Love condemned! Great list of games. Some of these are my favorites! I’ll have to see if I own all of these and if not I’ll have to search before they go up even more! I haven’t played many of the Kinect games but I’m curious if that one is good too.
Jen should play condemned, it's an awesome horror survival game that is mostly melee combat and it's backwards compatible on the newer xbox condemned 2 is on 360 but its not backwards compatible oddly enough, and Scott should play fallout 3 or New Vegas both are backwards compatible.
Condemned has been a strong recommendation in the comments. I think I'll have to go with that. Considering how much love it's getting I doubt I'll be disappointed. I kind of think we both need to play Fall Out New Vegas. I don't want to watch the netflix series until we do lol
Deadly Premonition is great, has a twin peaks feeling, great atmosphere, characters, definitely worth the playthrough. It is a bit clanky in terms of gameplay though. And yes it's been re-released on the Switch as Deadly Premonition Origins.
Oh snap. I had no idea it had a re-release on the switch. That's amazing!! I'll probably still end up playing it on Xbox 360 since we have it that way, but if I enjoy it I might pick it up on the switch as well.
That's right, it did come out on newer consoles. If it has a little bit more content and is a little bit more forgiving it makes sense to play it that way. Thanks for the recommendation
Deadly Premonition is so bad it's good! That whistle song has stuck with me for life lol. The story and characters are actually cool but the combat is buns.
I've played a few games like that. The best one that comes to mind is an OG Xbox Exclusive, Armed and Dangerous. The game play was nothing special but the humor was off the charts. The graphics were so bad they were good!
A lot of people have been giving this high praise. I don't mind a janky game If it has everything else going for it, which it sounds like this one does. I guess I'll have to play this one after condemned. It sounds like a blast!!
@@nathanstreilein758 I played a little bit of splatterhouse but haven't had the chance to finish the rest. What I did play of it I loved. Just good old fashioned chaos and mayhem, kicking all sorts of ass!
With Darksiders, they are each takes on various franchises, 1 is a take on God of War, 2 is a take on Zelda, 3 is a take on Dark Souls, and Genesis is a take on Diablo! 😁
That's super interesting! Totally see the God of War take in the first one, so I'm definitely excited to get to the rest and compare them to how you described them :)
@@RetroRivals I’m reluctant to say it’s like House of the Dead, but maybe in the way you are presented new enemies? These are the kinds of games where I thought the Kinect excelled. It was not 100% accurate for me but the experience was different enough I couldn’t care less. I was able to get immersed even with lights on.
Scott should definitely play Sniper Elite while he can. I had a blast with those games. Jenn should check out either Condemned or Deadly Premonition because it’s a game famous for being so bad it’s good! Great list and video you two! Miss you guys and hope you’re having a great weekend!
Scott and Alex actually started playing Sniper Elite yesterday and can't wait to play more tonight. Both Condemned and Deadly Premonition are getting high praise in the comments. Looks like I have my picks. We miss you both so much too! Please give Leanne a hug from me and tell he I said hi :)
I couldn't praise Condemned: Criminal Origins enough even if I tried. It's absolutely fantastic, albeit a bit cheesy with some of the crime elements, in my opinion. However, in terms of mechanics and its ability to scare, it's truly outstanding. Definitely worth your time. :)
So many people raved about it in the comments I didn't even wait and ended up playing it Saturday night and finished it Sunday afternoon. I certainly understand all the praise. Phenomenal game! Much better than most of the survival Horror games they're putting out now.
The age of the 360 finally dawns! Man have people ever been sleeping on this system for way too long. Some awesome choices here: can't wait to see which ones you both get around to in the year-end recap :)
Saw I & II are awful games. So is Spectral Force 3, unfortunately. The only reason it's expensive is because it's an Atlus title. My copy of Deadly Premonition is still sealed that I picked up for $10 way back in the day - good, weird game. Blue Dragon is bland. Condemned is AMAZING! The 2nd one is just as great! Magna Carta 2 is from the makers of Stellar Blade. Only the Xbox Live Marketplace is going down. The multiplayer servers will remain online indefinitely. Scott should play Lost Odyssey, Jen should play Condemned 1 and 2.
I kind of expected them to be cringe. I loved those first two Saw movies so I'll probably at least dabble though the suck lol Yeah, I'm not surprised by Spectral Force 3. You can throw Atlus on any game and make it expensive. I think I HAVE to play Condemned. Too many people are recommending it. Scott started playing Sniper Elite with Alex. He was worried he wouldn't be able to but glad to hear we should be fine for the foreseeable future.
It’s the perfect time to play fallout new Vegas with the Amazon show being out. In fact, play new Vegas first then watch the show, so you can point at the tv when you see callouts to the series.
I commented on your Twitter… Red dead Redemption. I’ll finally play The Last of Us, when you start Red Dead Redemption. Btw, thank you for all your videos. Everyone I watch motivates me to be a better gamer and I can’t thank you enough.
