Started playing Child of Light, and this game is so good, 2/3D side scroller platformer with RPG elements... So, throwing another copy of Child of Light out there, uhhh, Send me a PM on here with what game I am playing now that I find ridiculously stupid hard, and if more than one person gets it, I will do a /random :D

Does anyone know of any great 3D platformers that are recent? I miss the days of Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie... you know, the big, overwhelming 3D platformers that have multiple things to do in a level, multiple paths, collectibles, arbitrary # of stars locks on doors, etc.

Seems like the last one I can remember was one of the last Ratchet & Clank games but I'm craving something similar.

The Uncharted series is pretty awesome, though it has a bit more combat than platforming at times.

This is also not a platformer. It seems to me like the spirit of the platformer just became the third-person action/adventure genre, which is very sad :(

Like, even Jak & Daxter suddenly become third person action instead of platformer.

There really aren't any released anymore, yeah :T
Also Child of Light looks pretty cool, will have to pick it up eventually.

bastion is not a platformer and is barely 3D

That voice sounds familiar...



Not a platformer, but well worth checking out if you like your strategy games more slow-paced and cerebral.

I'm guessing you've played Mirror's Edge? Otherwise I recommend Trine 1 and 2. They're not 3D, but they have plenty of collectibles, decent combat, and the visuals are fantastic.

If you're OK with something more combat-centric, I picked up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow a while ago and it was really enjoyable. Had a surprising about of platforming in it. Nothing difficult, but very enjoyable thanks to the scenery porn. There's a hell of a lot of replayability too, and the VA is great. That game gets an unfair rap.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.

Although the gender-switching men could partially talk the talk, they completely failed to walk the walk. The researchers found that all the men in their study moved around in a very different way than the women. The men moved backward more often, stayed farther away from groups, and jumped about twice as much as the women did. When it came to moving around, the men behaved similarly whether they gender-switched or not. So if you’re trying to figure out if that female Night Elf is really a man, focus on how they move around. As study author Mia Consalvo, a professor at Concordia University, says, “movement is less conscious than chat, so it can be an easier ‘tell’ for offline gender.”
