What Game Should I Get?

[finalark]

Yakuza 3 has some rather strong RPG elements, I don't consider it a full fledged RPG but its close enough and awesome. Haven't played Yakuza 4 yet, though.

And ES4 will suck up your free time if you get into it.

Hey, I'm looking for more fighting games to play and as of right now I'm stuck between choosing Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition and Blazblue Continuum Shift.

I'm not sure which one to get based because they both look fun in their own ways. Anyone mind listing the pros and cons of each game?

Assuming you don't have either SSFIV, or BlazBlue Calamity Trigger, I'd recommend Arcade Edition. Granted, I've not tried it yet, but I've played enough SSFIV to have a decent idea of how the game plays, new characters and tier shifts excluded. I've also not played CS yet, so I'm probably not the best person to be advising you on this XD.

Street Fighter is a much more slow paced game, with a larger character roster, so if you like a lot of characters, then SF is great. However, BlazBlue has a much more diverse roster, even if it is much shorter. They are both technical, SF focuses on timing and linking moves together, whereas BB has quick button press combos, so its pretty easy to create a decent combo number, although its in no way a beginners game- its just more accessible. SF has a solid online mode, I don't know about BB but it seems to be active on here at least.

If your one of those rare people that care about things other than versus modes, then SF has a standard arcade mode with two bonus stages, as well as character combo trials that are pretty ridiculous, both to execute, and in practicality, whereas I know BB at least has a fully fledged visual novely story mode, as well as an arcade mode, and possibly some challenges now.

The key factor is that SSFIVAE is getting a free balance update sometime in the future, whereas BBCS will be getting a new revision, with new modes, at least one new character, and the 3 characters that you'd have to buy for £5/$7 (not sure if those prices are right, just going of the internet) each if you went out and got BBCS now.

But yeah, I'm sure some people with a broader knowledge for the technicalities of these games will be able to help you more lol.

 

[Rutger]

I'm not much of a SF fan but I can add a little for BB.

BBCS has three DLC characters for $7.99 iirc, CS does have a challenge mode. Netplay is pretty good imo.

As mentioned BBCS is getting an update in arcades this winter, it will get a Vita port and it has been confirmed for PS3 & 360, however it has not been confirmed by Arcsys if this will be a patch or if it will be a new disc so if you do choose BB then you might want to wait for a word on that.

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

Hmm ok well thanks guys. I decided to get Street Fighter Arcade Edition. I would've preferred Blazblue, but based on what you told me Rutger, I think I should wait a little bit more before buying it.

 

[Lythium]

At this point, you might as well wait until the Extend edition is released. There's been rumours that it's a disc release, so there's not much point in picking up CS and all its DLC, when there's probably going to be a new one within six months or so.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, I'd second that. It's a good game and a good series, but you're probably better off waiting a bit. Especially since if you'd never played one, by the time you're comfortable with your character(s), then Extend will have come out. I could try to give you some comments on AE, but I only really played SFIV Vanilla and well, it wasn't my thing, lol.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

God of War Origins or Starfox 64?

Gimme some pc only games too

 

[finalark]

God of War Origins or Starfox 64?

I'd say Origins, unless you have very strong nostalgia for Star Fox 64.

Gimme some pc only games too

Anything in specific or just in general?

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

No fps please. And I've actually never played Starfox

Ryu, you honestly seem like a guy who wouldn't mind replaying games over and over to beat your own high scores. With that being said, I can see you putting in a good 15-20 hours in SF for sure compared to someone like me who would put in 3 hours lol.

StarFox is a great portable game as you can finish a level fairly quickly, and not have to worry about remembering what to do next (Zelda for example).

But you'll stil put in more hours when it comes to God of War...and if you haven't played either of those games...then it's essentially 2 gams to go through.

 

[Firus]

So, Oblivion is apparently on sale for $5 on Steam until tomorrow evening. On one hand, that's a really good deal and I'd like to have Oblivion. On the other hand, my roommate has lent out his disk to me for pretty much as long as I want (although I feel bad keeping it for too long), so although I can't play the game without the disk, I can still play it for as long as I'm borrowing his copy, and I do intend to get Skyrim at some point, just not quite yet.

So my question is, is it worth buying Oblivion, or should I just play whatever else I want to play of it while I'm borrowing my roommate's copy and wait for Skyrim? The one larger reservation I have about just playing it on my roommate's copy is, if I ever decide to play it in the future, I won't have the game anymore. (I could always buy it later too, but I don't think it's going to get any cheaper than $5.)

