Epic game though. Took 90 hours with about half the side quests

For the PS3 I'd suggest Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut, Yakuza 4, Puppeteer, and 3D Dot Game Heroes.

I could recommend several for PS3. Tales of Graces f Tales of Xillia, Tales of Xillia 2, I could go on. For Wii I'd recommend Xenoblade Chronicles or Arc Rise Fantasia.

Puppeteer is fun. I to would say try it.
Sadly I can't think of any unknown games worth saying that are ps3 and i don't own a Wii.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll check some of these out. I actually have Xenoblade already and it's one of my favourite video games ever. So excited for X!

So I got Tales of Xillia. I'm 4 hours in already, I have no idea what "Xillia" is, but I really like it. The artstyle and the battle system are both fantastic and I love the character interactions (like Milla's simultaneous wisdom and derpyness). Thanks

No problem. Happy to get more people to play the game. Maybe even get them into the series itself.

On a side note: I'm almost done with the Septentrione Arc in Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. Don't know what ending to go for though. Maybe after I'm done, I'll go back and finish Final Fantasy Type-0 or something.

my favorite video game is Super Smash Brothers on the WiiU.

Unfortunately I can't run Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door so I'm taking a break from games to grieve. X.x

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 12:20 am

Decided to randomly start playing Luminous Arc 2 again. Don't understand why I put it down so long ago. It's pretty fun.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 9:11 pm

I just got a full set of three star gear and a totally sweet Dual Squelcher in Splatoon. So I'm living that up at the moment. XP

But my friends and I will be starting a Terraria server on Friday again... I fear for my free time's future...

Invisan · Post by **Invisan** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 7:48 am

@Jonny if you like racing try Split/Second. Awesome game.

I got peer-pressured into buying Terraria.
Let's just hope it's worth the 3 days' worth of food budget it cost me TwT

... I'm lonely, okay?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 2:14 pm

Well if worse comes to worse, I'm sure you can scavenge by dumpsters.

Just kidding by the way.

Is food in Malaysia expensive?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 12:39 am

I would hope not. Because then I would be wondering how he got by all these years.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 3:32 am

Food is not that expensive where I live, but games generally are, especially when the Malaysian Ringgit is weak against the US Dollar. Imagine RM1 = $1. Terraria costs $23, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire costs $150 - $200, and Fallout 4 pre-order costs $200 on Steam. My monthly allowance is about $300, with a budget of $10 daily.

A single decent meal usually costs about $3 - $5. Unless you're eating ramen, $1 per packet.

In any case, I got nauseated last night trying to understand what to do in Terraria last night. Today is a bit better, but it's definitely not my kind of game =w=

Such a shame you can get a refund now.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 3:43 pm

Can't lie, I too have grown tired of the same old gather > craft > repeat layout that today's survival games use. It's just overused now.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 9:29 pm

Funny thing is, I wish to make my own survival game someday. People's survival game are too formula, and I had something way back that was not formulated much at all. Just have to hope that idea gets out someday. :3

I don't mind crafting Ultima WEapon, though. that's always fun.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 9:47 pm

Oh I almost forgot, got my Faraam Armor Set (Dark Souls 2 Cover Armor) up to its highest rank. I feel so good looking.

Yeah but Terraria was one of the pioneers of it! Plus it's got a fun Metroidvania engine to go with it. As much as I love Minecraft, the actual engine (other than the crafting/building stuff) leaves a bit to be desired.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Tue Jul 07, 2015 5:58 pm

,,, Okay, I have to be honest, I am enjoying playing Terraria atm. It's the first time I've played a game like this, and after a bit of learning, I think I got the basics.

What I am not looking forward though are the boss fights. Like, even the Antlion species terrified me the first time I found them, and that burrowing sound of the centipede-like creature got my heart racing so much it hurt @_@

And that final pre-hardmode boss... No thank you. I found 6 hearts, but I didn't use any of them fearing they might come @_@

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 12:14 am

The stronger you get, the more manageable bosses become!

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 4:36 am

It's not how hard the boss is, I mean how they look, and how large they are compared to your player character. I'm already used to the same scale enemies, seeing ones about 30 times taller is nightmare fuel

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 7:49 am

Just think of them as giant Bullet Bills :3

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 9:19 am

Bullet Bills are cute. Those hellspawns are not. I guess it's because I don't like surprises and jumpscares, and since I actively avoid these, I have a very low tolerance for them. Even the sound of someone knocking at the door makes my heart race, or seeing someone I don't like, or being stuck in a awkward moment in social interactions. AKA, it's all because of me TwT

Anyway, a game that I love and have no fear of is One Way Heroics, this randomly generated rogue-like timed dungeon crawler. It's very cheap, and I've clocked in about 60 hours before I finally unlocked all the achievements. I'm waiting for the Plus version to come out in Steam, although it is already out in Playism.

Say, anyone else uses Playism? Or GOG.com? Or HumbleBundle (I think)? People tend to say that these are way better and cheaper than Steam, and supports the indie developers more. I tried Playism, and while the library mainly consists of Japanese-developed games, they are much easier to purchase. Touhou 14 is even there, though $15 is a little steep for me atm.

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 2:54 pm

Hey guys, this morning I got Steam coupons for 75% off Goat Simulator and 50% off I Am Bread. I already have the former and I'm not interested in the latter, so does anyone want them?

Okay, here's a fun trivial question. What was the first SoulCalibur game?

I found this on a hacking site I browse.

I found a full image of that on a site I browse. However, I did not think to save it.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 10:41 pm

That is what I first saw when I saw your post Amazee. Needless to say I was kinda confused why you didn't post what you had found, and even more baffled by the fact Deske seemed to know what you had intended to post without being able to see it.

Turns out my adblock caught it.

If anyone else out there can't see it, try turning off your adblock.

Voice acting? Whyyyyyy.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 12:07 pm

Erm, why not?

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 1:09 am

The Banjo-Kazooie games, after which this is modeled, didn't have real voice acting. I'm pretty sure Yooka-Laylee will follow those footsteps.

That said, that was pretty good voice acting,
