KevinthePRF Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 For posting your profile and suggesting games accordingly. Profile: Been a casual gamer for approximately 20 yrs. I primarily look for a good story. Outside of football, games without a good story bore me. I only play FPS occasionally as they make me queasy sometimes When I play a game I usually play only on easy or normal. Playing on hard or harder usually loses my interest as I don't like dying 100 times to get by one level. With that I have never, nor have any interest in multiplayer. I think the only game I ever enjoyed multiplayer is tecmo bowl, but even then I was a teenager. I have owned a NES, Nintendo 64, Xbox, and Gamecube. I presently own a PS3. My top 5 games all time, in order: 1. Knights of the Old Republic 2. Resident Evil 4 3. Orcina of Time 4. Xwing Alliance 5. Super Tecmo Bowl My present inventory, favorite to least favorite: Arkham Asylum / 10 Uncharted 2 / 10 GTA 4 / 9.5 Dead Space / 9.0 MGS4 / 9.0 God of War 1 and 2 / 9.0 Red Dead Redemption / 8.5 God of War 3 / 8.5 Chronicles of Riddick / 8.0 Madden 11 / 8.0 Dead Space 2 / 8.0 Modern Warfare 2 / 7.5 Ninja Gaiden Black / 7.5 Force Unleashed / 7.0 Resident Evil 5 / 5.0 Ghostbusters / 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Check out Dragon Age Origins. Get the Ultimate Edition. It is my first time playing a RPG. I was really hesitant in getting it, but I am glad I did. Since X-Mas, I have put about 80 hours into it, and I am not even done with my first play through. There is so much variety in the game.

Skins_Fan82 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 If you want to try an RPG, try Fallout 3 (takes place in DC) or Fallout: New Vegas. Both great games. The Fallout series games are the most intricate and in depth games i've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 HelloKitty Island Adventure is always a blasty-blast. Try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afkidd Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 stay away from wow. the game isn't all that bad (even though it has dropped off immensely since TBC), but the community is horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 will fulfill every one of your requirements. They are like updated, non-Star Wars KOTOR games...with JUST as deep a backstory/expanded universe. And that's not really an understatement. Amazing story/gameplay. I would recommend playing a character with with powers, though, otherwise, its like an FPS RPG. Still amazing, and the gameplay is sick, but its just better when you can do Jedi-like things haha.

frostyj Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 If I didn't like Fallout, think I would like Mass Effect or Dragon Age? I played a little of DA II demo, it seems good. But then I don't want to waste money like I did with Fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The first Mass Effect isn't on the PS3 (the OP's system). Personally that has actually stopped me from getting ME2, which is. Everyone I've talked to has told me that playing the first one isn't completely necessary but it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I don't want to waste money like I did with Fallout. I did not like Fallout either, but love Dragon Age. Check out videos on YouTube. Dragon Age is not the pretiest game, but it is certainly fun and addicting. I have not played ME yet, but will soon. Also, DAII has way better graphics than DA Origins. But, the story in Origins is great. The demo gameplay was very shallow compared to what you can actually do in the game. Also, to the OP. I have not tried these, but how about Castlevania and Darksiders? I have read good things on message boards about Darksiders and just bought it for $10 on eBay plus shipping. Everything I read say it is a cross between God of War and Zelda. I heard Castlevania was very God of Warish also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyUtah Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 No offense to anyone that liked it, but i hated Heavy Rain. I thought it was pretty boring frankly and involed entirely too much quicktime. In any case, i respect the opinions of others, just wasn't my thing. I would recommend you check out Assassin's Creed 2 or Brotherhood. They both have highly immersive stories, you are able to explore at will, and it's not terribly difficult at all. I thought they were both a ton of fun. zzNs4-kRLaE Here is actual gameplay. Plus, you can get them for cheap at Gamestop. PLKDrOrW3Pk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdrums Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Get on Bad Company 2 if you want a FPS. I've played (and will continue playing) every FPS on the market, but none have held a candle to BC2. I'm worried that I'm gonna even hate Crysis 2. I haven't even started the single player on AC Brotherhood, I like BC2 so much. I'm 10 minutes in to God of War III because I can't stop playing BC2. I haven't even started Demon Souls (which you should check out, based on your likes -- supposedly one of the best RPGs ever). Dante's Inferno is collecting dust. So is Bayonetta. As far as Heavy Rain, don't buy it. Rent it and play it without going back at all. Do not play it as you would a normal game -- if something "bad" happens, keep going. I did this and can honestly say that Heavy Rain was the most rewarding single player game I've ever played, hands down. I wouldn't recommend replaying to get the alternate endings, though, because the experience wouldn't be anywhere near as rewarding the second time. Just youtube them after you've finished.

BigMike21 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Heavy Rain isn't for all I guess, it can be more of a movie than a game. The Assassins Creed series is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyUtah Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Heavy Rain isn't for all I guess, it can be more of a movie than a game. The Assassins Creed series is awesome. Exactly! I fully appreciated what they were doing and it was innovative. However, I didn't really feel like I was playing a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ugh I hated Assassins Creed. One of the most overrated games ever imo. And I normally like games like that. It was just so damn repetitive. I never played the second one but I didn't read anything that said it was any different than the first. How about inFamous?

It's not as bad as the first. I'm interested in Infamous as well. I never played it and I know a sequel is coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 inFamous is ****ing awesome. Seriously check it out if you haven't already. I had so much fun with that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdrums Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I own Infamous...not sure what I'm missing. Same with Arkham Asylum. I was bored in less than an hour with both . Seriously, do they get better after an hour or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Never played Arkham Asylum. And inFamous was so long ago I don't remember if it started slow or what. I just remember playing it for like 5 hours at a time and loving every minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyUtah Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 yeah inFamous was outstanding. the first AC was ****ty. The 2nd and 3rd ones rocked. Borderlands is another one of my recent favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
