Far Cry 3 was easily the most satisfying game of 2012

it was good up until the last 1/3 of the game, but good overall, and fun co-oplamprey263

It's really good, but Darksiders 2 was my GOTY.

Way too repetative and bland. The world was gave no reason for me to actually explore it. And don't tell me radio towers and enemy camps. I'm talking the want to actually explore every nook and cranny, and Far cry gave me no reason to do so. Money didn't really matter. After you hunted one thing you hunted them all. It's really fun for about three hours and that's about it.

The animation however was done really well for a fps.

Dishonored and Borderlands 2 come to mind. Borderlands more for the pure shooter aspect.

Oh and for the people talkign about AC3, I am enjoying that much more than Far Cry. I guess for me it comes down to how well made the world is in an open world game. And AC3 Boston and Fronteir is really awesome to play through.

I kinda lost steam shortly after getting the knife. I've played a little more, but its more or less been benched for awhile.darkspineslayer

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="TheEroica"] Don't kill it right before it gets insanely fun!!!! The lasat 1/3rd of that game is awesome fun. Basically, the Buck missions till the end are all excellent.TheEroica

Good luck if you do, because it's out of stock F**KING EVERYWHERE.

The most satisfying game was Hotline Miami 2012. My GOTY was Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Far Cry 3 was good, but the QTE boss fights kinda killed my will to play it, not to mention how repetitive it was and how some absurdities in the stealth system. 7/10 from me. Overall though, the game was too easy to be satisfying. And dont get me started on the bullet sponge animals that on higher difficulties would burn through an entire clip.

Still haven't played it yet which is unfortunate. Hopefully I can get it in summer time when there is a clear window for me to finish my humongous backlog of games. That is not even counting the games that are coming out this following months. 

...but a game that left me completly satisfied in 2012? Probably Dishonored or the Walking Dead. 

this game is my fav shooter this gen.

After playing Far Cry 3 I was so pissed I didn't get it day 1.

In terms of the outposts and some of the hunting, maybe. It certainly wasn't satisfying in regards to anything got to do with the story.

Outposts were imo the only good part about the game, but the outposts made up for the lackluster everything else. So still a 7/10 in my book.

I was like, I can't wait to fight the boss, and then after "I" won I was like "WTF is this sh*t". And I was really let down :(

Oh and I forgot about hte turret sequences. They too made helped make the campaign unenjoyable.

The game imo really was nothing but a poor man's STALKER (except for the fact that STALKER is actually challenging).

[QUOTE="TheEroica"] Im cool with your preferences as I too am not a big fan of QTE's, but we're talking about two boss qtes in a 40 hour game.... i wouldve rather a more realistic boss fight sure but the qtes were harmless in the overall scope of the game to me... Bullet sponge animals and even in coop though run rampid and can be irritating.TheEroica

The Outposts were good, great even. But that is the only part of the game I liked (the story missions, hunting, general exploration were very meh, hangliding didnt impress me at all).

I enjoyed what I've played so far. Love the hang gliding.

[QUOTE="Maroxad"]

[QUOTE="TheEroica"] But again we're talking about isolating a grand total of 5 minutes of gameplay in what was otherwise a large and robust game. How did you feel about climbing a peak, pinpointing your next objective, hangliding to it, releasing and parachuting into the outakirts of a camp only to stealthily pick off each guy one by one with razor precision? I actually felt depressed when i finished the 34th outpost.sts106mat

Hmm, I forgot about those, I always did those when I found them, and I didnt stop until I got the perfect score. Good fun, despite me not being a fan of the game's gunplay. They were varied enough and the goals were fun to pursue.

I got bored with it. I'll go back and finish it sometime I suppose. :|

My personal game of the year is The Walking Dead.

Far Cry 3 was amazing aswell, but its a pity that there's pretty much nothing to do once you've finished the storyline and captured all radiotowers and outposts. And collecting all relics and lost letters is way too unsatisfying, some of those relics are a real b*tch to find.

And there was too little Vaas in this game.

[QUOTE="jackfruitchips"]

Agreed. Just wish the story was better and the South map was not as good and fun as the North

TheEroica

No, that honour would go to Shogun 2 Fall of The Samurai. While It's an expansion it still counts as a seoperate game simply because of the unlimited replay value and new content it delivers. I put in more than 200 hours into Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai alone compared to Far Cry 3, which I was only able to play for 3 hours before I got bored and ended up never playing it again.

[QUOTE="Maroxad"]

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] trials of the rakyat, were the standout parts for me. every outpost was the same story, sneak up, knock out alarm, kill 6 people, the and, like I said it got boring, don't get me started on those fookin radio towers. TheEroica

Perfect scores for the trials, which means quite a bit over the required score for the max reward :P

[QUOTE="TheEroica"] Perfect score for the outposts? Yeah i went in looking for a perfect score but never beat myself up about it. Some of the radio towers were frustrating but nothing bad. After heil and i finish up the coop missions ill have that fuker thousand pointed. Anyone else want to jump in witg us? If we could get a hermit and sheep it would be pretty fun :PTheEroica
