demon's souls. prob not playing anything else until dark souls.

Stories are for reading, gameplay is for playing games. Fuck cinematic, story driven games with B-movie writing and pornography-grade voice acting. No thanks.

>Oh, but, I need motivation for my character, a backstory!
Do you need a story to play chess, tennis, or poker? If the simple idea of playing a game for you isn't fun on its own, maybe you shouldn't play them at all.

I'm rather fond of the Half Life series. The first one in particular is an interesting look at storytelling through gameplay (rather than cutscenes). The second one is pretty okay in this department too, but not as much.

You're not. If you're not interacting, you're watching the game, not playing.

>> No.1644858

>>1644852
so if psycho mantis tells you to put the controller down and you do, you are somehow not playing the game and are instead watching it

>> No.1644863

also, love how you think that watching is somehow not a form of interaction

I mostly play Fallout 3, New Vegas, Oblivion, DragonAge, and the like. I recently got Demon Souls, but I haven't played much of it. I also love the Ratchet & Clank series and JRPGs.

>> No.1645348

Mass Effect 2 is my current favorite game. I'm very much looking forward to 3.

I loved playing Portal for the puzzles, and I'll hopefully have as much fun with Portal 2 when I play it.

I like to fuck around on Guild Wars occasionally.

MGS 2, 3, and 4 (never played 1 so I can't comment)
Pretty much all the GTA's are good.
Fable (never played the latest ones since I dont own a 360, but I assume they were pretty good)
Mass Effect
Dragon Age (unfortunately put it down and never played again, should probably start up again)
Ratchet & Clank
Lots of other shit
