Marie: The girl in need of games - PLEASE HELP

[cIementine]

I just realised, on this day at 11:44am that I do not play games and I need to.
My whole life is just an endless circle of constant Tomodachi Life, ACNL, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
That's it.
I don't want my life to be this way, so as you would in this mid-life crisis, I went to the internet and found myself in the heart of British gaming (GAME.co.uk)

There are a lot of of games I've seen and considered. Does anyone have some reviews or opinions on any of these? Are any of these a waste of money? Are there some I must have?
Also, please give me some good recommendations of yours! (preferably on 3DS, but also accepting WiiU)

- The Sims 3 (PC)
- Fire Emblem: Awakening
- Kingdom Hearts: Recoded
- Kingdom Hearts: Dream drop distance
- Legend of Zelda: A link between worlds
- Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time 3D
- Bravely Default
- Adventure time: Explore the dungeon because I DON'T KNOW
- Regular Show: The video game

A must have is Kingdom Hearts Dream drop, I just "finished" the game and it is sooooooo good!
One of the best games I've ever played *^*
It involves a lot of fighting, so if you don't like those kind of stuff, you won't be pleased with it.
But all the kingdom hearts are in the same spirit, they are like a serie and very well developed. I'd advise you dreamed rop since it is the most recent one.
The sims 3, um, you'll spend a good chunk of time on it, but then you'll get bored after a few months. I have lost total desire to play the games, and I have 5 additional games for the sims T-T . (Hope that the sims 4 will be better!)
For the Zelda games, I just started the ocarina of time, so I can't tell you yet if it is good or not. I have an older game boy game of Zelda, so I am a bit not used to playing with the 3D layout and characters.

Or and for older games, you could get used ones, they'd be a whole cheaper than new ones

 

[Taycat]

For the Kingdom Hearts ones, I suggest you start at the beginning and play through the games as they were released...
Just so you don't get really confused >n<

 

[Twinrova]

I really recommend Fire Emblem: Awakening! It's a strategy RPG, with an excellent cast of characters, great music, and engaging story.
There are also a lot of different difficulty levels that it can be played at, and due to the customisation and supports system, each playthrough is a different experience. It can be played independently from the other FE games.

Both of the Zelda games are really good too

 

[Reindeer]

Fire Emblem: Awakening. The rest of the games are kinda boring, to be honest (except for maybe The Sims, I wouldn't know).


Off the list though, I'd recommend Etrian Odyssey 4 and Tales of the Abyss.

- The Sims 3 (PC)
- Fire Emblem: Awakening
- Kingdom Hearts: Recoded
- Kingdom Hearts: Dream drop distance
- Legend of Zelda: A link between worlds
- Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time 3D
- Bravely Default

Yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Make sure your computer can handle the Sims. Fire Emblem Awakening is very fun STRATEGY game, sunk a lot of time into that (500 hours). Recoded is a port of a cell phone game and honestly unless you are a fan of Kingdom Heart series, I would skip it. Dream Drop is loads of fun. Zelda games are pretty much instant recommendation from me. Bravely Default is fun.

Lego City Undercover, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 I recommend for Wii U.

 

[Aradai]

Fire Emblem: Awakening. I'm getting it. I'm pumped. Someone introduced me to it, and I think I'm gonna like it.

Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It seems pretty neat. Violence is my kind of thing and so is Disney so it's a good mix aha.
The sims seems like one of those games you get bored of, but I guess it's fun while it lasts? You had to buy several games for it?

I played the play station 2 ones. If I was to get dream drop, would I be confused?

Good suggestion! Just searched it up an hour ago and it seems pretty cool. I'm hoping to get it! ^u^

Ah, okay.

Thanks for the great advice and suggestions! I actually already have Super Mario 3D world and Mario Kart 8. I don't get to play them much because my brother is on the xbox almost 24/7 ahaha.
I'll be getting Legend of Zelda: Windwaker HD with my MK8 code ^u^

Like others have said; Fire Emblem: Awakening. There's a demo you can download so you can try the game first before buying it. I did so and absolutely loved it, even though I had never played a Fire Emblem game before. I like that you can change the difficulty setting and that you have the option to play "Casual" which means your characters don't really die (well, unless Chrom or your avatar dies, in which case you get a "Game Over"). The music is amazing and it's a very fun game. It can be a bit overwhelming if you begin reading how the skills, reclassing and such works, but you can play the game just fine without focusing too much on all that.

As for Bravely Default, there's also a demo for that one, but as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't bring myself to like this game. The demo doesn't do a very good job of explaining what you're supposed to do (something the demo for Fire Emblem: Awakening does and very well at that) and I was just "meh" about it. But I've read that the actual game itself is much better than the demo, so I might buy it in the future, anyway (though I've also read it gets repetitive at some point, but people who've actually played it can say more about this).

 

[Imitation]

Get Bravely default!
Trust me you wont regret it!
It is an extremely lengthy, fun and charming game
The game has tons of content such as 24 different classes that all specialise in different things, for example Vampire, Knight, Red mage and Valkyrie
It is fully voice acted.
AMAZING art style and overworld
Characters are extremely lovable and rememberable.
I would say the only issue that I have with the game is some parts of the second half of the game which is where I am up to

 

[ZeldaSylveon]

A Link Between Worlds is amazinggg definetly play it! I like the way it's non linear. It adds your own freedom. You can choose the order of the temples. is Fire Emblem Awakening that good? I 've never played a Fire Emblem game but I've heard it's amazing. Ocarina of Time is a must play since it's a classic. The Master Quest after you beat the game is fun too.

 

[PaperLuigi3]

Get into Super Smash Bros. Melee, then join the competitive scene, then get really good, then be the best in the world and make lots of friends because to be honest you'll make more friends than most people ever do in their lifetime, and they're actually really good friends DID I TELL YOU THAT YOU GET HOPPED UP ON ENERGY DRINKS FROM TIME TO TIME particularly when someone sneaks Full Throttle into your Dr. Pepper, what makes it worse is that I hate Dr. Pepper and we didn't even have water cause we were playing at a cheap venue but hey, whatever works, right, there's no reason really not to get into it unless you're scared of Melee, but it's a really fun game when you get into it and learn all the great things that you can do like SHFFLing and wavedashing and that's even the really tough stuff just wait until EVO 2015 cause EVO is always the biggest Melee tournament ever and it usually sets records for the largest tournament in history and it always makes Twitch a lot of money 'cause Twitch likes money that's why they're all twitchy.

Do I need to repeat any of that?

There's a new demo. I'm not sure if it's out already or not, but it allows players to play up to chapter 4, I believe. So yeah, half of the game.

Even so, I don't think Bravely Default is worth it.

 

[xXObliterationXx]

I would definitely recommend OoT3D. Its a great remake of the Classic!

You should also try Kid Icarus: Uprising, if you haven't already!

Bravely default is AMAZING.
Even if you need to grind a bit,
you can just fast-forward in game. It's a SUPER fun RPG game, just as good as fire emblem imo.

 

[RayOfHope]

Ocarina of Time 3D! Great place to start in the series, even if you don't play any of the other Zelda games.

I also heard of the new demo but it is a Japan exclusive (what isnt...)
Have you even played the actual game o are you just basing that off of the very boring/tedious demo?

I've actually played the game and it started becoming boring at the end of chapter 4. Getting through the rest is a struggle.

For the sims 3, you don't have to buy additional games, but I bought them because I was bored otherwise xD
Like it adds some stuff to your sims (like animals!).
Kingdom hearts dream drop was my first kingdom hearts, and I wasn't confused. If you get confused, I advise you to read in Wikipedia the story of the previous games (which is what I did because I was interested in the characters' history) oh but beware, don't read the story for kingdom hearts otherwise you'll be sooooo spoiled ;-; (felt like trash because I read it when I was toward the ending of my game, so I knew what was going to happen argh)
Otherwise you can always try the demo on the eshop. I tried kingdom hearts dream drop two years ago, and due to lack of time I never bought it until recently.
Really do try the demos, I tried tomodachi life on demo and realized it was too much along the lines of the sims but in more boring way.

 

[Rosalina]

Like everyone said, get Fire Emblem Awakening. Its really good! Kingdom Hearts 3D is a really good game (even though theres a pretty awful difficulty spike near the end) and I highly recommend a Link Between Worlds. However don't get Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded. The two DS installments (the other one being 358/2 Days) are the worst games in the series.
