What Game Should I Get?

[Jimnymebob]

I don't own any consoles, I'm looking for a good pc game to pass the time, Not any fps.

I want something like hotel dusk, but a bit faster. I wanna solve puzzles, but not with just challenges, i want a story. The story is more important, I need something engaging. Something like a psychological thriller with puzzles?

Sanitarium is the best you could do if you're looking for a psychological thriller with puzzles, but if The Longest Journey is the one I think it is, then that's pretty cool as well.

Also, Sam and Max Hits the Road is the better Sam and Max choice .

Ah that's probably right.

I still need to play the LucasArts one, so I often kinda forget about it. Nor do I know about how much different (for better or for worse) it's from the Telltale ones.

I need a fun local (not online) multiplayer game with a lot of replayability that isn't a typical 2d fighter/first person shooter . System doesn't matter. I haven't been able to find anything new and interesting for my friends and I to screw around with after we get sick of competitive fightan gaems/first person shooters.

Disco Room gave a few suggestions but I want more ideas.

If you have a Dreamcast, get Power Stone 1 and 2.

For Game Cube, get Kirby's Air Ride, Mario Party 4, or F-Zero GX.

 

[Rubyiris]

get a ps2+multi tap/wii and get dokapon kingdom. only local multiplayer game youll ever need outside of ssbm.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Derp, so, I got a new Red Wii since my old one bricked a while ago, and I couldn't seem to find any of my old games. Currently have: Super Mario Galaxy 2 and NSMBW, but I'd like to get one more for now.

Question is: Brawl or Donkey Kong? (I'll end up buying one or the other eventually)

 

[Lythium]

Donkey Kong, because it looks tiiiight.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

DKCR should be Wii game of the year, if that gives you an idea.

 

[Rubyiris]

Get dokapon kingdom. *** the other games.

 

[O D I N]

Donkey Kong, because it looks tiiiight.

I can say that it is in fact tiiiight.

 

[Melomaniacal]

I've been hankering for a good class-based PC RPG lately, and I don't know where to go. I tried out Temple of Elemental Evil and Neverwinter Nights, but neither did much for me. TOEE was too difficult to get into, and NwN just didn't capture me at all.

I'm not really looking for Japanese style RPGs. Aside from a few gems, JRPGs don't do it for me.

I'm open to any suggestions.

 

[O D I N]

Have you tried Torchlight?

Torchlight is a Diablo-crawler... Or if you've never played Diablo... Diablo! Or Diablo 2, which is better.

 

[Melomaniacal]

I was heavily into Diablo 2 from release until last month, haha.
Yeah, I've tried Torchlight, but was unsatisfied by the classes and style.

 

[O D I N]

Wait for Torchlight 2 then.

I got TL1 a while ago when it was on sale. Love it. The best thing about it is that it's a VERY moddable game. So people have added other classes and such.

 

[Fuelbi]

I have the cash for any video game I want and I'm starting to get bored of BO. What can I buy for the PS3 that's not an RPG like FF?

 

[Lythium]

So, are you looking for an RPG that is unlike FF? Or any game at all?

 

[finalark]

I have the cash for any video game I want and I'm starting to get bored of BO. What can I buy for the PS3 that's not an RPG like FF?

Could you be a bit more specific? Are you asking for Western RPGs or games that aren't RPGs?

This x10.

I don't have a PS3, but I can certainly add my two cents.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Dragon Age :3

 

[Fuelbi]

How bout I just say no rpg at all because I hate them

 

[finalark]

What what do you define as an RPG?

Okay, let me ask you this, do you see Dragon Age and Mass Effect as RPGs?

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Dragon Age <3 I'm going to wait getting II, though. I waited to get DA w/ all the Dlc for 50 dollars. I plan to do the same with II, because it's stupid how fast that adds up.

 

[Lythium]

I'm just going to hazard a guess that if you don't even remotely like RPGs, then you're probably not going to like Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

Have you played any Assassin's Creed? Brotherhood was released not too long ago, and it's really good.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Should I pre-order DA2 and get all the cool stuff, or wait for an ultimate edition 7 DLC's down the road?

