspense. in that category, i recommend the Silent Hill series.
Warning: keep the lights on when playing.

Other than the halo series, as far as shooters, I recommend Time Splitters.

The resident evil series only gets better as you progress in the games.
the down side to the resident evil series is in most of the games your character moves just as slow as the zombies, and the controls are a little stiff until Resident Evil 4, when all the prior problems are fixed.

Sayda · « **Reply #19 on:** November 14, 2007, 02:47:47 pm »

I haven't played the Silent Hill series, actually.

Blood and gore doesn't bother me, I've practically beaten GoW, just not 2. I've heard Time Splitters was pretty good, too. Suspense when it comes to a game is what scares me. Mostly through RE4 I was screaming. ~.~

Zenn · « **Reply #20 on:** November 14, 2007, 03:49:02 pm »

The silent Hill Series is probably the scariest game series currently running.

Ah! I just remembered a couple of good shooters.

Psi-Ops. Not you're typical shooter, but if you like rag doll effects, Psychic powers, along with you're standard arsenal of weapons, then this game will definitely cover it for ya.

First Encounter Assault Recon. F.E.A.R.
Its for X-360,PS3,PC. very good game. it'll have ya on the edge of you're seat......(wow that was really cheesy. almost like it came from a movie critic)

Also, if you're into games that mess with your head, then pick up Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
