PGD Recommendation Thread - Post "What game do I buy?" questions here!

Is it worth buying the original guild wars, is there really that many people playing, expected server lifespan after GW2 etc. Or just wait for Guild Wars 2, anybody have a guess as to when it could be released? Another note is I have a low budget and I'm interested in Crysis 2 and Skyrim.

Is there a newer game like Pirates of the Caribbean or Sea Dogs?

On a similar note: if I got either of those games, would I be able to run them on Windows 7?

Hi guys,

I have a couple of pounds to spend but I can buy only one game...

one of those:

Brink

Homefront

'maybe' Crysis 2

which one will you pick and why?

what are the pros and cons of each one??

Thanks You Very Much

Brink is terrible. Lots of good ideas totally wasted. It should be a bargain-bin game sooner rather than later.

Homefront is good, but not great. It doesn't stand out in a crowded genre due to a mediocre campaign and unbalanced multiplayer, though the multiplayer is actually pretty great on the maps where snipers can't dominate. Suprised we haven't seen some price cuts on this one yet.

Crysis 2 is the best of this bunch. The campaign is about as long as you'll find for a shooter that also offers a quality multiplayer experience.

JediXMan7

^ Anyone?

CoD: black ops or red faction: armageddon wich one would be more worth the money?

I love Castlevania, especially the NES and SNES ones and Symphony of the Night, but, they get kinda old when you beat them over and over again, and I was wondering witch one I should get, I was thinking about Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP but on the other hand side I have portrait of ruin for the DS and Lords of Shadows for PS3 and Xbox360, so I am asking you guys, witch one should I get?

Xbox 360 RPG question:

Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga

or

Risen AND Two Worlds?

I can get Risen and Two Worlds together for the same price Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga. Which should I go for? And I know they all have their flaws, but I'm sure I won't mind that (and I've played the "best" RPG's out there).

I want to get either Killzone 2 or Bioshock. Please help me decide which one.Weenski

I've played both and I would get Bioshock every time. In my opinion, Killzone 2 is a good/great FPS, but Bioshock is a brilliant experience, so atmospheric, weird and wonderful, and fun.

Edit: Another example of how much I love one more than the other - I played Killzone 2 once, and enjoyed it, then traded it in. I still own Bioshock, and I've played it twice - once it's own, then a second time with Bioshock 2 straight after - and I will no doubt play it a third time when I play Bioshock 1, Bioshock 2, and then Bioshock Infinite. It's just one of those brilliant games that stays with you.

I really enjoyed the DS castlevanias.

Borderlands is a good game. It doesn't have different endings, but it's more fun just to wander around than to do the story. However, the story is also very good. You can pick between 4 different classes, too. You could try fallout 3 or new vegas. Fallout 3 is more fun, though. You can level up and spent experience points on different calsses. The classes are small guns, medecine, large guns, mele weapons, etc. Those are some games that sound like what you want.

I am starting to get a little bored of video games because the best games are on the PS3, and I only have the xbox 360! So I was wondering if there are any games like the Resistance series for the xbox 360. Resistance is a PS3 exclusive, and like I said, I don't have a PS3. So, what are xbox 360 games like the Resistance series? Don't say Halo. Oh, and don't say Metro 2033. Thanks!

Me and my girlfriend are a little bored of our game collection and need some recommendations. What we're looking for is really a few games with good replay value and preferably co op too. (NOT ONLINE). By replay value I mean with various endings, new weapons after each play through, different ways to play (eg, different classes to choose) and sorts. Some examples being: Parasite Eve 2 MGS Resident Evil Silent Hill Fable Series Final Fantasy.. We already have all these and yes we know most are single player but they are just some suggestions. What we don't want are games that the replay is purely online play. Nor do we want sports games. I don't care for Oblivion, I have it on pc and got very bored very quickly, however I do like RPGs in general. Just Oblivion bored me. We don't mind FPS but don't suggest COD or BF2 cause the replay really is only online. We have PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 so all game suggestions are welcome. ThanksBlindlikeme

You guys would have a good time playing Dungeon Seige III and can replay with the different charcters. The couch co-op on this game is pretty great.

I would allso suggest Tales of the Abyss (PS2), Tales of Vesperia (360), and Eternal Sonata (360). These jRPGs are single player like Final Fantasy, except the battles are more real time and allow more than one layer to participate. I have a great time playing these games through all the way with someone else since they can participate in the battles. Their replay value may not be as great, but I think this is a nice way to go.

