What's your favorite game this generation?

GTA IV

Never thought I'd like a GTA more than San Andreas, or put more hours into another GTA, but I did with GTA IV. I still play the game and will until GTA V releases.

Honorable mentions are:

RDR

Bioshock

Mass Effect 1 and 2

New Vegas

Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. jg4xchamp

And it could also be one of these. I think I preferred Demon's Souls just a tad bit over Dark Souls.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. Master_ShakeXXX

The Mass Effect Series

I dunno. Arkham City or Nier. One of those.

Master_ShakeXXX

Surprising choices. :o

Well, Arkham City is, anyway.

Don't hate, but COD4 maybe. It introduced me to online gaming and was a blast to play!Mr_Cumberdale

CoD 4 was a damn good game and is unarguably won of the most revolutionary if not most revolutionary game this gen along with Gears of War.

Demon's Souls had the "new" factor going for it. You can't really beat that no matter what.

Halo 3 for multiplayer and Bioshock for single player, with Oblivion following close behind.

I didn't have any complaints with Arkham City. It's basically flawless in my eyes. The perfect open world game.

Vanquish #1 third person shooter fo sure, and definitely in the running for best gameplay ever.

There's obviously better games though.

Fallout 3/New Vegas

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] I feel like by the time Dark Souls came out, it didn't even matter what it did better. I had just gotten way too much Demon's Souls in my system. I should probably give Dark Souls another go. See how it stacks up now. jg4xchamp

Well said.

That's a hard decision but I would pick

Uncharted 2

Bioshock

ME2

Skyrim PC

Fallout 3 PC

Its tough to pick a favorite.

I can easily say that SMG2 is the best game I played this gen, but favorite? IDK. Probably NG2 and NGS2 (both have strengths and weaknesses). Maybe Super Meat Boy.

between Bayonetta and Halo Reach, I don't know. I ended putting crazy hours into both games.

runner ups would be Super Mario Galaxy 2, Xenoblade, and Kid Icarus Uprising.

Mario Galaxy 2.OreoMilkshake

Pfft.. kiddy casual trash for babies. Same gameplay for 20 years. Not as good as 64. You only like it cause nostalgia, etc, etc...

How could I forget dem standerdz?.... motion controls ruined it btw.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]In that case I'm taking Galaxy 2. That game makes the original feel primitive in comparison. But sure I'd say similar scenario. jg4xchamp

The bird is the only one that bothered me... well the stingray as well to a lesser extent. I'm one of the psychos that actually enjoyed the balance ball though. Felt perfect to me.

But I see people on here b*tch about the waggle for extending jumps and I NEVER had an issue with that. Yet some (trolls) consider it game breaking lol.

The "waggle" for extending jumps wasn't bad at all. In hindsight it actually kind of fit the move, in that I can't really imagine getting as much satisfacton out of getting that extended jump if you just had to press the jump button a third time or whatever.

[QUOTE="Wiimotefan"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Anything that has to do with that stupid bird or mario balancing that ball are instantly ruined because they would control 100% better on an analog. Those sequences are low points in what is mostly a game filled with one great level after another.

I agree. It just feels right.

And yeahjg4xchamp, I hear ya on DKCR. That sh*t was just terrible. They really should have mapped it to a button.

I have to agree as well. It really made trying to get gold on time trials almost impossible since gold requires perfection, pretty much. That roll move was a stain on an otherwise great game.

Phew... time trials. That game was HARD. Even for an old school guy, I found myself out matched. But yeah, the roll certainly didn't do me any favors.

Dark Souls, Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2, Halo 3, Red Dead Redmption, GTA 4, TWD, Mario Galaxy, Bioshock, GoW3, TW2,

And Arkham Asylum/City

Killzone 2, the online component of this game got me really hook to online gaming for FPS.

Company of Heroes.

other great ones: Witcher games, Mass Effect series, Red Dead, New Vegas, World in Conflict

The Witcher 1/2,Mass Effect 2,Tribes:Ascend,Portal 2,GTA BoGT,Crysis and To the Moon

Red Dead Redemption

Fallout 3.

Its a tough call between:

Demons Souls

Dark Souls

Valkyria Chronicles

X-COM: Enemy Unknown

Far Cry 3

Doom 3 BFG Edition

Persona 4 for the PS2.

If that doesn't count then Valkyria Chronicles.
