I'm almost ashamed to admit this but i have never played SoTC. Kinda wierd calling a game great which i've never touched great but the general concensus is this was one of the big ones that i just missed :(. Come to think of it i never played ICO either so maybe that's why i never gave SoTC a chance. What is it about this game that makes it so great anyways? What am i missing? I've been having think itch to play older games lately b/c the new ones just dont seem to interest me atm so maybe i'll go pick this one up.

What you you guys, any great past/present titles you feel you missed out on??

Probably Fable or Mass Effect. I don't really care too much because RPG's aren't my favorite type of game, but I heard there were a lot of fun.

Well, for the PS3 I've never played Uncharted, MGS4, Disgaea 3 (all the Disgaeas actually), and Folklore. I'd really like to get my hands on Folklore the most out of those.

It's not impossible. Say for instance if the game wins several awards, nominated for GOTY, receive many high reviews , or universally praised by all on a gaming forum such as this one, i'd assume it'd be safe to call a game great. SoTC and Valkyria Chronicles are two just off the top of my head. I know i havent played it but i'm confident that the gaming community will agree with me on this one, unless it's your assertion that SoTC isnt a great game?

It's all opinions .. what if yours differs? And you don't think they are 'great' ..

Meh, I'm just going off of reviews and member reviews/impressions. I could very well end up hating the games, but they are still considered "great" by the community.

If you dont mind doing a bit of retro gaming, i'd recommend going as far back as FF6. That was the first one i played back on snes that got me hooked, ah great memories. Any how, turn base classic rpg is a completely different beast than mgs obviously but the story telling in both series is epic so if you're a story driven gamer, i'm sure it'll suck you in.

I've heard some great things about Heavenly Sword, so that's probably first on the list. I try to get my hands on all of the "great" games one way or another so I can find out for myself. This game however, has remained at such a high price tag that I refuse until it's dropped.

Ummm, no, as a matter of fact it wasn't. Edge and IGN were the toughest on it, but it's got mostly favorable reviews. And something that takes even more precedent is, I was told it was good by friends. People with taste in common with my own.

I just played through Resident Evil 4 on my Wii. I'm on my second playthrough now. If you don't own a Wii, then get it for PS2 and play it(since I'm on a PS3 board), if your PS3 is BC then get it and play it NOW. NO EXCUSES!!!! A must play.

For those of you who have not played Valkyria Chronicles...I feel for you. I HATED!!! the demo but LOVE!!! the game. DO NOT judge the game by the demo. If you even remotely like the demo, you'll love the game to pieces. The leveling, the story, the individuals that you get to have. I WILL restart my mission if Jann dies. I absolutely love it when I have Jann and Largo on the field at the same time. The individual characters and gameplay are ADDICTIVE.

Don't miss out on VC. A great game that came out at a bad time. It's a game to pick up now and see what you've missed.

I played the first Resident Evil, but I just couldn't get into the rest of the series. The controls drove me absolutely nuts. I hear they are all great though?

How many awards its won is irrelevant and completely beside the point. You cannot personally tell if a game is great if you've yet to play it.

Suikoden II. I loved the first one, but never had a chance to pick up the second one due lack of funds back then. All my friends that played it have said it was the best Suikoden to come out. Unfortunately, unless it gets re-released, I won't have a chance to play it anytime soon because I'm not willing to pay $100 for a used ps1 game. I guess there are "other" means of getting it.

Funny i dont recall saying "great" by my personal standards. You must have assumed that and you know what they say when you assume. Now if you want to continue being argumentative, then i'll start a new thread about how you can/cant tell if a game is great without playing it just for you. Otherwise contribute to this thread ike everyone else ;)

Your going to have to get over your superiority complex, and realize that its hypothetical. Games that are supposedly great that you've yet to experience for yourself. Jesus...

Just played SOTC for the first time two weeks ago. It is in my opinion a masterpiece. I also just played through the Silent Hill series for the first time as well. I really liked the 2nd and 3rd ones. ICO would be one I haven't played that I'd like to get to. Oh and God of War 2.

MGS4 .. I'm going to get it and see what the fuss is about. Never played the previous versions either.
