Out of those, none really, maybe Skyrim. Overall, Battlefield 3 and Mass Effect 3. And Hitman: Absolution. Got Blood Money a week ago, my god is it awesome. Tell us more about Absolution already! Saints Row 3 and the new Deus Ex are on the sidelines. And, since I'll already be bankrupt, I'll throw in Gears 3. Oh, and Arkham City. And...
Choices and consequences, mixed in with epic story and great characters. A huge world to explore is just the icing on the cake. I'm gonna piss off a lot of people here, but for me, loot, stats, and all that stuff, it doesn't matter, it just makes it boring. Hell, Dragon Age 2 had too much number-crunching for me, and it is supposedly 'dumbed down' beyond belief. Surely a Role-Playing game is all about playing a role? Immersing in the world and its characters, changing the world by your actions, etc. Numbers and stats and all that crap just gets in the way, I find. It's boring, it breaks the immersion. That's why, for my money, Mass Effect 2 is better than Mass Effect 1, and why traditional 'beardy' rpgs and MMOs are pretty much unplayable. What does everyone else think?