Also on a related note, does anybody know if it's possible to use the same save file from the disk for it on Steam if I buy it? Because that may also play into whether or not I get it on Steam, because I might be too lazy to play back to where I am (even though it's not all that far).

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Does anyone make Turn based RPG's anymore?

I love doing that, but I hated Starfox. The gameplay got dull really fast imo. I like Score games, but ugh...

 

[dualseeker]

Hello everyone! I've been looking into KoFXIII and it looks like a really cool game. I haven't been able to decide if I wanted to get it from what I've heard, though. I've heard conflicting reports about the online play, and I'm not sure if I should get it. I like fighters like BlazBlue and Marvel Vs. Capcom a lot, but I'm not sure if KoFXIII is for me.

What's your opinion?

 

[Lythium]

It's a good and fun fighter. I'd say go for it. The execution is a little more intensive than BB or Marvel, but it's not too difficult to pick up and play.

If you're only going to be playing it online, you might get a bit of a mixed bag from what I've heard.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Has anyone played "Saints Row" series?

I'm watching a "Let's Play" on Youtube and it's surprisingly complex for something that seemed so cliche and boring from my first impression.

What kind of game CAN'T be good with a mollusk launcher?

 

[Anthon1996]

Uncharted 3 or Skyward Sword?

 

[ZIO]

Skyward Sword, definitely.

 

[theeboredone]

Unless you really like the Uncharted MP, go with SS. You can rent Uncharted and beat it in a few days.

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, play/get SS over UC3 IMO.

 

[giraffelasergun]

I'm thinking about getting a 3DS for christmas and two games. What games should I get with it?

Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.

 

[giraffelasergun]

Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.

Ah thank you :3!

 

[Anthon1996]

You should also get that limited edition Zelda 3DS that comes with OoT 3D.

Uncharted 3 or Battlefield 3?

 

[F8AL]

Uncharted 3 or Battlefield 3?

Uncharted 3 for SP, BF3 for MP.

 

[theeboredone]

I would look at mp vids of both games to see which you prefer.

But for the over all exp go with uc3

 

[OmegaXXII]

★ I'd say it depends, like the others pointed out, if it's mp then Battlefield 3 is your game, if sp then Uncharted 3 is your candidate, although I prefer Battlefield over Uncharted 3, it's a way better game that's more thrilling and fun IMO.

 

[theeboredone]

Has anyone played LA Noire? It's 20 bucks used at Gamestop. Anything I'll be missing out if I buy it used? DLC or something?

Buy it used and buy a season pass for the DLC if you want.

[Fuelbi]

Alright so the game isn't for me, but the game is for another guy. Basically he wants me to recommend him some PS3 games that are shooters and sports games and he would greatly prefer it if the game was compatible with the move.

Any ideas?

 

[theeboredone]

NBA 2k12 is compatible with Move. Though how good it is...well I don't think it is.

Far as shooters go, I do believe Resistance 3 supports Move pretty well.

And without the Move what games are good for the PS3?

 

[theeboredone]

For shooters, Resistance 3 is still pretty solid along with Killzone 3. Sports, he should definitely check out Fifa 12 (doesn't support Move.)

But if you're asking for PS3 games in general (exclusives?), there are plenty to go around.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Perhaps that new Socom game that came out. It also supports Move.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

It's my gf's 5 year anni with me, and she's a super nerd. She likes jewels and stuff, but hardly as much as games. She is playing kingdom hearts BBS, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and Harvest Moon atm. Any good games for ps3/psp/3ds that fit that area?

 

[RespawningJesus]

If she likes KH, then you could get her any of the KH DS games. (358/2 Days or re:Coded)

For PSP, she might like Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy is she enjoys the Final Fantasy aspect of the KH series. She also might like God Eater Burst, since it is pretty similar to Monster Hunter.

 

[NatP]

Okay, so I have 1000 Wii Points I want to use but I don't know which game(s) to buy. I already have DKC1, Super Metroid, Zelda OoT, Kid Icarus, Ice Climber, Mario Kart 64, Sonic 2 and Strong Bad's game Ep1. Any suggestions?

If you enjoyed OoT, then get Majora's Mask. If you never played Smash 64, then Smash 64.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I would get Smash 64 too. That game is still fun to play.
