Become the cyberpsycho you were meant to be

runescape + guild wars + bugs + taxes = new world

The story is just as good as RDR1, if not better in some places. There are tons of side content and hidden details to explore, most of which are available towards the very beginning (hence a lot of people spending weeks on Chapter 2 alone). Graphics and soundtrack are both phenomenal, with the latter reacting to even the slightest changes in character/environmental behavior (e.g. a darker motif playing when you perform a dishonorable act). The guns all feel and sound great, with even more versatility in loadouts being introduced once you unlock dual wielding early in the story.

Online is surprisingly fun, mostly because the toxic player base of Rockstar online games prefers flying around on missile launching bikes in GTA. Probably the biggest anti-griefing measure added in RDO is the fact that the in-game map doesn't show other player blips until you are nearby, preventing people from being able to ride across the map to ruin your day just because. There are still hackers here and there, but they usually make themselves known pretty quickly so all you need to do is hop lobbies to avoid them. The roles are pretty fun for the most part, with trader and collector being the best methods for making money by far.

One of the best online looter shooters out there. The guns handled pretty well with a controller back in the D1 days, but they feel 10x better with a mouse and keyboard in D2. Graphics are spectacular as per any Bungie game, and the game is also optimized very well. Starting from scratch can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers to the series, but there are plenty of guides/tutorials available that give a pretty good idea of which pursuits to go after first.

The most beginner-friendly entry to the series by far. Combine Souls-esque combat with loot treadmill mechanics from Diablo/Destiny/etc and you get Monster Hunter. Many beginners will get discouraged at the first hard monster (Anjanath) but you just have to learn his moveset and work around them (like most of the harder monsters later on).

Soccer with rocket cars.

Great WWII game, steep learning curve but probably the most satisfying tank gameplay.

I can't believe I'm saying this but this game might actually be better than Skyrim. The story is really good and the combat system is a lot more fun than Skyrim's combat. A++++++ 10/10 would recommend to friend

Very innovative and interesting RPG. Soundtrack is amazing and the Narrator sounds like Morgan Freeman's long lost son. Definitely a buy.

Really good zombie game. Basically the co-op fun of Left 4 Dead mixed with customizable weapons and survivor missions from Dead Rising mixed with skill trees and combat from Borderlands.