 

[Fuelbi]

I don't even remotely like RPGs. I even hate the Zelda series as far as playing not even a fourth of Majora's Mask and turning it off due to my dislike for RPGs (Shimazu can tell you if you want, I already discussed that with him)

And I got Brotherhood, got all the armor, nearly renovated all of Rome, got all the feathers, not even gonna bother to get the Borgia flags, and the online mode gets really stale after like a week of playing it so I don't want to play that anymore

EDIT:

And I already played Assassin's Creed II for the 360 and I really have a hatred for the first game due to the damned repetitiveness of the thing

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ Spiderman Shattered Dimensions. Go.

 

[finalark]

Alright, no RPGs it is (sorry about the ME/DA question, some people have it in their heads that ALL RPGS = FINAL FANTASY).

Yakuza 3 is a pretty good beat-em-up. Think of it as a 3D version of Streets of Rage with some open world elements thrown in between the fights. It's a bit on the slow side at the start of the game but it picks up speed once you get to Tokyo.

Basically, if you ever played Shenmue back on the Dreamcast it's a much, much more refined version of that.

 

[Lythium]

If he doesn't like repetitive missions, he's probably not going to like Yakuza 3. Which is a shame, because that game is excellent.

Have you played any Uncharted games?

 

[finalark]

If he doesn't like repetitive missions, he's probably not going to like Yakuza 3. Which is a shame, because that game is excellent.

If he doesn't like repetitive mission then why is he playing Assassin's Creed?

EDIT: NM

Have you played any Uncharted games?

The Uncharted games are also really good.

Resistance 1 is also pretty good. It plays like a throw back to when FPS' used health bars and you could carry like, a billion weapons at once. It's a bit on the generic side, though.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Spiderman Shattered Dimensions(2)




No seriously, get Infamous, it's so fun.

 

[Fuelbi]

EDIT: NM

Leaving you by yourself to do three missions by yourself with no help at all while trying to thinly veil the repetitiveness by climbing buildings is repetitive as ****

The Uncharted games are also really good.

Played it at a friend's house (well not all of it, but I already know the endings for both games)

Resistance 1 is also pretty good. It plays like a throw back to when FPS' used health bars and you could carry like, a billion weapons at once. It's a bit on the generic side, though.

Played the game at my friend's wasn't as good as I expected

Spiderman Shattered Dimensions(2)

Heh, maybe

No seriously, get Infamous, it's so fun.

My friend came over to my house and we played the game in its entirety

 

[Lythium]

Man, you're really picky.

Hmm... what about Vanquish? Or maybe something like God of War or Bayonetta?

 

[finalark]

Man, you're really picky.

This.

Come on, bro. GoW3? Heavy Rain? LittleBigPlanet? Any of those appeal to you?

 

[Rubyiris]

No piracy talk!

 

[Lythium]

I do.

I'm kinda into supporting games that I like.

[finalark]

who in their right mind buys games anymore? Get a flashcart LOL.

Who in their right mind would purchase a game to reward the people who worked hard on it and to show support for the company? Get a flashcart LOL.

 

[Fuelbi]

Man, you're really picky.

Hmm... what about Vanquish? Or maybe something like God of War or Bayonetta?

Might try Vanquish thanks

This.

Come on, bro. GoW3? Heavy Rain? LittleBigPlanet? Any of those appeal to you?

Not into the GoW series, I'm already considering Vanquish, and LittleBigPlanet seems too kiddie for my taste

 

[Crimson King]

I am 24, and all my friends around my age love LBP. The amount of customization is insane. I bought it when it came out in 2008 and still play it.

Give it a try.

GoW3 is utterly brutal, and the best in a series of great games, if you are up for giving it a shot.

 

[Lythium]

You can only really enjoy LBP if you have a large TV, in my opinion. It's really hard to see some of the stuff on a smaller scale.

@Fuelbi: If you're still taking recommendation, absolutely get Gran Turismo 5. That game to me is pretty insanely addicting so far and is quickly becoming my favorite game this gen. I also heard Ratchet And Clank: A Crack In Time is great as well and based off my brief gameplay of it, I agree with the general scores. And of course, hundreds of other PS3 games I haven't even touched yet that should be good.
