I love LoL, WoW, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, and have sunk a lot of time in them

Don't really hate games, just won't play them if I don't like 'em. 

LoL - I like how it's not boring, how it's the go-to game I play with old friends, how you have the opportunity to get fed and absolutely dominate, and how you can make comebacks when behind. I absolutely dislike the other players in this game, either on the enemy team or on my own. Love to hate them.

WoW - I like its complexity. Love the social aspect of it as well, met a lot of cool people through it. I like the elitism as well, finding other "good" players just like you, and teaming up with lots of them to beat challenges that the plebs don't even get to try out, and then having something to show for it. Hate how much it changes, sometimes becoming unplayable for a year or two.

Diablo 3 - I like grinding out and progressing my character. Don't exactly like hitting the point where you stop getting insane boosts from new stuff you get and you go from getting 4x more powerful for a new item you found, to getting 1-5% more powerful. 

Hearthstone - It's a fun card game that I got into. Hate how it's a big money grab if you want to stay competitive every new expansion. 

Other games I've played less but still like a lot: Outlast: fun horror game, Kotor 2: great rpg.

What are yours?

Oh god but so many games are really good. 

Can there be something to help me limit my options?

It takes almost like an hour to play a single round of it, and if someone leaves the match or otherwise sucks then you're stuck with it if you don't want a mark on your account. 

It's only good with friends, and if there's an adjacent television on something mindless if not some music playing.

I'm so glad they put classic back on (currently part way through 57). I started that game when it'd just come out and did a little bit of the Beta, and I just saw it become worse and worse since after Wrath of the Lich King (the game is almost nothing without it's talent system). I only stuck around for it's PVP, which is the main reason I enjoy this game at all (the truly organic human narratives it makes for are better than any quest text, and human opponents are more fun in how they respond to things). 

I used to play it with my ex-fiance a lot and otherwise played with a former forum's guild alongside some IRL friends, so there's some weird memories tied to some places for me too. I'll sometimes just sit in a place just to soak it in, which is kinda weird.

The grind eventually got to me. I played Demon Hunter for a while, but I didn't bother to jump into the next expansion. 

I mostly liked trying to make builds that seemed to work against the expectation of the class. All of them had a way to do something weird and once seemingly counter-intuitive.

 Oh dear. There's a few... 

Vr games: Beat Saber, I love music and custom stuff people make for the game. Great exercise. 

Rec room, get to interact with people.  Tons of games and rooms but my fave is the paint ball one xD I'm  great at it and it's tons of fun. 

There's  an open world mmorpg that I forgot the name to but I always choose mage (the hardest ofc) and you have to memorize runes and draw them fast and you have to be very accurate in the drawing or it fizzes out. You have a book but it doesn't pause the game and the runes get more detailed as you level up. And you get pets!!! Like dragons and you can breed them and everything. 

I like the horror games as long as there's no spinning around. 

Any simulation ones I find enjoyment in. 

PC: WoW,   same reasons as you mentioned above. 

Skyim/Elder Scrolls, usually do it offline, like it for same reasons as WoW without other humans involved. 

Dragon Age games,  graphics and character creation are awesome and I like the leveling and different story lines. 

Sims, I just like the mods and killing them to try and romance Death/Grimm Reaper.   

Board Games: Monopoly, the Halloween board is my fave. Also like the hotel version. 

Candy land, mainly nostalgic. 

Thank you for asking. 

I'd say Spyro year of the dragon, the Sims 2, and Fallout 4 are my all time favorite games. Each of these held a large chunk of my attention at various points in my life. The 3rd homeworld in Spyro was my favorite, but Cloud Billows from the first homeworld was my favorite portal. Sims was a complete replacement for human interaction between the ages of 11-13. Fallout 4 was the first video game I really got into after 10 years of not playing any. I'm still disappointed the game is so short. Also I like Dungeons and Dragons/ Pathfinder. I am in the Pathfinder club at my college but as a guild we dont have the same chemistry that my high school DnD club had so I feel kinda dissapointed. I know that it isnt the game's fault, and I hope to find a more cohesive group next semester.

 When I hear Spyro I think of Skylanders,  haha.

Why year of the dragon in particular..? 

Fallout 4 are my all time favorite games.

There's other games thematically similar to it that you might want to explore. 

Also Dungeons and Dragons 

Ooooh really?

What class and what alignment are the ones that feel more "natural"?
