>3x3 rating and backlog.

That's a bit too much, OP. Recommendations would be better in general, but I'll play along.

6/6 (P5, MGS2, Pokemon, Yakuza 5, T&T, BOTW)

Play Skies of Arcadia. It's my favourite game of all time and gives off a great feeling of adventure and companionship. Main character is also god tier.

I don't really have much of a backlog, but I'll post what I'm playing and play the most suggested next.

Yu-No
Persona 3
Outrun 2006
Doom 64
Suikoden 2

>>387467839
Eh, I thought it's a nice twist on these threads. I tried do recommendation ones years ago and then it just turns out to everyone recommending each other games they've already played.

6/7

How's the writing in Skies of Arcadia (aside from the MC you mentioned is god tier). Aside from Pokemon I pretty much only like JRPGs with GOAT writing.

I've only played P3 of those, and while it's not as good as 4 or 5 IMO, it's still a masterpiece.

Deadly Premonition is some good shit, my man. I should go back and finish it sometime, especially now that Swery has announced his new game.

Not gonna bother with the recommendations or backlog stuff, though. My backlog is way too large to cut down to just twenty-five, and in the case of recommending shit, I feel 3x3s aren't enough to totally be able to tell someone's tastes, so fuck it.

Hollow Knight is so damn good, Just finished it.

>>387469176
7/8

I don't get why 5 isn't considered GOAT like 2 and 0. I consider all three to be a masterpiece. I never finished 4 but I'll do it during my replays after I beat Kiwami. I couldn't get into the prologue for Vallhalla, is the main game much better?

I feel like KOTOR2 is gonna be an all timer for me considering how much I love the first one.

Only played a bit of Prey as far as your backlog goes, but I really love the level design a lot.

>>387469401
6/8

I really don't understand the love for Automata, the original is an all timer but I would have to say Automata is the biggest gaming disappointment for me in recent memory, maybe of all time.

>Automata is the biggest gaming disappointment for me in recent memory, maybe of all time
That's crazy to me. Automata is amazing. It managed to capture the feel of Nier perfectly, despite it being developed by CUHRAYZEE and not Cavia, it has a fantastic soundtrack that is not quite as good as the first game's, but it's still great, and it looks fantastic visually. It even outdid Nier's branch D thing with it's branch E thing.
I mean, I don't like it as much as Nier or Drakengard, but it's still a fantastic sequel.

This image is kinda outdated, replace COTM with DOOM 2016.

>>387471109
I hated the gameplay, it felt like knock off Platinum, a lot of it felt like damage sponges. I prefer the original's gameplay by a lot. The soundtrack felt like a retread of the original's except lacks anything to make it interesting or stand out which made me forget it instantly. The characters and story I felt were so poor in comparison to the original. There was no emotion for me at the end, no twist that made me go holy shit. When I finished it all I felt was, "that was it?"

I haven't played D1 but I played D3 and legitimately is one of the worst games I've ever played, bad in every aspect.

>>387471287

Really, Watch_Dogs and FF8? The levels for Berserk are so damn bad but the bosses are pretty solid. I ended up getting so bored I downloaded a save file just so I could do boss rush mode instead. Much more enjoyable experience.

>>387472248
I'm the Watch_Dogs anon. The reason 8 is up there is definitely nostalgia, as it was my first RPG.

I can't pin down why I like Watch_Dogs so much. Sometimes I think I'm still in denial, like how a lot of people were over No Man's Sky turning out bad.

Okay yeah, the gameplay isn't the best. It was a wee bit floaty. And while the soundtrack is a bit of a retread, it still has some amazing tracks in there, such as
https://youtu.be/0bJznex0eYQ
https://youtu.be/jjDO91gNiCU
And I thought the characters were done well for the most part. 9S and 2B, after you find out that she's actually 2E, were really interesting. Taro totally dropped the ball with A2 though. I mean, they don't definitely don't beat Nier, Kaine, or Emil, but they were still good, I feel. And as for the story, I won't lie, I was not entirely sure what in the fuck was going on.
I dunno, maybe it just helps that Nier's my favorite game of ever.

And I totally feel the same about Drakengard 3. It is probably one of the worst game's I've ever played, and it may just be the least fun I've ever had playing a game ever. Still played it to the end though. It at least got sorta alright in the final branch. Not gameplay-wise, of course, but story-wise.

>>387476168
There's a lot of easter eggs and callbacks, but even if most of them go over your head I would wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a fucking fantastic platformer that I think outclasses even 3&K, which is no small feat.

The writing is very charming to say the least, the main characters are really great and have good chemistry.

I'm not the best when it comes to describing writing and stories, but the writing is in no way awful, I'd say it's somewhat generic (Good guys fight bad guys to stop them from destroying the world) but all the characters and world make up for it. Plus the adventure you have is really great.

I'd give it a few hours and see if you like it, the encounter rate is awful though.

Is there any reason I shouldn't start with Yakuza 1? It's the one I ordered, I just always assume release order.

>>387481169
Not that guy, but the combat in Yakuza 1 is pretty rough. Not terrible, but rough. That being said, you should still go through the games in release order as they were intended to be played.

>>387481169
It really fucking dated, and especially with Kiwami there's absolutely no reason to play it anymore. If you don't like it don't let it turn you off from the series. All the dub is REALLY bad.

>>387480906
That's not enough considering Yoko's gameplay

>>387481771
Yeah, no, the gameplay is terrible. But hey, you can play as a maniac that loves murder and kicking children in the head, a pedophile that really wishes he wasn't a pedophile but really wants to diddle little boys, a cannibal elf that loves eating children, and a shota.

>I'm emulating it so at least I can turbo mode through encounters then, right? Or do I need to actually think?

It depends what you emulate it on.

The Gamecube version has really shitty music but a lower encounter rate, whereas the Dreamcast version has a higher encounter rate by superior music.

You don't need to think in general battles, but you do in boss fights and ship fights.

Although I should add, there's a secret ranking that's affected by a lot of stuff, running from battles lowers it and it can stop you from getting the best weapons in the game.
