Recommend the above poster a game based on their top five!

The human who last posted will have listed their five favourite games, ie
1, Link's Awakening
2, Demon's Crest
3, Super Smash Bros Brawl
4, Excite Truck
5, Cave Story

You say,
Hm, OK, based on your favourites I'd recommend Dark Souls. Your first two and last picks suggest you enjoy metroidvaniaesque action-adventures heavy on atmosphere. Dark Souls delivers this with a vast interconnnected map, plenty of upgrades and levelling and a solemn mood that permeates the entire playthrough. It's a beefy single-player campaign that's a bit tougher than the titles you listed, but once you're used to the controls and can work with the game, it'll click for you.

Then you list your favourites!

You might like to suggest a title that is a little more obscure or a little outside the comfort zone of the last poster. Try to use reason to extrapolate a suitable title - remember that it can be an atmosphere, a challenge or even just a fresh experience that people look back on so fondly!
Try to explain just why you think the previous poster may like the game. Other users may be lurking with similar tastes as those posting, so more flocking to a game you post is a victory!
 
My favorites were:

1. Skyrim
2. Mass Effect 2/3
3. Persona 4 Golden
4. Fallout 3/New Vegas
5. Civilization 4

Hmmmmmmm. Well I'd obviously recommend Dragon Age Origins (and now Inquisition, probably) due to your enjoyment of Skyrim (another fantasy game) and ME 2/3 (Bioware).

If you enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas, might I suggest the STALKER series if you have a PC? They have interesting worlds, compelling lore, and make great use of their post apocalyptic setting. I still consider FO3/NV, to be superior games, but the STALKER series is great in its own right.

As for mine, these probably aren't my favorite games of all time (though Fallout 3 definitely makes the list), but they're the ones that, off the top of my head, I've most enjoyed in more recent years.

Fallout 3
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Darksiders 2
Dishonored
Wolfenstein The New Order

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+

I recommend Zone of the Enders.

Final Mix + refers to the package which included a disc for Re:CoM :3 Also, ZoE2 is one of my favorite games ever!

I tried Dragon Age a while back, but didn't like it on PC. Too difficult and too generic lol.

Here's a new list.

1. Dark Souls 1, 2, and Demons Souls.
2. Devil May Cry 3 and 4
3. Persona 4 vanilla.
4. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix
5. Super Mario Galaxy 2.

A recommendation off this list will most likely be played. Also note I'm playing Deadly Premonition right now.

I'm going to guess you like RPGs that drop a lot of the needless complexities but still have fun battle systems and recommend Lost Odyssey.

1. Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
2. Age of Empires 2
3. Mass Effect 1/2
4. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

I actually Bought one of the deluxe/LE editions of the game. I was sorta bummed when Big Huge imploded.

As for Dragon Age, I'm watching my girlfriend play Origins and I have DA:I Deluxe pre-ordered. You guys know me pretty well.

Bayonetta 1 and/or 2 could be right up your alley.

1. Zelda: Majoras mask
2. Xenoblade Chronicles
3. Burnout 3

5. Sonic 2

I own Bayo 1, love it. Don't have a Wii-U, will get one if they become really cheap in the future (4+ years).

My suggestion for you, Rayman Origins or Jet Grind/Set Radio.