Also would reccoment X-Men Legends and X-Men Legends II, and if you really like those then probably Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Marvel Ulitmate Alliance 2.

I have a choice between two DLCs- RDR's Undead Nightmare or AC:B's Da Vinci Disappearance? Both $10 on PSN. Which offers more for its value?

from what I understand, Undead Nightmare offers alot more in terms of bang for your buck. I have played it and it was very fun, although post game there isn't a ton to do when you're waiting for zombie attacks.

I am also looking for a post-apoptolyptic game. I want one that kind of uses RPG elements. Even if it's a small amout of RPG. Don't list the games below.

Fallout series

Rage

Left 4 Dead series

I have no idea aside from those games. If you have a PC, perhaps try the STALKER games? Haven't played them but heard great things about them, and I've heard that Shadow of Chernobyl is amazing. Also, the upcoming Dead Island also looks very good.

superbeast101 asks: Does anyone know of a creepy game for PC, I have played the dead spaces the fears and bioshocks. If they are new that is preferable but not a must.

I'd suggest Amnesia, Penumbra, The Void, and if you don't mind a somewhat older game (still an absolute cIassic), the PC version of Silent Hill 2.

YouVandal3 asks: Ok... I have heard FOREVER about these Yakuza games... I looked at one at the store today and seems cool. Im not one whos into those anime like games which is what i kinda anticipated it to be but from the looks its not at all!

I really like all types of genres like adventure FPS Horror survival puzzle and what not, is Yakuza 3 any good??? And what about Yakuza 4???

Would it be ok to play 4 before 3???

what kind of game is this exactly that i might be getting myself into??

Yakuza's sort of like a beat-em-up with lite RPG elements. Pretty much any Yakuza game after the first one is good. The combat isn't quite as deep as God Hand, but there's interactive enrivonments you can use in combat. Bicycles, pilons, railings... I remember Yakuza 2 also having PLYERS as a weapon, and its 'special move' was PUTTING AN ENEMY IN A CHOKE-HOLD AND YANKING OUT ONE OF THEIR TEETH. Overall, picture The Warriors but without random mugging/ radio-stealing/ robbing, a bit more depth to the combat, and a strong sense of compelling storytelling.

Hey i need some games for Wii worth buying.. i dont care about genre ive played every kind of genre there is and i love them...mostly. PLEASE NO GAMES THAT ARE COMPILED OF A BUNCH OF MINI-GAMES Example: Carnival games for wiiShadowsGameTime

My #1 favorite Wii game would have to be Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. I paid $50 for it on release, and have replayed it at least 10-12 times now. Hardcore and satisfying, especially on hard mode. At the current price of $20, there's no reason to not own this game, unless you don't dig a cIassic hard-but-fair challenge.

Sorry. I would have posted all quotes in QUOTE tags but the first two kept glitching on me despite being perfectly enclosed in tags. What a horrible, broken tagging system these forums have...

[QUOTE="Calvin079"]

[QUOTE="KeredsBlaze"] well what have you played, bc without any info, I would tell you Mass Effect series or Dragon Age Origins ------------On a side note, does anyone know any good party games for the Wii besides Wii sports or sports resort??pills4louis

Ok well I own literally around 70 RPGS for the PS2 and have only played around 12 of them. I just finished XIII on the 360 and I dare say I loved it.
But I have no clue which game to play next? I have a couple of more RPGs on the 360 (The Last Remnant, and Infinite Undiscovery)
I don't only have to play RPGs, it really doesn't matter. But I love games with a good story. I haven't played any Tales games and I own Legendia and Abyss on PS2.
I just need suggestions on what to play. Thanks.:)

Edit: Maybe even the Silent Hill games? I have all of those, too. I'm pretty stocked on my PS2.

Also never played Assassins Creed. But I'd like to stick to some games I already have considering I am about to buy a PS3 and need to save.

Do you gus know any good RPG shooters? I want a game like borderlands or fallout. But don't say those. Also, don't say Mass Effect. Thanks!

the Knights of the Old Republic games are great.

The Knights of the Old Republic games are absolutely fantastic. I've played through those games more times than any other.

[QUOTE="73X"]

Hello all,

I'll be buying a DSi later this week and I'd like help picking one of the following RPGs to break it in with: Chrono Trigger, The World Ends With You, or Final Fantasy IV. Any response will be greatly appreciated.
