I've watched some dying light footage and it looks pretty good, sunset overdrive is not my cup of tea. although I like concept of watchdogs i've seen so many stupid glitches which just ruin the game for me. Although I have x 360 I never played Halo or gears of war before. Started Gears but I'm just not sure about the game mechanics story seems just ok. Metro you mentioned looks pretty good, I don't play huge amount of FPS but I do like it sometimes. Also nearly forgot assassings creed is one of the series I like, also might take a plunge and get fable (I quite like RPGs). Also I've just got my Fallout 4 today would people recommend playing trough 3 first or jump into 4 straight away???
The
Fallout games have no link to each other, really. Also, the first two are PC-only and VERY different experiences. Oh, and
Fallout 4 is the 5th or 6th game.
Fallout 3,
New Vegas, and
4 are similar games, but the rest are quite different. Those 3 are all separate stories with no real connection beyond the generic concept of setting, so you'll be fine without touching the others.
Assassin's Creed, might as well wait for the rumored bundling of the old games. I really liked the first game, but the second bored me incredibly, then I heard how they totally butchered the story starting with
AC3, and I didn't bother going beyond
AC2. If you like that series, you might look into
Dishonored: Definitive Edition, as it's sort-of like a first-person
Assassin's Creed. It allows for a good deal of choice and freedom in aggression, stealth, and physical vs. magic interactions with enemies. I know someone who really likes the
AC series, and she considers
Dishonored one of her favorites ever.
Watch_Dogs, I don't follow. I don't remember running into bugs. Not sure why people warn of that. It's a very cheaply purchased game now, I imagine. It's sort of like
GTA, but with a smaller scope and a better story. I can't stand
GTA, but I liked
Watch_Dogs pretty well.
Halo, you get a decent story from
The Master Chief Collection. Stick to playing the campaigns if you buy it, unless you enjoy the headache of slow, buggy multiplayer.
Gears has an OK campaign, but the third game's story is pretty annoying. The first is definitely my favorite in that series, the second's fine, and the third is something of a joke, at least with the character Dom. I can't stand him in the third game.
Dying Light, I can't recommend enough. Movement, combat, story, it's all well-done. They're about to release it with the DLC in February, and it sounds like that DLC is a MASSIVE story addition. I'm considering getting it, but $60 to buy a game I half-finished a year ago is tough.
Ryse is one of the games i was considering but wasn't sure about storyline, but for ?15 i might just get it now. Yea I had xbox 360 although I never played it much for some reason. Also I did hear great things about telltale games especially walking dead and game of thrones series (plus i'm huge fan of waking dead and song of Ice and Fire)
Ryse is so old, you might as well hold out for a GWG release. It's also $15 with DLC at Toys R Us in the States this week, to give an idea of its value. It shouldn't be long before it's free.
Telltale's hard to recommend or not. I don't like their non-game style of games, where you really just get aimless walking, a few quick-time events, and some dialogue. That, and I don't like the subjects of their games--
The Walking Dead,
Game of Thrones and
Borderlands are all negatives, but that's in my book.
