[fistfulofmetal]

i'll add a poll later.

[fistfulofmetal]

How many poll options can there be?


Because I think it would be funny if there was a poll option for every game released in 2013.

Voted for 7, CBA to actually give them an order or list them, but I voted (unlike the presidential election).

[Raban]

These are in no particular order
868-HACK
Just an astonishing game for iOS. I'm always on the hunt for a mobile game that I feel drawn to playing rather than a game I'm more likely to pull out while I fuel up my car, and 868-HACK fits the bill perfectly. The design is so clever, fool-proof, and challenging, I'm comfortable saying it's akin to a single-player chess. Any fan of rogue-likes needs to get this game, ASAP.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Around when this game was coming out I was looking for some sort of action game palate-cleanser and Animal Crossing: New Leaf was there for the picking. Nintendo introduced numerous things to streamline the core experience of Animal Crossing while also adding gorgeous visuals and very cute, detailed, sound design. It's especially welcome that the online functionality was much improved (outside of being a little cumbersome to enable things like in-game chat), as playing this game with fellow Boritos definitely colored my experience.
Saints Row IV
This game was definitely a surprise. I've never been all-too-fond of the series but I've tried to respect what Volition was doing. However, with the fourth game, Volition fully unhinges themselves and made what I like to call the spiritual successor to Crackdown, and easily surpasses it. The most surprising part of this game is that my favorite thing isn't the building-jumping or the face-shattering or even just the deliciously enticing way the game doles those powers out to you. No, my favorite thing about Saints Row IV is actually the story, specifically the way they frame the entire game. Absolutely brilliant.
Nuclear Throne
Last year, Ridiculous Fishing was on my GOTY list holding the spot that 868-HACK takes today, so of course I was very excited to get my hands on Vlambeer's next project. Nuclear Throne doesn't disappoint, with visceral, satisfying gunplay and a host of different characters with their personal abilities that keep things fresh as you throw your bruised body back into the fray, death after death. Did I mention this game is hard? It will destroy you. Vlambeer is still adding to the game, so I can't begin to imagine the horrible things they have in store.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
This is a game I've been trying to get my hands on for a very long time, but I was always averted until now. What a kick-ass game. I'm glad that we can have wildly varying types of action-RPGs these days, what with Dark Souls, Skyrim, the Witcher and now this, and every single one has its own, unique personality. What I like about Dragon's Dogma is the way the game encourages you to hop from class to class, and gives you the ability to not just customize your own character, but your pawn too. I thought I'd be annoyed by the pawns at first but it's actually nice to have company in the dangerous world of Cassardis, and they contribute to this game standing out among its peers as a mainly "single-player" RPG that embraces an online component. Everything from the visuals, to animations, and encounter design, makes it clear that Capcom poured a lot of man-hours into this game and it absolutely pays off.

[Eric P]

really only two games i played to the point of distraction this year and those are State of Decay and Saint's Row 4.  Everything else I kind of dipped in for a bit then dipped out.

[Tasty]

POLL'S UP

LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANYTHING

MH3U

[fistfulofmetal]

added all the stuff

[CajoleJuice]

I have played two of the games listed, DOTA 2 and Super Hexagon. I guess the latter.

[iconoclast]

1. Dodonpachi Saidaioujou
2. Volgarr the Viking
3. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
4. Earth Defense Force 2025
5. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
6. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
7. Mamoru-kun Curse!
8. Dragon's Crown
9. Gunhound EX
10. Rayman Legends

I guess. There are still a few top 10 contenders that I still need to play tho: The Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, Ys: Celceta, Ace Attorney 5, maybe Soul Sacrifice

[Raban]

I accidentally voted before you added my games. I don't really care. It's not like anyone else is gonna vote for Nuclear Throne or 868, lol. We all know who will win

[Bebpo]

1.  The Last of Us
2.  Shin Megami Tensei IV
3.  Assassin's Creed IV
4.  Gunpoint
5.  Paper's Please
6.  Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
7.  Saints Row IV
8.  Tomb Raider
9.  God of War: Ascension
10.  MGS Rising

Those are about the only games I played this year that came out this year.  As in, literally, these aren't the ten "best" games, but the "ten" only games I've played ranked from best to worst.  I'm sure Tearaway/Mario 3DW/Wonderful 101/GTAV/Bravely Default would be on there but I don't want to put stuff up there that I haven't finished or in the case of ACIV almost finished.