Oh that is so damn sweet of you to say! I'm just happy if we inspire anyone to play games because more than anything at the end of the day that's what we want for the community. Collecting is fun, but gaming is funner! You're right, I need to play Red Dead redemption. I hear it's a goddamn masterpiece so that's a deal sir. However, I got to play through condemned first
OMG JENN PLAY DEADLY PREMINITION LOL! It is one of those games that is sp bad it's good. Think of it like a B-Movie video game. I literally laughed my ass off while playing it cause the dialogue is so ridiculous
Jen- Deadly Premonition! Twin Peaks vibes and old school awkward video game dialogue. It’s such a strange game. I’ve only made it through the first couple of hours and I’m intrigued. Catherine is cool too but I agree with another comment about playing the updated version instead. Scott- I’ve only played it for a few hours but I’m going to say Fallout! My personal favorite is 3 but I know New Vegas is really popular. They are fun western rpgs.
I've already downloaded the game to the console and I'm ready to play it! Stupid adult responsibilities haven't allowed me to start it yet but I did finish condemned and it was amazing. Lots of love for Fallout here too. I keep going back and forth on whether we need to play the game first or watch the series first.
Alien isolation scares the crap out of me. I played a bit of it back when it originally released and I need to play the rest of it. That and Resident Evil 7 for me for the worst but I got to Resident Evil 7 finally. Played condemned already and loved it. While I didn't have it on the darkest settings I was in a dark quiet room with a sound blasting! Definitely scary and creepy!
Thanks for the shoutout! Deadly Premonition is one of the greatest and dumbest games of all time! Go into it with the right mindset, and you'll have a great time This is a collection of bangers! Nier is also an absolutely incredible game... just be careful of one of the endings... it will delete your save file😅
I have watched your video right before we filmed this and then forgot for a steady week to put a comment 🤣🤣 It's just how I roll. I finished playing condemned because it was the one people mentioned the most but right up there with that was deadly premonition and I have it download it on the console from the disc and I'll be starting that today. Someone else mentioned Nier as well and gave really compelling information on why Scott should play it. Sounds like a really fun game...... But deleting the save file part not so much... 🤣🤣🤣
We got lucky with Blue Dragon and found it for a great price. Although Scott had heard it was really good so we picked it up early in our big collecting phase. Catherine is a bit of an acid trip and I hear from people in the comments. It plays better on PS4 so I might look for it that way
Lost Odyssee is also in my need to play stack. As for recommendations I only played fallout new Vegas. It’s a great game and a true rpg with lots of interesting choices to make. You can be truly evil or good or anything in between and join several factions all with their own backgrounds and interactions among each other in the wasteland.
Lost odyssey is a great game like many rpgs it over stays its welcome and is a touch more difficult then the standard rpg but nothing you cant handle. Condemned is literally a scary game way scarier then resident evil for example, blue dragon has great art but I didnt love. Catherine is def a unique play the puzzles can be frustrating but when you do beat them it is rewarding. Great list have fun!
Just got done playing condemned and I told Scott had I played it 4 years ago it would have scared me to death. I'm a little desensitized now from games like re7 so while it definitely legitimately scared me a few times It more gave me this constant state of unease and tension. Punching way above its weight class compared to survival horror games today. I'll definitely be getting things Scott heads up a bit Lost Odyssey. He's almost an old pro at RPGs now so he might enjoy the challenge. Thanks so much for the great comment and suggestions on what to play first.
Oh, oh my, Scott, you need to start with Lost Odyssey. It is, in my opinion, Hironobu Sakaguchi's masterpiece (as long as we're not talking mobile surfing games...). It nails the balance between high intensity action and mono no aware/existentialism. I remember the ads back in the day with Jefferson Airplane playing in the background and they absolutely did not do this game justice. Jen, you need to go with Deadly Premonition. I've actually written about it before, but it is an... Interesting survival horror experience, partially because it pulls so much from Twin Peaks as inspiration. Just be aware that it's an interesting game in spite of its controls, not because of them. (Also, survival horror is totally my thing, as well - we should talk, especially after you two sent Generation Pixel that copy of Parasite Eve!)
Yeah lots of people are saying Lost Odyssey for Scott to play as well. Been hearing it's a little bit challenging but Scott doesn't mind challenging RPG. I actually ended up playing condemned but I do have deadly premonition booted on the system and ready to start when I have a chance. At the very very latest I'll be playing at this weekend :) Always down to talk survival horror!
@@RetroRivals Lost Odyssey is 100% worth the challenge - Go, Scott! How is Condemned? I've played the first little bit, but never actually went back to it, despite meaning to. On that note, I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Deadly Premonition! Also, I would love to discuss Parasite Eve more, or maybe some Clock Tower, considering the remake of the SFC original is coming out soon...?
@@MakopoweredGaming I absolutely loved condemned if I would have played it 4 years ago. I would have been terrified but it was still creepy and atmospheric but a great first person shooter as well. There's really nothing I can complain about with the game. It was a great recommendation. I'm really excited to get into deadly premonitions. I assumed I would have played some of it by now, but adult responsibilities have gotten in the way. The remake of what is coming out??
