Favorite Game This Year?

[Aric Flowers]

Deus Ex HR. Absolutely love this game

 

[GrimGrimoire]

Well, even though I would like to bellow "SKYRIM" at the top of my lungs, it was released last year.
Come to think of it, I haven't bought any games this year, that actually came out this year. Not any major ones.

So, even though I would hesitate to call it a game:
Katawa Shoujo.

Because Emi. And Lily. And Hanako.

Mass Effect 3 will be hard to beat, 10 minute of meh at the end doesn't ruin a fantasic game, and I've becomes addicted to the multi player, ChargeNovaChargeNovaChargeNova

Oh Vanguards! You guys really piss off my friend and I. There was one player that my friend and I encountered in a couple games and he kept taking all of my friend's and some of my kills. The guy ended each game with almost triple the score of my friend, and it wasn't because my friend wasn't trying or doing good. The guy was literally taking almost 3/4ths of the kills.

We got really tired of it, so we intentionally didn't revive him if he got knocked out. We were easily able to hold our own without him, so it wasn't a problem to let him die.

TBH i usually play Shotgun infiltrator, I do have a lvl 11 VG called "WEEEEEEEEEEEE" mind. but Sod VG vs Reaper units, Brutes/Banshees instakill + charge = "fun"

So many games coming out this year, most likely will be BioShock Infinite, as BioShock 1 and 2 are up there with the original Sonic games and the Jak and Daxter trilogy for favorite games. Although Prototype 2, Rayman Origins, and Hitman: Absolution will be a close second I reckon.

 

[Darknacht]

Does Wasteland 2 count?
Victoria 2 A House Divided is my favorite the is out this year.

 

[RyoScar]

Well this year's just started so I gotta go with one from last year: Skyrim. But I like The Darkness 2 as well, and even though it's been out in the USA for ages it's only just been released here; I gotta put Catherine up there as well, I love that game.

 

[arnoldthebird]

I have only bought KoA: Reckoning and Twisted Metal

TM takes the cake, fast, fun and brutal. Best car combat game in yonks!

 

[Beryl77]

It's a bit early and last year I wouldn't have been able to answer this question so early because it was packed with games I was looking forward to. This year doesn't have any games I'm really interested in, which haven't been released yet.
Well, now I have time to finish many games that have stayed unfinished for years or games on Steam which I haven't even installed once.

Anyway, I doubt anything will beat Mass Effect 3, maybe Guild Wars 2.

 

[Deceptive_Trixter]

I pick Shin Megami Tenseievil Survivor 2. Too busy with school to play it though.

 

[hctib_elttil]

street fighter X tekken is the only game I have bought this year that i really enjoyed
that is so sad

 

[Andaxay]

Dungeon Keeper. 'Cause sod all else has interested me so far this year so I've gone back to the oldies. Looking forward to Tomb Raider, though, and I might pick up Diablo III when it finally comes out.

 

[NathLines]

God damn it, it's March. At least wait until the summer is over to ask stuff like this ffs.

As for games that I know I'm going to buy and look forward to, it's just Guild Wars 2. Not even going to get ME3 sadly.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

You mean 2011? Dark Souls, easily.
2012? So far, Soulcalibur V unless you include Blazblue CSE as a new game.

 

[Tony2077]

i like me3 but the award will have to go to tales of graces f that may change in the months ahead

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Mass Effect 3 by a long shot.

Followed by Journey.

If you have a PS3, you owe it to yourself to download Journey. It's absolutely beautiful.

 

[F'Angus]

Can I count Skyrim since the PS3 update that made it actually playable came out this year? Haha

Though tbh so far my favourite is Starhawk... been playing the beta a lot and I think it's brilliant.

That and I started playing CoD: World at War again and I still think it's the best in the series by far.

 

[Rawne1980]

Favourite games this year ..... in the third month of said year ..... *insert raised eyebrow here*.

My favourite game released so far this year is Kingdoms of Amalur - Reckoning.

 

[drednoahl]

I got that many games in the Steam Holiday sale that I've not really looked at getting any more - I've still got twelve that I haven't even tried yet.

Everything I have tried on my mates 360 or PS3 though has either been a total letdown or not different enough from their predecessor to warrant purchase. There have been a couple of recommendations in this thread I'll keep my eye on though - I've not played Catherine yet (as mentioned earlier, it's just come out in the UK) and Journey looks very interesting too (would have to borrow a PS3 for that though.)

I would have liked to say Soul Calibur V (I bought a PS1 for Soul Edge, a Dreamcast for Soul Calibur, Xbox for Soul Calibur2, a second PS2 for Soul Calibur 3 just after I'd sold my first one etc... I'm a big fan) but no Taki = no sale.

 

[SomeBrianDude]

Really enjoying Catherine right now. My flatmate and I tried it on hard first time, 5 hours later we were still on the third level. Had to knock it down a difficulty to progress, been a while since that happened.
Mass Effect 3 is calling my name, though. Can't wait to get back to my flat to play it.

 

[ResonanceGames]

My most anticipated is definitely Dishonored. Prey 2 is also looking pretty spiffy, but Dishonored is by far the most fully-featured game that looks like it caters my taste.
