By SURPRISE, I am referring to a good thing in this year. What game had the biggest surprise this year? Which one did you have low expectations for, but ended up being blown away be it.

...Do I really need to explain the OTHER option again?

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank god that such men lived. ----------- No Bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. (both by George S. Patton jr.)

Guild wars was meh but better than other MMO's

1. Spec Ops The Line still looks crap
2. Not really surprising big mods always get standalones
3. Pretty surprising since FC2 was crap
4. WOW is still the industry standard

Shakes Magic 8 Ball

None of these seem truly surprising, only predictable. There are more surprising things to care about. Like who people really are.

Far Cry 3 did NOT meet all expectations.

I thought Spec Ops bombed in sales?

And I can't really think of anything major off the top of my head. Darkstalkers is Not Dead was probably my biggest surprise, especially if that teaser was for a new game.

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

Far Cry 3.

The most dangerous gunslinger in the west.

WoW is still the industry standard. Pretty sure no game is ever going to dislodge it, even if it's leaps and bounds ahead of it innovation-wise.

Anyway, no surprises. This year is just saddening.

signatures are for fa- wait

To me it was how Spec Ops:The Line story pulled off

I came in the game expecting a "Murka -blam!- yeah!" game

I was horribly wrong and i was greatly impressed

That is what I mean by success. I guess I miss used that word. I was deeply in love with how they made this story work so well.

Black Ops 2 was actually a pretty good game.

  • 12.29.2012 7:54 PM PDT

The WarZ devs and how bad the game was surprised me because the game was actually looked at by steam and taken down.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

The unknown games at the start of this year were better than the numbered games.
