Which PC game to buy?

I would recommend Skyrim. I wasn't a fan of GW2 and Minecraft isn't really my kind of thing.

Skyrim should suit your needs.

Of those, I'd only recommend GW2 and Skyrim. Minecraft is very dependent on the user and I've never been a fan of the ME series so I have little good to say about it.

Skyrim w/mods can give you a number of different things to do outside of the normal game and are fun to tinker around with. GW2 will take a bit more time investment but if you get into raiding dungeons in can be very rewarding. It does require a min. level for most of them though, so the time investment may be too great to really sink your teeth into.

Obviously, he is asking for our input. I'm not going to comment on Minecraft and say he should not get it if it's a game that doens't appeal to me to begin with. GW2 is a game that on paper would suit my tastes but did nothing for me, but I did enjoy Skyrim, so I recommended that.

hmm.

Of the games mentioned I would likely go for Skyrim, despite it not being my favorite. I AM playing it though, my dislike for the mainquest likely painted the game so far, but the vistas tend to wow me ^^

Apart from those TC; you could look into FO3 or NV (if you haven't allready) And Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Minecraft gave me the most replay value out of those. Id say taht or GW2.

GW2 Skyrim Minecraft Mass Effect 3eric_007

Out of those, I'd say Skyrim all day, every day. That's just my opinion though.

Mass Effect 3 seems like an odd choice of "should I play this game?" Either you played the first two and are dying to finish the trilogy, or you didn't?

I'd go with Skyrim. 100+ hours of incredible gameplay.

I recommend Skyrim as well. As a vanilla game it's just a mediocre game imo, but the large mod community turned this game into a fantastic open fantasy world. Thanks to all the different mods, I still play Skyrim; the world is getting more and more interesting. It's playable in short burst as well as in long sessions. The story is really superficial, but the world should be taken in as a whole.

^^This.

I have over 20 mods going last time I checked.

- Guild Wars 2 is a game I don't care about.

- Skyrim is a great that I got bored with, but I would like to come back to it one day.

- Minecraft is a really boring game.

- Mass Effect 3 is a really great game that is part of one of my favorite game series. I have played this game on Xbox360, PS3, Wii U, and PC. So that is how much I like this game.

I will say get either Skyrim if you like a medieval style RPG, or get ME3 only if you have played the other ME games and you like sci-fi story based games with rpg elements.

Not the best list of choice but out of those choices I'd pick Mass Effect 3 just because I prefer sci-fi.

If you get ME3, make sure you play ME1 and ME2 first.

It's a trilogy.

Skyrim

I didn't have the will power to play it in short bursts though. My game sessions would at least last 3 hours.

Skyrim would take the cake out of those 4, followed by Minecraft then GW2. I won't even bother mentioning ME3 (other than right there) since I didn't bother playing it.

GW2- Haven't played this before, sorry.

Skyrim- Wonderful game. Hundreds of hours of gameplay, which can even be extended with mods.

Minecraft-Again, another brilliant game. There is no straight-forward plot to it- you just go out and survive. I recommend looking on youtube for some guides, paulsoaresjr is a great uploader for minecraft guides.

Mass Effect 3- nice game, haven't played it as much as Skyrim or Minecraft though. Another lengthy game that will keep you playing, though.

My conclusion: Skyrim.

why do people always have to chime in with 'in your opinion' these are forums so it should be obvious that they are all opinions..!!

anyway i would have to say GW2, not that the others are bad its just i think that it will last you for a few years and it will be changing from time to time, its a game you can play on your own or with other people if you like (im having fun with it)

The other games are good games too and def worth a look at some point.

what ever you choose im sure you'll have a blast

Of course everything is based off of an opinion and has some sort of bias, but its ignorant to think some people aren't being a lot more objective.UCF_Knight

Skryim is the best choice.

This is a scientific fact. :P

Of those I played only Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim.

ME3 remains one of the best gaming experiences I have had.

Skyrim remains a steaming pile of dog crap.

Out of those you listed, get Minecraft.

GW2 is a good game that will give you plenty of hours of fun but like all MMOs it gets quite boring when you reach max level.

Skyrim is the worst in the Elder Scrolls series as far as entertainment value goes, it is very boring.

Minecraft is one of those games where you just keep coming back.

I would say Minecraft if you have an ounce of creativity.

Don't even think about playing ME3 before the first two games. I will slap you 

[QUOTE="eric_007"]Hey all, While I'm sure there are many posts asking this question, I searched for this topic and was unable to find it in this forum. Pardon the faux pas if there's an entire section on what I'm about to ask. So I have a little bit of disposable time (though not a ton of it), and I'm looking for a non-subscription based game to spend my limited disposable time on. I have it narrowed down to three titles, which all look excellent, but I'm torn. The games I'm considering are: GW2 Skyrim Minecraft Mass Effect 3 I realize that the comparison of these games is not really an apples-to-apples comparison; GW2 is an MMORPG, while Skyrim is more of a single player RPG, for example. That's the reason I'm having the hardest time quantifying each game's overall play-ability, because I'm not restricting it based on the type of game it is. I'm looking for a one-time purchase, that will give me a lot of quality play-time, but won't require a huge time-investment to enjoy it. I want to be able to play it whenever I feel like it, be it 20 minutes or a few hours at a time. I'm hoping to avoid suggestions like, "if you want to play with friends, pick an MMORPG," and the like. I am hoping to find some thoughtful suggestions on which game I should choose based on the merits of the game itself. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions you guys may have! Regards, Ericrobertoenrique

All the games listed there are terrible and you should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting them, n00b.SKaREO

I will say the time you were away made the forums decent. :)

I would personally buy Skyrim and Minecraft, both of those are crazy addictive, especially with mods (especially with Skyrim). But those are all good choices and you can't go wrong with either choice really.1-UPking82

THIS

Out of all of those games, the ones I find myself coming back to time and time again are Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Both fantastic games with a ton of replay value - not that Guild Wars 2 and Mass Effect 3 don't have that, but if you want to spend a lot of time I recommend those two.