@@MakopoweredGamingThat's so cool! We went to limit it run and it's actually coming out for pre-order at the end of the month on literally everything. I will 100,000% be getting that. I haven't played the one on the SNES or super famicom but I did play the PS1 sequel and I really really enjoyed it.
I need to play Darksiders II, also. I really liked the first. I've heard great things about Condemend. I know Jenn just played it, was it good? Naughty Bear looks hilarious. I've heard good things about Nier. I want to grab it soon and try it. I've heard good things about Catherine, but I couldn't get into it. Maybe I should try it again.
Condemned was so good! I find myself very disappointed lately in survival horror games with them being just atmospheric without really any survival aspects. This one was a call back to classic survival horror for me or at least classic for the time. It was really good!
So many games i haven't played here. Deadly Premonition 1 and 2 are on Switch too. I have them. I played first one little bit and it seemed pretty cool. Well mostly the atmosphere. It's kinda Twin Peakish style. Gameplay wasn't the greatest but i think you play those mostly for their quirkiness. I need to go back to that at somepoint.
I'm playing deadly premonitions right now and while I'm enjoying it, maybe I should have played it on the switch. I wonder if there's any fast travel options for when I'm driving around. I wonder if I would have benefited from watching twin peaks first. You guessed it another TV show I haven't seen 🤣 It certainly is quirky and all sorts of crazy, but as a woman I enjoy that. 😜🤣🤣🤣
I'm actually playing condemned right now! I'm on chapter 7 of 10 and I'm loving it. I think we both should probably play fallout because I really want to watch the series, but I want to play one of the games first. Great suggestions
Fallout New Vegas has a great main story, prolly my favorite between that 3&4. Deadly Premonition is god awful, and also a must play lmao. You’ll love Condemned tho, so f’n good! I gotta play Catherine & Lost Odyssey at some point as well, both look amazing. Great video guys!
I think you described deadly premonition perfectly for me. Because I've been playing it here and there and some days I'll have a blast with it and other days I'm waiting at the clock to do something at between 15:00-17:00 and it's goddamn well 7:00 a.m!! 😆😆🤣. I actually played through condemned. I literally started it the night we put out the video and finished it the next day. Such a great game!
Lots of great games here again! You guys have a sweet 360 collection. I am sure you are happy you were grabbing these when they were very cheap unlike everyone now. 😂 Condemned is one I have been needing to get around to as well. Nice choice for your next playthrough Jen. As a fan of the Fallout series I would agree with Alex. New Vegas is probably the best written of the 3 mainline games released by Bethesda. Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are very buggy though so save often. 🤙🏻 Catherine was a fun game and it was so weird to me it gave me odd dreams while I was playing it. 😂
We missed the PS2 boat and had to pay up for some of them so we made sure to be diligent with PS3 and Xbox 360. Finished Condemned this afternoon. Did not disappoint! I think Fallout needs to be a must. Great suggestion on the saving because that would make me rage!!! I totally can see Catherine giving someone weird dreams. It's different!
Don't you burnt out on those rpgs? I was playing Nioh 2 and had like 50 hours in, when I had enough of it. Not even halfway, I want to see some progress. As years goes by I feel like I prefer short games more and more.
For myself, I enjoy a shorter game for sure. I'm totally there with you. I'll play the odd turn-based or action RPG, but then I need a pallet cleanser, a short game, something not so involved. A good hack and Slash, metrovania or awesome horror game. Scott, on the other hand only played those and just recently got into RPGs. Oddly enough, he never really feels burnout from them, but sometimes it bothers him how few games he can play in a year because they're so lengthy
I freaking loved it! So many people had raved about it in the comments. I played it immediately Saturday evening after the video came out and finished it up on Sunday. I was not disappointed
A very good lists of games! Scott you have to play Fallout New Vegas. I agree with your son, it's the best Fallout game! The story and lore are awesome! Do not be intimidated by the size of the open world because you don't need to do it all to complete the game. But I would say that some of the side missions are really good! As for Jen, you should go with Darksiders 2 as it's the favorite of the series for the majority of people who've played it! There is a Darksiders 3 with a female protagonist but the top down one you were talking about is Darksiders Genesis and you can play Coop! I think that would cool that your next game you have to play be the ones that have the most votes in the comments! Great video and keep up the good work!
I think we both need to play Fall Out. I don't want to watch the series until we do. I know I'll love Darksiders 2. If it's anything like the first one it'll be great. Thanks so much Dan. Appreciate the love :)
@@RetroRivals I forgot to mention that it's Roaming Dan. I've rebranded my entire channel (just missing the new banner) for a new idea of what I'll be doing going forward!
