The all encompassing "Suggest a game!" thread.

So I caved and got myself a 3DS XL. In other words, recommend me some 3DS games please.

Oh and I don't care about Pokemans, so don't bother mentioning that. Anything else is fair game.

I couldn't remember the name of it, so I just wrote "3ds boobs" into google and found it instantly It doesn't have a physical release, e-shop only...

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.

Anyway thanks for the recommendations so far.

[Ragnar]

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 time

I was not talking about any 3DS kits

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)

[deadlegion]

They don't use points now.
360 will only have another 3 years iirc.

[Warrior]

Only game I can think of is Tales of Vesperia, That's the only game I would get a 360 for

Lost Odyssey.


Edit: and if you don't play PC games:
The Witcher 2 enhanced edition.
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

PS3 and plus isn't that enticing here really.
4GB 360 was $80, and the 320GB HDD was around $50 in the end of year sales.
12GB PS3 was around $140.

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.

[Zorlon]

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

[Chie]

Where are you that you are trying to buy a PS3 at those prices. I bought 320 gig for $200 a while back.

[Inferno.]

I've got a 4GB 360 and a 12GB PS3.

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?
