Official "What Game(s) Should I Get?" Topic

[wingzx]

I'd like to get some new games for my 3DS, all I have right now is Link's Awakening and FE:A. Should I get Luigi's Mansion 2, Etrian Odyssey 4, or Monster Hunter?

I've played some dungeon crawlers, but I've heard Etrian Odyssey is mostly about min/maxing and grinding for stats, and that sounds a little dull. I've heard great things about Monster Hunter but I'm left handed and when I tried the demo using my left hand to move and my right for buttons it didn't go too well. I could try rearranging my hands and trying again, though.

Tales of Abyss is amazing game if u wanna get it for the 3ds i had it for PS2 and its still one of my favorite JRPGS ever

[Handsome Jack]

I'll look at a CPP, then.

How is the game itself? Is it fun enough without people to play it with?

I haven't gotten far into it, haven't touched the multiplayer aspect, and still about four hours in. Too early for me to say.

I haven't played Tales of the Abyss but I've heard it's pretty good. I'll look at it, thanks.

its really long tho but its really worth it. the story adn music is just great

[ImAnOKIE12]

So I think it's time for a new game.

I've been thinking between:
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Bioshock Infinite
Maybe Dragons Dogma, still looking into it
NBA 2K13
Fable 2 or 3, my cousin recommended this, plus it's only 3 dollars
Is Minecraft only online? Or an you buy a disc for it?
Can't think if anything else right now.

I haven't played Gen 5 yet and I'm debating between black or white, any suggestions?

Flip a coin.

Is it worth buying Demon Soul before buying Dark Soul or should I just skip Demon Soul and just buy Dark Soul?

[Handsome Jack]

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls aren't connected to each other story-wise, but Dark Souls contains many gameplay elements from its predecessor. However, one can get into Dark Souls without even playing Demon's Souls. Go ahead and buy Demon's Souls if you want; it's a fantastic game, but Dark Souls is pretty much a must for any RPG fan who wants a challenge.

I might get Batman: Arkham City sometime soon. Is the Game of the Year version worth getting, or should I save myself a few pennies and get the standard version?

IMO, the best 3ds games so far are: tales of the abyss, Etrian Odyssey, kingdom hearts and professor Layton.

I got a pre-paid card at gamestop for mineceaft. It cost 20 something, just scratch off the back and put the code on the mojang website and you're good to go.

Should I pick up the Unreal Deal pack off of Steam for ten bucks, with Unreal 1 and 2 and Unreal Tournament GOTY, 2004, and 3, or just buy something off GOG? They're having an FPS sale right now, and the fare includes Serious Sam First and Second Encounter, UT2K4 (which is the main one I was interested in), and the original UT.

[Zazie]

Serious Sam is really fun, so I would recommend picking the games up eventually. But's it's worth mentioning that both game have newer HD remakes, so you might want to look into those before making a decision on whether to pick them up on the GOG sale. (I know the Graphics jump is pretty big, but I think only the original version have a level editor)

As for the rest, I generally would say it's better to go for GOG because the games are DRM free. But the Unreal Deal is saving you boatloads of money, so unless you have major issues with steam' services, I would definitely go for that over GOG.

Ok guys and gals, I'm looking for a couple FPS(first person shooter) games for PS3, I've never really played many before, so I really want to get the better ones.

[*IZ*]

Hey guys what are some good GBA games you recommend me getting? Other than all the obvious Pokemon ones.

Thanks in advance.

Go for Battlefield 3. Truly excellent, and for me it's difficult to go back to CoD after playing it.

I wouldn't mind playing Bioshock Infinite; should I go through and play the first two, or just jump in to Infinite?

I'm a computer science student and I just bought my first proper gaming computer (partly because I needed something more graphically recent/powerful to run my latest graphics assignments, and partly because I felt it was finally time to move from consoles to PC after... recent announcements). I've been a 360 gamer during the last generation, but I'm planning on getting a Steam account and moving to PC wholesale. In thinking about games I'm interested in that I haven't already played on 360, there are three in particular I've decided on looking in to. However, they are all very story/narrative heavy games and I've never played any other games in their respective franchises. Given that, would you recommend any of these games? Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Bioshock Infinite.

Thanks guys.

Buy all of those. They're all great games.

I would not recommend Skyrim or Fallout 3, however, I would recommend BioShock Infinite. Skyrim becomes stale very fast, in my opinion, as well as Fallout 3. It appeals to your inner badass by not making you work for it, for one. For two, lacks depth. Sure, it's a wide-open world with pretty environments, but it's shallow as a puddle. The radiant quests, for example, are either "kill everyone in x area" or "fetch quest". For three, the writing is extremely dull. The writing is your standard high fantasy game, generic villain that you cannot connect with, and a story written by a twelve year old.

...Sorry, I went on a tangent on why I hated Skyrim. Anyway, if you really wanted to play a Fallout game, I would suggest New Vegas. Though it doesn't improve upon Fallout 3 gameplay-wise, it improves upon it character and story-wise.

So not having played 1 or 2, I won't be totally lost in Infinite? Also, since from what I understand Infinite is a prequel, is there a "best order" to play them in if I were to play 1 and 2 also? Like how people come up with preferred orders for the Star Wars movies.

Infinite is not connected to the previous BioShock games storywise. It is only connected to it thematically and gameplay-wise.

Well.

It's complicated.

But no, you wouldn't be lost at all when playing Infinite because you haven't played the other Bioshocks.

Cool, thanks guys.
