Hey all. I've been craving a good videogame a lot recently, and I usually give in to the craving to just go out and buy a game that everyone says is good. My problem is, I'm not finding anything that I can actually get into. I want some thing good and epic that I can get hooked on, like a good rpg or solid action/adventure game. I've been dissapointed with a bunch of new games that everyone else loves. I've tried Halo2, Resident Evil 4, metal gear solid 3, Baten Kaitos, San Andreas..... nothing is holding my attention. At this point, I'm spending most of my time playing old snes games and wasting time on warioware touched. Is there anything out there that will hold my attention? or am I just losing my interest in games?

If you didn't like RE4 there's no hope for you. Just quit videogames right now. -

You just listed a bunch of AAA titles, man. Maybe you should try Jenga or Parcheesi.Comment

Re: Need a new game. One that doesn't suck.
Not to say I didn't like those games, I actually do like RE4 quite a bit. It's just not feeling the same as back in the day when I would get so into a game that I could actually sit down and play or hours without getting bored. I didn't give MGS3 a fair chance either, as I only played for like 20 minutes and then my PS2 refused to read the disc anymore. Games like RE and MGS were never my favorite genre anyway. Not to say I didn't enjoy them, I played through and beat the first two MGS games, and I beat RE2 twice. But the games that I really love are RPG's. I'm sure there are others here that share the feeling that nothing beats a good, solid RPG. There just hasn't been one for so long! Baten Kaitos is pretty good actually, but an insane boss I'm on right now is preventing me from progressing. It's really too bad Xenosaga two didn't live up to it's potential. I haven't played it, but I'm not too excited, considering the mediocre reviews, and most importantly, the LACK OF YASUNORI MITSUDA. I haven't played a good rpg that I really, really liked since FFIX. I even lost interest in that towards the end of the 4th disc. What happened to the classics like FF7 and chrono cross? Come on, Square-Enix! Release something that doesn't suck! I suppose that there are some new rpg's out i should play. I've heard good things about shadow hearts, shin megami tensei: nocturne, and the lord of the rings rpg, but the Final Fantasy fanboy inside me is just screaming nooo! It wont be as good as Finl Fantasy once was! I just hope that FF XII is good. I just can't see myself liking the main character. When I first saw an ad for FFVII, I was like "Whoa! Look at that guy with that huge sword! He looks badass! I must play that game!" But just look at Vaan. I don't think I even need to elaborate here. Am I the only one here that thinks recent games are just lacking something? Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to a new rpg, or convince me to beat Baten Kaitos.Comment

Hahaha, yeah, played the hell out of that, and enjoyed every minute of it. Just goes to show how far a little innovation mixed with a solid soundtrack can go. While that game was incredibly fun, It was kinda short, and I think I have finally tired of rolling up everything in sight. Good suggestion though.Comment

Cause nothing beats Leonard Nimoy's dull droll.
Shadow Hearts is a lot of fun, but it's not a 'classic' like you're looking for. It's got a lot of contemporary speech that feels really out of place in a post World War I setting, and the characters don't seem at all right in the setting for that matter, either."Mindless killing doesn't do a lot for me anymore." - SampsonComment

Re: Need a new game. One that doesn't suck.
I see. It seems you're looking for what once gave you feelings of happiness playing games as a youth. It's nothing more than nostalgia. I like a lot of new games, but they can't hold a candle to the games I once enjoyed even after beating them a gazillion times. Although, I can't understand why I liked some of games I enjoyed back then.
It seems there's no hope for you if you keep thinking like that.Quote of the moment - "When you cut down a tree, don't stand near it."Comment

Play the NES version of Rampage. You'll play for hours upon hours upon redundant ****ing hours, and then, when you finally beat the entire game, all you get is a screen that says 'CONGRATULATIONS!' and then it takes you to the title screen so you can start over."Mindless killing doesn't do a lot for me anymore." - SampsonComment

Re: Need a new game. One that doesn't suck.
I think you may be right. Perhaps it is simply nostalgia Im craving. playing through games today doesn't give me the same feeling as playing games that I played when I was younger, no matter the quality of the game. This explains why I like playing old games that I have fond memories of, even if they aren't the best games around. I can always have fun playing games that I have fond memories of, because I was happy in my childhood playing games. Now that Im older and have been kinda depressed recently, the games Im playing now are mixed together with all of the other crap I have to deal with. I think I just need to get my life in order, and then I will be able to enjoy things like videogames once again...