Nier is such a great game and cult classic, the gameplay its not the best. However theres quite a bit of interesting story behind Nier as a franchise. Nier (360/ps3) is actually Nier Gestalt, Japan got Nier Replicant. Finally few years back we got a Nier "remake" on the xbox1 and ps4. But its actually the Japanese version that we didn't get, Nier Replicant. Nier is a must play game, the story telling and world building is amazing, it a game that leaves you question what is the meaning of life. If anything Nier Replicant would be the vest place to start, follow by Nier Automata an amazing sudo sequel. Nier (360) is still worth playing, but it might turn people away from an amazing franchise. Interestingly enough you can play Nier (Gestalt) via BC and Nier Replicant on the series x. Both are essentially the same game, but you play as Papa Nier on the 360 ver and Brother Nier on Replicant. Games also require about 3 playthroughs to see it from multiple slides and understand the world.
That's good to know for when Scott gets into the Nier Franchise. We have Replicant just not Automata yet but it's pretty cheap. Sounds like it's certain worth getting it for the rich storytelling. Love that in a game.
@@RetroRivals No problem. Something I didn't mention, Nier Automata was made by platinum games in collaboration with the Nier team, and they also helped with the combat on Replicant. So if you guys like action games like Bayonetta, Devil may cry, MGS Revengence, that's the kind of combat Replicant and Automata have, among being RPGs.
New Vegas is top tier Fallout 👌 Blue Dragon is like if Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest had a baby, and is one of the few games that firced me into buying an Xbox 😂 Lost Odyssey is considered the true Final Fantasy XIII. Ive yet to play it. I must get around to it. Sniper Elite V2 was remastered for the PS4 👍 Fallout New Vegas first for Scott, and Catherine for Jenn 😎👍
Bahahaha, now we know why you went green. Sounds like a good reason! The boys actually started playing Sniper Elite. They are LOVING IT! I think the tribe has spoken and I gotta play Condemned but I'm interested in picking up Catherine for PS4.
Fallout New Vegas is very fun, it took me a while to get the hang of it but once I did I played every fallout game in a few months…I played the condemned game, I beat it in one day which is very rare for me. It was really good for about 4 hours then was just ok. Lost odyssey. I bought it and tried it for a while then sold it, not for me. Not like normal JRPGs…I’m trying to find Alice the Madness game but I waited too long and now it’s expensive.
Oh wow, I had no idea Condemned could be beat one day. I might try to plow through that one then. Even if it only is okay towards the end, as long as it's half decently fun I could probably find some enjoyment in it. That's too bad about Lost Odyssey. Kind of makes me wonder how Scott will feel about it. Oh shoot, you haven't been able to find Alice yet! Yeah I see that it's going up. I'm not surprised. Hopefully you can snag it for a good deal soon.
@@RetroRivals condemned takes about 6.5-7 hours, I pulled an all nighter and beat it, my hands were on fire near the end. Alice the madness returns seems to be only for sale in Canada, put in a good word for me from the Canucks!
@@charlieb308 How about this Charlie, if I can find a copy locally I'll send it your way. I just want people to be able to play the game. It's amazing. Does 360 or PS3 matter? It's on both
@@RetroRivals I would like it on Xbox then I can play it on my series X, for some reason all the for sale copies don’t have the manuals, I think dudes get hungry and eat them! That would be great, if you see a copy at local store, I’ll pay you for game and shipping. Thanks.
@@charlieb308 We will definitely be heading to Parlour Pawn at some point this weekend. I'll check. It was there just recently so fingers crossed the resellers haven't snatched it up yet!
Transformer Devastation: They delisted this game on PS and Xbox. You cannot get this game unless it's physical. I got this for $10 on Whatnot. NBA JAM is another delisted game as well. Take a note of that. It's an EA game and so the licensing between NBA and EA has expired. Armor Core 5 (ps3 and 360 only) Dreamcast Collection Splatterhouse (ps3 and 360) El Shaddai (ps3 and 360) Knights Contract (ps3 and 360) On the digital front. Guardian Legend which is on Sega Saturn. This game is stuck on the digital until it's close. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is digital only. No physical. Majority of 360 multiplaform games are cheaper on 360 than ps3 counterpart. PS3 store is open for now and it was very controversial when it was about to close.
Thankfully we picked up a lot of those already. Definitely want to pick up those delisted games before they get ridiculously expensive. This might be a dumb question but is Guardian Legend on the Sega Saturn a remake of the NES one or completely different. Yeah I don't think we will see the Xbox 360 store decide not to close but now would be a good time to collect those PS3 games that we almost missed out on while everyone is paying attention to XBOX 360
@RetroRivals that's awesome haha. He's good people. Been friends for a long time as well. We used to have original xbox Lan parties at his house. Great content. Consider me subbed! 😉
I REALLY REALLY want to play Darksiders 2. I love a good hack and slash. Just gets out all the rage! I know Scott would really enjoy Nier. We got one more 360 video in us and then we're gonna put out out versus video and Skies hopefully.
For the games you should play, I would say Catherine, Darksiders, Fallout New Vegas, Blue Dragon (never played it but was interested but don't have a 360), Condemned, and try deadly premonition because I want to see a video where you talk about it.
