    I have no idea what to play!

    It's ridiculous!

    I have nothing that interest me in Wow right now, so I've been trying to find a new game that could get my attention at least until Legion gets released. But here's the thing - I can't find anything!

    The problem is not that there are no games, the problem is that I just can't seem to find one that have what I'm looking for.

    Now, I've been trying quite a few of them. Here's the list of the games I didn't like:

    • Tera: Gameplay is clunky at time and there's a lot of farming.
    • Aion: Old and Clunky
    • Rift: I loved the game when it was released, but I just can't stand underwater content, hence the current expansion is a no-go for me.
    • Trove: It was fun a few dozen of hours, but now I'm bored.
    • Skyforge: The amount of farming in this game is huge O.O
    • Path of Exile: Great idea, I went through the story once, but the end-game doesn't really interest me (same for Diablo)
    • The Secret World: The game seemed interesting but I don't like the post-apocalyptic context.
    • The Elder Scrolls Online: I like the concept, but I've never really been a fan of the Elder Scrolls (beside Skyrim), so I have a hard time investing myself in the game.
    • Everquest 2: I've only tried recently. It seems to have a lot of things I'm looking for, but I can't get past the completely horrible graphics. I'm a 3D Artist and this is... it's too much. I just can't.
    • Archeage: It seemed so interesting, but the lack of polish and the weird quest storyline isn't really my cup.

    Here's a list of games I liked:

    • World of Warcraft: I wouldn't be there if I didn't. The movements are fluids, gameplay is responsive. I loved spending almost 6 months leveling a character to max level when I started at the beginning of Wrath. I also liked the Wintergrap concept and Tol'Barad to a certain extent. I like the dungeons and the battleground, but I hate raiding and arenas.
    • Guild Wars 2: Really fluid combat, the game is oriented a lot on exploration (I have World Completion at 100%) and spent several hundreds of hours on my Warrior. The story can be a bit... well, meh at times, but overall it's very good. I didn't do max level dungeons nor fractals as I'm not really interested in that type of content.
    • Wildstar: Great combat, great universe. It's just a shame that almost everybody left the game when I was still leveling. I would've probably hit max level had the population been higher. I plan on playing back when the game gets F2P though, but since it's not for anytime soon...
    • Destiny: I'm hyped for the Taken King! Once again, I'm more interested in the leveling process than the end-game itself, but I spent a few dozen hours on it.

    I know I shouldn't expect any magical game to appear in front of me. But at this point, even if I just spend some time looking at games rather than playing them, I'll be happy.

    You should try something that isn't an mmo. The genre is going downhill, the only one I ever see with consistent positive feedback (which is much more important then number of subs) from the PLAYERS is ff14.

    Go play a different genre, even if you didn't like them before, ya never know, maybe you got better at video games and it was be different, tastes changed, etc.

    I recommend single player games for a change. Some nice story games like RPG, Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inqusition, GTA5, MGS5 next month, Rocket League and much more.

    you gotta try ff14 then man. I held off for the longest time, and just gave it a go finally. I haven't even logged into wow since picking it up. Absolutely loving it.

    So many classics in there... it's incredible. I played most of them though. I won't lie, I almost opened my 3Ds to replay Ocarina of Time.

    Also tried FFXIV, but for some reason I can't seem to attach myself to it. I have a marauder that is almost level 30... well, it's not completely out of the picture. I know I'll replay at one point.

    I'm really sad that the MMOs are dying. This is by far my favorite game genre and I think I'm still in denial. How could we let it die!

    Witcher 3 is one of the most incredible game I've played this decade, even though I prefered the 2nd installment. I loved DA:I too and I tried to play the first after, but I can't get into it. GTA5 I played through both on PS3 and PC. I'm definitely interested in MGS5 and I'll definitely buy it next week!
