The Cheshire Cat posted:There's also a bunch of mercenary dudes taking the place of the NK army as human enemies, so it's not quite the boring "Shoot at the big flying alien with a ton of health until it dies" slog that the latter half of Crysis is.  They're extremely vulnerable to FY-71 fire bullets. Even the big fliersThat said, Crysis 2 is way more linear, but it makes up for this with a refinement in the suit controls. You don't need to toggle Speed/Strength anymore, you just have to hold down sprint or jump/melee to engage a Strength-enhanced version. The two modes you can activate are Armor and Cloak. Armor's an actual defense buff instead of just draining your energy, and Cloak's been improved upon - You can fire a few rounds and it'll just use up some of your energy meter rather than decloaking.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:We very specifically need co-op on the same machine, unfortunately. Get Ratchet: Deadlocked (Aka Ratchet: Gladiator in PAL territories). Co-op third-person shooter on the PS2 with unlockable character skins and upgradable (and customizable) weaponry. edit: Honestly, if you want games to play together, you should get an Xbox 360. There's quite a few good games that meet all the criteria for what you want.

VogeGandire posted:Played all of those multiple times, except Fallout, because I'm not a fan of the setting. Thanks for trying though. Crysis, Crysis: Warhead or Crysis 2. All have customization options for your weapons, and your Nanosuit has several mod slots you can switch between (four catagories, one active from each at any time. You have to purchase each through an in-game currency gathered from killing a specific type of enemy though. It's plentiful enough to purchase every possible one by the end of the game though) in Crysis 2. CowboyAndy posted:I've really like The Walking Dead adventure games. Are there any good adventure games out on the Wii or Xbox360? I'm not much into PC gaming. How was the Jurassic Park game Telltale released? I've heard good things about Zack and Wiki on the Wii.

Seemenaked posted:I'm currently at a loss as to what to play next. I've been playing Xcom Enemy Unknown and I love it. Trouble is once you get a handle on making all the countries happy (build loads of satelites) the game is just really easy. I love Xcom but the whole time I was playing it I was thinking 'this would be even better if it was in a fantasy setting' like tactics ogre or final fantasy tactics. Not sure if there are any good looking turn-based strategy games out there though. If you have a PS3, hunt down a copy of Valkyria Chronicles (Or if you have a PSP, Valkyria Chronicles 2). It's a World War 2-esque setting with mild fantasy elements.

Camping.. Intense! posted:I am after a fairly basic Building/Business Simulation type game. I guess something kind of like Rollercoaster Tycoon or Sim City only a little more basic. What i really want is to be able to say start a business completely from scratch and watch as it builds up. Something perfect would be like the old Pizza Tycoon game which was awesome but i cant seem to get to run properly anymore. X-Com: UFO Defense (that's the original 90's game, not the new one) would probably suit you as a strategy game and I think it's on Steam. As to a management game, go get Theme Hospital off of GoG.com.

thexerox123 posted:I'm wondering if anybody can recommend an RPG for Wii or 360 that can satisfy a craving that's been gnawing at me for awhile! (Gamecube or Mac would also be fine.) The Last Story is a great action RPG on the Wii. It's by the original creator of Final Fantasy, and it's basically the Final Fantasy that never was, story-wise. On the gamecube, give Skies of Arcadia Legends or even Lost Kingdoms 2 a try, both are pretty decent JRPG's. If you want to try the Breath of Fire games, BoF4 is the best in the series, but it's on the PS1. Breath of Fire 2's pretty drat good despite an awful translation. edit:VVVVVVV If you're going in SMT games, start with Persona 4, it's moderately fair and a really good game. Nocturne (aka Lucifer's Call if you're in the EU/AU) and Digital Devil Saga are good too, but they are punishing if you try to play through without knowing how to abuse the Press-Turn system with elemental weaknesses.

Moon Man posted:I just finished Xcom and I've beaten Borderlands 1 and 2. I'm looking for a good, action game with or without RPG elements. I'm a PC gamer and I am hoping someone can recommend a "Hidden Gem" game instead of a game everyone has already played. I also, being able to use a controller is preferred but not required. I know, I'm weird like that. Give Binary Domain a try. It's a third-person shooter with mild RPG elements that affect your characters stats in the form of buff items (each character in the squad has a grid you can add and remove various-shaped buff items from like a quicker dodge, extra medkit, or steadier aim).

