Combat Mission: Fortress Italy, Wargame: European Escalation, A new Close Combat game, New Hearts of Iron 3 expansions, Natural Selection 2, Primal Carnage, XCOM, Company of Heroes 2 (Alpha)

Do i need to go on? because i could...

Posted by: jew man man

Blacklight: Retribution
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
Day Z
Diablo III
Dota 2
Guild Wars 2
Path of Exile
Planetside 2
Torchlight 2
Crusader Kings 2
War of the Roses
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

etc.

I disagree with all of these other than Wargame.


I guarantee you, you haven't played half the games i mentioned.

Other than Combat Mission, Close Combat and Hearts of Iron, I have played all the games you mentioned and didn't care for them (other than Wargame).

Yeah it was pretty bad. Halo 4 is terrible and the only game worth playing this year is NHL 13 and there's a stupid lockout

I typically don't care for RTS games being more of an FPS player, so it's more understandable why I disliked this year and have been moving out of my comfort zone.

You played the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition? What didn't you like about it?

That was in response to Raptor, I just haven't been interested in many of the games you mentioned, thus I've disliked this year. My heart is with FPS games, but they have been progressively been getting worse.

Oh. Why was my list in the quote then?

Also, you didn't like Natural Selection 2? I didn't like playing as Aliens. But I loved the mix of RTS and FPS. It worked brilliantly.

That was my thoughts a few years ago, and so I looked in the past for what the future wasn't giving me. There's plenty of "old" FPSs that haven't died, and older ones that have been re-made for a stab at the modern consumer's heart.

I'm not saying that any of the games you mentioned were bad, they're just not my thing. Natural Selection 2 was pretty cool, but it didn't hook me.

Most of my time spent with games is dedicated to trying out new mods for older FPS games, the STALKER series being my favourite.

CS:GO and ME3 made it a good year for me.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

Not really bad year we had a few ok ones.

In my opinion yes this has been a terrible year. Ive enjoyed maybe one AAA release on the consoles this year. That being me3, ive been playing more and more older games this year.

Not to mention my favorite genre is becoming a stale piece of crap that is fps. Dont bother mentioning pc games, my computer is pretty terrible for gaming so i dont bother with it.

  • 12.23.2012 11:40 PM PDT

Overall it's been good. Not as many blockbusters holding up as they were hyped but a pretty good year.

Two games that came out this year might just be two of my favourites I ever played so I'm happy. Plus 9 or 10 games I consider better then good.

  • 12.23.2012 11:43 PM PDT

hmm

Far Cry 3, Dishonored, Borderlands 2 were stand-outs for me this year. Better than last year, I can't even remember a single game that came out that I enjoyed.

This year I swayed away from AAA games and got into indie gaming.
For me its been a good year. Found some great games. Though very little came out this year that caught my eye.

These were the only AAA games I enjoyed, although Dishonoured isn't really my thing and the humour and characters in Borderlands were annoying.

Considering I only play like 2-3 new games a year, yeah it's been a good year.

Assassin's Creed 3 was great. Could have been better with the ending, but, it was a pretty damn good game. It may rival AC2.

Halo 4 was alright. The gameplay is fun, but it feels a bit half-assed. It didn't change as much, and downgraded customs games a bit. Although, it doesn't feel anything like COD.

Mass Effect 3 was horrible. The game wasn't bad, but the ending was really dissapointing. It made sense, but the fact that they made almost none of our choices count really ruined the three games. It basically went against the theme of all the games. Sure, the overall story of getting all the races together was great, but it was really, really, anti-climatic.

Huh? We're you playing games designed for 5 year-olds or something?
