Well Amigos it's Time for a 3x3 Thread

Well you guys know the game by now, but for those that don't

>Create a 3x3 of your favourite games using this

>Rate other 3x3s using this scoring system
Games you liked/games you played

Anyone got any ideas on how we could promote more discussions within the thread so it isn't just people posting scores?

Also maybe talk about your favourite game from the grid. Oddworld is my favourite because it gave me an experience like no other at the time

2/2
+Crash 2 +COD:BLOPS

Yeah for some reason finding good images of Spyro Year of the Dragon that work on the mosaic site is a real bitch. This was one of the better images of the boxart I could find that'd show up, but I failed to realise it was Spanish. I'll fix it later

Not a bad idea actually. Well I guess Xenoblade is my favourite because it provides a fantastic sense of scale and adventure. There's also the fun combat and fantastic soundtrack too.

Just installed NV after a long hiatus, nostalgia hit me hard, just walking around NV feels good, like there was a lot of love and soul put into the world. I feel like I appreciate it more now, still haven't finished it, got a lot of quests still to do and a few DLC.

Aye NV is a fantastic game. I spent countless hours on the PS3 version some years back and the PC version with mods blew me away.

As for discussion...desu I'm not as fond of DKC1 as I used to be. I replayed DMC1 recently and I fell in love with it so may change my 3x3 around if I still love it once I finish Dante Must Die Mode.

I think yours is the first 3x3 where I've seen that many racing games. Also brave for putting a COD on there, even if it is one of the best ones.

Only played Bloodborne I'm afraid. What can you tell me about Okami and Nier though? I'm pretty interested in those two.

8/8 nice 3x3

Since the sudden interest of Automata coming out theres a Nier thread every day now which is great. Nier is a pretty whacky action RPG story directed by Yoko Taro who also did the Drakengard series. Story is probably the most unique I've seen in a video game desu but theres probably weirder. There is like five endings though so if you are committed to pretty mediocre gameplay you'll be eventually rewarded with a bittersweet payoff. Idk there's probably a lot more people who can explain the appeal better than me but I picked it up in a 3 for 2 deal in like 2011 on X360. What I expected was a pretty generic jrpg but what I got was a game that was a simply fantastic experience.

Okie dokie then my man. Nier is basically a sequel to one of the Drakengard games, right? Are those similar games or entirely different?

Nier is a spin-off of the first Drakengard game's Ending E, but you don't need to play any of them before in order to understand the game. They share similar combat but the Drakengard games had aerial dragon combat which Nier does not. Nier however had the RPG elements that Drakengard never really did other than weapon collecting and upgrades.

Apologies if it's difficult to tell, the filename lists the names. I just prefer to layout the games like this, shows them off for what they actually look like, much like the way mosaics are made on Sup Forums by showing the cinematography, otherwise you might as well just post lists (which is ironic given that's what I had to do), which is fine I just prefer this style.

It's much more fluid, had an arcade like feel to it. Skill moves were a blast to use. Gameplay was balanced and game modes like FUT and Pro Clubs were at their peak. Ask any FIFA fan and they will say this or FIFA 15 are the best ones. This years game is meh, but still fun with bros.

I also enjoy putting alternate pictures rather than the cover of the game, but I also put in very small font the name of the game or the initials if its too long. Or do you think that would detract form the images?

Ah ok cheers, was a more in depth answer than I was expecting

>do you think that would detract form the images?

Yeah for me it probably would, I might try it, I know it can seem obtuse or pretentious to go for a minimalist style but fuck it I like it.

In all honesty I never mess with mods much since I usually prefer vanilla gameplay, however since Warbound is ropey at the best of times I should probably revisit that.

Can agree that FIFA 12 is good, but I still prefer 13.

Don't ask others to rate your 3x3 when you won't take the time to rate theirs.

Literally everyone pretends metroidvania is some kind of niche genre and only they're patrician enough to enjoy shitty 2D exploration mechanics

It's the perfect game for autists to put on their 3x3 to pretend they're cultured in video games and not your regular gamer xD

resident evil 4 is just a polished turd on a giant heap of shit that is the rezzie franchise

both overrated garbage heralded by rose goggled 30+ year old wageslaves, go to hell

Cool but folks can put whatever the fuck they like on a 3x3 my man. Post your 3x3 amigo.

seems like you don't like those games and insult others for not sharing your opinion

>Implying I'm autistic enough to make a 3x3

Nobody cares about my taste in video games, it's an anonymous imageboard. I'm a literal who.

Seems like you were autistic enough to post in this thread regardless

It's all about discussion and shit my bro. We're all literally who here and that's fine.

*Autistic Screeching*

That makes you doubly autistic for also posting here AND having a 3x3

Take your meds, bitch

chill out

>implying I've posted a 3x3 in this thread

that's very presumptious of you, my dear autistic user

Good luck user!

>>One of the worst Zeldas
I have a lot fond memories with TP. I loved the music and the exploration especially.

>>one of the worst FF
FFX was a great experience to me, homie. I loved the world, the music and the visual presentation of the game. I also found the combat and sphere grid to be rather fun.

>>the worst Fallout
I haven't played 1 or 2 so no comment on those. I found NV much better than 3 because I feel the story and the writing are better and the game just plays better imo. Fallout 4 is fucking shit in my opinion and is a downgrade from NV in every aspect aside from combat and graphics.

>>P4G instead of P3
I love both games but I just preferred 4 in pretty much every possible way.

>>CTR instead of Mario Kart 64
Haven't played Mario Kart 64 so I can't really say if CTR is actually any better. I do however prefer CTR to Mario Kart in general because I feel there's more skill involved. Mario Kart just seems to revolve too much around its items for my liking.

>>Xenogears instead of almost any other RPG from that generation
I liked Xenogears because it was a ridiculous ride from start to finish. Will admit I haven't played many RPGs from that generation so anything you could recommend would be appreciated.

>>MGS 3 over 2
I preferred the setting and the overall gameplay and story to MGS2.

>I've never played Xenoblade (but it looks fun)
Aye it is really fun, friend. The exploration, music, and story are pretty awesome. I recommend playing it on Dolphin if you ever have the time.

Sorry for the long response but I felt I should justify my choices. Could you post your 3x3 if you have one?

Your goal is to collect a bounty on the head of the north korean government after he executes a coup. To do this you need to collect bounties on lower level members of the military (if you kill them you get half bounty and less intel), each of who is given a "card" designation in the deck of 52 with higher value cards being worth more.
Gameplay is fun and varied with fucktons of vehicles and airstrikes which range from surgical air strikes to artillery bombardments to cruise missile strikes or FABs.
The deck of 52 is scattered around the map, which is relatively small but with four factions to do missions for and a few dozen bounties on each map (there are two) it's filled with shit to do.

Dear Diary,

Today OP was not a fag.

>enjoying EYE

It's legitimately a great game though, even if you discount the story (which actually makes sense once you finish it)

Not sure about story really but I preferred the characters, or at leas the way they interacted. I never really felt like the main cast bonded that much within the game, whereas P4's cast felt like a group of friends. Mind P4 does have the problem of everyone pretty much sucking the protag's dick within a few days.

I like 4 but Teddie and Yosuke are absolute cancer, nothing all that interesting is done with Kanji and the social links weren't nearly as engaging as 3's it has Yukiko at least.

Eh... Maybe I'll try it if I ever come across it.

Lots of characters in 4 are fucking aids though

What's the deal with EYE? All I know is pic related.

Fantastic game, shooter with some RPG elements but the gameplay is phenomenal and there are lots of ways to fuck up enemies.
>I loved it before it was a meme

Is it just a meme for the story?

A little bit, mostly the writing in the game makes it meme-worthy

Some french guys played a tabletop campaign in a really shitty and janky system they made themselves, then decided to make a source game out of it.
EYE is that game, where you are part of a super secret organization called the Secreta, which used to be a part of the galactic federations government but has since split and gone rogue. Within the Secreta there are two groups, the Jian Shang Di and Culter Dei who dislike each other quite a bit at the moment, and rumors of civil war in the secreta are spreading.
Gameplay wise it's fast and snappy as fuck with satisfying guns, a telefrag spell, a sword that makes people explode, and the ability to upgrade numerous cyberimplants, one of which allows you to jump ~20 meters in the air once it's fully upgraded.

Here we are

Is it worth $10 on Steam?
