I've not played either Dragons Dogma or Dragon Age and have no real interest as have limited gaming time. Cyberpunk looks like it will be a Deus Ex clone, which I really didn't like. I didn't play Mass Effect 3 but 2 was far too easy and while enjoyable just felt a bit light to be good RPG. South Park has no real interest either as can't stand the shows so unlikely to like the game. That leaves Fallout 4 and Dark Souls 2. I really enjoy the Fallout games so this will be purchased but not on day one. I lost hours and hours of saves to both Fallout 3 and Fallout: NV glitches so will wait a while. Dark Souls 2 however will be a day one purchase as Dark Souls is great, I go back to it frequently and its as enjoyable now as it was at the start, if not more so as I now know what I am doing. People go on about it being too hard but it really isn't. Proportionally I died more often and found more frustrating the hardest settings of all the GoW games, Max Payne 3 and many others.

I don't really want them to put any kind of help, I enjoyed it that I didn't know what the hell was going on, it made it different from most, if not all, other games I play. I didn't use any wikis and while it was very frustrating I think overall it added to the story and gave a better sense of achievement.
