shit game of the year

[fistfulofmetal]

I don't think ME3 is necessarily a bad game. It's competent and does what it needs to do. But that's it. It exists and functions. That doesn't mean it deserves praise.

[Positive Touch]

i should remind everyone that one of fistful's favorite games of this gen is mgs4

[fistfulofmetal]

untrue.

[Great Rumbler]

anyone who thinks me3 is worse than me1 is a damn fool. fistful is putting himself in the same category as nerds that love ueda games - they just want their games to have some FEELS, man. if you liked me2 because it was a decent tps with choose-your-own adventure space shit, then you will most likely enjoy me3. if you want a SCI-FI EPIC that you can point to and say "LOOK MA, I DIDNT WASTE MY LIFE BECAUSE THIS GAME IS ART AND BETTER THAN A PRIMETIME-TV-WATCHING MORON LIKE YOU COULD EVER COMPREHEND" then yes you will be disappointed. it's definitely not perfect, but it's really damn far from a bad game.

ME1 had a better story, quests, music, characters, and hub areas.

i wish you weren't a liar

Don't hate, man, I can't help it that I have a highly developed taste gland.

good god look at those graphics. remember when people thought me1 looked great in 2007? fuck. looks like an xbox game.

You forget some people will get the WiiU version

[cool breeze]

Mass Effect 3 = 4+1 = 5
Andrex = 6+1 = 7
(+1 is wii u library)

it's anybody's race!

[Human Snorenado]

Diablo 3 should be added.

You aren't helping out the stereotype of Polish people as functional distinguished mentally-challenged fellows

[Himu]

Yeah, BORESQUAD did a good job helping each other out with that game and despite the flaws we all mostly enjoyed the fuck out of it.

[Human Snorenado]

There are certainly fair criticisms of the game to be made; however 1-60 was quite enjoyable for the most part and always has been.  Inferno sucked for a good long while, but it's been really fun for about 3 months now.  What it boils down to is that gamers are irrational twatwaffles about their sacred cows; "DIABLO 2 MEANT THIS TO ME SO IF DIABLO 3 DOESN'T MEAN THIS TO ME, IT SUCKS AND IS A FAILURE!  WAAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAH CHANGE MY DIAPER!"  It's basically the whole NMA crowd for the Fallout franchise, but instead of being safely confined to one backwater, shitty forum on the internets, the D3/blizzard haters are free roaming lepers dropping pieces of their odious selves all over the fucking internets.  stfu plz.

Also, trying to compare TL2 to D3 is really fucking insulting.  What a shit game that ended up being.

[Himu]

Why are you guys shocked about TL2? TL1 sucked.

[MrAngryFace]

Gamer over-reactions to ME3 and D3 is the one of the worst parts about gaming this year. Bioware changing the ending to appease crybabies is what I REALLY hated about gaming this year.

[demi]

They didn't really change the ending, though, which is the funny part. Still the same 3 colors, the same results...

[Mr. Gundam]

Worst game I played this year was Eureka Seven: Attack the Legend (PS3). Forget the fanboy butthurtism of ME3 and RE6. Those are still playable games. Attack the Legend is the real shit.

This is beyond janky fun, this is an absolutely unplayable mess. The controls are groingrabbingly horrible and nonexistant. I have no clue what the fuck you're really supposed to do other than keep pushing buttons in the hopes that you defeat the enemy mechs.

Bandai/Banpresto stuff is universally crap, isn't it? Is this one of those?

It's worse than normal. The game is pretty pointless and you have zero real input on what you're doing. It's literally smash some buttons and hope you win.

Tldr

Diablo 1 and 2 meant a lot to me mayne.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I dont think anyone here is shocked about tl2, as much as diablo is my disappointment of the decade its 10 years ahead of tl2.

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, they basically added a couple of minutes of extra scenes to explain away some of the most blatant plot holes and do the barest minimum to flesh out the endings, but it's still exactly the same.

well shit, who would be dumb enough to srsly vote journey then

[Trent Dole]

I have some more to say.

- Mass Effect 3 could have been it, man. It could have been the stamp that justifies this generation. A sci-fi RPG trilogy that spanned the entire generation? It could have been it. I know that there are plenty of examples of a series that falls flat at the end in this and other mediums but it doesnt excuse it. Instead of being that stamp, it's just merely OK. It suffices as a video game and nothing more.

Because of the 3rd game, the series is completely tarnished. Does it make the previous two games bad? Of course not. But when people look back on the ME series this generation it's impossible for this fiasco to not be at the forefront in their mind.

Yeah, it's not a bad game per se, but it's hard not to look at it as a bit of a dissapointment.

is it like the macross games with all the pilots being playable?

