Sintown

More people need to play the game Bully (by Rockstar) it is way more unknown than it should be.

Does anybody have any advice on what would be the best Zelda game for a 7-year-old to start with? My son loves Mario, but he has seemed to be getting more into Zelda lately, just talking about it and wanting me to tell him stories. I have played them all, but I grew up on the original and I'm not sure what would be the best game for a kid to start on. It seems like maybe Minish Cap or Link Between Worlds might be good, but my son does not really play the 3DS. Any suggestions?

@Xyphon22 Is there any other systems he own besides the 3ds?

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

@Captain_Toad I own every Zelda game in one form or another. I was just saying that because those two games which seem to me like they might be good for a first Zelda game I only have on the 3DS. Also the GB ones (the two Oracles and Awakening) I only have on the 3DS, too.

@Xyphon22 I would choose Ocarina of Time or minish cap.

Been playing quite a bit of Dauntless since it arrived on PS4. Here at about ten hours in, I haven't seen an opportunity to trap monsters, just slay them outright. And the progression system has the usual pay-to-win mechanics you see with other F2P games. My only complaint are the servers; sometimes it's impossible simply play because servers are full and often times my progression fails to load between missions (setting me back at the tutorial mission) forcing me to log out and log back in...that is...if I can get back in.

Hmm, as a F2P game it's great, but the offline alternatives are still better. Monster Hunter, God Eater, Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars, Toukiden, etc.

@GrailUK
Thank you. 😀
Btw, any website that show me Europe ONLY console / handhelds games since i tried to rely from gamefaqs with their complete library from A to Z but i still found some Europe ONLY games that haven't mentioned from gamefaqs ?
Typically games like that are not so popular games / hidden gems.

@Anti-Matter Try cex.co.uk They tend to have every PS2 UK game lol.

@Ninfan
Okay, thanks for the info.
But for Dance Dance Revolution games (PS2 & PS1) my main focus on Japanese version since they are based on Arcade and USA version for mixture of Arcade + Home console version songs. DDR Europe version (called Dancing Stage 🤨) is my least favourite since they are poor in song list amount and lack of based on Arcade licensed songs.
I usually order them from Ebay.

So, I borrowed Donkey Kong Country Returns from a friend years ago and played it as far as world 8, but didn't quite finish it. I definitely want to buy it for myself at some point but not sure which version to get. Is the Wii or 3DS version better?

And I have the same question about Kirby's Epic Yarn actually. I always wanted to get that game but never did, and I've heard mixed things about the 3DS version. Opinions on that would be appreciated too.

The 3DS version had a few really nice extra levels whilst the Wii had the motion controls. If you can't stand the waving arm gameplay of the Wii era go for he 3DS version.

Thanks, I'll probably go with 3DS then. I don't think I was too bothered by the motion controls before but I'd rather have simple button controls for a fast-paced platformer like this, and having the extra levels would be good. I'm leaning towards 3DS for Kirby's Epic Yarn too unless anyone recommends otherwise, as it has extra modes that aren't in the original.

I don't think I've recommended it before but definitely the Yakuza series, on pc and ps4.

RPGs are awesome, and any of these will be a good option.

I loved RPGs when I was younger (Diablo 1, Heroes of might and magic, swords and sandals, etc) but with time single player games just stopped beign enough to sattisfy me. i need constant fear of dying to another player and losing important items in mmo game
