Good game to play

The title says all. I need a nice game to play I don't care if is old or new just want an interesting and prefebably a long game.
To be honest latest games didn't appeal too much. Last game I played was FC3 and liked.

I Did few searches first but it's always good to hear TPU members oppions.

If you liked FC3 I think you'll really like Dishonored. Great game, just got into it myself.

100+ hours into Fallout 3, 100+ hours into Fallout New Vegas, 100+ hours into Oblivion, 200+ hours into Skyrim. Without getting into games that suck up lots of hours via multiplayer, those are probably the longest games I've played (long as in lots to do).

The Mass Effect trilogy is also long with about 40 hours per title if you do everything. And you could replay it three times using neutral, paragon, and renegade choices. The story is virtually unchanged but it's still interesting to see how choices made long ago change things along the way.

The main Assassin's Creed series is also long. Figure out 20-30 hours per game and there's 5 of them (AC, AC2, ACB, ACR, AC3).

Skyrim I always wanted to try it but seriously I don't understand how to play that kind of games and still played a bit of Oblivion.

What's there to understand? It's a quest driven first-person adventure game.

See my edit above (added more titles).

It's a great game but not necessarily long.

Bethsoft.
New Vegas was amazing, it took all the good parts about F3 and added in some new mechanics, and a better story

Speaking of which, Alpha Protocol is pretty long--probably 40 hours per play and I've beat it many times.

Like Ford said, play the Assassin's Creed series. It's frickin awesome! I feel like stupid didn't play it long time ago. The only AC gameI didn't play yet is AC3. Buggy as hell. With my PC atleast.
