GGD Game Recommendations Thread - Post 'What Game Should I Get' Questions Here

I just recently played Chrono Trigger, and I really liked how you could see the enemies on the main world and you could choose to approach them or not without randomly encountering them every 5 to 10 steps, are there any other RPG's on any console that have a similar battle system?StuartMcKenzie

The "Tales of" games such as Tales of Symphonia(Gamecube), Tales of Vesperia(Xbox 360), Tales of the Abyss(PS2), Tales of Legendia(PS2) are excellent candidates. Persona 3 and Persona 4 are also excellent titles. Radiata Stories(PS2) is another. Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time(PS2) and the upcoming Star Ocean 4(Xbox 360). Grandia 3(PS2). Final Fantasy XII(PS2). Rouge Galaxy(PS2). Dark Cloud 1 and 2(PS2). Tales of Destiny I and II(PSX). Lunar Silver Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete(PSX). Eternal Sonata(Xbox 360).

Well, there you go. As you can see, there are quite a few titles that support the abiliity to see the enemy and decide whether or not to fight it.

Would anyone here recommend me Tabula Rasa? I've heard "things" about it, but I can't remember if it's good or bad, but I DO know that Richard effin' Garriot made it, so that counts for something, right (even if I've never touched a Richard Garriot game in my life)? Anyway, it was on sale for $10 at a computer shop close to my home and was just wondering if that's a good deal for a sci-fi adventure virgin such as myself.CanadianEh

I would say "yes" if it were under different circumstances.

Tabula Rasa's servers are being shutdown within the next week or so. So basically, it's not worth the purchase.

If the servers were still running, then I would say yes but you may as well not bother.

Which game should i get (put them in order) for PS3?

1-Metal Gear 4

2- Bioshock

3- Battlefield bad company

4*Killzone 2

I'm trying to decide whether to get Street Fighter 4 or Empire: Total war.

I have never owned a fighting game before, but SF4 looks so good i'm tempted to buy it. I haven't got Xbox Live at the moment but since i know this game is alot about the MP i can easily get it. I'm also thinking about getting it to have a game to play with friends. Is there a demo for this on Xbox live?

I've played the E:TW demo and i thought it was really good. I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, but i can survive without it for a while. Maybe SF4 is good enough to get my mind off it? This game is also cheaper than SF4.

Which game would YOU recommend me buying?

If you play a lot by yourself and not with your friends, I'd suggest getting Empire: Total War.

If you play a lot with friends, I'd suggest Street Fighter IV.

Based on what you said, you don't have Xbox Live which leads me to believe you don't play multiplayer a whole lot. I think Empire: Total War is a better choice. As said before, it depends whether you play by yourself or with your friends a lot.

I have briefly played Final Fantasy Tactics(psp) and a Disgaea game (psp), they seem like good games, however, whats stopping me from playing them is that they are very difficult, so could anyone recommend me a tactical rpg that isn't too hard, say.... a tactical rpg for noobs lol. It can be on any system not just psp.

I currenly have Animal Crossing Wild World so is it worth getting Animal Crossing City Folk if you have Animal Crossing Wild World?

I want to get a JRPG for the 360, which should I get?

Tales of Vesperia

Lost Odyssey

Eternal Sonata

I'm looking for a game where you play the Necromancer, much like Diablo 2. I know Fable II has the raise Dead spell. I don't really see that in Oblivion, correct me if I'm wrong but is necromancy available in Oblivion? I know they have Vampires, but. I want a game where you have minions and you're in charge essentially but you can upgrade your minions and wreak havoc etc. I prefer 360 platform.

Gta: Chinatown Wars or Madworld? Been stuck on this for a while and i really need to know why i should get the game i should get.Legendary_Smash

Based off what I seen, Madworld looks to be a very enjoyable game. I don't own a Wii but I have played games like No More Heroes which was developed by the same people who are making MadWorld. Just based off their last game their other game Killer 7, I'd choose Madworld.

As for GTA: Chinatown Wars, I'm a little skepticle of the over head view. I've played the first GTAs on the PSX and it wasn't always that easy to manuaver through traffic and know where you are. I would imagine you'll spend more time viewing the map while driving then the actual environment to get where you want to go in Chinatown Wars.

Madworld is just a sure ticket of enjoyment.... especially for a console that's just begging for a hard core game such as Madworld.

