Very interesting list. Finally, someone jumps off the 'let's say Skyrim is the best game EVAR!' bandwagon, it was getting annoying.

Ia m surprised Witcher 2 was not on the list but it seems he prefers more indie and less well known games.

I agree with him for the most part but I do belive that Trine 2 should be there and Terraria as No1.

So it was: 1. Bastion 2. Magicka 3. Frozen Synapse 4. Terraria 5. WH40K: Space Marine 6. Deus Ex: Human Revolution 7. Dark Souls 8. Mortal Kombat 9. Shadow Era 10. Sonic Generations I've played all of these except for Shadow Era and disregarding the ranking, I found the list to be pretty decent, at least TH has some variety in his taste and is willing to give games the BOTD, hence knowing much better than the typical gamer what is and isn't a good game(not to say that he isn't biased because we all are to some extent, but at least he can give us the facts about games even if he thinks they're horrible which is what matters). Magicka is just flat out impressive for what I was expecting and it has what's possibly the best combat system I've seen in an isometric game and Terraria is probably the most agreeable game I've come across aside from maybe Minecraft.

He didn't say he didn't like Skyrim, he just said he hadn't played it yet.

Personally the only game I liked on that list is FS.

1. Bastion

2. Magicka

3. Frozen Synapse

4. Terraria

5. WH40K: Space Marine

6. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

7. Dark Souls 8. Mortal Kombat

9. Shadow Era

10. Sonic Generationslist

This list couldn't be any further from my own preferences, in all honesty I think it's a rather poor list. To each his own I guess.

Very interesting list. Finally, someone jumps off the 'let's say Skyrim is the best game EVAR!' bandwagon, it was getting annoying. Arthur

Not sure why his dismissing the game is so appealing to you...it's not like he even had some great reason for excluding it...he just says he really didn't play it and doesn't want to becuase lots of people like it...lol...what a hipster.

I think he was just fed up of hearing about it, it got to the point when he couldn't even enjoy the game.

Not sure if I agree with the list, but its his opinion.

HAhaa you're "special" if you enjoy Skyrim? I think you're special if you can't enjoy it, shows you can't enjoy a game which doesn't hold your hand :twisted:

That's what makes him a hipster...if people liking something so much causes him discomfort and results in him not being able to enjoy something...that's pretty much hipster material there lol. I agree though, it's his opinion but his reasoning is weak in my opinion.

then again he might be just trying to "promote" indie-games by having them all in his top 4 spots. If that is the case then I think that's not too shabby. Skyrim doesn't exactly need promotion considering it's rolled in about half a billion dollars (crazy)..

He didn't degrade Skyrim.

Ok, he dismissed it because other people liked it (and the crappy interface)...and you suggested he did so to promote indie games. My point is, it's not necessary. You can promote indies without having to dismiss/degrade/whatever other games. It's kinda silly but not really a big deal.

I did not say he did not play Skyrim deliberately to promote indie titles. You're just reading into things which are not there. I simply stated he put indie games as his top 4, possibly as promotion. And then I made a comment about Skyrim not needing promoting as it's sold millions, it was basically a nochalent comment with no double meaning behind it. .

Well we were all discussing his dismissal of Skyrim...and you made those comments. You also started out by saying "then again..." like you were responding to something and giving his reasoning.

Dude get a life and stop trying to pick peoples minds over text on the internet. I was discussing the thread, not any one post in this thread. If I was adressing a certain post in this thread I would of quoted. If I was trying to say that he dismissed Skyrim because he wanted to promote indie titles, I would of typed that clearly in text.

ie " He's dismissing Skyrim so that he can promote Indie titles"

I did not say that, I simply stated Skyrim doesn't need promotion because it's sold millions. Don't read into things and don't be anal about things not worth being anal about, you're not as clever as you think.

Stop whining...your post wasn't clear and there was a misunderstanding...it's not a big deal. Read through the thread and look at your response in context to the conversation, not hard to see why there was a misunderstanding.

Maybe watch the video? Or if you're only reading the description, then why miss the 'Thumbs up for arbitrary milestones that don't matter a damn bit!' right above the list?

My personal game of the year is Dark Souls with Portal 2 close behind. I haven't played Bastion yet, but I did buy it in the Steam sale the other day. TOR is consuming my life though

2. Bastion

3. Skyrim

4. Deus ExHR

5. Portal 2

6. Terraria

7. Dungeon Defenders

8. Dead Space 2

9. Dragon Age 2 (Yeah, thats right, i actually LIKED it)

10. Red Orchestra 2

Worst game of 2011: Saints row the third. Seriously, after absolutely loving Saints row 2 this ....was just terrible in comparison. Basically just watch Angryjoe's review.

Interesting, still have to play a lot of games from that list.

It's hard you know, to make an absolute list of the best games of 2011, there were just so many good ones, who had the time & money to play them all ? (unless it's your job ofcourse)

With that list he's trying too hard to be original.

ShimmerMan



Why ? He backs up his opinions on why he chose those games.

SR3 is, without exception, far better than both of those, for what they try to do.

For the question: What are you talking about? And no, SR3 isn't as good as SR2. The story was poorly written, the side activities were either bad or taken out, endings sucked, honestly felt like enemies were total bullet sponges, annoyingly linear story, etc.

It is, for the price. Had it been, like, an indie game for 10 bucks sure it wouldnt be the WORST, but at full price with a 10 hour story and mediocre multiplayer, then adding in all the problems with it, it pretty much was the worst.

Mine has to be...

1. Portal 2
2. Skyrim
3. Saints Row 3 (I didn't like 1 or 2 and this one blew me away)
4. Batman AC
5. Dead Island (coop only)

I couldn't list any other games, these were the only ones I liked this year enough to put on the list. I wish I could love Battlefield 3 but I don't want Origin, I don't like Battlelog, the maps suck but the Karkand pack and the Single Player is **** I also wished I loved SWTOR but it is just another WoW clone but this time with cutscenes you want to skip all the time.

Bastion is also my GOTY. But I like that list, it's interesting and not so predictable - it's very genuine to what they enjoyed as opposed to what was big or critically received.

That's the basic reaction to anyone's opinion on the internet.

After all, that's exactly what TB provides.

I watch TB's videos from time to time and I like how frank he is about everything. Unfortunately, I'm not really into indie games at all (probably too spoiled by constant AAA releases to bother with them), but he is rather insightful at times.

As for me:

1. Catherine

2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

3. The Witcher 2

4. Portal 2

5. LA Noire

6. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

7. Battlefield 3

8. Total War: Shogun 2

9. Duke Nukem Forever (Yes, I liked it.)

10. FEAR 3

A very interesting list, actually. The large presence of indie titles is somewhat understandable, bearing in mind a large, and arguably the most popular, part of his job, what he does, is raising awareness for indie games through the 'WTF is' series, and there were a bunch of titles on there (the top three especially, Bastion, Magicka and Frozen Synapse) which get overlooked for these awards an awful lot more than they deserve to be. I personally greatly respect TB's opinion, I don't always agree with it, but he is very knowledgeable about what he does, a lot more so than other popular YT personalities, which I find rather refreshing, and he has a certain set of standards in his videos, a certain professionalism which others lack, even if rather a lot of his gaming tastes and opinions don't match mine.

I don't really agree with his list. I'll leave it at that.
