Topic: Universal Recommendations Thread

Thanks, but I'll have to go with the 3DS version. Games on my computer never get played on for some reason.

What Warriors game would be the best to go with at this point? I recently got into the series with Strikeforce but I hear it's actually the least Warrior-y of the series.

I ended up with Dynasty Warriors 7 since it was half-off at Gamestop and I had a coupon.

Can anyone reccomend to me any RPG's (JRPG's are what I'm looking for, though others work) on the PS3 for Christmas, Please? Nothing rated M or I cant get it, Thanks.

Valkyria Chronicles
Eternal Sonata
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Folklore
Disgaea 3 and 4

Playstation Network also has plenty of great PS1 JRPGs for download: Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VII and IX, Wild Arms, Grandia, plenty more.

In addition to those Kevoki mentioned: Atelier Rorona/Totori...unfortunately you're missing out on some great games with the M-rating limit, but whatever.

I here Folklore is pretty underrated,

are there any M rated JRPGs?

FInal Fantasy 13 would be the obvious choice. I've also played White Knight Chronicles, which is good, but there is far too much item management in that game for my tastes.

Demon's Souls and Nier.

So i'm about to use the most of my Amazon Prime Trail (thank you kindle Fire) and pick up A new copy of "The World Ends with You" for $12.60.

Okay, so anyone who's played Star Fox 64 3D, would you be compelled to recommend it? It's just under £20 on Amazon, and it seems a fun game. I don't mind its length. Just so long as it seems sturdy and replayable every so often.

The 3DS version looks better, has saves, and it's portable. If that sounds very appealing to you, besides the fact that it's one of the best games ever, then I suggest Picking it up. However, if it doesn't and you have access to the Wii Virtual Console, I suggest going with that version.

Bit trip Saga or Aliens infestation? Both are about $20 on amazon prime. I'm leaning toward Saga as its a Hard ti find game and its a steal at $2o dollars.

Yeah, it's not really a hard choice there, unless you can get Bit Trip Complete for about the same price.

SAGA is amazing, but I would get COMPLETE instead for the same price, like Mickeymac said.

Valkyria Chronicles: I have the second so no need really
Eternal Sonata: Sounds interesting enough. I'll likely get this down the road if I don't get during the holidays
Star Ocean: The Last Hope: See above
Folklore: Not my kind of thing, sorry.
Disgaea 3 and 4: Would I have to play the first 2 or 3 games in order to understand the plot? If so, then no.
Atelier Rorona/Totori: See Eternal Sonata.
Final Fantasy 13: Have it, completed it, thought it was O.K

Yes there is a need? The story is way better in the first one and there are bigger maps to play on.

No, only to get some of the little in-jokes here and there. Really, I suggest going straight for four, forget the others. This one looks the best, has the most refinements to the gameplay, and arguably the best story. You're not missing anything by not playing the others.

Oh, if that's the case then maybe down the line. I already have two likely to be bought used games on my chirstmas list I think I can hold off on what is going to be my case anyway, a prequel.

O.K If That's the case then I'll definitely consider Disgaea 4 as a Christmas gift.

I'm really interested in getting The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Mariokart 7, and Super Mario 3D Land. I only have enough money to buy one.

I just need some opinions of people that might have made this decision before, or people who already have this game and wished they'd have gotten another. Note, that I do not have ANY games specifically made for the 3DS, which is why I'm kind of leaning toward one of the 3DS game right now, yet Skyward Sword is a game that I've been drooling over for such a long time, plus is looks like a freakin' awesme Zelda game. So please, if you could just guide me in some direction so that my decision making process will be a little easier on my brain. Thank you.

mk7 or mk wii or mk ds

I would recommend Mario Kart 7, it's the newest one and the game most people are playing. I haven't played MKWii myself so I can't comment on that, but MKDS is plagued with hackers online, and it has no analog like the 3DS does. Well, you could play it on a 3DS but... um... Well, MK7 is better.
