Iif you want an open, free roaming action (shooter) game, try Far Cry 2. There are no RPG elements to it, but I still found it similar to STALKER games. For me, it's basically an exploration game with some shooting in it. Looks amazing, and runs decent on any newer computer really. I've sunk dozens of hours into that game, just walking around exploring and blowing poo poo up

I am looking for an old fashioned turn-based JRPG with a rewarding combat system. I want to be challenged and forced to use a wide range of abilities instead of just picking Attack or my strongest spell each round. Hopefully the rest of the game is good too. Examples: Mother 3, Dragon Quest 8.

Examples: Mother 3, Dragon Quest 8. If you haven't played Baten Kaitos for Gamecube, that could be right up your alley. The overall structure of the game is pure classic JRPG, and the battle system is creative, fun, and allows for a lot of customization. It's pretty genuinely challenging overall, but the learning curve isn't steep—don't get scared away from the "card game" aspect of it. Items transform over time (milk becomes yogurt, then cheese, then rotten food) and you can use items together in battle to create new ones—it's all rather weird, but I thought it worked well. There are also some really delightfully bizarre bits (like the entirety of Mira, the continent of illusion) that'll appeal to you if you're a fan of Mother. I wouldn't recommend Baten Kaitos: Origins as highly as they drastically changed the battle system, and it feels too shallow, fast-paced, and chaotic.

I've not played a JRPG before and I think I'd like to, but I don't have a console. Can anyone recommend a JRPG I can play on my PC that is rad as all get out? I don't mind outdated graphics but I do have a burning hatred for sticky/clunky/janky/unresponsive interfaces and controls.

There aren't really many PC JRPGs that make it out of Japan. You might want to look into the Ys series if you want something more action-oriented, as some of the more recent entries in that series have unofficial translation patches. I watched a Let's Play of Ys: The Oath in Felghana a while back, and it looked excellent. SCF is a goon who made two reputedly excellent JRPG-styled PC RPGs: Exit Fate and Last Scenario. Exit Fate in particular looks like an unofficial entry in the Suikoden series, and I'm going to give it a try when I have time. Yume Nikki is a Japanese game made using RPG Maker, but it's more an exploration-oriented adventure game than a true RPG. It's a little too sparse (there aren't nearly enough opportunities to interact with the environment), but it's a great game if you like wandering around, and it can be pretty unsettling at times.

I'm looking for a game that has challenge missions similar to the VR missions that were included in Metal Gear:Solid, or Spec Ops mode in CoD:MW2. I'd prefer a first person or third person action game that isn't a puzzler or platformer (like N or something along those lines). Anyone have a suggestion?

I have less than three weeks to increase my knowledge about baseball and American football to a level where my participation in sports-related conversations will be more complex than "I don't give a poo poo about sports," and "I have no idea who/what you are talking about," which is where I'm at right now. I figure the best way for me to get some idea of what is going on is to play video games. So, what would be the best games for me to play in order to increase my knowledge of sports? Baseball knowledge is more urgent, but I will need to be able to talk about football eventually, as well. Ideally, I'm looking for something on PS3 or Xbox 360, although my friend who is in the same situation as me has a Wii, so that could work, too.

It's a "space trading and combat simulation video game" It has a main plot but you can do it at your own pace and I'm pretty sure the entire world is open right off the bat. You can do pretty much whatever you want and the combat is kinda arcadey, for a lack of a better wordIt's really fast paced. You can buy new ships anywhere from fighters to cargo ships and customize their weapons. I believe there's a mod to let you have huge battleships too.

I figure the best way for me to get some idea of what is going on is to play video games. Pretty much any baseball or football game will give you a basic understanding of the sport in question. If you already understand positions and the simplistic side of strategy you might look into MLB Front Office Manager or any Football game that allows you to create fantasy teams and draft players. If you don't understand the scoring you can just read about that poo poo on Wikipedia. If you would rather play an actual sports game to gain a better understanding I think you'd be safe with anything that isn't from the Street or Backyard series. I always enjoyed the 2K games and I think they're usually cheaper than their EA counterparts. There is no NFL game by 2K games since EA got an exclusive NFL license.

Demicol posted:Freelancer If that's not hardcore enough for you, there's also X3:Terran Conflict, the God-Emperor of space combat sims. It's a true sandbox game in that there is virtually no plot and you really need to make one up yourself. You want to set up a trade empire with hundreds of space stations throughout the galaxy? OK, do it. It might take a while, depending on your skill, but you can. Want to embark on a genocidal rage on a particular race. That's cool as well. It's not nearly as arcady as Freelancer, but I think it's more rewarding. It's kinda difficult to get started, but the community here on SA is consistently active and can help you. It runs OK unmodded, but like STALKER, there's lots of options to improve the experience if you want. Can anyone recommend me a game that plays like a single player Settlers of Catan?

