VSigma100 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I noticed there wasn't a recommendation thread for games that people recommend others buy. So I thought I'd start one for anyone looking to add to their collection. I personally play almost any genre of games, and can play Wii, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Dreamcast, and PC. I'm also always looking to add new systems to my collection as well. So yeah recommend away, or ask for recommendations. Figured this could be a useful topic for some!

TCP Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 My PSP recommendation:Dissidia 012Seriously. It's the best Final Fantasy game. Crisis Core is also good but I never played all the way through it... I keep hoping it'll arrive digitally on the PSN. One day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSigma100 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'll have to check out Dissidia 012 and Crisis Core then! Also with Dissidia 012 do I need to play the first before it to understand the story? Or are the stories unconnected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Gravity Rush. Everyone should play Gravity Rush. If you don't have a Vita get one and play Gravity Rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Dwarf fortress. If you like, you are more than human, perhaps godlike. If you dislike it, well, I'm sure there's some benefit to going through life with a bottom quintile IQ and the imagination of a moldy dish rag. Edited October 10, 2013 by Mr. GOH!

Also with Dissidia 012 do I need to play the first before it to understand the story? Or are the stories unconnected? Actually, Dissidia 012 is a prequel but after you beat the game you unlock the original game, effectively making the original Dissidia unnecessary! Don't expect it to be Square Enix Smash Bros or something, the fighting system is complicated but once you wrap your head around it, it's fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just saved me some money because I was planning on getting both if I had to play Dissidia first. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Oh, right. I knew I vaguely remembered a thread like this. I'm using it backwards, though. Looking for recommendations rather than making one. I was gonna make this a status update but it got kinda wordy. So, I'm looking to pick up a handheld on black friday and would really appreciate the input of those of you that already own them.Personally, I kinda want the Vita more, purely out of personal preference. But the 3DS seems to have a higher number of interesting games right now, including a bunch of DS games I never got around to getting as well as a small stack I kept when I sold my DS (I just couldn't bring myself to sell the Ace Attorney games). Then again, I also have a few PSP games I got off PSN that I never got around to playing either. Ultimately, I want both systems. So this is more of a "which one should I get now" kinda deal. The deals I've found, assuming they don't sell out in seconds and I can actually grab one, are: The 3DS XL for 150$. No bundle or anything, so I'd have to get a game separately. If I can't get a deal on Vita at all, I'll probably instabuy this simply because of how much cheaper it is. Vita for 180$. I think I'll have to grab the Walking Dead bundle here, which I don't really care for since I already played it on PC and have no interest in replaying it. I really wish they still had that bundle that came with a free year of PS+. Or just one with no game and a bigger memory card. Anyway, EBGames.ca is giving a free copy of Uncharted: Golden Abyss along with it. Seems like a good deal but I was going to get PS+ anyway, specifically because of Uncharted and Gravity Rush both being in the instant games collection. So I don't know anymore... The 3DS seems like the better deal but I keep going back and forth on which one I should get. Got until tomorrow midnight to make up my mind as that's when the deals go live and I suspect they're going to sell out fairly quickly.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Are you one of our PS4 brethren? If so definitely Vita, remote play is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nah, and I don't really plan on getting one anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 My nephew asked for a 'Car sim' for Christmas. I assume he played Forza or Gran Turismo at a friends place; but I got this information from my mom who got it from my sister and there's too many degrees of separation between us to find out exactly what he wants. I grabbed him a racing wheel and I was gonna pick him up a racing game on steam when the winter sale starts. Problem is, my sisters computer is pretty shitty. I don't have exact specs, but I need an idea for a decent racing game that will run on pretty much anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 A TrackMania game might work. Hell, one of them is even free and that one should at least work. You could also throw him Midnight Club 2 which is pretty dated but at least that should work with your sister's computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 He's like, 8 or 9 years old now. If I'm not mistaken; Midnight Club has a colourful cast of characters; doesn't it? I haven't played in forever but I'll have to double check that it's age appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