I'm actually in the middle of playing condemned right now because so many people recommended it. After I started playing it though, so many of the comments said play deadly premonitions so I'm going to play that too. I think it would be fun to talk about them both. I totally agree 😊
I will play Witcher 3 on Xbox 360 just as soon as they make it 🤣🤣🤣😂 But in all honesty I really want to play it but the time sync scares the bejesus out of me
@@RetroRivals hahaha I’m losing my mind, it was such a long time ago when I played it I thought it was on the 360 lol ok for you you should play Deadly Premonition
@@TheRampageTulk Deadly Premonition is actually happening! So many ppl load it for condemned and deadly premonition that I felt like I needed to play both of them. I have It download it from the disc on the console and I'll be starting it tomorrow.
As you should for sure! We try to research our games before we buy them, but in the off chance we buy games that just aren't for us. We trade them towards something we'll like at our local pawn shop. Certainly not a bad hoarding games that are never going to get played.
Lost Odyssey 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice! I see lots of love for that one. Have to move that one up the list
Love condemned! Great list of games. Some of these are my favorites! I’ll have to see if I own all of these and if not I’ll have to search before they go up even more!

Jen- Deadly Premonition! Twin Peaks vibes and old school awkward video game dialogue. It’s such a strange game. I’ve only made it through the first couple of hours and I’m intrigued. Catherine is cool too but I agree with another comment about playing the updated version instead.
Scott- I’ve only played it for a few hours but I’m going to say Fallout! My personal favorite is 3 but I know New Vegas is really popular. They are fun western rpgs.
I've already downloaded the game to the console and I'm ready to play it! Stupid adult responsibilities haven't allowed me to start it yet but I did finish condemned and it was amazing.
Lots of love for Fallout here too. I keep going back and forth on whether we need to play the game first or watch the series first.
Condemned is a cool game . Alien isolation did it for . Play condemned on the darkest settings for best experience
Alien isolation scares the crap out of me. I played a bit of it back when it originally released and I need to play the rest of it. That and Resident Evil 7 for me for the worst but I got to Resident Evil 7 finally. Played condemned already and loved it. While I didn't have it on the darkest settings I was in a dark quiet room with a sound blasting! Definitely scary and creepy!
SCOTT IS RIGHT DEADLY PREMONITION 2 IS ON SWITCH
Well damn! If he knew that he should have bought it for me already LOL
Thanks for the shoutout!
Deadly Premonition is one of the greatest and dumbest games of all time! Go into it with the right mindset, and you'll have a great time
This is a collection of bangers! Nier is also an absolutely incredible game... just be careful of one of the endings... it will delete your save file😅
I have watched your video right before we filmed this and then forgot for a steady week to put a comment 🤣🤣 It's just how I roll.
I finished playing condemned because it was the one people mentioned the most but right up there with that was deadly premonition and I have it download it on the console from the disc and I'll be starting that today.
Someone else mentioned Nier as well and gave really compelling information on why Scott should play it. Sounds like a really fun game...... But deleting the save file part not so much... 🤣🤣🤣
I want blue dragon so bad lol. Catherne is also on my to play list
We got lucky with Blue Dragon and found it for a great price. Although Scott had heard it was really good so we picked it up early in our big collecting phase. Catherine is a bit of an acid trip and I hear from people in the comments. It plays better on PS4 so I might look for it that way
Great video, I'm gonna check to see which games are on Playstation
There's more than a few of them on PS3. I should have mentioned which ones are exclusives.
Lost Odyssee is also in my need to play stack. As for recommendations I only played fallout new Vegas. It’s a great game and a true rpg with lots of interesting choices to make. You can be truly evil or good or anything in between and join several factions all with their own backgrounds and interactions among each other in the wasteland.
Oh I didn't know that about Fallout New Vegas. Your description gives me some Fable 2 vibes.
I love the Fallout games, I've started New Vegas a couple of times and it hasn't clicked.
Scott should give it a go, as should I👍
I think we both want to try it. I want to play it before watching the series and Scott wants to do the opposite because of course he does
Lost odyssey is a great game like many rpgs it over stays its welcome and is a touch more difficult then the standard rpg but nothing you cant handle. Condemned is literally a scary game way scarier then resident evil for example, blue dragon has great art but I didnt love. Catherine is def a unique play the puzzles can be frustrating but when you do beat them it is rewarding. Great list have fun!
Just got done playing condemned and I told Scott had I played it 4 years ago it would have scared me to death. I'm a little desensitized now from games like re7 so while it definitely legitimately scared me a few times It more gave me this constant state of unease and tension. Punching way above its weight class compared to survival horror games today.
I'll definitely be getting things Scott heads up a bit Lost Odyssey. He's almost an old pro at RPGs now so he might enjoy the challenge.
Thanks so much for the great comment and suggestions on what to play first.
