The 3x3 Thread

This was incredibly fun to make. The thought of playing any of these again gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Yes, even Pajama Sam. RIP humongous entertainment

Really happy to see Shining Force and Xenogears and Phantasy Star 4 on your list. Golden Sun is definitely a standout, too.

They're so good I could play them all again right now. Just did a full shining force series playthough the end of last year. Hoping SEGA shows some love to shining force and phantasy star. Xenogears is stuck where it is, sadly

Yeah. I doubt we'll see Shining Force 4, but they should at least release 3 complete for the wider public sometime. I'm actually starting a new playthrough of 3 right now, starting battle 3 (every time I tried to play through this in the past something happened and I ended up stopping, let's see if I'll manage this time).

As for Xengears... gee, don't even get me started. It was my "second love" RPG after I finished FF7. My joy, and later my disappointment were hard to even define. It's the only Xeno game I like and that's never going to change (or should I say Xange).

Last year was actually my first time playing all 3 scenarios with imports. Definitely recommend going all the way through! The payoff is incredible.

The original Xenogears vision never being completed is so disappointing, I'm with you there man.
 
It's a bit confusing for me to use this one, so I made one with another app
Mind sharing the name of that app?

Some solid choices here. I liked Mafia 2, I just wish both games made better use of the huge open worlds they have (Ideally it'd be a different way than slapping another 100 collectibles).

Getting those 1,000 miles for the trophy was painful as hell.

I've noticed that both KOTOR games get a lot of praise online when it comes to RPGs and that has caught my attention more than once, but the fact that the game takes place in the world of Star Wars is what has ultimately kept me away from them. I've never cared about Star Wars, do I need to know anything about it to enjoy the game? Or is it a stand-alone experience? For example, does the game feature its own independent story, or will it assume I already know the basics about the story and characters from the films?
There was only one mention of 3x3 on the whole post, I guess that's why I overlooked it. Well again, it's up to the staff to decide if we can have a second one or not.

It’s up to you if you wanna merge these two together. In my opinion, I don’t think it’s needed. The thread was vague anyways. (Although I feel bad he’s inactive cuz he’s Kuwaiti like me… shucks) @Waffles
 
Honestly, the active posters from that older thread have mostly already commented here anyways, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Agreed, and good point. Was mainly answering Pornstar’s question. (Which tbf, was because I was being a nerd)

Bioware was brave back then and set the story thousands of years before the movies, with zero returning characters. The game is structured exactly like Mass Effect 1, just much smaller due to being a console generation earlier. I don't even like Star Wars all that much. KOTOR is just that good!

It does have very clunky combat based on DND rules. I can work with it to enjoy the rest of the game, but if others can't I totally understand

Well it is understanded why.

Back then before Bioware was bought buy EA and then later got Infected by DEI cancer they knew how to make games and i mean GOOD games. KOTOR 1 and 2 hands down the best star wars game you will ever play ever. Heck even under EA control they made some banger´s like first dragon age.

But as time moved on more and more and more of the orginal creators of KOTOR and Dragon age left and more and more DEI brainwashed activists got hire to the point that´s only DEI cancer is all that bioware is today. And what do we get the trash cancer called Veilguard.

I mean David Gaider their best writer that wrote the best charter in the first dragon age he left in 2016. and as he said them self no one at the company at the time he left appreciated witers what so ever hence why he left. That man carried most of the wirting for bioware´s games. But they rather loose their best witer in favor of hiring more idiots that have no clue on what they are doing.

And that´s the issue companies do today they hire people based on skin color and stupid labels instead of hire qualified people.
 
Problem is I could Easily make a top 100
Do it, what's stopping you? :ROFLMAO:

Okay, so for what I understand I don't need to know anything about the SW universe to get into the games. What about essentials, both games are 20+ years old, do they require patches, mods or anything of the sort? Are the Steam versions good?

It's called Inshot, quite easy to use and not complicated
Thanks a lot!

KOTOR plays fine on steam vanilla but in 4:3. With a little bit of work you can mod widescreen and graphics mods if you desire. You can also play or emulate the switch port and that is widescreen with HD graphics by default.

KOTOR II was rushed out the door and had the second half of the game cut down. IIRC the content was left unfinished on the disc and modders restored it and released it as a steam workshop addon. The steam version is the only way to play the "full" game. This was never released for the switch version

You gotta try out KOTOR. I always say that I like the extended universe stuff more than the main movies. KOTOR is one of the best Star Wars stories I think. You only need base level understanding of Star Wars since KOTOR takes place years and years before the main movies, back when the original Jedi were still alive and operating.

KOTOR 1 has a mod I always use that adds some of the more polished cut content back into the game, but you don't need much for that, a widescreen patch exists but is weird to set up. KOTOR 2 has the cut content patch that restores the last half of the game that Obsidian never finished. Like the other guy said though it's easier to install since it's on the steam workshop. KOTOR 2 also has the same weird widescreen patch.
