Depends what he wanted from his RTS Multiplayer? not even a discussion; it's Starcraft 2 Single Player? as fun as SC2 was in that regard it's not as good as Company of Heroes, plus you have a game with some new car smell. Starcraft 2? not so much. Although it did do some pretty clever things for a RTS campaign.

I am still disgusted. Solid list, besides that, though. Kind of surprised by the inclusion of Spelunky, Crysis, and Fallout. Even more surprised that you would call a list with Fallout bitchin'.

I hate Fallout? Pretty sure the only one I think that is boring is Fallout 3. I can tolerate the originals, and I love their lore/narrative stuff. And New Vegas is pretty f*cking dope when it's working.

I do not like Obsidian all that much, because I don't buy the bullshit that "oh they are always rushed", because the words everyone should be using are "Obsidian is f*cking incapable of releasing a finished videogame". I'm not all that gung ho for RPGs, but New Vegas is legit. It's got a lot of different systems in place that make it worth replaying or something that makes the entire gaming experience entirely my own and unlike someone elses to a point, and some parts of it are genuinely entertaining.

I think narrative wise it can get pretty dull because Obsidian writing is way too robotic, and the combat itself can get boring really quick, but again I can do a lot more in that game than just combat so it's all good in the hood. So yeah other than GTA 4(which is decent I guess in its own right), those other 9 games are pretty bitchin

There were so many great games last gen that I could easily make a second list and it would probably not be that difficult to make a third; and this is not including multiple entries in a series (Super Mario Galaxy 1, Skyward Sword, Pokémon Black/White, Uncharted 3, Arkham Asylum, etc. could easily make the list.)

What a great gen. :) Easily one of the best if you ask me, and my personal favorite.

-----Main List-----

Red Dead Redemption
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Batman: Arkham City
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Halo 4
Assassin's Creed II
Bioshock
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Half-Life 2 (if this counts)

-----Secondary-----

Pokémon: HeartGold/SoulSilver
Grand Theft Auto IV
Dead Space
Mass Effect 3
Metal Gear Solid IV
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Prince of Persia
Left 4 Dead
NIER
Portal 2

Since PC gamers seemingly can't figure anything out without being told directly, I will try to explain this as best as they can understand.

OBJECTIVES:

[] Read the OP (Opening Post).

[] Get beardmad.

[] Post your shitty-ass, biased list.

[] Attempt to justify your taste in gaming by putting down console gamers' lists.

HINTS:


-Keep your eyes open, look down, and read what the text says.

-Click the "reply" box. Write shit. Click "submit." Act superior. Don't shave your neckbeard.

-When someone doesn't agree with everything you say, click "quote," dance around the question like a condescending asshole, click "submit."

This is super duper open-ended since we're not telling exactly everything you need to do, step by step, even though it'll probably have the same end-effect anyway.

I am limiting it to one entry per franchise to make the list more interesting. Don't need Mario filling the whole list (counting all of them under the same title, Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy, Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, Mario Strikers: Charged, etc.). The generation is limited to games released on the Wii, DS, PSP, PlayStation 3, XBox 360, and games on the PC from the years 2004-2013.

 

10. Dark Souls (not the Dark Souls: Prepare Edition, though, so it doesn't count towards the PC) (PlayStation 3, XBox 360)


9. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)


8. Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)


7. LittleBigPlanet 2 (PlayStation 3)


6. Alice: Madness Returns (XBox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)


5. Pokemon Black 2/White 2 Version (Nintendo DS)


4. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)


3. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (Nintendo DS)


2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)


1. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii)

Wii: 5 Games

PlayStation 3: 3 Games

DS: 2 Games

XBox 360: 2 Games

PC: 1 Game


Funny how PC gamers call the Wii a great "complementary console," when this list just proves they aren't getting much themselves, and the Wii is, in fact, kicking its ass.

Drasonak
Would make more sense if you explained why you chose those games, but then the only explanation you'd need is "Hi, I'm a sheep and Mario's got me high on mushrooms." Thanks for creating a nintendo fest. And Don't worry there're ten thousand mario/zelda coming for you to add to your list.

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]I think it's really funny that you don't count Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, but then you use a screenshot for it.Drasonak

You know what, I'm just going to post it anyway. **** it, I want PC gamers to know they've fallen for the trap and that their brilliant minds weren't enough to detect the truth. ;) I guess you don't learn everything in Starcraft, huh?

I go by the Central Standard Time Zone as an Chicagoan living in the United Sates of America. The clock on my computer is an hour fast, though, so this picture was taken about an hour before.

That was funny.

I probably will depends on how I wanna do it. Like do I wanna point out my picks for the 10 best games this gen? or my 10 favorite(which is still a very similar list). TF2 vs Reach is a toss up though. TF2 had no expectation(for me at least). Reach has to live up to Halo 2.

Yeah, it might be a toss up on hours. I played a lot of TF2 when I was in Charlotte on my roommates PC. But yeah Reach has the benefit of my friends and gufu people that I played with. Swockets, Skittles game mode about jumping in the air, on pure custom games to this day Halo is like the best in that department. Custom games other franchises? eh it's fun, it's not nearly as capable of being incredibly silly. F*cking 343 neutered that shit in Halo 4.

It's right in line with Bungie's cirlce jerk to themselves, their mind numbing snorefest, their inconsistent mess, their rush job, and that one time they were actually good in 2001 in the campaign department. Predictable, safe, and shaky at best additions sure, but it's a Halo campaign. It's as unremarkable a Halo campaign as Halo Campaigns have been post 2001, and the one in 2001 gets a lot of mileage out of pure nostalgia.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something (probably Mass Effect, but I've got a real hate-on for bloated game design these days), but I'd go:

  1. World of Goo
  2. Civilization 5
  3. Portal 2
  4. Company of Heroes
  5. Journey
  6. XCOM: Enemy Unknown
  7. Mirror's Edge
  8. PGR4
  9. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP
  10. Rockstar Table Tennis
