I didn't even finish DeS, or the >> DLCs for 2. Oops I think I missed a bunch of games on that list, Oh well. I've got all the Mass Effects, but didn't really enjoy #3 and didn't buy the DLCs. Also GTA 1, 3, VC(the best), 4 and 5. 2 is apparently not available at least on PC. I probably have most if not all the Elder Scrolls games, but didn't really enjoy the majority of them. Only Daggerfall and Skyrim. I still bought or obtained them. I've got tons of Star Wars games, but that's only because I bought a huge bundle with tons of old games in it. Twice, once in a box and once on Steam (because it had a lot more for less.) Deep discounts. > Finished Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and FC 5. I liked FC, so I bought > FC4 then didn't play it -- but did put 51 hours into FC New Dawn. Blood Dragon's great, but it took a 2nd attempt to get into it. I don't know why but I found it insanely hard in the beginning the first time and gave up. Maybe after playing some more AC & FC games I got the hang of it. Primal was great and very different. I tried one of the other 'normal' FCs (I think it was given away) but quit about halfway through out of not caring and it started to feel like a slog, so haven't bought any of the others. -- -Justisaur ø-ø (\_/)\ `-'\ `--.___, ¶¬'\( ,_.-' \\ ^'
