RPGs for beginners

Man, Amazon's mobile site blows. Just get that then.

Found Devil May Cry trilogy for 30 bucks on amazon. Metroid Prime appears to be out of print and is very pricey as heck. X.X

I picked up the original MP last summer for $4.

Will pick up that set, then. XD *add it to the ever growing list* :)

I love how we're now swamping MGShogun with more great games...  Seriously, I think you should stop and just enjoy some of the games you have / or are getting soon!

Otherwise you're going to be rushing through each one of them, just to get to the next!  It's what I tend to do, and I hate it when that happens.

[MGShogun]

Kup, I love it when you guys are swamping me with tons of great games. It means that there are lot of different games for me to explore so I'm not stuck on one for too long duration of time, i.e. WoW. I don't think I'll be rushing through each one of them, lol but we'll see what happen.

I'm getting the package soon so I'm excited about it. XD This is going to rock!

What do you guys think of the Ar Tonelico series?

[Kup]

I would recommend a few of the earlier Silent Hill games - if you're after a break from RPGs and want to scare yourself!

Silent Hill is on PlayStation, though it might feel very dated now. 

The rest are on PlayStation 2:
Silent Hill 2 (the best in the entire series if you ask me!)

Silent Hill 3 (another good entry, this time with a female lead character)

Silent Hill 4: The Room (a slighty different take on the series, very weird and head fucky)

Silent Hill: Origins (personally, I would say don't bother with this - a PS2 port of a PSP game)

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (also on Wii, supposedly very good.  I'm yet to play this one)


Silent Hill is one of my favourite horror games series and is worth a look.

[MGShogun]

Holy Batman! You sure love Silent Hill series, Kup. XD *add Silent Hill series to the list*

Ah so much games so little times. X.X

Haha, welcome to the club!

Is Silent Hill series like FF series where each game has different background and stories?

They do tie into one and other so if you have the time it is worth playing them in number order.  As far as I can tell, 1-3 tie together nicely.

4 onwards have loose connections to characters and settings.  Hope that helps, it's been a while since I've played them to be honest!

We covered those already check out page 6.

You might want to try the Fatal Frame series as well.

[MGShogun]

Thanks, Kup! Will try to find 1-3, then. XD

xXMelancholiaXx, will look into that series. :D

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (also on Wii and PSP, supposedly very good.  I'm yet to play this one)

Go play it NOW. The story is great (especially since the game is divided between adventure segments and therapy sessions to keep things interesting). The ending is brilliant, but the game is relatively short. If you're a Silent Hill fan you shouldn't pass this one up. Just don't go into it expecting the usual mechanics.

[Kup]

I played the first 40 minutes or so, just to see what it had to offer and I enjoyed it.  I'm saving it for the Winter nights, so it'll be played very soon!

I can't get into a good horror game when the Summer Sun is beaming through the window and curtains.  What I need is a cold evening.  A hot drink and some headphones.

That is the perfect time to play Silent Hill.  Hope you're listening to this MGShogun? =)
