Which game (or series) should I get? Edit: 2 Giveaways inside (kind of)

I'd appreciate it if people posting at least gave a bit of a reasoning behind why they picked one over the other, thanks!

Fallout 3 is a pretty expansive RPG so you'll definitely get your money's worth. I heard there's a chance you may need to patch it cause on some people's computers it doesn't run right? Final Fantasy VII is a thing to play solely because so many people have and it will open up a ton of pop culture references to you. Have not played far yet but from what I hear it's standard JRPG fare, but it was pretty revolutionary at the time. Don't know anything about the other 3.

I voted for Fallout 3 because imo it's the one that gives you most gameplay time (same applies to FVN). Dishonored and FF7 are good, but very straightforward. Didn't play the other 2, sorry.

It hardly depends on preferences since they all play different. If I have to suggest one I would say Ys although it may be a bit miss or hit. Those games are fairly hard action games. If you have the patience to learn patterns or to grind levels to get the final edge over the enemies then play them because the amount of satisfaction you get for finally beating that stupid boss is none to second to the here listed games. I had a lot of fun with them and will probably somewhere in the future buy the one I'm missing on Steam.
But beware two things: First, Ys I & II play different again and second those games may be torture for achievement hunters.

I voted for Dishonored but both Recettear and Fallout 3 are good choices too. Though I'd recommend New Vegas, not 3. Also if you didn't play FFVII yet, wait for the remake hits the shelves; you can wait that long too I suppose. (:

FFVII is getting a remake which will come to PC. Dishonored is soon getting a definitive edition, but that's not coming to PC. So I say get Dishonored :). I played a few hours of it so far and it's quite enjoyable.

Fallout 3 is a nice little console shooter with mild RPG elements and the usual Bethesda level painfully bland and bad story. Great dungeon crawler.
FF is hard to pinpoint since the games on Steam are quite unique and distinct in many respects. If you are new to the series, FFXIII is a good starter though since it is not a traditional JRPG but more of a combat simulator. FFVII is the most-beloved one, but it is kinda overrated, god-ugly, and the PC version… well, it didn't age well (worse than FFVIII). FFIV is also a great game, but a very old-school 16-bit era JRPG.

So I chose you Dishonored. Good story mode, good game mechanics, passable visual style, somewhat small but enthusiastic and not stupid community.

DISHONORED good story and STEALTH as well or you can have open fight as well.

Fallout 3, it's weird how immersive such a buggy open world can be. DLC's are worth the money too unlike most DLC's on the market right now.

Seems like Dishonored is in the lead, I'll leave it up for a bit longer while I study for my midterm Tuesday :)

I will always strongly recommend Fallout 3, for me that's definitely one of the best games I've ever played. The story, the gameplay, the Wasteland, and especially the music on Galaxy News Radio (Threee DAWG) make this game an unforgettable and highly immersive experience. There is also a ton of mods if you're into that but for me personally the vanilla version of the game was good enough on it's own.

You will finish Fallout 3 GOTY, then you'll finish Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition, and then welcome aboard the Fallout 4 hype train!

If you've never played FO3 and you like open-world games, its something you absolutely must play.

You know you want a FF game. Then get a FF game :) What FF game? Well, that is difficult. I would say FF VII

They're all good choices.

Fallout 3 has lots of modding potential as well as its open world. I always find something new in every playthrough I've done.

Dishonored has tons of replayability.

Ys and Recettear might be a bit niche. Recettear can get very repetitive but is still cute and fun.

I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I'm always hearing how good they are.

I would go for Ys series. Ys I & II are very old-school though, so those may not be to your liking.
Of the newer ones, I've only really played Ys: Origins. On lower difficulty levels, you'll probably steamroll right trough the combat; on higher difficulties it gets pretty brutal. Even then I found that practice, and hunting down gear upgrades made much more of a difference than level grinding.

BUMP!
