Other Games / Should I play Metroid Prime?
« on: April 18, 2014, 09:29:16 am »
Hello All! I was wondering if I could get some advice. I've never played any of the Metroid Prime games before, but I've been interested in giving them a go. That being said, I'm afraid I might not enjoy them. They obviously look incredible, but I didn't like Super Metroid very much and I'm afraid that means I won't enjoy the Prime games. Both Metroid on the NES and Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the PS1 are some of my favorite games of all time, so I don't really have an excuse for not enjoying Super Metroid, but for whatever reason it didn't appeal to me. Does this mean I won't enjoy Prime or will I probably like it if I enjoyed the original Metroid and SOTN?

Thanks for your input :)

Other Games / Does anything compare to Dwarf Fortress?
« on: December 07, 2013, 01:01:32 pm »
Does anyone know of a game that has anywhere near the level of depth, genius and insanity that is Dwarf Fortress? I don't mean a DF clone or anything, the game could be a completely different genre, just a game that achieves the same level of crazy detailed, micromanaging, anything could happen fun that can steal days of my life without my realizing. The only game that I've known to bring me anywhere near that feeling was Fallout 2, but even that was like comparing a snow ball to a blizzard. What do you think? Have I put Dwarf Fortress on too high a pedestal? Is there nothing else like it? What games do you feel compare to its brilliance?
