Probably Dark Souls for me.

Although I did really enjoy Oblivion, too.

Pillars of Eternity or The Witcher

I swear this is the first time I've seen you in Gaming

It's a really disturbing sight. Every time I see him here I feel unclean.

The Tales Series

The earlier games in the Fable Series will always hold a place in my heart. The series's lore was always really interesting to me.

Warcraft 3

the reason dark souls sucks has nothing to do with its difficulty or combat, though

more the fact that it allows (and encourages) you to attempt to screw over other players without their consent
and if you don't like it, you're supposed to just "play offline", and miss half of what makes the game so supposedly good

That's hardly a game-breaking mechanic, since you don't have to restore your humanity.

I didn't say it was game-breaking--I just don't really consider that great design.

Well it's not like you're going to give somebody consent to screw you over.

Sure you are. That's the whole point of fighting games (for example--I'm not saying Dark Souls is a fighting game). When you set up a lobby in Street Fighter, you're asking for people to fight you. And if you get beat up, that's on you.

In this franchise, you get dragged into it unless you play offline. That's garbage.

Well then what else makes Dark Souls suck?

That.

Just because a game sucks, doesn't mean it's broken. That's a little extreme.

Just understand my terminology--if I say something "sucks", it just means I don't like it, that's all.

Fighting =/= being screwed over

Sure, you won't always get screwed over. That doesn't really change anything, though.

You're also forgetting the misleading hints that you can place down to trick players into doing something stupid.

I don't care how obvious the traps are--the fact that the game allows you to even do that is insane, in my opinion.

You're right, though--it doesn't make the game "bad", but it sure as hell doesn't help my enjoyment of it.
The fact that I can't trust my fellow player not to be a moron sounds like the opposite of fun to me.

PvP and messages are like the only worthwhile things of online; if you don't like either of those things, then you may as well just play offline since you aren't missing anything.
