Any game recommendations for me?

[VioletLynx]

So I've been raised on the good-old childhood video games; Mario, Zelda, Pokemon... I love these games a lot and I'm super comfortable and happy with them, but I've been getting a little bored with them, too. I'm starting to get into Borderlands, though, and I'm loving it! (...even if there's a bunch of guns and guts and gore in it, which is a big reason why I prefer kids' games...) But I want to expand more and play more games. Are there any you would recommend to someone new to the bigger world of gaming?

PS: I hope your recommendation has tons of adventure in it

If you like adventure, I'd definitely recommend the Uncharted series (PS & XBOX). Sure, it has guns but... that's about it. There's A LOT of adventure and it's really quite fun. I'd like to also suggest the following: Assassin's Creed Series (Specifically Black Flag), Skyrim (PC & PS3), Crysis Series (PC), and, if you like horror games, the Resident Evil franchise.

Now... for "Kid's Games", I'd suggest Fantasy Life (3DS). It's a little bit of Animal Crossing, Final Fantasy, and Skyrim. Minecraft is also pretty good too. Oh, if you're interested in games that are similar to Call of Duty, Plants vs Zombies is definitely the game for you!

the game is literally just called ADVENTURE I think that says it all

If you want a vast exploration adventure game try either skyrim or The Witcher 3.

What consoles do you have?

Here are some that I would recommend:
Sonic Adventure
Shadow of the Colossus
Journey
Tales of the Abyss (I'm assuming you have a 3DS)

Uncharted seems cool and I have Plants vs Zombies, it's one of my fav puzzle/strategy games

I already have Splatoon :> and I agree!

If you have a Nintendo DS Lite, I cannot recommend the Golden Sun series more highly! I love it so much! It's a fantasy turn-based RPG with the first two games as GBA cartridges, and the third is a DS game. You play four (later eight) teenagers with magical powers trying to stop the end of the world, battling monsters and baddies, solving puzzles, and there are so many wonderful side quests! The animation is kinda blocky for most of it, but the summons and battle backgrounds are GORGEOUS. They're not too expensive on Amazon, or at Game Stop, and I adore it so much. Also, so many of the characters are just made of sass, and it's so funny.

I second Golden Sun, great series. If you're into turn based RPGs you should try out the Dragon Quest franchise, Bravely Default, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Child of Light. Final Fantasy 3, 5, 10, 7, 8, and Type-0 are great games. Just be careful with FF games because they're usually a hit or miss.

If you're into fun colorful games there's the Katamari franchise, Chibi-Robo, Pikmin, and Kirby games. Yo-Kai watch is coming out in November and it's basically pokemon with a more Studio Ghibli-esque art style. Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are really fun post-apocalyptic first person games. Mirror's Edge is an incredible first person 3D platformer, and I haven't played the sequel but I heard it's also great.

Anyway you should really look into some of these.

 

[Bosca]

Omg yes, Katamari series is one of the most fun and colourful! The King of all Cosmos is so evil..in a good way ofc.

The First two games are good but they are PC only. They are also very time consuming and the second one requires a decent PC to play.

Seeing as you have a PS3, why not try Kingdom Hearts?
It's a cute game where you travel around to different Disney worlds and help those characters out (although the story is pretty tragic).

There's a whole lot of cut scenes though, so maybe consider it an immersive movie.

Maybe try Harvest Moon? It's as relaxing as Animal Crossing but has a farming and a bit of romance.

Games by Level-5 are nice too. I'd recommend Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney as an easy entry point to both series. Fantasy Life is a nice rpg if you still want to continue playing if the main storyline is finished. Ni no kuni is apparently quite good as it's a collaboration with Studio Ghibli.

-I'd also suggest Skyrim (Elder Scrolls). There are blood effects in the game, so if you're not a fan of blood, there's a mod you can get for it (literally called "No Blood"; I use it because I'm not a fan of the blood effects in games, either).

-If you like puzzle games, the "Trine" series is a good indie one. Not much replay value unless you're going for all the achievements or want to try to do the levels as another character, unfortunately.
"The Book of Unwritten Tales" is a lighthearted and humorous point and click puzzle game (I believe it still has a demo version if you're unsure).

-Portal and Portal 2 are a must-play. No blood or gore in them, and particularly the sequel has unforgettable characters which has had me replay the game; Portal 2 is one of the few puzzle games I've ever replayed. There are also fan-made levels to try out and co-op mode if you have a friend to play with.

-If you're into RPGs or want to try an MMO out, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has probably the best story I've ever encountered in an MMO (and even many video games). It does have a sub fee, though, but I believe it also has a "try before you buy" sort of deal going on.

-As someone else said, you might enjoy Kingdom Hearts (and the sequel).
