Can we call GOTY 2010 yet?

[fistfulofmetal]

RE5 is fucking awful. Terrible in singleplayer. Terrible in co-op.

[Himu]

People who say it's terrible on sp need to man up. Got every achievement, beat all modes, did every single thing.

Without a co-op partner.

How bout them apples, pussies?

[CajoleJuice]

Starcraft 2
Mass Effect 2

Only full retail games I bought this year, except for RDR, which I returned fairly quickly.

It's not too hard. Just give the ai a sniper rifle or or a magnum and it's aces. Pretty damn good ai that covers your ass, especially if you give them a sniper rifle or magnum. ai usefulness wholly depends on what gun you have equipped. With pistols, the ai is more conservative; with sniper rifles they go in offensive mode.

People complain about micromanaging the ai, but I love it. It adds to the "survival" element in that if you don't take care of your partner you're fucked.

I still haven't played RE5 on co-op, I should get RE5 Gold.

[Third]

Forgot about Alan Wake. Also a good 2010 game.

My real answer is Bayonetta, of course.

Oops, forgot to put that one in my Most Overrated list.

1) I haven't played games much recently (outside of a three-day addiction to Pac-Man CE DX)
2) I heard it wasn't Burnout-quality

Edit: Although I just saw your post in its thread

you guys should give a spin to 999 given the chance

Yeah man, it's amazing. Every Burnout fan should try it. It's much closer to the older Burnouts than Paradise was and you still liked that game. Anyone who says it's not Burnout quality barely played it or they're full of shit.

Lol no, I think you didn't play it enough. I don't see how any arcade racer fan could not like this game. Like I said before, it's not exactly like BO, but it's the closest thing we've gotten to BO3.

Ok, you've convinced me to check it out, considering there is really nothing else I give a shit about. I'll probably love it. You saying it's like the older Burnouts has me excited. 

[Beezy]

Too bad I wasn't able to convince you while it was on sale everywhere for $35...

[CajoleJuice]

I wasn't even paying attention, so you couldn't have convinced me.

[Stoney Mason]

Surprised to not see more Just Cause 2 love. I seem to remember the bore really liking that one.


I tried it on a rental and at first it gives a great first impression but then some stupid stuff started to happen so I sent it back. I'll give it another try in the future.

Also Darksiders seemed to be very popular early in the year. Never tried that one.


Not goty material but I really dug Transformers early in the year. The MP especially is kinda interesting although buggy.

[cool breeze]

I have it up there.

The only thing that pisses me off about the game is that the latest official patch on PC removes the bolopatch.  The bolopatch is the thing that let you use multiple ropes, unbreakable ropes, infinite health/ammo, etc.  Made the game even more awesome.  But the other reason it is so great is because the DLC release of the parachute thrusters made the game even better, especially when you add in mods.  The superman flying mod is so much fun.


I'm surprised more people don't have Dark Void up there

wait, no I'm not

I still don't have JC2. I might as well wait now until I get a gaming PC.

Darksiders is average.

[Mr. Gundam]

My list would probably be:

Ryu ga Gotoku 4
Rock Band 3
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2010
Vanquish
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Final Fantasy XIII
Nier
Sengoku Basara 3
Resonance of Fate

Guilty pleasure game of the year:
Another Century's Episode R

Bayonetta was a 2009 game for me, and I haven't played Dragon Quest IX, Gundam Musou 3, Red Dead Redemption or Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood yet.

[D3RANG3D]

Nehrim it's absolutely free not internet store free, smh video game industry!

RDR is my GOTY. Hands down. Just magnificent.

Yeah, I'm remembering the love for Darksiders. I stopped maybe 1/3 into it when I had trouble opening a single door. I am thinking of re-trying it but haven't managed to generate even an iota of gumption.

But I'm really surprised to see no-one bringing up Just Cause 2. I thought there was even going to be a WWJC2D thread for captured movies; too bad it's impossible to include that feature with the 360 version of the game. Also perhaps too bad that it came out near so many other good games. I hope it sold well enough to keep that team in the black.

[Herr Mafflard]

So are we actually gonna turn this into a poll thread or what? I think batman aa won it last year and dragon age was second. Evilbore has the best taste as always. And can someone please make a seperate poll for downloadable games pretty please.

[Third]

Dragon Age was second best game? 
The collective taste of Evilbore members must be shit then.

[Herr Mafflard]

If the collective taste of the bore is the opposite of Third's than i think we on the right track.