[cool breeze]

yeah, there are other games I'd probably choose had I played them.

GTAV, the initial hours (...like 20) of exploring the world and stuff were amazing and left the strongest impression, but the actual missions weren't very fun.  Felt the opposite about Saints Row IV, where missions, story and characters were awesome, but the open world didn't do much for me.  I think I enjoyed Zelda 3DS the most even if it was kinda hollow.
 
also, please add Zelda 3DS 

[Himu]

[El Babua]

Only played like 5 new games this year:

1. Last of Us - Citizen Kane if it wasn't directed by an obese tryhard

2. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Best Metal Gear game since Subsistence

3. Grand Theft Auto V - Fun times when not on mission

4. Super Mario 3D World - Only played the first two worlds but fuck Bioshock Infinite

[Human Snorenado]

Voted for SRIV and PAD. Those were the two games I had the most fun with this year, easily.

[TakingBackSunday]

Zelda 3DS by far.

[Your Stalker]

Metal Gear Rising
Saint's Row IV
War Thunder
State of Decay
Assassin's Creed 4
Grand Theft Auto 5
Fire Emblem Awakening
Tomb Raider

in no order

[Cerveza mas fina]

The Last of Us is not only my GOTY but also in my top 3 for this whole generation and on my list of best games ever. It completely blew me away from the beginning to the end.

From that list ive also played gta5 (meh) path of exile (meh) tomb raider (yay) super hexagon (yay) and maybe one or two more that i didnt see.

[magus]

marlow briggs and the winnie the pooh baseball game

there is no other right answer

[tiesto]

Haven't really played too many 2013 games this year, most were backlogged stuff.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F
Super Mario 3D World
Soul Hackers
Volgarr the Viking
Mamorukun Curse
Tokyo Jungle
Ni No Kuni

Haven't played Zelda, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Tales of Xillia, Tearaway, Fire Emblem: Awakening, or SMT4 yet though. Those all seem like possiblities too...

[drew]

could only vote for Tomb Raider and SR4

[drew]

I'm always on the hunt for a mobile game that I feel drawn to playing rather than a game I'm more likely to pull out while I fuel up my car

people actually do this?

[patrickula]

This just reminds me of the huge backlog of awesome seeming games I have on Steam and haven't played yet. There are so many I'm not even comfortable voting 

[Stoney Mason]

Pretty easy selection for me.

GTA 5 by a landslide. Nothing else was even close.

The other good games I played this year.

NBA 214
Saints Row 4
Tomb Raider
State of Decay
Gone Home
Rayman Legends

A couple of special mentions: Battlefield 4 would make it under normal circumanstances for my list but the game launched so fucked up and is still so relatively fucked up that I can't rightfully put it there.
Bioshock Infinite and Last of US are two good games that probably deserve to be on my list but the overhype on both makes me hesistant to put either on there not that anybody would care what is on my list.

[demi]

i dont even know what i played this year. everything is a blur. dying is going be here before i know it.

[Raban]

I'm always on the hunt for a mobile game that I feel drawn to playing rather than a game I'm more likely to pull out while I fuel up my car

people actually do this?

Yeah when I have to put like $40 in it helps to pass that minute or two. It's more of an expression though, iOS has a wealth of time-waster games and even when I only have a minute, I'd rather play something just slightly engrossing over something mindless like Angry Birds or Tiny Tower.

[Himu]

It isn't safe to have cell phone out while you fuel your car.

Don't feel bad. I thought it was true too. Here's the Snopes article:

http://www.snopes.com/autos/hazards/gasvapor.asp

I wonder if the friction/static electricity thing from getting in/out of your car is true.

(Image removed from quote.)

They tested that on the same episode of mythbusters, and I'm pretty sure the general consensus on that was "busted" as well.

[pilonv1]

Brave New World

XCOM expansion has shitty EXALT missions and bad alien spawns

[benjipwns]

SO IF I MISSED ANYTHING TELL ME NOW BECAUSE THE RESET TOMORROW WILL BE THE ONLY TIME I DO.