I'm looking for more local co-op games to play with the girlfriend. We have a backwards-compatible PS3, so anything PS2/PS3 would be fine. Here's a list of games we worked through/attempted and her general reactions, in no particular order: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2 (loved it) Champions of Norrath (didn't care for it) Cookies and Cream (loved it, although playing it made us hate each other) Army of Two (meh) Lego... whatever (didn't care for it) Rock Band (we still play this) Pixeljunk Monsters (too intimidated to play more than a few minutes) Pixeljunk Shooter (good, but thought it was too short [surprise]) Marvel Ultimate Alliance (didn't care for it) Little Big Planet (loved it) Games I'm considering: Borderlands (still an expensive gamble) Dark Kingdom (even though it's not supposed to be very good) Resistance 1 Resident Evil 5 (probably not: she'd probably panic through the whole thing and give up after one session) I've looked through the list of local co-op PS3 games, but a lot of them have poor reviews and I'd like to hear people's experiences with them (Kane & Lynch, Haze, etc). If it helps, games she enjoyed playing solo include Fallout 3, Oblivion (both in small amounts, as she tends to give up when she can't decide what to do), Katamari, and LocoRoco, Shadow of the Colossus, Zelda series, etc. In that vein, I'll probably pick up Okami at some point.

So I might be getting together with some friends this week to have a LAN party. Can anyone recommend some easy to setup, easy to get into games to play? This is for the PC, of course. We've already considered Borderlands, Killing Floor, Warcraft III custom maps, Diablo II.

CoD2 is the more balanced (and better looking) of the two, and I've never seen any problems getting it up and running on LAN. CoD2 is still my favorite of the series, and for quick LAN play, I think it's easier to get into than the Modern Warfare iterations.

We played the new Mario Bros at a friend's place, and she got frustrated pretty quickly.

It's very fun, with robust AI, and the expansion adds new stuff and multiplayer to boot if you want. Never played Settlers of Catan, but this seems like a similar, more in-depth kind of game. It's more of a city-builder than a grand strategy, but has lots of resource management and strategic planning against fairly robust AI opponents who try to out-colonize you and sometimes invade you. Alternately, the Civ offshoot Colonization series might be similar, but it's not quite the same thing either. Also apparently they're working on a Facebook port. VVV Hex board game adaptation is a pretty niche genre in computer gaming. There's still going to be games like it, at least in spirit.

I just had the very great pleasure of actually finishing Ys: The Oath in Felghana. It's a really excellent action RPG dungeon crawler with an oldschool aesthetic (fire caves, ice mountains!) but a modern fluid beat-em-up gameplay style. The bosses are also hard as balls, you have to really figure out what their patterns are before you have a chance of killing them, which is pretty refreshing compared to the more accessible games of today. I honestly really recommend it to anyone, it's a great loving game, and it's an old PC game so you don't really have an excuse not to. Anyway now I have an appetite for classic action RPGs. What are some other great ones in this vein? Some of my other favorites include the entire Soul Blazer series (especially Terranigma, but I like them all), Alundra, Okami, Secret of Mana, Fable, the Kingdom Hearts games (almost too anime, but the combat is fun enough I don't care), and I'm sure there's more that I can't think of. Hack and slash games are preferable over stuff like Mass Effect 2. Dungeon puzzles are always a plus, but not a necessity. I can only play PC games and stuff that's emulatable on one, so if you're gonna recommend a console game, nothing much more advanced than the PS2 era (and even that really strains my laptop). I recently got Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain for the original PSX because someone recommended it to me as a good action rpg, hopefully it delivers.

If you can get ahold of a copy, you'd probably really enjoy Ys Origin. I believe it was released in 2006. There was never an English release as far as I know, but there are patches available. I barreled through it without a patch and managed to do just fine, though I'm sure I missed a few things. It's probably prohibitively expensive at this point, but it's a drat fun game.

I'm looking for good, simple brawlers; something I can just get my rage on with and slaughter dozens of baddies. Here's a short list of games I've played that fit into the kind of stuff I'm interested in: God Hand God of War Golden Axe Streets of Rage Gungrave Prototype Splatterhouse I'm looking for both new and old, from 16-bit to the modern era, all suggestions welcome. I'm not so interested in arcade-specific titles because MAME is a pain in the arse or more complex brawlers like DMC and Viewtiful Joe.