Oh, oh my, Scott, you need to start with Lost Odyssey. It is, in my opinion, Hironobu Sakaguchi's masterpiece (as long as we're not talking mobile surfing games...). It nails the balance between high intensity action and mono no aware/existentialism. I remember the ads back in the day with Jefferson Airplane playing in the background and they absolutely did not do this game justice.
Jen, you need to go with Deadly Premonition. I've actually written about it before, but it is an... Interesting survival horror experience, partially because it pulls so much from Twin Peaks as inspiration. Just be aware that it's an interesting game in spite of its controls, not because of them. (Also, survival horror is totally my thing, as well - we should talk, especially after you two sent Generation Pixel that copy of Parasite Eve!)
Yeah lots of people are saying Lost Odyssey for Scott to play as well. Been hearing it's a little bit challenging but Scott doesn't mind challenging RPG.
I actually ended up playing condemned but I do have deadly premonition booted on the system and ready to start when I have a chance. At the very very latest I'll be playing at this weekend :)
Always down to talk survival horror!
@@RetroRivals Lost Odyssey is 100% worth the challenge - Go, Scott!
How is Condemned? I've played the first little bit, but never actually went back to it, despite meaning to. On that note, I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Deadly Premonition! Also, I would love to discuss Parasite Eve more, or maybe some Clock Tower, considering the remake of the SFC original is coming out soon...?
@@MakopoweredGaming I absolutely loved condemned if I would have played it 4 years ago. I would have been terrified but it was still creepy and atmospheric but a great first person shooter as well. There's really nothing I can complain about with the game. It was a great recommendation. I'm really excited to get into deadly premonitions. I assumed I would have played some of it by now, but adult responsibilities have gotten in the way. The remake of what is coming out??
@@RetroRivals Oh, sorry, the remake of the Super Famicom Clock Tower - it's being made by WayForward, so I am very hopeful!
@@MakopoweredGamingThat's so cool! We went to limit it run and it's actually coming out for pre-order at the end of the month on literally everything. I will 100,000% be getting that. I haven't played the one on the SNES or super famicom but I did play the PS1 sequel and I really really enjoyed it.
I need to play Darksiders II, also. I really liked the first.
I've heard great things about Condemend. I know Jenn just played it, was it good?
Naughty Bear looks hilarious.
I've heard good things about Nier. I want to grab it soon and try it.
I've heard good things about Catherine, but I couldn't get into it. Maybe I should try it again.
Condemned was so good! I find myself very disappointed lately in survival horror games with them being just atmospheric without really any survival aspects. This one was a call back to classic survival horror for me or at least classic for the time. It was really good!
So many games i haven't played here. Deadly Premonition 1 and 2 are on Switch too. I have them. I played first one little bit and it seemed pretty cool. Well mostly the atmosphere. It's kinda Twin Peakish style. Gameplay wasn't the greatest but i think you play those mostly for their quirkiness. I need to go back to that at somepoint.
I'm playing deadly premonitions right now and while I'm enjoying it, maybe I should have played it on the switch. I wonder if there's any fast travel options for when I'm driving around. I wonder if I would have benefited from watching twin peaks first. You guessed it another TV show I haven't seen 🤣
It certainly is quirky and all sorts of crazy, but as a woman I enjoy that. 😜🤣🤣🤣
@@RetroRivals i would say that if you had seen Twin Peaks first, it probably would provide more entertainment value for that game.😄
Need more of you two in my life.
I should have bought the house next door!! Damn missed opportunity!
Condemned! For Scott i say Fallout, cant go wrong with that. Put it in the Series X for 60 fps.
I'm actually playing condemned right now! I'm on chapter 7 of 10 and I'm loving it. I think we both should probably play fallout because I really want to watch the series, but I want to play one of the games first. Great suggestions
I picked up Rise of Nightmares recently. I agree the Kinect is a gimmick but I'm also excited to play that game. 😂
It's hard not to want to play it. It's the only horror game they ever made for the Kinect.
So true! And it's fun to play something so different once in a while.
@@easymodenerd agreed 👍 I'm all about mixing it up this way I don't get tired of one genre. Surprisingly I've only played 2 horror games this year
Love those horror games! I gotta play those Saw games.
I just finished Condemned.....so good!!! 👍
Fallout New Vegas has a great main story, prolly my favorite between that 3&4. Deadly Premonition is god awful, and also a must play lmao. You’ll love Condemned tho, so f’n good! I gotta play Catherine & Lost Odyssey at some point as well, both look amazing. Great video guys!
I think you described deadly premonition perfectly for me. Because I've been playing it here and there and some days I'll have a blast with it and other days I'm waiting at the clock to do something at between 15:00-17:00 and it's goddamn well 7:00 a.m!! 😆😆🤣. I actually played through condemned. I literally started it the night we put out the video and finished it the next day. Such a great game!
