I've disliked most every game released this year, not to the extent of 2011 though.

What do you think?

I agree, the games have been disappointing this year.

Vinyl Scratch knows how to get the feeling alright

Tonight is the night that we're gonna lose it
So spin that record Vinyl Scratch, and never stop the music.

I enjoyed the games that were released. But not many quality or original ones came out.


Mediocre year.

Farcry 3 and dishonored were that only things that stood out this year, so not really.

I think first person shooters are past there prime and golden age, becoming a bit more generic and same same. Nothing really excited me this year on xbox either.
I've been playing xbox a bit less each year. But I have started to play some pc games like Company of Heroes and Arma 3.

All that comes to mind is Guild Wars 2.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

Absolutely good.

  • 12.23.2012 10:39 PM PDT

Take me into your heart! Accept me as your savior! Nail me to the -blam!- cross, and let me be reborn!

I had fun with and liked:

Halo 4
Black Ops 2
Mass Effect 3
Dishonored
Far Cry 3
Borderlands 2
Minecraft
Skyrim DLC
Walking Dead
Doom 3 BFG Edition
Paper Mario Sticker Star
Kid Icarus Uprising
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario 3D Land
Mario Kart 7

I don't think all of those came out this year, but they are my more noteworthy favorites. I liked this year in gaming. Still want to play Max Payne 3, Assassins'c Creed III, and some PC and 3DS games. Also want to try some Wii U games out.

I haven't played any new releases this year. None of them have grabbed my attention in a positive way, with some repulsing me (Halo 4 being a prime example of this with its CoD imitation). I don't like the way the industry is heading, with its blatant disregard of long-term planning. Nobody wants to make the chess of e-sports, and everybody wants to make a quick summer blockbuster, in which countless sequels will ensue. There's a lack of maturity in this industry, with too many developers hell-bent on copying the current trending game.

For me it's been pretty decent, not bad but not great. I'd honestly rank it about the same as last year personally. I probably enjoyed this year a little more now that I'm thinking about it though.

Last year I got Shadows of the Damned, Catherine, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Batman: Arkham City, Super Mario 3D Land, and Dark Souls.

This year I got Binary Domain, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Persona 4 Arena, Dragon's Dogma and Xenoblade.

I can see it being underwhelming if I got really hyped for the big AAA games.

There's been great games in pc gaming this year like dayz mod bringing in a whole new genre of zombie survival (don't count warz that peice of -blam!- game). So Many indie games keeping the variety of games fresh. It isn't all about the big titles you know. Planetside 2 was a great game too. Well thats my opinion on pc gaming though.

hahahaha, what?

No thought required, just spawn and GOOOOOOOOOOO

oh GOD no.

2012 was a horrible year, somehow worse than 2011.


Literally the ONLY good games that came out this year released on the 3DS and Vita, with the exception of Hotline Miami, which was a PC game.