Just non stop killing. I don't know if you think it's too complex or something, but you have God of war and God Hand up there so I don't know why you'd think they were, but both Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta are fantastic action/beat 'em ups. Shinobi for the PS2 is pretty good as well, kind of reminds me of a cross between Ninja Gaiden and Gungrave.

Which is generally considered the best entries in the series? I'm a big Ninja Gaiden fan, and I've been considering picking up Shinobi as well, although the constant health drain kind of intimidates me. I have yet to play Bayonetta but it's definitely on my to-buy list at some point.

Greetings folk. Anyone know of any turn based strategy games that are in the style of the Advance Wars series, in terms of gameplay? I'm specifically looking for that slightly chess-esque vibe Advance Wars has, where you can really sit down and "hmmmmmmmmmm" it up. I swear I got through about six chewed styluses on my DS Lite with those games. Love 'em.

You really can't go wrong with 3-5 though, I loved each one and played each one to death. Mass slaughtering groups of enemies, defeating bosses for progressive power-ups and upgrades, overall map tactics and your actions influencing the tide of the battle, it really has everything. Remember, do not pursue Lu Bu. Also, I am in the market for a new PC RPG. I just finished Mass Effect 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. I've played all the older classics like Planescape, BG1&2, Icewind Dale, and the like. Surely there is some newish RPG (preferably high fantasy, but whatever works) I am totally overlooking, I'd love some suggestions. Tactical RPGs, FPS RPGs, and standard adventure=type RPGs are all great, I'm not picky. Gazmachine posted:Greetings folk.

Battles are turn-based on a hexagonal grid, where you throw your five stacks of units against however many baddies, plus you get a pet dragon that can wreak havoc. It's an above-average game and quite lengthy, and I know there are demos available. There was also a standalone expansion released entitled King's Bounty: Armored Princess.

The Fire Emblem series I've heard described as being basically Advance Wars as a strategy RPG, so that might be your best bet. Final Fantasy Tactics and its ilk are great, but they're decidedly not chesslike—unlike most strategy RPGs, they don't have separate turns for the player and enemy, but each individual unit has a turn based on that unit's speed.

Ylide posted:I played through KB as each class, I'm very familiar. Two fairly recent RPG games that you might want to check out is Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, and Risen. Divinity 2 you start off as a dragon slayer, and eventually you turn into a dragon (don't worry, I'm not spoiling anything). The game has lots to do in it, is pretty big, plenty of places to explore and tons of quests. The biggest drawback to it though is that the difficulty is all over the place. You can be running through a dungeon getting the poo poo kicked out of you, abusing AI and line of sight, and then two pulls later you'll start destroying everything because you found an awesome axe. Then ten minutes later you're dying again. Risen is from the makers of Gothic 1 & 2. You're on an island that's of a fairly decent size, and you'll choose what class you want to be by joining with certain groups. The combat takes some getting used to, but is rewarding. You can take on monsters much stronger then you, but it'll be hard, and will take forever. The difficulty of this game isn't as all over the place as Draconis, but there is a certain spot in the game where it just skyrockets and if you haven't built your character right, will make it really really hard. I had to restart three times because I hosed up my character and just wasn't happy with what was going on. I also suck at games, so you're mileage may vary. Personally, I enjoyed Risen more, but I think both might be worth checking out to scratch that RPG itch.

I found them to be enjoyable although they're probably one time plays unless you really like to play the same levels more than once. Gamestop has them listed for $3.99 and $5.99 used which I would say is worth the price. I paid that much to rent em when they first came out.

I'm looking for a 360 game for my girlfriend. She likes The Sims, puzzle games like Luxor, The Movies and other "light-hearted" arcady stuff (I know, the usual stereotype). She won't play Lego games with me, nor Medal of Honor. She's been talking about maybe getting some kind of JRPG, although I suspect she wouldn't like it too heavy on stats and other technical boring crap. Is there anything for her? I bet someone else has been in the same situation.

It's not quite a puzzle game but it's certainly not just a platformer. Lumines is a puzzle game similar to Tetris with different mechanics. Those are the only two I own or have played that I know of for the 360 but I'd bet there are a few others on Live Arcade that might fit the bill.

Here's a short list of games I've played that fit into the kind of stuff I'm interested in: Crimson Sea 2 (The first one is a Xbox exclusive, though it has a nice feature where you can talk to an NPC and recap the story of the first game trough cinematics) You very much choose a mission, if its not something very spefic you just go in and kill tons of monsters. It also has an uprade system where the enemies drop gem-like stuff you can use to upgrade your weapons(I think theres only one or two, but there's two characters). I picked it up used at Gamestop about 3 years ago without any knowledge beforehand and it was a very entertaining game.
