2012 so far is weakest gaming year since 2008

Diablo III.....

Max Payne 3 is also coming out.

Let me run down a list of a few games that are in my head...

• ME3
• SSX
• Wargame European Escalation
• Bioshock Infinte
• Diablo 3
• FireFall
• Guild Wars 2
• Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm (I believe)
• Assassin's Creed 3
• RE6
• Max Payne 3
• GTA 5
• Starhawk
• Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai
• End of Nations
• Halo 4
• Call of Duty Black Ops 2

Just a couple.

This is no 2008. Hell, this could be another 2007.

Yeah so far...

By the end it will be considered one of the best. The amount of great games that are coming out . Pity some were pushed back though until 2013

No. 2010 was worse.Cherokee_Jack

2012 has been great so far for games.

2011 on the other hand, was overrated.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]No. 2010 was worse.DarkLink77

I've been playing Kingdoms of Amalur, ME3, and Xenoblade this year so far and have zero complaints about this year being "weak". Especially with games like Diablo III, The Last Story, Darksiders II, Torchlight II, Guild Wars 2, ACIII, etc coming out also. I'm more then content with this years lineup and especially since I have a backlog as well to tide me over.

2012 has been amazing so far for me, and it will only continue to get better.

See Wasdie's list for reference.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]No. 2010 was worse.Cherokee_Jack

2010 was much worse. Not one single good game. This year already got Journey

Halo 4, Assassin's Creed 3, Max Payne 3 and GTAV are some of the good games I'll be playing this year.

Looking back, I think the only truly great games that year for me were Galaxy 2, Meat Boy, Amnesia, and Picross 3D. There were some other solid games, but it was a bit of an off year.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] All a matter of preference I suppose. I never did play Red Dead and I don't care about Starcraft.Cherokee_Jack

I enjoyed ME2, SMG2, Reach, StarCraft II, Read Dead, God of War III, the list goes on.

The best times was when GTA IV and Fallout 3 came out.

After that its been weak.

Deus Ex HR livened things up for a couple days.

I'm not impressed with 2012.

The highlight of my year was Saints Row 3 and it wasn't that great.

Skyrim definitely made a splash, but after a while you notice it was almost as boring as Oblivion. It made me swear off Elder Scrolls because I just can't seem to finish those games for the life of me.

Still haven't played ME3 yet.

I'm expecting a 10 hour "cinematic" with nice cutscenes, aka "pretty bullschit."

OK, OK, take it off the list, still there are good games to enjoy until GTAV releases. Are you both happy now?:x

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] I suppose that would explain it. Still, though, 2010 had a lot of kick-ass games.DarkLink77

I enjoyed ME2.

Linear and cinematic.

A release date was never even announced.

Having said that, it's not logical at all to release GTA V this year, some people seem to forget that Max Payne 3 exists.

Yeah, this year blows like '08 and '09. I'll probably eventually get ME3 in the fall, but there are no must buys for me this year.

I haven't bought a single retail game yet this year. It has been incredibly slow for me. Luckily I have tons of games from last year stil to play

Final Fantasy 13-2 is my favorite game so far, Mass Effect 3 was a disappointment, Kingdoms of Amalur was a nice surpise.

Twisted Metal, Binary Domain, Darkness 2, Asura's Wrath, Syndicate were all fun to play.

Still have lots of super awesome looking games coming out later this year.

I'm actually enjoying this year more than last year, last year was pretty poor besides a few games.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]No. 2010 was worse.Stevo_the_gamer

People bought a solid copy of New Vegas?! Don't tell me it was for consoles..

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]No. 2010 was worse.DarkLink77

Get a PC

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]*Slaps you with Fallout New Vegas case.*Stevo_the_gamer

2008 was so bad, it only had games like God of War: Chains of Olympus, Ninja Gaiden DS, Crisis Core, TWEWY, Grand Theft Auto IV, MGS4, No More Heroes, Persona 4, Mirror's Edge, and Valkyria Chronicles.

Man, 2012 is bad too. All we get is Journey, Mass Effect 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Witcher 2 EE, Max Payne 3, Diablo 3, Darksiders 2, Guild Wars 2, Halo 4, AC3, BioShock: Infinite, Borderlands 2, Sly 4, Tomb Raider, CS: GO, and maybe GTA 5 and Heart of the Swarm.

Worst years ever for gaming.

2008 was fairly bone dry until the summer when MGS4 and Bad Company came out. Then had a strong fall. 2012 is doing the same other than ME3. If you got a Vita that helps a bit. Gravity Rush coming out in June is one of my top anticipated games. Diablo 3, Starhawk and Ghost Recon come out this month. The fall looks strong, but overall its been quiet so far. PS Store updates have been lame for weeks with no real demos of note. I've been mostly replaying old games and spending time on DCUO which turns out to be a solid game...needs more endgame content though. Anyone else agree?-ArchAngeL-777-

for there to be a launch lineup for nextbox and ps4 games had to have started development last year.

But why?DarkLink77

I hated MGS4, one of the worst games of all time iMO, i was laughing at the terrible low resolution graphics, the empty tiny environments, the crawling and boring shooting, everything felt like a bad joke TBH in this "game"

But 2008 was stuffed with amazing titles, i guess you did not have a xbox 360 at the time, because some of my very best games of all time came in 2008

Fable 2
The Last Remnant
Tales of Vesperia
Lost Odyssey

Fallout 3
Gears of War 2

Culdcept Saga
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements
Ninja Gaiden II
Infinite Undiscovery
Viva Pinata 2
Warhammer: Battle March
Dead Space
Far Cry 2

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Mirror's Edge
Left 4 Dead
Naruto: The Broken Bond
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Prince of Persia

.

If you have a xbox 360, you always have infinite amazing games to play

.

2012 is no different

.

Witcher 2 Enchanced best lighting, controls EDITION

Mass Effect 3 KINECT EXCLUSIVE EDITION

Fable Journey

Halo 4

Dust Elysian Tale

Skyrim expansions

Steel Batallion

Crimson Dragon

Haunt

Deadlight

Trials Evolution

Ryse(Crytek)

Battleblock Theater

Hybrid

Sine Mora

Forza Horizon

Wreckateer

Minecraft

.

etc

As always, xbox 360 has more amazing games than a human beeing can possibly handle in a single year

Obviously with a PS3 every year is a disaster, the longer game on PS3 is the now obsolete DemonS Souls, everything else is a casual 5 hour rent affair

It is understandable to have a terrible 2008 and 2012 with PS3, it has no games

2010 is by far the weakest gaming year. Only a few games I liked personally trough.

2012 so far has some great games, but nothing mind blowing. 2013 so far looks like its easily going to be the best gaming year
