What Game Should I Get?

[NatP]

Thanks for the suggestions but I actually already have both of those games for the N64.

It's really hard to choose. :/ Yoshi's Island, Paper Mario, Phoenix Wright, 2 NES games, etc... I don't know which is the best option...

 

[RespawningJesus]

I would have suggested Sin and Punishment, but that is a 1200 import game.

Apparently the Paper Mario series is good though. Also, have you considered Kirby and the Crystal Shards for 64?

EDIT: Shoot, I accidently double posted the same message. I was sending the message from my 3DS, and for some reason the post didn't register properly, so I clicked the post button again.

I apologize.

EDIT 2:

Thanks F8AL for merging my two posts.

Paper Mario for sure!

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?

Paper Mario, should last you a while. Be sure to collect every badge!

Can never go wrong with Paper Mario

Is CBFD on the VC?

 

[ZIO]

I don't think so.

Paper Mario is an okay choice, but I believe the somewhat bland, easy, and lightheartedness of the game would be somewhat tiresome.

Back in the day, folks were itching for a new Mario RPG, plus and RPG of some kind with high stature for the N64. The answer was this. It satisfied many then, but I doubt it could do the same now. The better Paper mario is TTYD, and RPG is Superstar Saga. They're just better outright, straight-up. But if you're looking for a new game, I'd back the **** up on that choice, lol.

Can you afford Sin & Punishment on the VC, or is it more than 1000? What about World of Goo? You could always run for an SNES game like A Link to the Past, or Super Mario World, if you haven't got those and would like to revisit them (>implying you've already played them).

That's all I could think of off the top of my head. There's a serious good slew of Wiiware that I have yet to get acquainted with. Look into that, honestly because it'll be new experiences, and some you might enjoy. Cave Story is one that comes to mind, on top of the earlier mentioned World of Goo.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Sin and Punishment is worth 1200 points since it is an import.

Unfortunately no . None of Rare's IP's are on the VC. Only DKC games.

In a recent Rare Scribes (basically a mini Q&A from Rare), they said it's likely their games will remain exclusive, but if there is a ripple in the tides we'll let you know. So I wouldn't say it's 100% impossible to see Banjo Kazooie or something, but Nintendo isn't a fan of Conker

edit- exclusive to Microsoft* that is.

Well, I don't really blame Nintendo. IIRC, CBFD didn't sell that well on the 64. (iunno about the original Xbox version tho.)

Good thing I can play BK/BT and PD on the XBLA!

Still waiting for Goldeneye 007 tho...but we all know that all the parties involved in that cluster**** will never reach a compromise.

 

[yani]

Both versions didn't sell well. But it didn't do well on the N64 because it got little no advertising. Nintendo didn't like the fact that Rare made Conker a mature character after appearing in Diddy Kong Racing/Conker's Pocket Tales.

I'd also love to see Goldeneye

I don't think Nintendo would even allow CBFD on the VC anyways.

Are there any 'M' rated games available on the VC or only E-T ones?

A quick search through the ESRB's website shows no M-rated Wii titles that weren't disc releases.

On a minor note, which is the better game, Battlefield 2 or 3?

 

[yani]

Good question! I did a quick Wikipedia and discovered that there is in fact ONE M rated title

Splatterhouse 2

You mean Bad Company 2, right?

 

[Deleted member]

Sure, why not?

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, get BFBC2. It's a pretty good game and tons of people on the 360/PS3/PC still play the game online.

BF3 is fine too, I guess. But I hated the beta.

Sounds good.

Spoiler

Incidentally, the setting of the Vietnam War was the motivation for my only Call of Duty purchase to date.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Anyone been following the development of TERA Online?

I hadn't even heard of it until recently, but I think it looks pretty good

An MMO that gets rid of auto targeting enemies, making it more like an action game

 

[theeboredone]

Only emphasizes the need for a good internet connection.

 

[yani]

My brother got BF3 and traded it in after two weeks. I didn't even bother trying it because it looks really unappealing. A slowed down Mw3 if you will.

Well, trying to compare Battlefield with CoD is like comparing bricks to straw: it can't be done. The only reason why both series even gets compared to a lot because they are both "rivals" in a sense.

One rule to Battlefield: don't play it like CoD. You will get destroyed if you do so.