It's nothing like the Macross PSP/PS3 games. Those are actually fun. This is a few random levels from Eureka Seven, the movie, and Eureka Seven AO. Absolutely terrible.

ok then let me modify the question. can i drop a steaming deuce all over hollands bitch ass in the sky?

i know.  thread title specifies shit game

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Yeah, there are a lot of aching hindquarters about Mass Effect 3 and Diablo 3 across the internet.

[Human Snorenado]

Like I said, I don't mind LEGIT criticism of any game.  I think people are just idiots about D3 criticism... for instance, Lager HASN'T EVEN PLAYED D2 LOD yet somehow is upset that D3 isn't it's equal.  That just screams fucktard to me, and I'm not the kind of guy who doesn't point that sort of shit out.  It's part of my charm.

[Tasty]

I've heard a ton of explanations for why ME3 is bad but none about Diablo 3.

It's not bad. Just a huge step back for people who played the previous game. I enjoyed my time clickan and clickan my playthrough.

Sounds to me like you invested a lot of time in this game and need to justify to yourself why its soooo good. 300 hours? Its all cool with me.

[gez]

mass effect 3 by a long kilometer

[chronovore]

I can see why people were pissed.  If you were in it for the story, a bad ending can really kill the works.  If you were in it for the choices, it kind of ignored your choices and railroaded you into the ending it wanted.  If you were in it for the gameplay, well then, you were fine, I suppose.

I know a few people who have played only multiplayer, think it's awesome, and are basically uninterested in the singleplayer stuff.

[Don Flamenco]

I've heard a ton of explanations for why ME3 is bad but none about Diablo 3.

I think it's cause:
--game balance at launch (all of it...difficulties, drops, etc.)
--not as full featured as LoD, thus it didn't feel like much of a step up.  AH wasn't ready, PVP (still?) not ready

lots of things needed fixing/balancing, it was in development forever so people expected near perfection right away and kinda forgot that blizzard games are always a work in progress from launch.

I amazed to find out there are people out there who only played the multi in Me. 2013 is off to an interesting start!

LOD is when D2 became a GOOD game so yeah

Is there an English release?

[Freyj]

Skipped right the fuck over Mass Effect 3, RE6, Ass Creed 3 and the Wii U.

I guess Diablo 3 was sort of shitty, but that was expected.

I suppose I'll stick with the Vita. Gravity Rush can smd and I'll get around to (replaying) Persona 4 when it's cheaper.

[tiesto]

Honestly I didn't have the highest expectations going in of ME3... I started playing it a few days after it was released and news of the horrible ending made its way across the internets, and I was expecting a streamlined experience after playing ME2, so I was already prepared.  And actually found a few things worth liking. The whole genophage subplot wrap-up was great, for instance. I think I preferred 3 to 2, overall. 1 would probably be my favorite if they refined its combat system and made the sidequests on the uncharted worlds something more exciting than canned dungeons.

Now a game I had pretty high expectations of but I ended up not liking at all... was Last Story. Really disappointed in that. Especially compared to Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey (which were both awesome) and the previous OpRainfall game Xenoblade (a fucking masterpiece). Shitty framerate, ugly bland graphics, unresponsive controls, boring linear environments, Nobuo's most forgettable soundtrack.

[Shaka Khan]

Big year for the industry... even Shit GOTY are being claimed by non-games.

[thisismyusername]

  Andrex choice 

I'm the only one to pick Resident Evil 6. I knew it was going to suck. But it somehow exceeded the expectation it was going to suck by being somehow worse. How could they do that!? I dunno, ask Capcom!

ME3 was always going to be shit since Bioware has never hit their promised "your choices matter!" in anything they claimed. IIRC, they claimed the same thing in KotOR 1 but the choices didn't matter outside of Light/Dark-side points. So I totally expected them to drop the ball there. The ending was the cherry on the pie.

Ass Creed 3 wouldn't have sucked if 1) the objectives that are entirely optional but required for the "full sync" achievement weren't a pain in the ass to do/get (DO NOT SHOVE OR PUSH ANYONE IN THIS CHASE!" "DO NOT GET ALERTED ON THE BOAT WHILE PLANTING BOMBS!") and 2) Desmond's ending wasn't completely rushed to brush him and the entire series aside for whatever Ubisoft has planned next.

There had to be a better way to end his story than rushing the ending like that. That aside, the game isn't awful when bugs don't get in the way. It's actually pretty fun to do the hunts and boat missions and explore the frontier/colonies. It's just the bugs and awful gameplay design getting in the way of that fun.

[Don Flamenco]

nope.  vita = underdog of the year.