I have briefly played Final Fantasy Tactics(psp) and a Disgaea game (psp), they seem like good games, however, whats stopping me from playing them is that they are very difficult, so could anyone recommend me a tactical rpg that isn't too hard, say.... a tactical rpg for noobs lol.

StuartMcKenzie

Final Fantasy Tactics is pretty well known for being very difficult thanks in part of the enemies leveling up with you.

Jeanne D'Arc(PSP) is a good game that follows the formula of FF: Tactics and I've heard it's a fiarl easy game. Not very complicated like how Disgaea can get sometimes.

Popolocrois is another good(pretty easy) psp title.

Luminous Arc I and II for the DS are fiarly noob friendly.

That should start you off on a good start.

I currenly have Animal Crossing Wild World so is it worth getting Animal Crossing City Folk if you have Animal Crossing Wild World?

Lord_Greatness

No, they're practically the same game. It's not worth it if you have the DS version. Even between the two games, I'd rather play the DS version just because of controls is better with a stylus and the portability.

I'm looking for a game where you play the Necromancer, much like Diablo 2. I know Fable II has the raise Dead spell. I don't really see that in Oblivion, correct me if I'm wrong but is necromancy available in Oblivion? I know they have Vampires, but.

Kibosh23

Oblivion does have necromancy. You can summon skeletons, imps. and a few other creatures. They're fairly handy when distracting enemies from yourself for some breathing room. Can't say if they're effective killing machines.

As for other games...they're aren't that much. I'm not really a PC gamer so I'm sure there may be a few titles I may not be aware of but as for consoles there isn't much to offer for your personal tastes.

I want to get a JRPG for the 360, which should I get?

Tales of Vesperia

Lost Odyssey

Eternal Sonata

-Foobar-

I'd get Lost Odyssey because I find it's story to be much more interesitng and intriguing. I also like my RPGs to have a little more serious overtone. Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata are great games but sometimes the anime/cel shaded graphics put me off. In terms of actual gameplay, Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata a very similar while Lost Odyssey talks the classic turn based battle approach. If you want a more action oriented gameplay then get Tales of Vesperia(I prefer it over Eternal Sonata but that's not to I don't like Eternal Sonata), if you like the turn based combat, get Lost Odyssey.

i'm looking for a kirby game. can anyone reccomend to me a really good 2D kirby, and a good 3D kirby?

i have a wii, a DS, a GBA, a GC, a super nintendo, and an N64.

fire away! please provide reasons. don't just say: 'kirby star stacker', and then not say why.

thanks

Which is the best way to get Let Starwars? The 2 individual games for the PS2, or as the "complete saga" for the 360? Please keep in mind that I don't have an HDTV, so i won't get any graphical benefits on the 360.

Would anyone be kind enough to enlighten me as to what other good DS games make creative (and I stress the word 'creative') use of the stylus other than the following games as follows? Bear in mind these are games I already own.

-Kirby: Canvas Curse

-Brain Age 1 and 2

-Drawn To Life

-Hotel Dusk 215

-Elite Beat Agents

-Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

-Cooking Mama 1 and 2

Thanks in advance.

I've almost finished Dragon Quest VIII and seeing what other great turn-based rpgs are out on ps2. Shadow Hearts: From the New World - good game or something else?

Thanks in advance

so i've never played any resident evils. should i get 5 for my xbox? i'm in dire need of a new game....

BladesOfAthena

Have you tried Phantom Hourglass? It does a really good job of capturing the feel of the old-school Zelda games, all using the touch-screen. If that's not your thang, Rhythm Heaven is coming out. And there's always GTA, too.

Speaking of, I have enough cash to buy either (but not both) GTAIV or GTA Chinatown Wars. Help. I've not played a GTA game since San Andreas and want to get back into the series. Which has the most bang for your buck?

I'd say GTAIV only if you intend on paying extra for the Lost and the Damned, the best value is actually GTA Chinatown Wars, but be warned that the game is isometric style like the first and second...You may not be able to appreciate it for what it is. Both are excellent games, however, so really can't go wrong with either one. GTAIV doesn't offer the same amount of mission variety as GTA San Andreas, and the tale is in some ways less humorous, so take that in mind as well.

I am looking for a good zombie game. I have a GBA, PS2, Gamecube, and thats it.

