Most the typical Nintendo games are good, but out side those I did like Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear Solid 3 (though MGS is not that different from any other version to be honest)
You can download Demo's free though via the eShop, the Castlevania game looked like it would be very good though it does not have the feel of the PSX Symphony of the Night it was still a good solid play and have yet again recreated Castlevania.
With demo's at least you get to try before you buy, it's just a shame they have a limited number of plays as some demo's do have slight different game play to the final products.
Get yourself a nice flash kit though while your at it and while you still can use them.
I wasn't even aware that roms worked on the 3DS. Or at least you need to be on a lower firmware or something. I dunno how all that works to be quite honest. :wacko:
Anyway thanks for the recommendations so far.
You do need to be on lower firmware, 4.5 IIRC. But holding off on a flashcard till this thing comes out is a good idea:
DS flash kits like the SuperCard DSTWO and 2 or 3 R4 cards work on all firmware versions of the 3DS but the cards will need updating from tome to timeQuote:

There is a list of working kits in the Everything Console section (Just a quick post before heading out, or I would of just linked the thread or given more detail.)
Since I plan on getting a 360 by the end of winter, I figured I would see what I can get on xbl on my laptop, but the problem is, i only have 1180 points with 40 points expired. anyone that frequently uses xbl can tell me what awsome games that i can get for that and are not arcade games? (sorry but i like games that take a while to beat)
They don't use points now.
360 will only have another 3 years iirc.
Only game I can think of is Tales of Vesperia, That's the only game I would get a 360 for :wacko:
Lost Odyssey.Quote:

The Fallout & Elder Scrolls games run pretty well on 360 compared to other platforms. Of course there are only a limited amount of mods you can use, and only if you have JTAG/RGH anyway.
Get a PS3 instead and a year of plus. You'll be in time to grab everything out now and then everything they switch to in the summer in the igc. And you could even grab plus now and have a collection of games by.the time you get the console. Just purchase them on the web store for now on the pc :nod:
PS3 and plus isn't that enticing here really.Quote:

PS+ is $70 for 1 year.
Gold is $80 standard price, but a few places were offering 12+1 months for $50.
PS+ has more free games, but you have to pay for DLC.
360 has some DRM free stuff, so you just buy the dirt cheap standard versions of some games and get the extra content for nothing.
PSN has frequent network errors, and downloads are slow. Plus updates are huge.
Live doesn't have any frequent issues, downloads are fast and I've never seen any downloads fail. The updates are tiny.
This is just for here though, but I just wanted to point out that prices and service quality can vary in places other than NA or Europe.
If you look at the retail price of the PS4 for example; it's cheaper in NA, more expensive here and even more expensive in the UK.
Live, if available in any particular country, is a safer bet when it comes to service quality.
Long term use PS3, saying long term it will be a dead console soon enough as far as new releases go.
Can't claim to of had Network issues on my PS3, but not on it 24/7, downloads come through nice and easy (I am on the EU PSN though, to be exact the UK) except for GTA 5 but that was with every version not just the PS3 version but also the 360 version
Of the few 360 exclusives Lost Odyssey is a great game though, but a massive 4 DVD's.
Not played Tales of Vesperia so can't comment there
Most of the other great games though can be found on the PS3 also.
For older games both consoles have cheapo price tags now
PS3 has PS+ for free content each month, a couple a full Retail games per month plus some PSN games usually
360 has Gold (have started giving out free content but not as much, it is also required to play online content)
PS3 has Blu ray support (more data per disc plus blu ray video play back)
360 has DVD support
4GB 360 is not much good for games that require HDD installs, so if you do go for a 360, get one with a decent sized HDD so all games can be played or buy the drive at the same time
12GB PS3 I would also avoid for the same reason, especially if you go for PS+ (Not sure how much space MG4 takes on a full HDD install)
Overall each system has a nice collection of games though but if it was me I would go for the PS3 instead
Where are you that you are trying to buy a PS3 at those prices. I bought 320 gig for $200 a while back.
I've got a 4GB 360 and a 12GB PS3. :wacko:
But the 360 has a 250GB drive in it now and the PS3 has a 750GB drive. :]
Okay guys and gals, need some help here.
I'm searching for a game with eerie, spooky and twisted feel to it. Not a survival horror. Something like Baroque, McGee's Alice, Evil Twin, Koudelka or first Shadow Hearts. Any platform, except for Xbox, 3DS and Gamecube.
Any requests?
Project Zero or Fatal Frame (there the same game just different regional names) but I guess you can call those survival horror
Platform = PS2 for the first 3 games, 4th is a Wii game that was only released in Japan but has a fan translation, there is also a re-release of one of those on the Wii also.
Can't honestly think of any good ones that are not Survival Horror though, but that may be because I'm a fan of those :P
Hello! I am looking for games with thrilling stories. one that will keep me binded and leave thoughts pacing through my mind about whats going to happen next. I love to get stoned and play retro games on my jtag so if you have a game with a good campaign of either xbox console post it here. :smirk:
Can anyone reccommend some good games that aren't NTSC-U Region? I'm talking about good games in other regions like NTSC-J or PAL. It dosen't matter what system, but anything from NES to PS3 will be fine, including handhelds.
Silent Hills 2, 4 5 and 6Quote:

Project Zero's aka Fatal Frame's 1 and 2 (2 is the better one to play)
Phantasy Star Online (Hacked so you can play it without a live account offline)
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
GTA San Andreas can still hold it's own towards the new ones 4 and 5 as well though
Illbleed<- oops thats a Dreamcast game
The Thing
Have fun with those
No idea if they all work with a jtag or not though
Just look for translated games there are tons of greats there for most 8bit and 16bit systemsQuote:

Can anyone recommend me some chill, yet challenging and fun puzzle or mystery/crime solving games? System: anything 64 bit or lower including handhelds, as my computer is slow.
thx
Can you run Desmume?Quote:

If it's that old it should be running XP...win7 32bit is pretty sad on an old PC.Quote:

And if you're playing games, disconnect your net and shutdown all the progs you don't need running.

A lot of the SCUMMVM games, a lot of crime solving games here (I like the Elvira games myself) you should be good to go with these
SCUMMVM also has games like 7th Guest & Beneath a Steel Sky
PSX you should be ok with if you use some of the older emulators (Not sure how good ePSXe will run on an older setup)
N64 (not even 64bit :P) you will struggle with mostly, some games via certain emulators should run just fine though
Saturn I don't think so, but SSF is worth a try (You may end up using an older version though, but if it works well it is worth using)
GBA SNES and under you are fine
GG Megadrive/Genesis and under you are fine
Sega/Mega CD you should be ok with as well
Sega 32X You might start to struggle with
Sega/Mega CD-32X, I don't think so but worth trying
Can someone recommend a few good RPG's for me to play on the PS1?
I recall we have an old list recommending worthwhile PS1 games. Just skim down to the RPG subsection:
http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...aturn-Games%29
Not exactly an RPG but a must to playQuote:

The GBA ones are good as well
For other RPG's as above, there are plenty to pick from, not that I would class some of the ones there are RPG.
Ones of Note though
Grandia and the 2 Suikoden Games
Parasite Eve though more like cross game a bit like Castlevania, it's more of a Survival Horror game, 3D Action Adventure with RPG stats glued onto it, Vagrent Story is the same but Parasite Eve is much more fun to play
Alas i have Already beat Grandia a few times and have beat all 5 of the Suikodens and i will always love Parasite eve 1 and 2 as well as Vagrent story. altho i have never been a fan of Castlevaina games ( i know gasp worthy) Im looking for more of a Turn based combat RPG.Quote:

FF tactics too!!!
If you can though I would go with the PSP versions of those two
That Castlevania is like no other and even if you despise Castlevania normally it is still worth playing :PQuote:

Beyond the Beyond is a very good game though for the PSX very much classic turn based style RPG, if you played the Shining Force games before (Megadrive to Saturn) then the battle system should feel familiar though Beyond the Beyond in not a strategy battle game RPG like Shining Force is, it's a single party battle system, the entire game even though it's more pure RPG than the cross breaded Shining Force, it does still have a Shining Force feel to it, hard to explain but I'm sure if you have yet to play it you will love it.
Xenogears, is also a great one but I'm going to guess you have already played that one
P.S. Grandia II is my fav of that series of games there are also at least 2 others III and Extreme that are all for the PS2 though (Grandia II is originally a Dreamcast game (best version with reportedly the highest quality FMV scenes) and is also on PC) [PC and PS2 versions use re-sampled FMV with quality loss, not that noticeable though unless you are comparing it]
I have already played All three of those games and have beat all the StarOcean games tho The second story is my fav.Quote:

There are other RPG's you may of missed on the PSX but they are mostly action RPG's (still with stats though) but not turn based
Time to move onto other systems though for you SNES, Sega Megadrive/CD, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast or GameCube/Wii, GBA, PSP
P.S. Final Fantasy 1 & 2 are good on the GBA and PSP adding new content to those extra dungeons in one and extra story in the other, exclusive to GBA and PSP last I checked the PSX versions have those missing
Final Fantasy 4 I think it is has an extra story in the Wiiware version (it is a new game with just that story) and the PSP version that has both the original story and the extra story
Never did like FF3 myself but it was released on a couple of systems, DS is the only one I can think of though off the top of my head but sure it was released on another system, PSP maybe
FFtiktaks I would not count as an RPG though just battle after battle no adventuring between at least none that I could see from the little I played of it, the only game with that type of battles I really enjoyed with no adventuring was Farland Story for the PC98 and the Shining Force series but the Main Shining Force Series does have adventuring between battles even more for Shining Force II and III, the Shining Series also have a good story that you do seem to get into
My friend is going to send me his old xbox 360 he doesn't use anymore so hurrah! I want you guys to recommend games to me which involve AI allies as a feature. I already know about Halo and GoW. No need to mention those too, not battlefield or CoD either please. Everything else I am interested in since I am not familiar with the 360 library. As a general note, the more allies, the better. The smarter they are, also the better.
I am looking to get into some of the RPGs I may of missed over the years and would like some recommendations of where to start. Interested in PS1/PS2/N64/NGC/Saturn/DC/Original XBOX/DS/PSP or even PC. I have played pretty much all the FF games. Not into Phantasy Star or Star Ocean.
Story and Gameplay are what would make me try a game with story being the most important. I have been known to play a game that has terrible gameplay but has a good story.(i.e. The Longest Journey.)
I would also be open to the ones with bad VOs lol The first Resident Evil was just hilarious to me with those VOs.
So please let me know what you all think I should give a shot.
One PS1 RPG in particular that I don't see mentioned too often is Breath Of Fire 3. The story itself is fairly interesting, and the main characters Dragon system is pretty awesome; basically, as you progress you collect various dragon "genes" that you can combine in different combinations to access different dragon forms. Otherwise the combat is your standard turn-based system, but I'd say the characters are varied enough overall to make it worthwhile. I'd also recommend the first game if you're into SNES RPGs at all.
Another decent, probably more discussed RPG is Legend of Dragoon. Again the story is (IMO) interesting enough to keep you engaged, though it takes a bit to really pick up. The combat system is also your standard turn-based system but with a combo system implemented, where you time your button presses to do more damage, and unlock more advanced combos as you progress. The only issue I've had with this is that some combos are a lot harder to pull off than others, and their difficulty doesn't necessarily go easiest-hardest from lower-higher leveled ones. Each character is also associated with one of 7 different elements, where it's split up into three different sets weak against each other (fire & water, earth & wind, light & dark, then thunder which is neutral). I'd say give this one a shot.
I'll definitely be looking into BoF3, that sounds really interesting. As for LoD. Does the combo system compare to the Chrono games? I recently tried CC and I thought the combo system wasn't that good. I know I said I prefer story to gameplay, but that seemed too much like a button masher. I can't stand button mashers lol. (I also always ignored squalls combo's in FFVIII lol)Quote:

And there is also a Koudelka, spiritual predessessor for PS1.
All games(except for a SH3, which is a side story of sorts) are connected, so I recommend playing Koudelka, then Shadow Hearts, and then Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Covenant and Shadow Hearts 3, sadly, took a lighter route - less horror, more humor. And while Covenant still a great and spooky game, the third one got too "light" story- and atmosfere-wise; I think it can't compare to earlier installments of the series.
That sounds pretty good. Except for the QTE's lolQuote:

AI allies? I suppose any of the BioWare games come to mind. and I honestly never would of even considered the games you mentioned lolQuote:
