    True Crime was fun. Sleeping Dogs ultimately became what it is, but it started as the next True Crime game. It's actually pretty fun and I recommend it.

      If they were ever to remake/reboot it, i would be interested. It was a good game and liked the playing as a cop aspect.

      I would like to see more major cop/detective games. Haven't been much since LA Noire, Sleeping Dogs, and Max Payne 3.

      I liked both TC:LA and TC:NY. I would love a True Crime:LA remake

        Recently I used the Playstation catalog a game I loved when it came out.

        Parasite Eve (PS1): This game is still wonderful!

          If you're only on consoles, I heard Disco Elysium is coming to those platforms soon. (It's already out on PC)

            I'm going to add a couple more. Both are mainstream but received a lot of criticism.

            Finally fantasy 8
            I actually don't understand why people hate this game so much. The magic /draw system was terrible, I'll grant that. Imo it has the best story of any FF game to date, with the best music that Nobuo Uemetsu ever composed for a FF game. The introduction of the card mini game was also a fun little addition.

            Final Fantasy XIII
            I kind of do get why this game gets hated on, but also don't. The linear structure was a major departure from most of the series. However, X is often considered one of the best, and it was every bit as linear. The bottlenecks for leveling up were annoying, but it did make sense in the context of the story. Speaking of stories, it could have used a bit more exposition, but if we are being honest that is the case for most jrpgs. Combat was fun, fluid, tactical and cinematic. Not having more access to summons was a bit unfortunate, especially since they were so cool, but the game really shined with its characters. Lightning is my favorite character in the series, and other than Hope, every member of the cast had very real motivations for overcoming the difficulties of their quest.

              My PC can't handle Disco Elysium or I would have played it day one, but from the way people who share my gaming taste talk about it, it has GOAT potential for me.

              Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

              Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                You sure dude ? I'm playing it on a AMD Athlon II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz with 5.00 GB Ram and a GeForce GTS 450 card that I've had for about a decade.

                    It did lead to a lot of fun games. Unfortunately it was compacted into a short period of time. Still, who ever thought we would get a Beatles music game?

                      it was all the rage, I used to heave people over and everyone would want to have a drink and play rock band! I remember it was like 2006 or something if I remember correctly? maybe 2007 ... then it just vanished because the masses don't like new editions etc. Like if you can play nba jam in an arcade for 10 years, ...

                        Totally agree. I think I posted this over in the "Uncommon Opinions" thread, but Final Fantasy XIII is my favorite Final Fantasy game. I loved it. Although I think that it helped that I played it for the first time many years after it was released and therefore didn't have any preconceived notions about the game or any of the 'controversy' surrounding it.

                          Yeah I think having the Final Fantasy name hurt XIII. I had kind of a similar situation as you. I played it when it first came out, and got about half way through it before giving up. At the time I actually didn't like the combat. I came back to it a year or so later without any of those pre-conceived notions and found that I just really enjoyed the experience.

                            I hadn't come back to this thread in a minute so I didn't see this post, but I will definitely be able to run the game now. I want to finish Greedfall on Xbox first, but DE is definitely next. Thanks for the update.

                              Alpha Protocol on PS3 was always a blast. You could really feel the way you acted and used your dialogue effected outcomes during the game. I played it over Christmas and it's now back in my PS3 rotation. If you like RPG espionage I def recommend it. You can pick it up really cheap as well now, so it's real value for money.

                              Still on PS3 Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is still the most realistic sim war game for consoles...it's really hard but it's worth it if you like realistic war.

                              The MGS remastered PS3 edition is also worth a look...it's 3 of the better titles all in one and the graphics do hold up if that thing matters to you.

                              Ghost Recon Wildlands. I've put so many hours into this game and it's still the go to game for my buddies and me on a weekend.

                              NHL2k10. You can see my posts about it in the forum but this is the hockey game I play every week.

                                Another game would be Prototype. Yeah it had its obvious flaws and 2nd's game direction turned many off and being compared to Infamous, but I liked the potential the first game had. I enjoyed the gameplay and at time it was different. It was fun to run full speed, snatch someone up, and run up tallest building, and toss them 50 yards lol.
                                I didn't care for that lazy port they did for current gen where they just bundled the two game together as is. Felt like just a money grab. They should have remastered the games at least.

                                I wouldn't mind a reboot of the Series. Where they keep the premise of the game but give it better direction. I would even take a remake of the first game.