[Eel O'Brian]

tell me the games you want on the list and i'll make the poll thread for you, infected

Thanks eel i'll pm you the list tomorrow. Unfortunately i'm working all day today so i don't have access to a computer.    Or someone can ago ahead and make one now no bother.

Yep, Dragon Age PC is god-tier.

They are talking about last year Kosma.

And DAO is shit, fuck evilbore taste

Dragon Age only gets accolades because people are so starved for isometric combat in RPGs.  It is nowhere as good as Baldur's Gate 2.

Dragon Age gets accolades because it's really good. No, it isn't as good as BG2, but you can probably count the number of RPGs since then that are on one hand and still have enough fingers left over to carry a sack of potatoes.

[Herr Mafflard]

Or a small dwarf.

[MoxManiac]

SSF4 is 2010's GOTY, with SF4 being 2009's. 2011 GOTY will most likely be MvC3.

[Shaka Khan]

How the hell can a fighting game be GOTY? 

[Raban]

I'll level with you and say SSF4 is a great choice for this year's GOTY, but no way on SF4.

No XBL achievements = inferior version, bottom line.   I wouldn't have explored half the things I did in that game if it wasn't for achievements giving me goals and stuff to do. 

[Himu]

the game still had achievements.

[demi]

Cant disagree with Chow. Achievements simply rejuvenated gaming. Why bother if they arent there.

[bork]

How the hell can a fighting game be GOTY? 

You're right.  It's Game Of The Decade.

[Herr Mafflard]

True true. And steam achievements suck. So it's a testament to DA's quality that we could look past that fact and invest so heavily into the pc version of the game. Too bad bioware is abandoning us.

[Herr Mafflard]

Sorry that was a reply to demi.

[Himu]

I didn't buy the steam version, I got the retail boxed version and the achievements were fine.

[Herr Mafflard]

Ha ha sorry. I should of said bioware achievements or something. I brought the game on steam so i confused it. Which, convenietly, is another reason why pc achievs suck, or rather, does not deliver as congrous a relationship between player and games as a console is able to. there's isn't the consistency the console platform can provide as of yet. Things like every game must give away a certain number cheevs only and so on.

[Great Rumbler]

Achievements

[Eel O'Brian]

i get annoyed when i see that stuff pop up in steam games

[demi]

I did look past the fact. It's still shit. Will play DA2 knowing they are focusing on not making a shitty game.

[pilonv1]

Agreed. I could only spend about 3-4 hours in Dragon Age before being bored to death. Meanwhile I've spent countless hours in Risen and enjoyed every minute of it.

[Eel O'Brian]

here's a real pc achievement

[Himu]

Risen combat

Turned based goodness

[Great Rumbler]

Risen combat

[Stoney Mason]

Risen was one of the most over-rated nerd favorite games I've ever played. Most boring shit ever.

[Great Rumbler]

Risen was one of the most over-rated nerd favorite games I've ever played. Most boring shit ever.

I like Euro RPGs [and RPGs in general], but I'd have to agree. It had some good points [like a lot of quests and map packed with little secret areas to find], but the map was way too small and the combat didn't start to get decent until near the very end. Of the RPGs I've played [50+] it's bottom-tier, despite being a massive improvement over Gothic 3.

[Stoney Mason]

I played it because a certain segment of people fell in love with it and said how awesome it was. And I legit gave it a healthy dose of gametime to see if it would win me over. At no time was I having what I like to call "fun".

I only comment because somebody mentioned Dragon Age as boring in relation to it. When Risen for me was one of the most boring RPG's I've played in years.

Risen's sword combat got decent at the highest level because it unlocked a new rushing attack that sped it up a little bit, but it just felt like too little too late and I'd already started to get bored with it by then. Not a bad game, but it's a weak 7.

I thought the combat was shit but then I expect that from PC centric RPG's that go for "action" in their combat. I just didn't care for it at all. Drakensang is another euro rpg with all the typical bad quirks and low production values of a euro-rpg but at least it actually felt like an rpg to me.

I don't mind the action combat, I loved Two Worlds after all. The problem is that Risen's combat just felt slow and uninteresting. On the other hand, Two World's combat wasn't any deeper but it was done in such a way that it never felt like the combat got in the way of having fun with everything else. And that's really the difference between a mediocre Euro RPG and mediocre Euro RPG that's still really fun to play.

[Himu]

i played the demo and it was trash. same for drakensang. tried out the witcher for 5 minutes, uninstalled it. Figured it'd be the same boring eurofag rpg trash. I may give it another shot sometime.