Lots of great games here again! You guys have a sweet 360 collection. I am sure you are happy you were grabbing these when they were very cheap unlike everyone now. 😂 Condemned is one I have been needing to get around to as well. Nice choice for your next playthrough Jen. As a fan of the Fallout series I would agree with Alex. New Vegas is probably the best written of the 3 mainline games released by Bethesda. Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are very buggy though so save often. 🤙🏻 Catherine was a fun game and it was so weird to me it gave me odd dreams while I was playing it. 😂
We missed the PS2 boat and had to pay up for some of them so we made sure to be diligent with PS3 and Xbox 360.
Finished Condemned this afternoon. Did not disappoint!
I think Fallout needs to be a must. Great suggestion on the saving because that would make me rage!!!
I totally can see Catherine giving someone weird dreams. It's different!
Don't you burnt out on those rpgs? I was playing Nioh 2 and had like 50 hours in, when I had enough of it. Not even halfway, I want to see some progress. As years goes by I feel like I prefer short games more and more.
For myself, I enjoy a shorter game for sure. I'm totally there with you. I'll play the odd turn-based or action RPG, but then I need a pallet cleanser, a short game, something not so involved. A good hack and Slash, metrovania or awesome horror game. Scott, on the other hand only played those and just recently got into RPGs. Oddly enough, he never really feels burnout from them, but sometimes it bothers him how few games he can play in a year because they're so lengthy
Love your videos.
Aww, thanks so so much. That is very kind of you :)
I'm late commenting here lol but Darksiders 2 is an amazing game and y'all definitely should give that one a try if you haven't already
Haven't played it yet but if it's as good as the first one I know I won't be disappointed. That is awesome to hear ☺️
Condemned is so good!!!!
I freaking loved it! So many people had raved about it in the comments. I played it immediately Saturday evening after the video came out and finished it up on Sunday. I was not disappointed
A very good lists of games! Scott you have to play Fallout New Vegas. I agree with your son, it's the best Fallout game! The story and lore are awesome! Do not be intimidated by the size of the open world because you don't need to do it all to complete the game. But I would say that some of the side missions are really good! As for Jen, you should go with Darksiders 2 as it's the favorite of the series for the majority of people who've played it! There is a Darksiders 3 with a female protagonist but the top down one you were talking about is Darksiders Genesis and you can play Coop! I think that would cool that your next game you have to play be the ones that have the most votes in the comments! Great video and keep up the good work!
I think we both need to play Fall Out. I don't want to watch the series until we do. I know I'll love Darksiders 2. If it's anything like the first one it'll be great.
Thanks so much Dan. Appreciate the love :)
@@RetroRivals I forgot to mention that it's Roaming Dan. I've rebranded my entire channel (just missing the new banner) for a new idea of what I'll be doing going forward!
@@DanofWar101 yeah I thought it was you 😃. Definitely intrigued by the new name to see what you do going forward.
Nier is such a great game and cult classic, the gameplay its not the best. However theres quite a bit of interesting story behind Nier as a franchise.
Nier (360/ps3) is actually Nier Gestalt, Japan got Nier Replicant.
Finally few years back we got a Nier "remake" on the xbox1 and ps4. But its actually the Japanese version that we didn't get, Nier Replicant.
Nier is a must play game, the story telling and world building is amazing, it a game that leaves you question what is the meaning of life.
If anything Nier Replicant would be the vest place to start, follow by Nier Automata an amazing sudo sequel. Nier (360) is still worth playing, but it might turn people away from an amazing franchise.
Interestingly enough you can play Nier (Gestalt) via BC and Nier Replicant on the series x. Both are essentially the same game, but you play as Papa Nier on the 360 ver and Brother Nier on Replicant. Games also require about 3 playthroughs to see it from multiple slides and understand the world.
That's good to know for when Scott gets into the Nier Franchise. We have Replicant just not Automata yet but it's pretty cheap. Sounds like it's certain worth getting it for the rich storytelling. Love that in a game.
@@RetroRivals No problem. Something I didn't mention, Nier Automata was made by platinum games in collaboration with the Nier team, and they also helped with the combat on Replicant. So if you guys like action games like Bayonetta, Devil may cry, MGS Revengence, that's the kind of combat Replicant and Automata have, among being RPGs.
New Vegas is top tier Fallout 👌
Blue Dragon is like if Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest had a baby, and is one of the few games that firced me into buying an Xbox 😂
Lost Odyssey is considered the true Final Fantasy XIII. Ive yet to play it. I must get around to it.
Sniper Elite V2 was remastered for the PS4 👍
Fallout New Vegas first for Scott, and Catherine for Jenn 😎👍
Bahahaha, now we know why you went green. Sounds like a good reason!
The boys actually started playing Sniper Elite. They are LOVING IT!
I think the tribe has spoken and I gotta play Condemned but I'm interested in picking up Catherine for PS4.
Fallout New Vegas is very fun, it took me a while to get the hang of it but once I did I played every fallout game in a few months…I played the condemned game, I beat it in one day which is very rare for me. It was really good for about 4 hours then was just ok. Lost odyssey. I bought it and tried it for a while then sold it, not for me. Not like normal JRPGs…I’m trying to find Alice the Madness game but I waited too long and now it’s expensive.
