[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] How'd you like Revelations, then? I find that it gets an unfairly bad rep. The ending, especially, is incredible, and it totally ties so many loose ends up at once, it's unbelievable. I liked ME3 a lot when I first played it, though it's easily my least favorite in the series. Gotta go back and play through it again though.

Assassins creeds story is quite frankly one of the reasons i always go back... i loved the setting, Constantinople was great (though Rome was my favorite) and I really really liked the arch of the game... it was almost like a spiderweb of plots converging together... ezio, desmond and altier colliding in a fantastic end to ezios story.... truthfully it was a tad on the short side and a few new game elements i avoided (den defense blah) but yeah im with you... it was an outstanding end to ezios story and a fantastic set up to, judging by our sigs, an insanely hyped ac3... cant wait to compare notes. Didnt know u were a big fan.

Big fan? Bro, Assassin's Creed is my favorite series this generation, and Assassin's Creed II my favorite game of the generation :P And yeah, some of the stuff felt insanely mundane and tacked on. The Tower Defense was bad, and good god was that rope hookshot underutilized. It should have been so much more. Still, it was a great game, very well done, and I can't wait to see how AC3 turns out.

Yeah, outside of the Holy Mass Effect trilogy, AC has been my next favorite... the gameplay alone and the freedom to go anywhere in that fluid style was satisfying enough... the excellent premise, story and characters made it all the more satisfying. The hookblade had its moments for me but yeah, it was more an aesthetic thing to show the difference between two different dens of assassins than an actual useful tool.. (it was also a nifty way for ubi to allow players to scale a building faster ;) ) ultimately, AC3, by all accounts looks to be a game I couldnt design in my dreams... Im REALLY excited.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] no, you have bad taste because you hype garbage like nier and think metal is music :lol:Master_ShakeXXX

And you probably think rap is music.

Er, where were you when we had this dispute in the Halo 4 hype thread? I had to fend off hordes of little rap loving wannabe thugs all by myself:x

lulz, im the furthest thing from a wannabe thug. a lot of people think im white :(

[QUOTE="TheDidact"][QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

In BL2? Never heard of a graveyard glitch. What is it?

Master_ShakeXXX

On PC and 360 if you play Coop you can get a glitch where once you die you go into spectator mode and if you try to back out/restart you lose all of your saved data. The glitch is also contagious. Your save appears with .graveyard or something. Some pretty freaky stuff. :|

I have the PS3 version so that's probably why I haven't heard of it, unless it's on there too.

Gearbox is looking into killing it. It was created by hackers and is known as the graveyard.sav

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Oh come on brah, that is so awesome. Takes the best from pulp science fiction, pulp thrillers, conspiracy theories, everything, and wraps it all up in one great narrative.

I am so disappointed in you right now. You have no idea.

Brah, sometimes I like mindless stuff :P Assassin's Creed gives me just that, so I'm not complaining. Did you watch the 2 minute clip I gave you?

Yes. It's still stupid.

Mass Effect peaked with 2. I wish 3 had lived up, but it didn't, it was Metroid Prime all over again, even without the ending.

Assassin's Creed looks great so far. Hoping for a GotY worthy game here!

And yeah. Totally agree about the free flowing movement aesthetic. And to think it started life as a Prince of Persia next gen mod.

nope, mastershake said that he had to fend off wannabe thugs in the halo thread when we were discussing music. i was one of the people trying to show him that not all rap has to do with "gangsta" things. naturally he just ignored every one of our points. i never said anything about black people....dont know where you got that from.

Uh....Far Cry 3? Hitman Absolution? Guild Wars 2? Borderlands 2? XCOM Enemey Unkown? Max Payne 3? Mass Effect 3 (to our dismay perhaps)?

Why do people just focus on those two games? I may not have been very interested in what 2012 had to offer but cripes there are WAY more games than those two that deserve GOTY.

I think Dishonored will get the crown.

