Pandaria was World of Dailies!! I walked away from my orc warlock because I couldn't take the monotony anymore. And whoever thought of the idea that you should earn rep to use your valor...well..I do not like that person.
Skyrim is pretty awesome, AC3 was ok...Terraria was just updated. Borderlands 2 is still what I've been doing along with Torchlight 2. I recently updated my sims 3 game to Seasons, but with Windows 8 that's been glitchy at best. Civilization 5 I can spend ALL day and night on, so I only play that when I'm ill..I was going to pick up MW3 tomorrow while I'm out.
Gamer here! I grew up gaming but now with a full-time job + horror commute, I don't get to play as much... plus the games I really want to play, my husband usually doesn't want to so it's a battle for screen time. Currently I'm replaying FF8 for the gazillionth time and my husband and I are slogging our way through Halo 4's co-op on Legendary. Must say, I'm extremely disappointed in the difficulty level of both Halo 3 and 4. Way too easy.
I used to play Halo online a lot, mostly SWAT but I haven't been able to find the same kind of time to devote to Halo 4. Frankly, I've had the game for a month and haven't even tried out the multiplayer. My gaming cred is on a steep downturn.
Favourite games:
ff7, ff8, wild arms, Bioshock, RCT, The Sims 1,2,3, GTA: Vice City, Halo...
I still need to replay the ME series to get the perfect Shepard Lives ending..and perfect paragon. Apparently playing renegade just meant I was a jerk who killed all her friends.

Ha ha ha. I tried ME for about 2 hours and I just couldn't get into it (despite knowing in my core that it would be an amazing story and trying to tell myself 'be interested'). I have definitely found that FPS' instant gratification aspect has ruined me for most RPG games. Can I shoot that alien? No, I have to talk to it first, become it's friend, take it on a date, get information out of it, THEN I can kill it.
Having replayed FF7 and now in the middle of FF8 maybe I'll have developed more patience!
Anyone else find it difficult to get back in RPG's after playing FPS' a lot?
I did yea, I just wanted to kill things rather than talk. Skyrim was a nice mixture of that, so it eased me into RPG's a bit easier..plus the idea of spending a week on the couch with my orc rogue stealing sweet cakes and horses is pretty awesome.

Wow, you're a quick poster! I haven't played Skyrim but doesn't it run on the same engine as Fallout 3? Or am I just thinking it's also from Bethesda... Freaking love Fallout 3. Perfect game in everyway. I think you have convinced me to try ME again. Thanks!!!
I've wondered how skyrim or wow will run on windows 8... It's odd, I'm almost always an ahead of the game person on technology EXCEPT for operating systems.

Not really, I think I'll always be a RPG player first. Every now and then though I like to play a FPS. Believe it or not, I consider the Diablo series a FPS though.
It's on another engine. I haven't even tried to download WoW on windows 8. Windows 8 so far has turned my computer into a horrible raging maniac with HUGE headers I had to fix..I hate it so much.
I play most games on the 360 or ps3..the only comp games I have is the Sims 3 series, Star Wars: The Old Republic and WoW. I used to have Tera and Secret World..but..they were bad.
I've been playing Guild Wars 2. It's fun but for about the first 30 levels unless you read a lot of character builds and guides online, you may feel like you have no idea what you're doing. Lots of exploration, quests, crafting, world events, dungeons. And the best part, you don't have to group up with people to kill things if you don't want (except for dungeons and other instances).

I'm bad about that in MMO's. I'm very spreadsheet and build oriented because I always raided and pvp'd to win. It sort've made me an elitist jerk when it came to gaming, so I made the decision one day to just play how I wanted, then suddenly, I was nice. Weird how that happens.
I heard GW2 was good, but there was no real end game? So I never picked it up.
Skellig- PLAY Mass Effect!! It's like a shooter and a rpg made sweet love and created the perfect game!

I was a casual player for a long time on Everquest, then I started raiding, got burned out on raiding, went to a casual guild, found the fun in the game again (and my now husband). Guild drama caused us to move to WoW which we played casually, for the fun and tradeskilling. I had tried Guild Wars 1 when it first came out, but didn't like it.
My cousin encouraged us to try GW2 and we did. We enjoy it. There are dailies and World vs World pvp, there is no end game, though the last several zones are a lot of big events so quasi raiding happens. The most interesting thing to me though is the trading post, the stuff on the trading post is game wide, not just per server. My hubby and I are on Devona's Rest if you decide to pick up the game.

Nice thanks! I've been looking for a new game to occupy my time and with renovations to our house, paying $15 a month for a game I'd play one or two days for an hour or so a week is a bit much.
I never did finish the story for the Imperial Agent or the Sith Warrior and Smuggler in Star Wars, and now that it's free to play, I might just install it and finish up those quest lines.
Tradeskilling in WoW used to be fun...then it got to be a bit much in Cataclysm. 7 days for a tailoring cd? Soulbound Chaos orbs till the end? Prices of Truegold..ugh! My head hurts remembering it!
I am absolutely in love with FF13 & 13-2 (can you tell I've only been gaming a few years? Heh My bf got me into it so we could play co-op). I plan to pick up a PS2 so I can play the older FF titles as well
Other than that, I love Borderlands/2, Uncharted series, AC, any Lego games, Skyrim (which took up 110% of my time until it started crashing all the time), Fallout
There's a pile of them I'm meaning to play that I've only just started or not started. The Batman games look amazing, I have a lot of affection for Mirror's Edge (but I'm stuck at the beginning), Brink, and for a straightforward shooting guys in the face game you can't beat a bit of Killzone
