Ok let's give this a go, let's see if anyone can recommend me a game.

So I'm looking for a game on either the PS1, PS2 or PS3. Looking for a decent story to get into, something where I will actually care if a character lives or dies. I'm cool with any genre, but when it comes to JRPGs... I'm a bit of a noob. I really hate random battles, and would much prefer to control a single character rather than a party, I get confused pretty easy when it comes to party management. So this is a pretty open field - just looking for a game with a great flowing story & characters I will care about. Before reccomending a game check out my collection to see if I already have it. I'm already planning on playing through MGS3 and 4 even though I don't already own them, so no need to mention those.

Thanks

Edit: Not a lot of money to throw about here, so I'd prefer if it was a PS1 or PS2 game

Thanks, I had that reccomended to me before but turned it down because I just figured it had random battles. I'll have a look. How about the other Persona games, or do they go more into what I'm not looking for?

Ok great, thanks a lot.

Judging from your PS1 list, you've played Resident Evil 1. Do you like Survival Horror games? If so, you should also check out Resident Evil 2 and 3, Dino Crisis 2, Fear Effect 1 and 2, and Silent Hill.

I currently have $40 to spend on games and want to buy 2 PS2 games. I have 3 games in mind, but I can only pick 2 for now. My choices are Shadow of the Colossus, God of War II, and Final Fantasy X. Which 2 should I get?

Well i'm going to geta game in the action adventure genre but I dont know which to get out of those three. What are the pros and cons of Darksiders, Bayonetta, and Dante's Inferno and preferences? Thanks.

BioAssassin

I can only comment on Darksiders, since I've only played that game out of the three. You can read my review if you like, but to summarize, if you're looking for some exciting and deep combat, you'll be disappointed with Darksiders. It has its moments, but for the most part the combat is underutilized. On the other hand, if you're looking for a Zelda-ish game then you'll probably like Darksiders.

I have never played a single RPG. I wanna try one. What would you recommend to me?

PS - Final Fantasy and most other JRPGs don't really interest me much. I've been eyeing up Dragon Age and Oblivion. And will Red Dead Redemption fall into the RPG genre? Thanks.

Weeze_smeeze

Check out Oblivion its a very long game and can last 100+ hours. Its also very fun and the graphics are very good. Not sure about Dragon age though since I haven't brought it yet.

Battlefield B CO 2 or elder scrolls oblivion?

I'm torn between Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur IV, Tekken 6, and Mortal Kombat vs DC. I think I will only have enough money for one, but MAYBE (and that's a big maybe) I will have enough for two. So just recommend what you think is the best overall package fighting game-wise, and then throw in your choice on second best. Please take note that I like all types of fighting games, so wether a game's fighting system is highly complex, or really simple, it doesn't matter to me. Like I said I'm just looking for the best overall package.

I'm looking for some good MMO options other than WOW. I love the game but am ready to try some others. Any suggestions?

I'm also looking for anyone's opinion comparing 3 MMO's:

Everquest II Sentinel's Fate

Eve Online

Final Fantasy XI

If you could buy just one and play it, which would it be?

Looking for an RPG on the PS2 that isn't catered to young people or teenagers. I tried playing FFX, for example, and was turned off by what I thought were incredibly cheesy cut scenes. I heard the target audience of the FF series were teenagers so it didn't surprise me much. Though I'm sure countless people disagree with those comments... perhaps someone can relate and suggest an RPG that I might like.

Super Street Fighter IV is coming out next month, so I would consider getting that game. You get online play, plus there areactive communitieswhere you can improve your game, There's also the massive SSFIV thread in this forum, so check that out.

Zseal

Check out Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and see if that's more to your liking. I would also recommend Persona 4; even though you play the game as high-schoolers, the themes are geared towards a more mature crowd. Basically, these two games don't pull punches.

I haven't played the Shadow Hearts games, but they're supposed to have mature themes too.

Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time - will I like Fallout 3?

I'm concerned about the game being entirely brown, black, and gray like every other game coming out seems to be. Oblivion was colorful, had great music, was funny at times, and had plenty of interesting characters. Without having actually played fallout, I have no idea if it will stack up.

trj156

if you wanna take it from me then NO! oblivion and fallout are 2 completely different games in my opinion. Not when it comes to controllers or the feel of it, but in oblivion ATLEAST YOU GOT A HORSE to take you around, in fallout you spend endless hours just walking in the desert trying to find your way through the story. Ive been playing through oblivion once and started on my second character a few weeks ago. I love the whole feel of the game and i got really disappointed when i checked out fallout. Im not saying its a bad game but if youre into the whole knight feel of oblivion then youll not gonna like fallout 3.

Can anyone give me a few words about these games and it is worth to buy it please.

Ratchet & Clank:I heard that its very good and fun but it look like a game for kid? which one of the serie is best to start on PS3.

Batman: Arkham Asylum:What is the closes game to compare with this one about gameplay?

Rainbow Six Vegas 2:Think this game worth the money if I like shoot like Killzone and MW2?

Time Crisis 4:I always want to try a game that use a gun but it cost about 137,69$ with gun. Is it worth the money?

and the last question can you give me a good racing game?

Gosh, I really like the idea of this thread :D I'm (obviously) keen for something new to play; I'm kinda stuck though. I've been looking at something along the lines Borderlands, Anno 1404 and BF:BCII. Anyway, I was just curious which ones you've enjoyed the most :p Or if you've other recommendations?? Thanks.

How about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl? Theres also it's sequels Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, but Shadow of Chernobyl is a solid choice.
-It's a shooter-RPG, the RPG-esque elements being dealing with equipment (guns, armour, medical supplies, "artifacts", etc.), talking with AI, doing quests; theres not really any leveling mechanics other than getting better equipment.
-Note that the start of the game is hard, because you have cruddy equipment and can die in a few shots due to that. Don't give up on the game because of the first one or two first; it gets easier.

IcyToasters

Hey man, thanks heaps, I really appreciate it :] I'll definitely give it a look (:

I was thinking of gettingSuper Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for the PS3. Just sort of my first fighting game in years.

I know Super Street Fighter 4 is close, but I want to be refreshed on fighting games and maybe just a little nostalgic with Street Fighter 2.

Would you recommend this game?

I'm bored of Call Of Duty....so i'm looking for a new game...a FPS to be exact.

Nothing too crazy....just a simple fun shoot em up game...no stupid puzzles or anything (yeah i'm closed minded).....alone the lines of RE4, 007 Games, Doom, Red Steel (minus swordplay)...I like them simple.

No war or alien games

Anything like that for PS3, PS2, PS1, Wii, Gamecube....? (No Xbox games please...nothing against 360...I just dont have one)

AC is awesome, but the story side is non-existant, still awesome action if ya know what i mean.
