It's just the System Wars metagame...

It doesn't dictate whether you should enjoy the games, sheesh. :/

What do you mean? Most people here are saying this year was great for gamers.

I agree with them. There've been lots of great games, regardless of what they happened to score here. Anybody who thinks the year has been disappointing is a tad too hung up on the metagame.

Oh yeah, exactly what I was saying. People get too caught up on scores, and unfortuantly that even affects if they'll play it.

Had a look through the GS review scores for the year, interesting reading.

360) AAA: 10 AA: 26 A: 27

PS3) AAA: 8 AA: 26 A: 22

PC) AAA: 4 AA: 28 A: 17

Wii) AAAA: 1 AAA: 0 AA: 13 A:15

So actually a pretty good year for games, unless you only own a Wii of course in which case every year is a bad year so it's not like sheep will be disappointed.

Hasn't that been confirmed as coming to PS3? I have been wanting to get my hands on that bugger.

Master_ShakeXXX

I think the game is out on the PS3 in Japan,I don´t know if they´ll ever bring that version to Europe/US though.

They better bring it over here :evil:

That would be nice,although I don´t really think they will.

Not even close to disappointing, I'm buying more games than before and enjoyed most of them.

There have been flops, but there flops weren't necessarily bad, and there's been a pretty decent share of great/excellent titles. I think it's been a solid year overall.

Disappointing if you can't make up your own mind and just go with what reviews say.

This year being "A bad year for gaming" solely depends on what consoles/systems you have. As for me, 2010 have been a tremendous year for me.

Here's all the games that i have bought/played in 2010 and enjoyed:

BF: BC2

MAG

ModNation Racers

GOW3

Red Dead Redemption this was a surprise to me since i never played Red Dead Revolver)

Tasonoko vs Capcom

SSF4

SMG2

Blur

Heavy Rain

Castlevania: Los (Gamefly)

Metriod: Other M (Gamefly)

Here's the games that i haven't played, but want to get around to it:

Alan Wake

ME2 (I know that i have to play ME 1st)

Splintercell: Comviction

Vanquish

Enslaved

Kirby Epic Yarn

Split Second (it was either this or Blur, and i chose Blur)

Here's the games that i plan on getting in 2010 when they're released:

Cod: Black Ops

NFS: Hot Pursuit 2

GT5

So as you can see, 2010 have continuously been a great year for me, with more on the way, and 2011 looks to break my savings/checking account.

No, no, no way. I mean, the LittleBigPlanet 2 delay was a bummer but other than that I thought this year was a total success. We still got things like GT5, Black Ops and Cataclysm on the way, too. I expect two of those to get AAA.

In a year when two Blizzard games, one Frictional game and a AAAAE launch, you simply can't call it a bad year.

Just this Year alone we have Bayonetta, Heavy Rain, GoW 3, Starcraft 2, Civ 5, Alan Wake, SMG2, Halo: Reach, Cataclysm, Vanquish, Amnesia, Rock Band 3, Super Meatboy, Limbo, Red Dead Redemption, BC2, ME2, Epic Yarn, Other M. Hopefully we'll have GT5 by end of the year but I won't hold my breath.

Probably a lot more games but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

I'd say it's been a pretty damn good year for gaming. Probably one of the best ever honestly.

I'm glad almost everyone in this thread has enjoyed this year overall, I know I thought it was great. Too bad the holiday lineup is lacking.

This year was front loaded. There were a ton of great games early in the year, but the latter half has been pretty mediocre. Fortunately, there are still a lot of games from the previous years that I never played.

hellhund
I don't really agree with that personally... but it all boils down to personal opinion. I dont own a Wii so that cancels out a large number of games, but the only game i bought the first 6 months of the year was mass effect 2 and BF:BC2 (granted i would have bought Bayonetta if I wanted to spend more money, but ME2 was takinga lot of my time). I have since july bought a number of XBLA games (limbo and Meat boy that I can remember), Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Halo: Reach, have fable 3 arriving tomorrow, will be picking up black ops. Vanquish and Bayonetta are going on my black friday/cyber monday amazon browsing however... but yeah I have since bought more in july to now than the entire first half of the year.

It may not be as good as some other years, but come on, it has not been a bad year. Did you guys just start gaming? Remember 2003? This is no where near bad.

For the people who think that 2010 was disappointing, I'm sorry but you're obviously not very serious about gaming and SMG2, Reach, SC2, and GOW3 all came here to say that they would all appreciate it if you just stopped trying.

This year was awesome.

There were so many good games I was able to play this year.

  • Mass Effect 2
  • Bayonetta (which surprised me)
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Super Street Fighter 4 (was annoyed that it wasn't a update for SF4 but still fun game)
  • Starcraft 2
  • Halo Reach
  • Alan Wake
  • Dead Rising 2

If you look at GS list of games that came out this year there are tons of AAA and AA games that came out for all systems.

God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII came along with some other great games. It wasn't disappointing. It's just not the best year in gaming ever. majadamus

Yes, and also Halo:Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released soon. So no this year is not bad in my eyes.

The only thing I found disappointing about 2010 was Bioshock 2. Man how I wanted that game to be as good as the first. I never had a high expectation for FF13, and so far everything else I have played has been really good.

I've probably pre-ordered more games this year than any other I can remember so I'd say 2010 has been good so far. Of course I don't let someone's scoring a game .5 under the hype effect my decision to purchase it either.

This was grandly the most hyped year in a while, honestly at the end of '09 it seemed there'd be AAA games all year... there wasn't.
