💻Recommendations for an old console gamer💻
Forums › General Discussion › 💻Recommendations for an old console gamer💻-
So I was about 8 years old when Super Mario Bros came out, and after I took down Bowser in level 8-4 I was hooked. Once it's in your blood, it's never gone. Along the years I had a SNES, an N64, a GameCube, a Playstation, and a PS2. The last console game I had time to beat and really enjoy was Grand Theft Auto 3: San Andreas. Amazing game.
That was right after college. Since then, I've been busy making a family and career and producing empty beer bottles. So it's been about 10 years since I've played a console game (in the meantime, I dabbled in some mmo's and Civ 3 and 4, but that turned out to be too much of a time sink).
Long story short, I just bought myself a PS3 and Skyrim. Holy shit Skyrim is amazing - already one of the greates ever. I like open world RPGs of any genre, RTS games, sports games, and don't really care for FPS much. So - what have I missed? I'm considering Red Dead Redemption or GTA4 for my next purchase.

Hmmmm... Well, I didn't see an x-box in that list so... In my opinion Halo 1-2 and 3 are all really fun.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas
And if you're even open to the suggestion- Borderlands 2. It's just fun. It's an amazing story- some parts seriously hit me, and it's all around fun- I know it's an FPS, but it's so much more than that. Just take a shot in the dark and buy it, you won't regret it.

Any other geeky fantasy RPGs out there or crime RPGs like GTA? Is Saints Row any good?

Red dead was lame in my opinion. Very linear. Ride ur horse here, kill this, ride ur horse there, kill that. Just my opinion.
Mass effect would be my suggestion for u bro

Fable 3 is a great game, epic artwork to say the least. It's just fluid, and you have to play it to know what I mean.
Final Fantasy is still going strong, though I think the best is still FF7.
If you liked Skyrim I recommend giving Morrowind a try- more customization and more types of weapons and such, better storyline too (in my opinion)
Have any other consoles than PS3?SR3 is just hilarious. Funny as hell. Give it a try if you have the cash to blow on it.

I reccomend Borderlands 1, and finish the story once then get Borderlands 2.
-
Can't recommend Fallout 3 and new Vegas enough!! As well as GTA4 You might want to also check out Resident evil series, oblivion, uncharted, heavy rain, LA noir, tomb raider series.....
-
i loved gta san andreas but didnt care for gta4. last 2 games i really loved playing were batman arkham city and star wars the force unleashed. loved being a sith and getting to slaughter enemies with a lightsaber and dozens of different ways to use the force to kill people. the city in batman is huge with lots of challenges. also i think the stories in both are great.
-
GTA 4 for me was pretty fun. Red Dead Redemption was great for me and had a long campgain. Also if your into GTA games, Grand Theft Auto 5 is in the makings and trailers and screenshots are out. Rocketed has a drop-method of bits of information every so often. The release date is under lock and key but realistically around early 2013 or may 2013 are the rumors.
-
Oh yeah, the Uncharted series by Maddog, Assassins Creed by Ubisoft with Assassins Creed 3 coming out in around a month or so, and the dead space series with DS3 coming out in february 2013.

And fallout 3 and fallout new Vegas is also a must. -
Oh and I heard Mass effect. If space is your thing play this series or just the last one. Red dead redemption lost its hold on me.

Excellent suggestions guys thanks a lot - Dishonored does look pretty sweet, but I think my next buy may be Assasins Creed 3 - that game looks frigging amazing and the revolutionary war theme hasn't been done before - should be sweet. Thanks to all who posted.
