Okay, when World of Warcraft released Mists of Pandaria, I decided never to go back to it. Me and WoW are like this: I chase after a bandwagon, and when I'm almost on it the bandwagon decides to drive a mile ahead. Pity, I've never been max level, though if I were into WoW back when (in my eyes) it was in its heyday, I probably would have had a blast. I'm done with WoW, I used to like it but it's very diluted now IMHO.
So, here are some high-investment games I've tried:
EVE Online: I love it, but perhaps some other day.
Diablo 3: Was SO excited for this, but I was let down by the quality of the game.
Magic the Gathering: Playing this at the moment, but it's too damn expensive, online or not.
Civilization 5: Played the CRAP out of this, looking for something new.
StarCraft 2: Also played this a LOT, but I just don't have the desire to get into Masters.
Paradox Games: Hearts of Iron and Europa Universalis are both amazing, but REALLY dry.
Arma 3: My computer is not going to run this the way I'd like.
Rome 2: Same as above. ^^
Minecraft: I refuse to play this, I have it, but my soul dies at how empty the triumphs are.
Skyrim: Played it four times, but never beat it. Skyrim is... "butter scraped over too much bread," as Bilbo would say?
CoD or Battlefield: After Arma 2, there's no way I can like these games again.
Guild Wars 2: Haven't tried this, but doesn't look TOO ground-breaking or exciting to me.
Warhammer 40k I love painting tabletop models but it's VERY expensive and there's no-one to play against in my area.
I don't consider games like Assassin's Creed to be high-investment, with me it's one-and-done. Halo 3, on the other hand, has that inexhaustible multiplayer component, so it counts. I would like games with multiplayer, and preferable recent games, that people are playing today. (Not too expen$ive, please?)
