I've never played the Metal Gear Solid games, but I hear good things (and some bad).
Anyone have any recommendations for RPGs? I'm open to other genres as well, but right now I'm looking for something new and interesting that will keep me engaged for dozens of hours. I've drained about 100 hours into Skyrim so far, but the constant freezes are bugging me into disinterest.

Does it get you to a level where you can play songs without the game in front of you?
It gets you to whatever level you want. I honestly believe it could get you to the level where you could play in a band within a year, given enough dedication.
I've only played about 4 hours of it and I know about half a song. The basics of it at least, and I find it interesting and fun to play. I'd say it gives you a good grasp of basics, but where you go from there is up to your level of dedication.
It makes practicing more fun, which should help a lot with kids learning, IMO.

I have indeed played New Vegas. I prefer Fallout 3, though.
DQ9 was on my list, but it didn't seem like it had much of a plot going on, so I was torn. I generally prefer a good story with my games. What's good about it, in your opinion?

Class based gameplay that encourages creativity through mixing the skillsets of the class. And once it opens up the game is dope. One thing I didn't like about DQ8 was that it would be deficient to ever branch out once you had chose a characters skill path.
Good turn based design, about limiting the ammount of attacks the enemies get at you, but with a fast battle-speed. They end quickly but they're long enough to feel like you've been through a tug of war.
Relatively easy. But still engaging.
I just wish it had decided to have no story, instead of a mediocre one that feels like a chore to have to mash through dialogue bubbles for. I wish it said "Go to the cave. Just roll with it."

i'm going to add "Sim City 5" to my "good for playing" list because it is a very good game with no problems and the online component is fantastic and the sims definitely add to the game with their complex and enriching lives as agents in the game and they're definitely not shiftless hobos that work at a different place every day and just go home to the nearest house at night and their population is not fudged and traffic works great because sims definitely take routes based on more complex pathfinding systems than "which route is the absolute shortest" and the different city types are totally balanced and

it's essentially MOO3 lite, where everything devolves into each race being a ship hose, with the biggest ship hose winning (in a slow, grueling process)
add to that that the AI is much more patient and complete-minded than you are and will create a hojtrillion fleets to take each individual system from you and cut off your fleet hose (because you can't set rally points for ships, just build and fleet them individually from wherever they happen to be) and the end result is a MOO3 experience

i take back my previous statement about sim city being a good game that is good for playing. quality not-crazy news and information site "the blaze" has uncovered sim city's agenda!
