Yeah - I'm playing borderline ####### as I played pretty much straight paragon last time.

Just answer how you feel. Dont try to force yourself one way or the other. Youll be surprised the different options that come up. Just invest in the dialogue skill early to get those extra choices for paragon and renegade.

Just finished Dark Souls - very good.
Next up is either Dragons Age, Sleeping Dogs, Demons souls, or Saints Row 3.
I've got all these through either sales or games with gold. Any recommendations?
Honesty I want to play the Southpark game, but not willing to drop $40 on it.

I'd say demons souls but I think a change of pace would be wise. Dragon Age.
Mad Cow
Welshers and Dawdlers Beware!
So my entire family is gone for 10 days. Get back on the 15th. I have a crapton of games in the backlog. Which do I go for? These are all PC.
Play more BF4
Batman Arkham Asylum/City/Origins (I have all 3, barely started Asylum)
Finish FO:NV
Finish Max Payne 3 (maybe 75% done)
AC 2
Bioshock 2
Spec Ops: The Line
Dragon Age: Origins
I have easily 160 games in my Steam that I have never touched, that is a mere sampling. Will take suggestions.

Fallout New Vegas is my favorite on that list followed by Arkham Asylum which I preferred over Arkham City.
I will say I thought spec ops was garbage. It was preachy and contrived and the gameplay was a mess. I kept hearing how profound it was, but I felt like it was a waste of 6 hours to finish.

Spec Ops: The Line will only take a fraction of your available time.
I'd say finish FO:NV or Max Payne 3 but if you weren't into them enough to keep playing in the first place, it might not be worth it for you to pick them up. I usually find that if I wasn't motivated enough to keep going, there's a reason.
Given you known predilections, I'd say you should do Dragon Age: Origins.

It wasn't preachy - at least any more preachy than Heart of Darkness or Apocalypse Now to whom it owes its storyline. I thought it was a graphically enjoyable game with decent gameplay.

I think I'm going to Watch Dogs and finally pick up a copy of Mass Effect. Never played it despite everyone raving about it, and you can get all three for $30 a Gamestop.

I don't know which system you play, but the ME trilogy is on sale this week on PSN for $15.

That's a very solid list.
I rank Batman Asylum/City/Bioshock 2, FO:NV and AC2 are all on the same level in one way or another. They have their pros and cons but IMO you can't go wrong with any of them.
Someone once told me that flipping a coin is the best way to choose anything, not because it gives you the answer based upon whether it lands heads or tails rather once the coin is in the air you instinctively root for the answer you are looking for. As there are no 5 sided coins (or dice) n this case I would use an online random number generator. You'll realize which one you really want to play.
DA:O is an excellent story driven game but IMO the mechanics were at times painful and I put it below the others because the actual gameplay was lesser than the others, even if the story was excellent. I kind of liken it to a better version of KOTOR, awesome game in it's time but today you better be playing because you love a finely crafted story.
I own both Max Payne 3 & Spec Ops and haven't played either yet but if you're gonna jump into Spec Ops but if you are up for some co-op play PM me and I'll gladly jump in.

Ive been avoiding this game because I know I can go into a sleepless hole for days with something like this. 10 years ago, I would have played this game for a month straight.

Looks like turn based that allows you to manipulate EVERYTHING. You can position nephews in power to over throw neighboring territories. Marry off nieces to gain favor. Raise kids to be heirs or neglect them and watch them grow and plot your demise. Im barely scratching the surface. Those that played could explain it better.

Also looking at that PS3 Mass Effect Trilogy it is missing a few Dlc that makes it more interesting. Arrival, Omega, From Ashes, and Citadel. Still to get everything its only $40. If I never played Mass Effect thats a ridiculous deal for about 120 hours of the best gameplay Ive ever experienced. I paid a total of $250 on this series between all the games and DLC and have not been more entertained.

FYI - The Dark Souls free download on xbox live is the original unpatched version.
They are working on an update.

Meh. I'll believe it when I see it. They do the same garbage every year releasing a cgi trailer and when it comes time to play, nothing has changed.

Did you see the tweet that compared Kapernick to last year? I started laughing it looked so ridiculous.

Link to Madden trailer? Not that I'm buying the hype, but you all got me curious.

Just google it.I'm with bigmarc but I wont say I wasn't impressed. Not so much the graphics but the fluidity of the player movement was impressive to me.

It never is.
Two game companies with which I never believe their trailers and screenshots are Sony and EA.

So say I haven't played a football game since the year David Carr was picked by the Texans. I know I'll be blown away by the graphics. But how is the expected franchise mode been in the maddens lately? What about the AI and sliders? That was always my issue. I always wanted a more traditional football feel and got tired of crazy high scores or ridiculous flying DBS.

It's weird about Madden. Everybody ####s on it for being unrealistic and praises The Show for being a great game.
I've now played the show 8 times and have been able to draw 1 walk from the computer. It's totally ridiculous. Madden is 1000x more popular so it'll get more criticism but some of these games are getting free passes.

plenty of people draw walks in the show. Just cuz you suck at the game doesnt make it unrealistic. If you swing at everything youre not gonna walk.
i suck at the game too so not criticizing. Madden ####in blows. People criticize it cuz it sucks. Lob it up deep every play. Game is way too easy on all pro, way too hard on all madden.

God you can be thick. You really think I'm getting up there hacking and then wondering why I can't draw a walk?plenty of people draw walks in the show. Just cuz you suck at the game doesnt make it unrealistic. If you swing at everything youre not gonna walk.
A simple google search will show you many have the same problem.

Gracias.
Also, woa, if that's ps4 game footage, that is SICK and really pushing me to invest in the new system....

Have you played the last few years? Lobbing it up deep play after play hasn't been viable for a long time now.plenty of people draw walks in the show. Just cuz you suck at the game doesnt make it unrealistic. If you swing at everything youre not gonna walk.
I know it's cool to rag on madden, and their exclusive deal shuts out competition, which angers people. But it's a pretty solid game of football today. It still has flaws - for me, it's overall player control. I feel disconnected from the game as compared to all pro football 2k8, which is still my favorite overall football game. But Madden has come a long way in gameplay. And you can get it to as close to sim as possible w/ the sliders.

Not offended. Legitimately shocked.
Just messing around. In one game I spent 4 straight innings where I went up to the plate and took at least 6 pitches. I almost never saw the 6th pitch. Never took a walk.
