Which of these games should I play next?

[danzibr]

I *finally* just beat Fallout 3. My wife got me the game several years ago, picked it up a couple weeks ago (don't get much time). So... onto the next game!

I have quite a few games I either barely started or haven't touched. And here they are (in no particular order):

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Condemned 2: Bloodshot (I liked the original)
Demon's Souls
Dragon Age: Origins Awakening (beat the main game several years ago)
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2
Folklore
God of War
God of War 2 (I think these 2 were bundled)
God of War 3
Golden Axe: Beast Rider
The Last of Us: Left Behind (accidentally got the stand alone version >.>)
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Also for Wii U I have Resident Evil: Revelations.

So... any of these games stick out as fast and fun? Any long and boring?

Out of all those, my personal preference would be for Arkham Asylum. I consider it better than the sequels (which moved to a GTA style "open city" which I found greatly detrimental to the experience), and I believe it to be the best Batman game ever made. The combat is fast and fun, to the point that other games using that system are said to be using "Arkham-style" combat. The stealth is also excellent, and really gives the feel of scaring the utter crap out of mooks.

Demon's Souls is also excellent if you're a Souls fan, but the only thing to be aware of is that there's certain rough edges that exist due to it being the very first in the series.

DA: Inquisition is great for the characters and has a decent plot, but suffers from merely okay gameplay much like the rest of the Dragon Age games. It's also really long, so I'd be inclined to stick it on a back burner and knock out the shorter games first.

My vote goes to Arkham Asylum and/or God of War. I never played past the second God of War or the third Arkham game though. In the case of Arkham Origins (third in that series, though it's actually a prequel to the others), it just felt like a not-quite-as-good version of the second game Arkham City. And God of War 2 I stopped because a friend was moving away soon and wanted to play it before he left, so I lent it to him, and had moved on to something else by the time I got it back.

The Arkham games are very good (minus Arkham Knight), so that'd be my top recommendation. Demon Souls is also a very good game, though it can be rage inducing like all Soulsborne games, which would be a close second recommendation. Prepare to spend some time with them though.

The GoW games are also highly received, though I've had very bad luck trying to even get them to start so can't personally comment on the enjoyability of them.

Beast Rider I've heard is just a bad game all around.

Operation Racoon City is mixed. Some people like it, some people don't. It's also short. I managed to beat it in within a day (about 10 hours I think)

RE: Revelations is good. Still need to beat that myself actually.

The rest I can't really comment on.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I imagine I'll go Batman. The brief while I did play it, I enjoyed sneaking around whaling on dudes.

Dunno how much time I'll have though. My wife's back into CoD, takes from my precious little game time, and I've been grinding up Karna on SFII on my son's file, and I'll probably get back into WoW soon.

Still, there oughta be enough time in there for one more brief-ish game.

Avoid everything with Souls in the title then. Those games are a lot of things, but brief isn't one of them.

Arkham Asylum is definitely what you want then. It's fairly short, unless you obsess over getting every Riddler trophy. DA:O Awakening is also fairly short, and is very good as well, especially if you have a Warden that survived the first game. Do you have the other DLC for DA:O? They're also all very good, excepting maybe Darkspawn Chronicles, which isn't canon. The suggested order is to do Leliana's Song, then Awakening, then Golems of Amgarrak, then Witchhunt. I would 100% recommend doing Witchhunt at least. I noticed you didn't list Dragon Age II. Did you already play it? If not, it's really not as bad as everyone says, I would quite recommend it. Combat is halfway between DA:O and Inquisition, the characters are still good, only trick is not choosing your main characters' backstory.

Sounds good!

I have a couple of the DLC's. I forget which ones. Definitely have Golems of Amgarrak (that ones lets you get the ex-Dwarf chick Golem?). Dunno about the others.

I don't own II. Dunno if I will get it. Maybe... hmm, maybe at some point I'll start DA:O from scratch, then do Awakening, then II, then Inquisition. I played as a beater but made some pretty bad plot choices.

Golems of Amgarrak is a new minicampaign, not the one that adds onto the base game.

Actually Demons' Souls is pretty short.

Fallout 4

(Beast Rider is terrible.)

I believe you're referring to The Stone Prisoner, which is integrated into Dragon Age: Origins' plot. Like others have said, Golems of Amgarrak is a separate mini-plot you import an existing character to or make a new one.

I don't mean to be rude, but can anyone tell me more about importing the game to Origin? I have it on disc, but it looks like I'm no longer able to access some of the stuff I used to have via the BioWare site.

Ahh, I see.

Hmm, I can't help with the import question, but that's totally not rude :P

Gah, I just realized this was the wrong thread! Sorry! :smallembarrassed:
