11.26.11 | So, what about you guys? |
SpottedTrout
11.26.11 | Portal 2 is my top so far, but i have yet to play Skyrim and Uncharted 3.
Battlefield 3 is excellent as well. |
Counterfeit
11.26.11 | fucking BATMAN |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | Deus ex
Uncharted 3
Dead Island
Batman
|
Acanthus
11.26.11 | 1 doesn't even place for me, Skyrim's a contender but not sure yet. A lot of games released in the first few months were good, though the hpe of huge releases overshadows them. |
MalleusMaleficarum
11.26.11 | I fucking love Skyrim i just wish my main questline wasnt glitched . |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | I have yet to play Batman, since it was delayed on PC and not having the money.
Metallic, nope. It was January of this year, so many people forget about it. |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | Oh yea huh, well that too and portal 2 |
Acanthus
11.26.11 | Deus Ex HR will probably be my favorite of the year to honestly. |
jayfatha
11.26.11 | Generic choice, but Skyrim all the way. Then again I haven't played many games from this year at all |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | Yes acanthus. So good. |
Acanthus
11.26.11 | It also has the best soundtrack imo, with Skyrim being a close second. None of the shooters nor Zelda make the cut in gameplay or sound. |
jefflebowski
11.26.11 | Arkham City, closely followed by Skyrim. The combat on Skyrim could still do with more variation though |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | When it comes to music, Xenoblade and Skyward Sword are the best (my opinion of course). Icarus is the
only one that does it for me from Deus Ex. |
NeutralThunder12
11.26.11 | skyrim is absolutely outstanding. |
Satellite
11.26.11 | skyrim
portal 2
arkham city
deus ex |
ThePac
11.26.11 | getting xenoblade for xmas can't wait |
fuckthatnoise
11.26.11 | 1. Skyrim
2. LA Noire
3. Deus Ex
i could round it out and make a top 5 but this year has been pretty disappointing and those 3 are THE big 3 games of this year imo. |
HangEmHigh
11.26.11 | Really Deus Ex? The horrible combat, stealth, and battery system detracted me so much that I couldn't even appreciate what is easily the best story in gaming this year. Derp I run my thousand dollar high end cybernetic enhancements on AA batteries. |
derkaderka
11.26.11 | Skyrim is definitely my goty so far. Dead Space 2 and LA Noire were absolutely remarkable as well. I have yet to play Arkham City but I'm sure it would be in my top 5 if I had the money for it. |
Acanthus
11.26.11 | @HangEmHigh - Did you play the first one? I have no issues with the "battery" system at all
personally. |
HangEmHigh
11.26.11 | I have not played the first one but I try to base any opinions for video games more on what's given on the disc than
other entries in the series. Take for example Dead Space 2. In its own right it works well as a somewhat scary action
game but its totally different from the corridor crawler that Dead Space 1 was |
Hyperion1001
11.26.11 | modern battlefield 7 was my favorite |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | "Really Deus Ex? The horrible combat, stealth, and battery system detracted me so much "
Dude the stealth was the main point of the game in my opinion. It was how the game was meant to be played, they pulled the stealth mechanics so well. The one thing I'll agree on was the battery thing but I barely used cloak, silent walking or sight through walls cause I was too busy being a fuckin' ninja. |
pmmets07
11.26.11 | i had so much fun with Pokemon White. my only complaint is the lack of US events. |
Acanthus
11.26.11 | My thing was he's a cyborg, and cloak and the like would take an awful lot of extra juice when he needs so much already.
Stealth ftw! |
Maniac!
11.26.11 | I haven't played it, but I doubt Skyward Sword is better than Ocarina of Time. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Don't let nostalgia get in the way. |
HangEmHigh
11.26.11 | ^this. Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time are on par as the best 3D Zelda games made for me. In very different ways too. |
Masochist
11.26.11 | I can't really say for real, but there were a lot of games that compete for #1 for me:
- Portal 2
- Pokemon White (I agree with both X3ni92 and pmmets about it)
- Skyrim (which I haven't played extensively yet, but absolutely enjoy anyways)
- Sonic Generations (which I'm really damn happy didn't suck)
Deus Ex is awesome, as well...it just reminds me too much of both Metal Gear Solid and Half-Life 2. |
Masochist
11.26.11 | What about Assassin's Creed: Revelations? Anyone play it? |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Oh shit, I forgot about Sonic, it was damn good...'till the final 3 levels and final boss.
@ThePac, you will not regret it, such a great game. |
Knott-
11.26.11 | Deus Ex: HR is the only game I've played this year apart from CS, but it's still the best!!! |
Ovrot
11.26.11 | Dark Souls
Pokemon White
Mortal Kombat |
Tyrael
11.26.11 | Skyrim's interface on pc was seriously fucked up |
MalleusMaleficarum
11.26.11 | haha |
Masochist
11.26.11 | Mortal Kombat was awesome, too. I only played it a bit, but I haven't had that much fun playing a Mortal Kombat game in such a long time.
And I could get along with most of Sonic Gen, except that damn last level as Modern Sonic...and even then, only the second half of the level. Oh, and the final boss was probably the worst final boss I've seen in a video game. But every other level, and ALL of Classic Sonic's levels (especially his version of Crisis City) definitely outweigh everything bad about that game. |
HangEmHigh
11.26.11 | If you haven't, you should really play Arkham City. That and Skyrim are at the top of my list right now. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | The final boss of SG was so fucking bad, worst boss I have ever faced.
I want to play Arkham City badly, but don't have the funds to get it, i'm also kind of deciding whether or not to get it for PC or Wii U...yes really. |
minty901
11.26.11 | Skyrim, Dead Space 2, Battlefield 3, Fifa 12. |
Ovrot
11.26.11 | I forgot about Limbo!
Dark Souls
Pokemon White + Black
Mortal Kombat
Limbo
Skyrim |
acorncheese
11.26.11 | Is Skyward Sward really that good? I've only played about 3-4 hours of it and it's just so fucking rehashed. Not that it's not fun or anything, but I'm just doubting it'll live up to the hype surrounding it. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | I don't see how its a rehash to be honest, but I'm also a nintendo fanboy, so I would have loved it either way. |
HangEmHigh
11.26.11 | ^ the latter dungeons are the real shining point in SS. They utilize the wii motion plus into such fun and complex puzzles. Not to mention the story is easily the most fleshed out and interesting in any Zelda game. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | HangEmHigh, I loved the reference to Ganon and why its always Link and Zelda. So good. Once you get passed the 3rd dungeon it starts to get real good, and then it goes down a little after the 6th dungeon, but picks up right at the 7th. Its so good. |
ohfoxxxycole
11.26.11 | portal 2
skyrim
rage
just now started skyward sword |
acorncheese
11.26.11 | Yeah, I mean I'm totally fine with the same old formula as I'm a Zelda fanboy, but the way people were talking about it before it came out made it seem like it was a revolutionary title in the series. Can't wait until I ahve more time to play it. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Well it does change the cycle up, as it feels like you're in a dungeon the whole time |
combustion07
11.26.11 | Need to check out 1 and 5. I have a wii but all I have is Super Mario Bros lol that got old quick |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | If you can get Xenoblade (only available in EU and JP), I highly suggest you get it. |
paxman
11.26.11 | Rage was disappointing as fuck, but it was still good. Was thinking that third disc was more campaign. I'm going to beat it on nightmare difficulty soon.
I didn't care for Portal 2. It was too easy and predictable, and the goop stuff was stupid. The first Portal is way better.
Other than that, I've been playing Skyrim in my free time. It's good, but hard as fuck on Master difficulty (I will not change it I will not change it). |
InAbsentia
11.26.11 | Didn't play much this year, but Skyrim and Portal were fantastic. |
sifFlammable
11.26.11 | battlefield should be up there |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | @paxman So I'm not the only person who likes Portal more than Portal 2, good to know d:
EDIT: I haven't played Battlefield 3 yet. |
Trebor17
11.26.11 | The two games I got this year ranked:
Skyrim
Portal 2
|
paxman
11.26.11 | Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one too. My brother hyped it up so much saying it was like a masterpiece and stuff, and then I played it and was like "I don't think so bro" |
paxman
11.26.11 | Lol @ Trebor
You need more games in your life! |
ApplicationToHeaven
11.26.11 | dead space 2 wasn't even good, so repetitive i'm surprised i managed to finish it |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Yeah, in my opinion its still a good game, but its too short, co-op is basically pointless (and is also, short). Its too easy and there's no reason to go back to it. Portal at least had some difficulty in it. My opinion of course lol. |
ilikeforests
11.26.11 | how does skyward sword compare to twilight princess? |
Crysis
11.26.11 | I'm in the beta for Star Wars: The Old Republic and I'm pretty sure this game will easily be in the top 3 of the year when it's released. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Skyward Sword is 100x better than Twilight Princess. Some people may not like the dungeon design as much, but I think its better. |
ilikeforests
11.26.11 | twilight princess was worth playing but i dont know it was just way too fuckin easy |
Trebor17
11.26.11 | You need more games in your life!
I play a lot of games, just not new ones
I also got pokemon black |
acorncheese
11.26.11 | battlefield should be up there [lolololol] |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | @ilikeforests it was worth playing through, but it was way to easy. I say Skyward Sword has the perfect balance of difficulty. |
astrel
11.26.11 | 1: Skyrim
2: Deux Ex HR
3: Dead Space 2
Really want to try Xenoblade. Also La-Mulana was supposed to be released as Wii-ware, but they haven't done it in America yet. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Everyone who wants to try Xenoblade. Do it ASAP. Its really really good, and who knows NoE may stop making copies at one time. |
coneren
11.26.11 | stokes of the year
stokes |
coneren
11.26.11 | defiantly* |
coneren
11.26.11 | no its a metaphor |
coneren
11.26.11 | whats that |
Activista anti-MTV
11.26.11 | what happend to pokemon red and blue |
AngelofDeath
11.26.11 | I highly doubt Skyward Sword is anywhere close to being as good as Twilight Princess, but I guess I'll find out for myself soon enough. |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | I guess you have high regards for Twilight Princess. I find it to be the worse 3D Zelda game (which doesn't mean much as they're all fantastic) |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | ^agree, it was so boring |
fsharptrit0ne
11.26.11 | damn dude xenoblade is that good? fuckk
Skyward Sword destroys TP honestly |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Its so good. I'm glad I imported it. |
KILL
11.26.11 | bf3 pc |
fsharptrit0ne
11.26.11 | pissed it didnt come to the states. it's been a long time since i've played a new good jrpg |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Me too, but I have a theory, NoA is holding onto Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower for the Wii U with updated graphics. (Please let it happen) |
combustion07
11.26.11 | So Xenoblade is PAL? It's like a dvd right? I'd have to hack my wii to play it |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | seriously no love for Dead Island? huh, the game was such a grind |
Trebor17
11.26.11 | dead island looks like shit |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | who gives a fuck about graphics? |
Trebor17
11.26.11 | I mean looks not fun
I don't give a fuck about graphics
|
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | gotcha, I found it really fun, kinda like condemned |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | It is PAL, so yes you would have to hack your Wii, its not to long of a process, and if you hack it, you can get Xenoblade's loading times to be even faster, if you put the game on a usb.
I haven't played Dead Island, mainly because it looked to similar to Dead Rising, and I'm kind of sick of zombie games. |
MetallicOpeth
11.26.11 | never played dead rising cause I thought it would be super repetitive, there was some good variation in Dead Island |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Dead Rising is very repetitive, hmm, is that so? Then I may have to check it out when its on sale on steam next time. |
astrel
11.26.11 | Dead Island looked kind of boring, but this is hilarious amazing.

bringonthebreakdown
11.26.11 | somebody needs to get off nintendos metaphorical dick |
paxman
11.26.11 | What is Nintendo's dick a metaphor for? |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | Uh...you're saying that because I only own a PC and a Wii, and that 3 games on the Wii and DS are my
favorite games of 2011? Sorry only 2 of them are actully developed by Nintendo. |
paxman
11.26.11 | Hold on, let's ascertain what he means first. The dick is a metaphor for........something.... |
X3ni92
11.26.11 | I..think hes just jealous he doesn't have Xenoblade. |
astrel
11.26.11 | Swords are quite phallic. |
paxman
11.26.11 | Donuts are sapphic. |

Gowhenred