I already have the timesplitters seris and dark alliance.

ty, but any on the gba? oh and which one is co op?

dinodefender

None of them are co-op that I named, and there are abolutely no zombie games on the GBA, sounds like you're looking for a game like RE5 but there really any on the systems you listed...Sorry pal.

Hi! I am looking for a new game to play. I'd like an original game. By that i mean not a standard rpg where you lvl up a char. during a standard storyline or a fps where you are ought to kill zombies to get to the evil genius who made them. Here are some features I like in a game: - Customization (character, buildings, pets, etc.) - Freedom/ Free roaming - Good storyline - Choices (Good/Evil, etc.) Here is a list of my favorite game (so you can see what I have played) and what I liked about them: - Morrowind (Free roaming, good story, detailed story, freedom, deep) - SW: KOTOR (Story, freedom in actions (good/evil), deep and detailed) - Mass Effect (Story, good combat, customization ( just got it, so haven't played that much)) - Wow (Freedom, mmo, gameplay (combat)) - Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (Alternative gameplay, rpg+puzzle) - Warlords: Battlecry 3 (The only RTS I have managed to play over time, rpg+strategy) - Portal (alternative gameplay, story) The game I am looking for is a game with either a lot of customization or a lot of freedom (or both ). I would also like some alternative combat (or no combat at all). Or it could be just very alternative in some ways, like Uru (I have Uru, but i don't like the puzzles in that game. That goes for Myst as well. And it should be 3D :D ). The story should be (but not has to be) either futuristic or fantasy. I don't like GTA for instance. Now i have asked for a lot, but i hope there are some games out there matching at least one or two of my requests. Any one know of any? Thanks in advance!

Fallout 3 and Bioshock

Hey, I would like to recommend Battlezone. It is truly unique and original game. There is still a big online community and the game is now free to download and free to play online. Check for all the info here.

I've got a craving for an action-rpg. A game that's very action oriented, with RPG elements of stat raising/equipment upgrades.

Similar games, that I already have and would recommend: Diablo II, Ninja Gaiden Black, Crackdown, Devil May Cry (series), Deus Ex (series).

I've got access to Wii and it's virtual console, 360, PS2 and a mid-high range PC.

I was going to write a list of them, but since I didn't remember the name of them all, I started to put them in a pile and by then it was easy to take a picture.

They are in alphabetical order (minus the first Zelda because of the box) so they don't represent what I like the most (It would defeat the propose of asking) I know this means that I like some games more the others but has you can see by the picture I have never played some of these games nor open them.




Any idea of where do I start ?

P.S. I've posted this before but i failed to realise this thread.

Im finally getting that ps3 tonight, im not sure what game to get though, i was thinking mirrors edge, Left 4 Dead, or haze, which one?

Question:

Would you rather buy Crystal Defenders R1 (Wii) and a NES vc game, or

Age of Booty (PS3) and Wild Arms?

Which racing game should I get for the PS3.I have GT5 Prologue already so don't mention that. I don't particularily like realistic games (didn't mind GT5P and don't like PGR). I love Most Wanted. Should I get NFS Undercover, GRID or Midnight Club LA. I'm leaning toward Midnight Club LA.

These recommendation thread all suck. No one EVER responds. Lame.

mentos_eater424

Since you liked NFS Undercover I think your best bet would be Midnight Club LA.

ConkerAndBerri2

Don't get Haze, I can't believe after all the bad press and bad reviews you've even thought about it...Well after realizing that there is no PS3 version (I swear he confused me Rag) of Left 4 Dead, I'd go with Mirror's Edge.

MiguelCar808

You have a ton of great games, and this is usually a place where you ask "What game should I get" rather than "What game should I play"...Play through all of them, close your eyes and start with the first one you randomly pick up.

which is the recent top multiplayer first person shooter game ????????

These recommendation thread all suck. No one EVER responds. Lame.

Conjuration

I think your choices are lame, and therefore I am not able to give you advice...From what I've played Age of Booty seems decent enough, I'd go with the second option if forced I guess.

PS3 - 1. Killzone 2 2. COD: World at War 3.Resistance 2 4. COD: Modern Warfare 5. Bad Company?

360 - 1. COD: World at War 2. Left 4 Dead 3. COD: Modern Warfare 4.Halo 3 (Yes Still) 5. Bad Company?

I've seen Left 4 Dead mentioned as a PS3 game a few times here in a couple different posts, and just wanted to point out that there is no PS3 version of that game.
