[QUOTE="freedomfreak"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="freedomfreak"] That's because it is. Gameplay-wise, it's a straightforward TPS. But with the setting, story, writing and characters it hits a homerun. And in that regard it's rightfully going to be called generic. Because it is a by the book third person shooter, that just happens to tell a good story allegedly. Gameplay-wise, I'd agree. okey dokey.
Binary Domain - Enjoyed the demo, but the full game was average at best. I was able to endure the horrible dialogue and story just couldn't stand how easy the game was even on the hardest difficulty. I would enjoyed the game more if they raised the difficulty and had enemies spawn non-stop as you try to progress the game. Surprised people are putting down ME3. Overall it was a great game. Only bad thing about the game was at the very end. Oh well their opinions.
[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="freedomfreak"][QUOTE="SNIPER4321"] if its like every other cover based TPS with regen health then its bad The gameplay is okay. The writing and story curbstomps the sh!t out of a lot games though. Crazy how people called it "generic", yet it's what military shooters should strive for. Hell, even games in general could benefit from having writing like The Line has. Because from the looks of it the general game design is fairly common tps design. It can get all the props it wants for what it tries to do with its story, but a game should not suck at being a game. Personally haven't played anything beyond the demo, and was instantly turned off by the demo. some games dont demo well. i wrote off the game because i played the demo and it was boring but luckily i got it on pc when it was like $20 and i couldn't be happier. its one of the best surprises this year.
its a good game on its own. just bad max payne game. cutscene after cutscene and terrible story, too much shooting and nothing to do, no exploring, no atmosphere.
So the game somehow has cutscene after cutscene with too much shooting and still has nothing to do? :?

While talking about the Max Payne series who's claim to fame was hardly the exploration, and more so because of the excellent action. The atmosphere and plot being leagues behind the first 2 is definitely noteworthy though.
Uncharted 3 by far. Bought a Playstation 3 with Uncharted 3 in a bundle early this year, god awful game that holds your hand the whole way through with a crap ton of aliasing. Can't believe cows hype that piece of garbage, as far as PS exclusives go God of War is way better imo.

Yeah I've never heard them be praised for exploration. And the other aspects may be true. But his statement is so contradictory

It was more long term dissapointment with Twisted Metal.
I loved the actual gameplay at first (when I finally got the game to work).
But then the lack of balance online really hurt it. All the Talon dudes would just fvck everyone up with Snipers. The starting cars sucked compared to later, meaning progressing through the ranks meant constant thrashings until you finally got enough Xp for rank 2 cars. Add that with the total lack of support by the guys at Eat Sleep Play and David Jafffe, who would rather blog about his stupid opinion instead of fixing the stupid game.

[QUOTE="Zeviander"]Mass Effect 3 by miles and miles. The game was fun, but the entire way the story played out and into the ending (I only saw the EC btw) made me never want to play any of the games ever again. It was like, since I knew the outcome, I'd have no desire to go back and change anything, or to even experience it again. At least with the first two games, there was promise of new and exciting adventures for Shepard and team. Also, inb4 texasgoldrush and dreman999 telling me how I "played it wrong" or "interpreted it wrong" or some dumb sh!t like that. im with ya man, im with ya...Mass Effect 3 was really dissapointing to me as well

Mass Effect 3 for the ending. Oh and for all of the people saying "bu but its the journey not the destination" yes most of the game was good but when you screw up the ending to a franchise that has been building up the endgame for several years it can ruin the game.
Guild Wars 2 Before people yell, im sure its a great game, its my first MMO i just wanted to try it out but i didnt like it in the end. The game is gorgeous though ill give it that i might have to play it just to see everything there is to see, hell the map is pretty. Wait, forgot about ME3, im switching to that, at least GW2 was pretty.

Guild Wars 2 is my first proper MMO too, and I bought it because it looked so fresh and exciting. It's quite hard to get around, there are a lot of concepts I don't understand. The tutorials could be alot better (I believe every MMO should have a mode where it's made for people entirely new to the genre) but play with friends who can teach you what to do and how, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. Get some friends to play WvW with you, and co-ordinate attacks and stuff. It's real fun.
I guess Mass Effect 3. I mean, I only got into the series as a result of all the controversy over the ending ( I've had the first one for years and decided I should play it if a bad ending could cause people to get so agitated) so it wasn't like I had any delusions that it would be a satisfying conclusion. But yea, that ending was pretty bad even with the extended one. I haven't even seen what the ending was originally like.
I haven't played many games this year, but Diablo 3 or Mass Effect 3 would be my choices. But the holiday gaming season has just started, so we'll see.
I haven't purchased a 2012 release to call disappointing.
I was disappointed with Deus Ex Human Revolution if that counts. I might go back to it to give it another shot, but it was like, just an OK shooter. :/

The problem you have with Deus Ex is that you're treating it as an FPS.
You realize you're supposed to go the stealth approach right?

That wasm't the problem. I tried the stealth route for the most part.My problem was one of the 1st quests where you have to retrieve a dead body, i screwed up with the police guy an then I had to sneak in some other way. I just got frustrated with it.
Every game I bought this year except R&C Collection has been somewhat of a let down Max Payne 3- clear room, cutscene, clear room, cutscene, slow-mo kill or be killed section, etc... Yawn Witcher 2- it's not bad, but not liking the combat system. seems like it just amounts to button mashing FF XIII-2- even though I enjoy the combat system the story is pretty bad to me ME3- fun except unfullfilling ending Sorcery- just a mediocre move game that failed to deliver

Not necessarily, it's entirely possible to play it all out. Course stealth is a hell of lot more fun and the more interesting path to take.
