    After seeing your first three, I am especially interested in seeing what your full list will look like.

      Editing … I wish we could take David Cage's vision and ambitions and transplant them into someone with talent :p

      Editing … Any chance you could give some reasoning for them? David Cage I suppose is obvious, as is Dear Esther, Skyrim isn't for everyone (for me it's about the immersion in a new world, few games succeed on the same level), Cities XL has terrible performance... why Mafia II? (and it'll be fun to read your other reasons too)

      Editing … Did you perhaps have the endless glitches with Mafia II, like I had? I think it had tons of problems with AMD cards or something :p - now that I have an Nvidia card, it's a shame I might not have a glitchy experience if I were to return. The bugs were so numerous, it added a level of silliness to the game.

      Editing … Okay | Dear Esther: One of the most pretentious experiences of my entire life, and I've watched Tarkovsky. David Cage Power Hour: Horrible stories for both, Indigo Prophecy wins by virtue of being bat shit insane. Skoorum: Boring & it's hard for me to consider it an RPG at all. I mean what's the bloody point of it all if you can do what ever the fuck you want? Cities XL: Ugly game & just a bad City Builder. Mafia II: I just don't fucking get it. The story feels just bits of better mafia narratives like The Godfather and Goodfellas mashed together, the game to me has nothing that makes it its own. And the gameplay's third person cover shooting mechanic is beyond boring and tedious.

      Editing … Doing whatever the fuck I want is just why I love Skyrim. I guess that sort of games appeals to me, if I'm super hyped for No Man's Sky. I mean, Skyrim is what made me buy a gaming system.

      Editing … That probably sounds like I'm fighting you. "Fuck you, it's NOT YOUR LEAST FAVORITE." But like, I like other people's opinions.

      Editing … tbf when I say "do whatever you want" I mean in terms of class creation. There's no point to do so in Skyrim because it lets you do whatever you want - that was the games stupid selling point. To me that seems so weird for an RPG - really your either stealth character cause stealth is absolutely broken in this game like it is for all Bethesda games or guy who uses weapon and also magic cause lel. Also i hate how enemies don't scale to you level, making random exploration in the beginning (unless you lower the difficulty) seem almost like punishment - never forget Frost Troll.

      Editing … The enemies do scale to your level, though. Certain enemies won't scale down that far though, because there's gotta be a real sense of progression. Loot scales to your level, too :)
