Another shout for Dishonored...better than Bioshock infinite imho.
Two words: Bioshock Infinite.
I try to go through a series when I have a holiday. You said ME3 so I'd say play ME 1 2 and 3. Good times.
If you've played The Walking Dead, season 2 is meant to be out this month. I suggest this as I think the story is something you'll remember, your guidance of Clementine.
Why is Dishounred not on your list?
Deffo my GOTY, tis really worth a play, it's been a while since a game had me playing it thru multiple times![]()
Mockingbird said:BL2 is ace but I do not think of as a session game in the same way - it's a game to play long-term, spread over months and months (and months) of an hour at a time.
You won't regret infinite![]()
Far Cry 3
Borderlands 2
TW: Shogun 2
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Dark Souls
Fallout NV
Assassin's Creed IV
These are my votes, hard to pick only three
Shogun 2 and Fallout are both heavy time sinks, you will be playing them for ages, so maybe not the best idea! And Dark Souls can take quite a long time to complete on first play through, but it one of the best games this generation (in my opinion...).
Out of those six, my final choices to play over Christmas would be:
Far Cry 3
Assassins Creed 4
and
X-Com
Now, these might not be the best games, but they are a varied selection which offer up great single player experiences that you should be able to complete![]()
Dark Souls would be my choice of the ones I've played from your list, none of the others consumed me in the same way, it's rare for me to be so into a game these days but Dark Souls had me completely immersed for very long periods, to the point where I was forgetting time and playing all night, 8 hrs would seem like an hour.
Do you still think it's a viable choice with no controller? Upthread it was made to sound... cumbersome with M&KB.
I wouldn't even entertain the idea of playing it without a controller, an XBOX 360 wired or wireless controller works perfectly with the game.
Yeah, this does put me off.
Largely because I hate controllers. Just don't get on with them. I know I've had no practice, but I am really all over the place with them. Can't coordinate characters in 3D space with them at all.
I play most things with M&KB first, even those designed for controllers. Things like Darksiders are a bit tricky, but I found I got used enough to them to manage.
What I'm hearing about Dark Souls, though, seems like it's rather different kettle of fish...
Don't play ME3, it's not a patch on the previous 2 games and piddles on all the decisions you've made, the ending is woeful too.