The more sequels a game is getting, the more boring it will get. Just like Halo 4 which I have no interest of and I don't think I'll get it. I mean there are better games out there. The 360 simply can't handle a better game than Halo 4, so it's stuck with inferiority.

Dishonored is amazing, so yeah I think it's the one that will get GOTY.

Because they have the most popularity and advertisements, nothing more. (jugding by the recent Geoff-gate, probably a little bribe cash too for higher scores too)

If someone thinks a halo or ac is going to win GOTY here they are simply wrong. Its going to be bewteen xcom, gw2, dishonered, and maybe another game or two im forgetting (not CoD/MP3/ME3/RE6 LOL RE6)

I'll admit that the only thing im not sold on as of yet is the demigod bit. Though, with that said, not enough has been revealed and I like that... its a lot of speculation right now, but it's the only part of the story that could have holes in it... aspects of the story like the "truth"/glyph aspects of AC2 are literally some of the best story support and side puzzles Ive done in the medium... I cherished every one of those glyphs.

It really is time for Halo to win. Every time a Halo comes out GS gives it that epic 9.5 but never gives it that great GOTY title. Even Halo CE, as amazing as it was at the time, didn't win. With Halo 4 under a new developer and looking spectacular, GS better consider it if it turns out as good as it looks.

In your list AC3 is the only game I would consider GOTY. Halo 4 has nothing on Black Ops 2, sorry 360 fans but Black Ops 2 is going to win best shooter of the year, no doubt about it. Dishonored is too short to win GOTY, RE6 is good but not amazing.

I see GOTY coming down between Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3, and Assassin's Creed 3.

Halo 4 has a really good chance of winning. It looks fantastic and I don't even own a 360.

It's so easy to ignore that though :P [QUOTE="TheEroica"] wow, I never knew that... really cool. Assassins of Persia? :P I want to get into this ME thing... simply based on my curiosity as to how anyone played ME3 and didnt hail it as the game of Gen (admittedly, ME1 has always been my GOG). It was a brilliant hybrid of what made ME1 and 2 great and I challenge you to replay it, with all that emotionally driven content that built over two previous games and tell me Bioware didn't absolutely nail it in the last chapter. yeah yeah, we all have our feeling on the ending, but damn, the white knuckle fight for your life final chapter, to me, resonated in a major way... side note, in my review I wrote I gave it 9.5 out of 10... My gripe was a poor mission log and some meaningless planet scowering and reaper chasing on the normandy was kinda lame...

Lol yeah, they were originally trying to develop a concept for a next generation Prince of Persia game for the PS3, when they realized that they could just make it a new IP altogether. And thus Assassin's Creed was born. The first Assassin's Creed game actually has a lot in common with the Sands of Time trilogy, as does the series as a whole. Now, as for Mass Effect 3- there is one, erm, problem in how I approach games, and that is that I place an extremely large emphasis on the atmosphere (assuming the game is narrative driven, of course; atmosphere in Mario Kart would be slightly out of place). Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 nailed the atmosphere, and both conveyed the drama and the emotion of their stories very well. Mass Effect 3, on the other hand, I can only say did not. I mean, yes, it was epic, sweeping, grandiose, but my problem with the game and how it was handled was that the characters all seemed to somehow underwhelm, fall flat. I couldn't connect with any of them. In Mass Effect 2, there's a scene on the Omega space station where you stop a kid from joining the mercenary gang. That is such a downplayed and restrained scene, and yet somehow, it spoke so much: Shepard is saving the galaxy here, but that doesn't mean the individual human has to be sacrificed to save it. In Mass Effect 3, those scenes simply didn't resonate with me, they simply failed to connect. Like in the first mission itself, with the kid in the escape pod, it just came off as too heavy handed, I just couldn't connect to the game at all. It undermined the atmosphere. Sorry, I rambled too much :P

Journey might get a nod since that was highly received as was Mark of the Ninja. I think both of those will be nominated.

In your list AC3 is the only game I would consider GOTY. Halo 4 has nothing on Black Ops 2, sorry 360 fans but Black Ops 2 is going to win best shooter of the year, no doubt about it. Dishonored is too short to win GOTY, RE6 is good but not amazing.

I see GOTY coming down between Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3, and Assassin's Creed 3.

Black Ops 2?!

I feel like doing this to you right now.

What makes halo more hardcore/better than BO2?

Of course, Halo are better games than COD. It's just better.

Halo 4 has a really good chance of winning. It looks fantastic and I don't even own a 360.

I just don't see it beating Black Ops 2, I personally know people in real life who unfortunately have the game already. I don't support piracey, I hate it and I frown on the people that do it. Not going to spoil anything, but don't expect much from the campaign, it's rediculously short, it's like it was an after thought.

Im gonna say "WONDERFUL 101" or "PIKMIN 3"as theyre not the usual games which are relased. Wonderful 101 is by my favourite developer of this generation .

Mine has been Resident Evil : Revelations from what i have played.

Mass Effect peaked with 2. I wish 3 had lived up, but it didn't, it was Metroid Prime all over again, even without the ending.

Assassin's Creed looks great so far. Hoping for a GotY worthy game here!

And yeah. Totally agree about the free flowing movement aesthetic. And to think it started life as a Prince of Persia next gen mod.

W. T. F. Did I just read? The worst game is where it peaked? And you compared it to Metroid Prime, where the ONLY game of actual relevance is the first one?

Unfortunately, it seems that you have terrible taste in games if you think Black Ops 2 is such a major FPS game that could win GOTY...

Finalstar is in the same boat as you. WTF is wrong with cows? Why do cows like crap games that soccer moms and gamer grandmas like to play?

Shameful... Shame on cows.

Halo 4 wont be the best shooter this year. (Max Payne 3)

el3m2tigre

Dude, Max Payne 3 sucks so bad

I thought it was pretty good. Had so much fun with it.

That's how I felt about Maxy Payne 3, "pretty good". It was fun enough to play, but nothing great. Not GOTY caliber.

If you have to ask that question you either haven't played a modern Halo game or simply enjoy feigning ignorance.

That's merely your opinion. I think you have terrible taste in games too, how about you stop caring about what other people play? If your games are SO great why don't you just go play them? Why are you on here trying to "convert" people to your terrible taste in games?

Very true. From a gameplay perspective.

From a world-building and story-telling perspective, BioWare had the influence (even if CD Projekt was there with them in 2007, but BioWare was bigger and more influential).

NeonNinja

BioWare hasn't really influenced any other RPG studios, though. Mass Effect does nothing that KoTOR and other games did years ago, save allowing your "decisions" to carry over, none of which actually mattered in the end.

I'm at work so trying to keep these short. :P And my boss is near me.....

I think it has had more of an influence on gaming outside of and within RPGs. If we look at the success of Mass Effect, we start to see how the grander story-telling made way for games to start telling their stories as trilogies, how "choice" in general began getting more implementation in games than before. At the end of the day, ME1 is just a real-time KotOR, ME2 is a character driven Gears of War, and ME3 takes the best aspects of both and combines them. But the idea of building proper, unique worlds also had a major part in gaming this gen. The evolution of dialogue systems came about as well. It's not new in how it plays in anyway at all, if anything it took inspiration from Gears with its later sequels, but it has been influential for many people.

Lots of games have been envisioned from the beginning as trilogies. This is nothing new. Player choice has actually been lessened more than expanded this gen. And games have put an importance on world-building since the first RPGs. I don't know how you think all this stuff that has been done before and done better is somehow new and influential now that Mass Effect does it.

If I was a betting man I would put my money on AC3 with Dishonored slightly behind. Can't think of any other game that has a shot tbh.

You sure seem to like awful games, though. :D Seriously, bro, so disappointed with Assassin's Creed's story right now, especially after you people hyped it to the heavens.
