I'm pretty close to finishing KOTOR, and I'm really torn on what to play next, but I'll stick by majority.
Keep in mind I have not played any of the games on this list.
XBox - Knights of the Old Republic 2
PS2 - Final Fantasy X
Xbox 360 - Bioshock 2
PS1 - Final Fantasy VIII
Dreamcast - Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver
N64 - Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
SNES - Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past
Or, check out my collection and write in a vote... because much of it I haven't played.
-
You never played Link to the Past? What?
Yeah, play that.
-
Really, pretty much all the games here I had a "You never played *GAME*? Play that." reaction to.
But a shout out to Ocarina of Time (one of my favorites ever!) or Bioshock 2.
I'd give a game or two in between KOTOR and KOTOR 2. Although they are both great, KOTOR was developed by Bioware and KOTOR 2 was actually developed by Obsidian. The UI is just different enough that it gets to some people when they play them back to back.

I know, and I've been a gamer since I was a little kid. I genuinely couldn't tell you how I spent my gaming years after FF VII was released. I was a Sony kid, then an MS kid, and didn't pick up a Nintendo anything until well into my 30s.
The great thing is I get to enjoy them still... the bad thing is I don't have 24 straight hours to blow in front of a console like I did when I was a kid.
-
Do you have the PC version of kotor 2? If so look for the story patch, kotor 2 was rushed and obsidian cut a crap load of stuff from it. Fans in the modding community found the files on disc and reinserted them into the game.
EDIT: I am retarded, and didn't read that it was the Xbox version of Kotor 2.
-
Also I vote for Link to the Past. While Ocarina of Time is most excellent, I think you would do well playing Link to the Past first. And as far as Final Fantasy goes, I got much more enjoyment out of X than I did VIII. I just couldn't get into that game, and the story seemed laughable (especially major plot points). Personally, if you haven't, I'd suggest playing FFIX. It's one of my top 5 FF games (Plus Vivi is one of my most favorite characters ever).
-
Definitely one of those Zelda games. Of the two I prefer OoT, but LttP is great as well!
-
Do you have a PS3?
If you do, I believe that FF-X (IMO, a 8/10 game) is going to be getting an HD *Re-Master* on the PS3 (and possibly other platforms that I'm unaware of).
From what I've heard, like I said, it's to be a Re-master *NOT* a re-make...so unless you enjoy playing the games in their original graphics, I'd say just wait for the re-master & play the game in HD.
-
For what it's worth, I recently played Final Fantasy X on my PS3 with it's edge smoothing feature turned on and the game still looks very good. Personally, I don't think most of these HD remasters are worth it.

SNES - Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past
Knights - Shrug, if you are playing the first one, the second one wouldnt be a bad option
FFX - Throw it in the trash and never look back. Its the begining of the shit that is the current FF trend.
Bioshock 2 - No idea. Never played it
FF VIII - Not the best but still beats X or anything after
Legacy of Kain - Never played but looks okay/
Zelda Ocarina of Time - Looks decent ...
Zelda Link to the Past - Best Zelda game ever without question. If you havent played it, its a must try.

^This. Link to the Past is just so fantastic, it's impossible to skip. Everything else on the list is very skippable, even OoT. Not that OoT isn't good, it's great, but it doesn't have the same polish as LttP I'd say.
-
Play Link to the Past
Fixed it. ;)
-
Lol thanks for minimizing my list haha :P
-
So I'm going to add one more thing to the list - Castlevania Symphony of the Night. I'm thinking it might have to be this. Never played it, not even on the 360 with the remake.
-
Pretty much any version of Symphony is good. The Xbox 360 version did remove a few things, but nothing drastic. Of course, if you want to see the intro and ending videos you'll have to play the psx version

IIRC, if you pop the PS1 version of SotN into a CD player...wasn't there a song or 2 or some dialogue or something that would play on it?
-
I just started playing SotN ... I really like it. Its unique and pretty interesting to play. I can imagine its pretty easy to get lost however. The world appears to be massive as hell.

Yup, if you pop it into the CD player there is a track on it with a bonus song and a warning from Alucard telling you it is a PlayStation black disc.
Also if you do the same with the Saturn version into a CD player, the same song plays with Alucard's Japanese voice actor warning you about it being a Saturn disc.

I wonder if all of that would work with modern CD players. I've recently heard that if a regular CD has a track hidden before a track (like you have to let a track start and then reverse to access the hidden one), that is no longer supported in the standards of CD players, and those tracks are no longer accessible unless you rip the CD to a digital format and pull it out of the data (or just get an old CD player).
-
I've put both into my laptop and my CD player and they work. Also you can play them via either the Saturn or PSX music players. ;)
-
Uses Pheonix Down on thread...
-
Who needs the input? :)
If its a classic game, FF VI or VII are top recommendations as is Super Metroid and Zelda Link to the past.
If its a modern game, any of the God of War games is pretty fun. Ni no Kuni obviously if you have it.
-
soul reaver gets my vote
-
You never played Link to the Past? What?
Yeah, play that.
Yep, this. It's a gaming masterpiece that should be played by any gamer that likes Nintendo, Zelda, or 2D gaming. Just an incredible experience that has fantastic game design and great polish.
-
IMHO - I'd think that anyone here who has yet to play (prioritized by "the lower the number = the more importance to play"):
(1). Shadow Hearts (PS2 game),
(2). Shadow Hearts: Covenant (also a PS2 game)...*NOTE* Only prioritized this way due to story & character continuity & overlap; as, IMHO, Covenant is the better game:)
(3). Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land (IMHO)...the *BEST* Dungeon-Crawler on the PS2,
(4). Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (I *believe* that it may be called SMT: Lucifer's Call in other regions),
(5). SMT: Persona 3,
(6). SMT: Persona 4, and
(7). Dragon Quest VII: Journey of the Cursed King...
...*SHOULD* play these games (in this order) ASAP ;D
It's *MY* short, "Top 7" List of RPG-recommendations for the PS2; every time 8)

Knights of the Old Republic 2 - I've never played it but I've heard that it's not nearly as good as the first one.
Final Fantasy X - This is a good game. I personally like XII better but it's worth a play. The story is cool. Keep in mind that soera has horrible taste in movies and FF games.
Bioshock 2 - Never played it.
Final Fantasy VIII - The first FF game I ever played. I really like it but maybe it's just nostalgia. It's not too difficult.
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver - This is a great game.
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - A very good game (as part of the LoZ series or otherwise). I can't really get behind all of the love for this game, but I get why there is so much out there. I liked Wind Waker better than OoT :)
Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past - Hands down the best LoZ game ever. Play this! If you can't sit down for long periods of time just play through a level per night (well, maybe 2/night for the first few since they're pretty easy).
-
KoToR 2 is best played on the PC with the fan made content fix patch, which adds in the removed story content that was left non implemented , but on disc. Since they rushed its release.
-
If you haven't played Link to the Past then you need to play that one asap.
But sense you just got finished with KOTOR, I'd go with KOTOR2.
unless you want to play something different then go with Link to the Past.
-
I liked Wind Waker better than OoT :)
I have tried many times to play Wind Waker but I just don't like it. I think it is the sailing that makes me not like it so much. I just get bored with it when I can play Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, and Adventure of Link for hours without ever getting bored.

Yes, the sailing can get tedious. I just really, really liked the story...especially towards the end on the game. I won't spoil it but if anyone else has beat it they'll know what I'm talking about. I was kind of like...oh shit...I've been over what this entire time???