I recently picked up a PSP because there's a few games I've been interested in (mainly Valkyria Chronicles 2), and was wondering what others might recommend. My current shortlist is the general stuff like Patapon, Locoroco, Star Ocean and Dissidia, mostly looking for any good hidden gems. Also, what's the general consensus on Trails in the Sky? Been looking at it and seems like a good fun JRPG as near as I can tell. edit: VVVVVVV Have a look at Costume Quest or Stacking on Xbox Live. As to retail games, try Rayman Origins and de Blob 2.

VelociBacon posted:Going to post again in this thread as I've found it helpful before. Currently looking for two suggestions, thanks in advance to the helpful goons here. Halo's good for mindless co-op fun (Any of them, but Halo:CE or Reach are probably best). There's also Castle Crashers, Gears of War or Saints Row 2 or 3. Most of those either have stories you can ignore in favour of gameplay (not a slight against them, just saying), or you can play them in bite-sized chunks (like an odd mission or just general co-op mayhem in Saints Row).

MustardMaster posted:I'd want to play a game with a good story. Preferably an RPG, but anything goes really. I've liked the Final Fantasy series, Persona 4, Metal Gear series and Deus Ex:HR. I know about Deadly Premonition, Nier and Silent Hill and have watched LPs of them. The Mass Effect Trilogy's pretty decent overall in terms of story and gameplay. SMT:Digital Devil Saga 1&2 are pretty good as well (they're a paired game with DDS2 starting right at the end of 1). DDS is a little lean on plot (semi-deliberately for overall story reasons, but it's filled with little strange things and hints that point to something greater), however DDS2 really makes up for that. Odin Sphere is a PS2 2D side-scrolling rpg that has a well-written story. It has weirdly long load times between screens, but that's non-existent on the PAL version and the PS3 downloadable version. Rogue Galaxy is a sci-fi action rpg on the PS2 that hits just about every jrpg and general sci-fi cliche it can, but it manages to do so while telling a decent story on its own. It's also choc-full of sidequests and minigames, including a creature battle system using captured insects and an invention minigame that requires you to place the machinery needed to create said inventions within a grid. It's not the greatest game, but it's a really fun one with a pretty solid english dub as well.

Dominoes posted:I'm looking for single-player PC games that have immersive stories and settings. I bought Alan Wake during a Steam Sale months ago, and started playing it a few weeks ago when I was bored, thinking it would be a fun time killer. It turned out to have been one of the best games I've played, and I was surprised I hadn't heard of it before. I'm looking for more games that will give me that feeling. Go to GoG.com and have a look at the WadJet Eye games (Blackwell Bundle, which is four episodic games, Resonance, Gemini Rue and Primordia). They're all point-and-click adventure games with really good plots, and puzzles that are generally logical.

Chas McGill posted:I just got a PS3 - this is my first console since the Dreamcast. Since I have a PC and tend to play a lot of the big multiformat releases on it already, what PS3 exclusives should I look out for? I'm particularly interested in RPGs, since I haven't played any in ages. Ratchet and Clank: Future (It's a trilogy of Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty, and A Crack in Time) The Uncharted trilogy (The first one's okay, but U2 and U3 are far superior and each sequel's mostly stand-alone) 3D Dot Heroes is a self-aware parody of the old 8-bit zelda action rpg's, and is a pretty fun game you can usually get for cheap. Killzone 2&3 are decent FPS games. 2 is mildly average, while 3 is a far better game, but it's a direct continuation of K2. Metal Gear Solid 4 (it has a poo poo-ton of long cutscenes, but it's still fun to play) And Valkyria Chronicles is well worth playing. I've had a lot of fun with that game and highly recommend it. It's one of the games I bought a PS3 for.

If you want another amazing Wii JRPG, go get The Last Story. A general idea of which consoles you have would help a lot with recommending JRPG's though.

BlazinLow305 posted:edit: I am a little bit weird about games. I prefer games that actually let you grind, rather than having like say a limited amount of mobs like Dragon Age. I know that sounds weird, but sometimes I just prefer to mellow out and kill dudes without worrying about advancing through the story, etc which is why I mention something JRPGish. What about Xenoblade: Chronicles? I see a review saying it has MMORPGish combat which I think I'd like since I played WoW forever. I also enjoy combat systems such as Final Fantasy XII and Star Ocean The Second for Ps1. If you want grinding, crafting and a shitload of sidequests, atop a drat good plot, get Xenoblade. A single playthrough ignoring most of the sidequests will set you back 80 hours. Minimum. And there's enough sidequests to easily double that time.

It doesn't help that its on the wii and graphically looks like smeared poo poo. Xenoblade is big. Just saying "five hours" doesn't really tell us anything when it could've easily been spent knocking off sidequests in and around Colony 9. Also, are you using composite or component cables on your Wii? Because those will make a big difference in picture quality.
