Yeah, I hear that, I'm still to do the same bunch. I want to get myself into the right mood is my problem, I don't want to enter into any of them with a sense of RPG fatigue, so I've been playing Adventures and Strategy games the past few months (since finishing Drakensang: River of Time) and I'm feeling close to ready for another epic adventure.
There's no chance I'm buying a PS4 in the immediate either, in the mean time I'm watching Mr.Odd again:

Watching other people play games is a bit odd ('scuse the pun), but this guy seems to get most things right in terms of watchibility, such as sound, quality, pacing, blah blah blah, though some people find him a bit dumb at times (like anyone who watches anyone ever does, the back-seat driver thing).
But anyway, yeah, I was extremely skeptical of a new Dark Souls game, I never really got attracted to the originals, but, like (most) everyone is saying, holy shit, this looks... gooooogreous.... and watching this guy does actually make me want to buy this game! Which is extremely rare for a (near) complete cynic such as myself. I'm addicted to his episodes as much as he's addicted to the game.
