Another what should I play next thread

[Ando85]

I have dozens of games in my backlog, but I narrowed my choices to a nice and concise 5. I've heard good things about all these games so they seemed like the best choices. But, which one?

Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together (psp remake)
Dark Souls
Disgaea 4
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Planescape Torment

Well, I've only played Planescape: Torment and Dark Souls, but I've got a lot of praise for those two titles, them being my second and third favourite game of all time, respectively.

What you should play really depends on what you're looking for. PS:T is one of the best stories in any video game ever and the universe the game is set in is really weird and just amazingly well-realised.

Dark Souls, on the other hand has an awesome atmosphere and whenever you kill a boss, it's really rewarding and the gameplay is really the center of this game.

Anyway, as for what I'd suggest, I'd say go play PS:T first, because the story is really that good and well worth it, even if the gameplay isn't all that great.

Either Dark Souls or Nocturne.
I'm playing both of those at the moment,go for DS is you want something to test your reflexes or Nocturne if your not in the mood for an action based game.

I would go with Dark Souls, that'll keep you entertained for at least a few hundred hours...
Then again, I've barely heard of the other titles, so perhaps my judgement is a bit useless.

If you've got a lot of time to waste go for Disgaea 4, that game will consume all your time if you're not careful

Planescape. I have yet to play it but when I ask people what their favorite RPG is, Planescape is often the answer I get.

I've only played Nocturne but I think it's a great game. It takes about 40+ hours though. It took me a while to really enjoy the game. I mean it's Pokemon with demons and an actual story!

I have dozens of games in my backlog, but I narrowed my choices to a nice and concise 5. I've heard good things about all these games so they seemed like the best choices. But, which one?

1. Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together (psp remake)
2. Dark Souls
3. Disgaea 4

Any of these three.
1. An SRPG which emphasizes proper strategy, as opposed to stockpiling the best units and zerging. Has a decent story too, and the mechanics feel good and satisfying when you win.
2. At this point, I've said all I need to about Dark Souls. Suffice it to say that, if you're a patient player, who can persevere through hardships, this game will reward you immensely. If it's anything to go by, I've clocked in over 300 hours and 9 different character builds. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I've become a bit of an expert.
3. Another SRPG, with a killer sense of humour. What I said about 1. applies to this, but your enjoyment of it will depend on how tolerant you are of Japanese-style humour. Personally, I was pretty much laughing throughout, but humour is subjective, so there's not much more I can say.

It's close, but I'd play Dark Souls first, as it will be engrossing if you let it be.

Only played Dark Souls out of those games, so yeah... Go with that one!
I had fun with it, though I liked Demon's Souls more.

Also, I cheated. >
