One finds that this is the best of all possible worlds.
I have a ton of games I haven't started yet or never finished. Which one should I kick off the new year with?

The truth of the matter is that I will abandon whatever game I start for WOW.

Alien Isolation - just got it, haven't started
GTA V - played for about 2 hours, haven't gone back
Bravely Default - I have never finished a JRPG
Sunset Overdrive - haven't started
Dragon Age Inquisition - haven't started. Have not played the previous ones
Pokemon whatever the new one is - I have never finished a Pokemon game. See Bravely Default.
Far Cry 4 - haven't started
DOTA 2 - have never played, am interested in learning. Seems both wonderful and awful.

Help me start the year off right!

I like Far Cry 4 a lot, it's got everything I liked from FC3 and nothing I didn't.

The first game of 2015 was "get up at 6AM and go to work like a bitch."

I'd say go with Far Cry 4 of Alien

I wish I could. I would be a much better person. Possibly not 700lbs, but who's to say on that?

I'm trying to decide if I should abandon FF13 and try to play Trails in the Sky again

I'm told the latter has great story and characters which is what I care about in an RPG but the combat is so slow :(

It's slow and meticulous, but charming and riddled with neat secrets. If you keep pressing at it, it will deliver.

It would also mean abandoning FF13 again though

Only up to chapter... 6?... but I'm pretty okay with the gameplay, not sure about the story yet though I'm told it turns to dogshit which is kind of a turnoff

it has a slow pace, but overall its pretty great so far. idk, if you mind slow pace that much then jrpgs may not be for you

i don't mind a slow paced story at all, just the combat is not very interesting

It's incredibly slow, but it's worth the patience due to the fact that it has something which most jRPGs seem to lack: charm. I would say it is most definitely worth it if you're willing to sit down and take your time with the game.

If you like ye olden RPGS like Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, 2d Final Fantasies, Mother/Earthbound, then it's one to get.

If you're playing Suikoden 2, then yeah you're gonna like it. Similar style of play just without the need to collect 108 stars of destiny.

gently caress off, you're almost as much of an Anti-Gamer as Taint Reaper.
