Max Payne 3 is a sad game for being excluded 
. Anyway. I've only played two FPSs released this year and those are Halo 4 and The Darkness 2. Halo 4 wins for replayability and soundtrack but The Darkness 2 wins for characters, setting, story and gameplay.

Forgive me but I can't help but wonder what the faults were with the FPSs released this year. The FPSs released were quite diverse in setting, story and gameplay so I'd imagine at least one of them would be up in your alley.TakeshiLive said:
As many better FPS that came out this year...I'd have to say CoD Black Ops 2. Because that game raised the fucking bar so goddamn high when compared to previous CoD games. Decent characters, main character having a voice, actual cut scenes, longer than four hours, a decent story which made sense, a different ending depending on how you played (I think this is one of the best FPS to do it, so far).
As better games as there were, none of them have improved upon their predecessors as Black Ops 2 has done.

I want to say The Darkness 2 but...that would be cheating seeing as how I have only played the demo so...
Borderlands 2. Fun, wonderful art style and my god that game made me laugh! and oh yeah it was fun!
I just can't give it to Halo 4. That story actually caused me physical pain and not in the good way like it should have...if it just wasn't for those certain scenes this would have been a freaking fiiine Halo game/sci fi, but nope. Half way through Halo went for it and put its pants on its head and started running around the room with its tongue hanging out of its mouth.

It's not a sad year, just a year when a Couter Strike came out.TheKasp said:
If a Counter Strike comes out, everyone else loses whether it's 2004 or 1999. What's slightly more sad is that in more than a decade nobody's been able to improve on Counter Strike's digital crack formula.
Anyway...
Of what I've played this year:
Halo 4: Boring
Blops 2: Even more boring
Far Cry 3: Buggy, but quite a lot of fun.
Day Z: Paranoia made game
Planetside 2: very slow progression, but otherwise very good. The only one to actually move things forward in the gaming world this year.
Natural Slection 2: My favourite game this year, how Aliens games could be if they matched the hype.
I had a blast with FarCry3, so this is my vote. The campaign has a nice lenght and i had fun with all the side stuff like hunting and discovering artifacts. The coop-campaign is short but was also fun and there´s still the competive mp and the map editor to try out.
I bought Borderlands 2 and never bothered to finish it(maybe next year).
Darkness2 is also a good choice. It`s a bit short and i finished it as a rental early this year, 1 month ago i was lucky to get the ps3 special edition for 9.99euro. If you`re able to get it cheap, go for it, it`s a short but really fun game.

Presuming you aren't interested in PC titles, I'd say Borderlands 2 out of that and Far Cry 3 simply because I haven't played Borderlands 2. Out of that poll though, Halo 4 is a really good game. It's a little crappy in places but it's hardly noticeable.
While I don't regret getting it shortly after it was released, I was disappointed when I discovered that in the same day I began playing, I was already at the end of the story.TheKasp said:
I mean, sure, the first game wasn't all that long and you were wrestling with wonky mechanics half the time anyway, but it's one of the few games where I would say that the length of the campaign actually hurt the quality of the product overall. For something like CoD, 4-6 hours is a good enough amount of time for the story to not outstay its welcome, but The Darkness has so many different things going for its story that they could've packed a lot more in there.
out of the options given, ive only played Borderlands 2 and Halo 4, so im going to have to say Borderlands 2 because of the RPG elements and more humour it offered
although if Farcry 3 is as good as ive heard then that may replace it

Borderlands 2.
It fucks the competition so hard in the ass, it leaves them weeping.
Far Cry 3 on the other hand is a pathetically designed piece of crap that deserves to be mourned for the waste of potential it truly is.
I never played Far Cry 1 or 2 so i had nothing to judge this upon and i stood in shock at how spectacularly it collapsed.
A plot written by idiots for idiots, dreadful stealth and AI, a level progression that can and will kill any meaning of discovery(like there's anything to discover when the locales and collectibles are this monotonous) and boring, repetitive, badly written, pointless sidequests..
Far Cry 3 is a bad sandbox and a pedantic shooter at best.
While you are discovering it and understanding it, it is genuinely fun.
But a game is only as good as it what it strives for and attains and Far Cry 3 is an utter failure.

Farcry 3 is basically a dumbed down Borderlands 2. Farcry 3 has 1/5 of the RPG elements that BL2 offers. Also the loot system in BL2 can't be beat. Both are good games but for awesome shooter fun BL2 is the better pick imho.
PS If you go with BL2, like them on facebook. You get these golden keys that open a special loot chest.

I think I'm just a bit weary of the FPS genre a bit, it was all I used to play. Far Cry 3 on the other hand, now that I think about it, could change that opinion completely but it wasn't one of the Christmas releases I picked up.Nouw said:Max Payne 3 is a sad game for being excluded

Either Borderlands 2 or Far Cry 3. Both are excellent, but I tossed my vote at Borderlands 2, because I love the humor in it.
Personally, I love Borderlands 2, I already finished it twice and I still can't let it go. It's funny, has lots and LOTS of guns to chose from so you don't get bored using the same thing all the time, satisfying combat, good character customization, nice and diverse atmosphere and decent and lengthy DLCs (they are worth the money imo). And since you said you like RPGs, I'd recommend you this one. I tryed Far Cry 3 too, but for some reason I just can't get into it even though all the trailers and previews and reviews that I read and watched about it made me think otherwise, it just doesn't click for me.
