The Year in Gaming... This Seriously Made Me Cry

Found this video on the game freaks blog. It seriously made me tear up. Really drives home that our favorite past time is totallly coming of age. There are a few games here that I thought sucked, but overall it's a pretty damn amazing sum-up of the year. Makes me realize how many great games really did come out this year.

Seriously, watch it.

And not a single niche indie game was seen on this day.tagyhag

This year wasn't that bad. Far Cry 3, Hitman Absolution, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3 and Kingdoms of Amalur. It might not have been as awesome as last year but it had some great games.

I agree. I think this year only suffers by comparison from coming after what will definitely be remembered as the best year of this console generation.

I enjoyed this year; there were plenty of games that I thought were better than good.

It disgust me ho so many games have to be about bloodshed (shooters etc.)...

So we see a few clips from games and someone get all whiny about cutscenes in games.

If it was all indie games then it would be somthing to whine about.

Damn, this year went fast. It looks like it was yesterday that everyone was whining about Mass Effect 3 ending or Diablo 3 being a huge disappointment.

Damn do you just cry at the sound of a piano or whatJML897

There were a handful of exceptional games in an otherwise unimpressive year.

2012 is easily one of the most under looked years in gaming.

• Mass Effect 3 (yea the ending sucked but GD did some of the events that unfolded in that game just wowed me)
• Far Cry 3 (probably one of the best SP FPS I've played since Bioshock)
• Xcom: Enemy Unknown
• Borderlands 2 (I thought it was a lot better than the first one)
• Sleeping Dogs
• The Walking Dead
• Hotline Miami
• Guild Wars 2
• Planetside 2
• Mark of the Ninja
• Fallen Enchantress
• FTL
• Max Payne 3
• Dragon's Dogma (terribley underrated)
• Lego Lord of the Rings
• Legend of Grimrock
• Hitman Absolution
• Dishonored
• Binary Domain (I thought it was underrated)
• Assassin's Creed 3
• DayZ mod

I lol'd.

Lol, might have been the minor keys that brought forward the waterworks.

Games that impressed me this year:

Mass Effect 3 - endings suck but what a journey, Javik one of new my favorite characters

Starhawk - best multiplayer / co-op I've played this year

Dragon's Dogma - incredible combat in a rpg

Dishonored - fresh ideas in stealth

Far Cry 3 - why oh why did I waste money on Assassin's Creed 3?