Oh wow, I had no idea Condemned could be beat one day. I might try to plow through that one then. Even if it only is okay towards the end, as long as it's half decently fun I could probably find some enjoyment in it.
That's too bad about Lost Odyssey. Kind of makes me wonder how Scott will feel about it.
Oh shoot, you haven't been able to find Alice yet! Yeah I see that it's going up. I'm not surprised. Hopefully you can snag it for a good deal soon.
@@RetroRivals condemned takes about 6.5-7 hours, I pulled an all nighter and beat it, my hands were on fire near the end. Alice the madness returns seems to be only for sale in Canada, put in a good word for me from the Canucks!
@@charlieb308 How about this Charlie, if I can find a copy locally I'll send it your way. I just want people to be able to play the game. It's amazing. Does 360 or PS3 matter? It's on both
@@RetroRivals I would like it on Xbox then I can play it on my series X, for some reason all the for sale copies don’t have the manuals, I think dudes get hungry and eat them! That would be great, if you see a copy at local store, I’ll pay you for game and shipping. Thanks.
@@charlieb308 We will definitely be heading to Parlour Pawn at some point this weekend. I'll check. It was there just recently so fingers crossed the resellers haven't snatched it up yet!
Transformer Devastation: They delisted this game on PS and Xbox. You cannot get this game unless it's physical. I got this for $10 on Whatnot.
NBA JAM is another delisted game as well. Take a note of that. It's an EA game and so the licensing between NBA and EA has expired.
Armor Core 5 (ps3 and 360 only)
Dreamcast Collection
Splatterhouse (ps3 and 360)
El Shaddai (ps3 and 360)
Knights Contract (ps3 and 360)
On the digital front. Guardian Legend which is on Sega Saturn. This game is stuck on the digital until it's close.
Hydro Thunder Hurricane is digital only. No physical.
Majority of 360 multiplaform games are cheaper on 360 than ps3 counterpart. PS3 store is open for now and it was very controversial when it was about to close.
Thankfully we picked up a lot of those already. Definitely want to pick up those delisted games before they get ridiculously expensive.
This might be a dumb question but is Guardian Legend on the Sega Saturn a remake of the NES one or completely different.
Yeah I don't think we will see the Xbox 360 store decide not to close but now would be a good time to collect those PS3 games that we almost missed out on while everyone is paying attention to XBOX 360
@@RetroRivals so sorry, it's Guardian Heroes. My bad. I got them mess up.
You guys live in Moncton, NB? I know Randy G. at Nerdful Things.
Yes we do!! We've known Randy a LONG time. I have many of his tshirts and one of his CDs. Good guy right there 👍
@RetroRivals that's awesome haha. He's good people. Been friends for a long time as well. We used to have original xbox Lan parties at his house. Great content. Consider me subbed! 😉
Naughty Bear!🐻
It's so cheesy and corny and out there. I know I have to play it this year!
Make this short n sweet:
Scott > Nier
Jenn > Darksiders2
Is there too much 360 on YT at the moment?! 🚂🤪
I REALLY REALLY want to play Darksiders 2. I love a good hack and slash. Just gets out all the rage!
I know Scott would really enjoy Nier.
We got one more 360 video in us and then we're gonna put out out versus video and Skies hopefully.
@@RetroRivals looking forward to the VS vid 👀
@@gib84gaming4 We had a lot of fun with it.
For CZcams content wise, deadly premonition will make for a good video.
Will you like it? Debatable. But it will be funny.
For the games you should play, I would say Catherine, Darksiders, Fallout New Vegas, Blue Dragon (never played it but was interested but don't have a 360), Condemned, and try deadly premonition because I want to see a video where you talk about it.
I'm actually in the middle of playing condemned right now because so many people recommended it. After I started playing it though, so many of the comments said play deadly premonitions so I'm going to play that too. I think it would be fun to talk about them both. I totally agree 😊
Ok for Scott : Lost Odyssey. It is epic! Jenn: The Witcher 3. Yes that’s right, I’ve given you both RPGs 😂 See you in hell!
I will play Witcher 3 on Xbox 360 just as soon as they make it 🤣🤣🤣😂
But in all honesty I really want to play it but the time sync scares the bejesus out of me
@@RetroRivals hahaha I’m losing my mind, it was such a long time ago when I played it I thought it was on the 360 lol ok for you you should play Deadly Premonition
@@TheRampageTulk Deadly Premonition is actually happening! So many ppl load it for condemned and deadly premonition that I felt like I needed to play both of them. I have It download it from the disc on the console and I'll be starting it tomorrow.
@@RetroRivals Yes! And condemn was a great great game. I think it was a launch title with the 360 it was one of the first games I played on it
I only buy xbox 360 video games that I want to play
As you should for sure! We try to research our games before we buy them, but in the off chance we buy games that just aren't for us. We trade them towards something we'll like at our local pawn shop. Certainly not a bad hoarding games that are never going to get played.