If you like to have some sort of strategy and more skill involved, go with Battlefield.

If you want to pick up and play a game without a 2nd thought, and want some pure shooting action, then go with CoD.

 

[F8AL]

Just a heads up: If you pre-order ME3 on Origin, you also get BF3 for free!

Meh. I didn't like what little I played of ME2.

 

[F8AL]

Meh. I didn't like what little I played of ME2.

The deal is over, EA stopped giving the game out.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Guild Wars 2 or TERA Online.

Supposedly both are going against the traditions of the typical MMO, trying to offer new things.

 

[Xyro77]

if you guys havnt already, please get Resident Evil: Revelations. MEGA good and tons of replay value. by far the best game on the 3ds

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Raid Mode. It is pretty much all I play on it. I feel ORC should have this as well.

 

[theeboredone]

Since there is no "PC" thread, I'm gonna post it here. I got an email/unique code from Gamestop for a free game. If you go into a store between now and March 19th with this code, you can get a free download of "Stoneloops of Jurassica." Pretty much a puzzle game. PM me if you are interested in the code and I will forward you my email.

I want an RPG that fits this bill.

I love playing through a game and knowing that I'm not playing through it in the same way someone else has. When I take on the Role in the Playing Game, I want my Role to be unique. My character needs unique accessories and armor and weapons.

Don't care about the combat system, don't care about the story, don't care about the graphics.

Let me tell you what gets me high. Take Kingdom Hearts I. You had 3 accessory slots in that game. You could synthesize accessories, but there was no single accessory that beat all the rest. You could have Titan Chains or Crystal Crowns or whatever depending on what you needed, magic or strength or health, etc.

I like the number crunching, a slow optimization of my character. A huge cache of armor and weapons and accessories with stats that are well-balanced against each other is what makes a good RPG to me.

When I found out only Goofy got 4 accessory slots and Sora had to deal with 3, I was pissed beyond measure. That was customization I'd been robbed of.

If I could have slots for shoulders, helmets, boots, socks, each of the 10 damn rings that could fit on my fingers, then I'd be happy.

And challenge is required. What's the point of meticulously playing with stats if you can't barely scrape through some boss thanks to your calculations? The point is gay, blarghrgay.

If anyone knows of an RPG that offers a personalized grindy kind of deal, be a good Internet Samaritan and make one little boy from Texas the happiest kid for the next few weeks. ****, if it's one of those J-RPGS that lasts ten years then you just made him happier. But kid wants to fight **** and collect a ****ton of items and trinkets and armor with special effects and **** that he can try out.

Thanks (smash) brosILOVEYOU

My TC/OP skills would make it a waste, sadly.

 

[NatP]

Sorry I didn't say anything sooner, but I decided to go with Paper Mario. Now, was it a good choice? I can't say just yet, because I'm not really a fan of RPG's (Pokemon being the only exception) but this game seems to be pretty fun. I just beat world 2 and hopefully it only gets better from now on!

You might want to try Skyrim out, tbh. The combat isn't the greatest and the story is alright but the level of variety in the game is almost unparalleled in terms of how you choose to play it. The amount of lore in the game is awesome as well. Watch this youtube review to see what you think. It's long but it's detailed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54XwUi7Hc0k

Hope it helps.

 

[Varist]

I've completed Skyrim, I didn't have any fun at all. It was horrible and monotonous to me.

My friend David recommended Xenogear and Xenosaga, Morrowind, IVAN, and FFI.

Any other games with just a **** ton of gear slots?

 

[Lythium]

Varist, try Dark Souls.

It pretty much fits your description exactly.

 

[theeboredone]

Well, Demon's Souls would be better to start out with, given it's the predecessor. That way, you won't be disappointed if you go backwards.

Though the story is a bit lacking...it's definitely very subtle in a sense you have discover the plot through talks with NPCs and checking item details. It does match your description of what you want in a game though.

 

[Varist]

Dark/Demon Souls looks pretty ideal, gracias :O
have to steal the xbox from brother's room.

any other games like that, but for a handheld or the SNES+lower (for the unmentionable reason)?

 

[Lythium]

Hmm, if you have a DS, have you tried The World Ends With You?

It also fits your description pretty well.
