I resolve to play more handheld games this year as well as increasing my PC gameplay. I've got a new PC and Nintendo 3DS but I've hardly done anything with them yet that I couldn't have done with Web TV with a word processor on the side. Such a waste of potential is deplorable.

While I'm at it,I resolve to undertake at least one project chronicling some aspect of gaming culture and history this year. That will likely involve making a few threads in gaming website forums,something that I haven't done since the early Noughties.

FINISH THE FUCKIN' GAMES! I have to restart Catherine because it's been so long, actually play through DMC3 HD because it looks like a good game and i've played Vergil too much in UMVC3 and I want to see his home series. The same reason I bought Okami was because I liked the look of Ammy in UMVC3 as well. If I pick up Darkstalkers and/or Viewtiful Joe at some point it will be the same reason. Capcom playing the long game in sales I see...

I will inevitably replay Persona 4 again next year, probably starting today because Persona 4 is so HYPE!

I hope I get better at League at some point. I have a feeling my FPS always hoving around 15 with 21 at best doesn't help. It goes down to 04 or even 01 very occasionally. You know those PC gamers who are like "Oh I couldn't bear to play at anything under 60, Oh heavens how ever could anyone ever put up with 30?!" Yeah fuck those guys. Maybe a better PC will be an automatic ELO boost?

[sub]Lol jk, as if I would touch Solo Q Ranked in a million years[/sub]

Oh and I would love to get good at Persona 4 Arena if it EVER gets even a solid release date in the EU, nevermind actually being released next year. Atlus you suck at publishing... Or having good publisher relations... Or whatever the hell the problem is. The game is fully localised, playable, out in the US with a good online community and tournament scene but nope, sorry guys, we have some problems so fuck Europe >.<

No more buying games until they come down significantly in price, I've thrown away too much money on day one releases.

Finally get into ranked matches of League of Legends, almost 1.5K wins in Normal yet I feel like I'll still get stomped in ranked.

I know what you mean with the whole P4A thing, I was so looking forward to it but after this horrible delay I just gave up and canceled my preorder because by the time it get's here the community will be pretty much dead apart from the new EU players.

I will pick it up eventually due to my love of fighting games and Persona but it probably won't be on release, if it ever happens. I'll wait and see what the communities like.

I don't know really, play more games may be one, I only really play for a couple of hours in the evening, it takes forever to finish a game. Finish games that I start, well the ones I liked anyway. I'd like to get a couple more platinum trophies too, but that is not an essential one.

I need to finish Xenoblade. That game is too good to leave at 60 hours and not halfway done with the story.
This. That game is so good, and really expansive. I wonder why I stopped playing?

Get Alpha Protocol yet? :p
You stalking my steam purchases or something? I just bought that like 2 hours ago xD along with Crazy Taxi (the world needs more Crazy Taxi damn it, not to mention Shinobi, Alex Kidd, Streets of Rage.... god damn it Sega! MAKE MO GAMES D: )
That would be weird...I just asked because that was not only the most recent Sega game I've played, but also the first one that came to mind. Here's a protip for it: specialize in AR, Pistol, and Stealth. That's all you need.

Finish making my mod for Skyrim so I can actually enjoy it. Slowly getting there, but I'm not very motivated for anything, and there is a LOT that I have to do, so yeah...

Make more Video Game Parody Cartoons. Also, get people to make some weapons for TF2 Workshop. I have Ideas, but I can't model for jack.

Thats how I roll anyway! :D

If you're a fan of platforming I'd say Sonic Generations is well worth your time, Sega finally made not-shit Sonic games, now they just need to start using those old franchises for the good of humanity...

Exactly what he said.
And Finish Dragon's Dogma + fix up a better PC gaming rig.
I'd also like to grow some balls and play more horror games!

Bad company 3. Hell. Yea.
Just got BF 3 and while it is decent. I still prefer BC 2 pure for the style of the game. Hope BC3 will be just about the same.

Anyway. Finish the games i just bought on the steam sale (and enjoy it dammit)plus others
- Sniper Ghost warrior 1
- Serious Sam BFE
- Metro 2033 (it was FREE, how bad can it be)
- Borderlands 1 and 2
- Assassin's creed 3. Just can't enjoy that game because they fucked up the controls and my sound is fucked.


Also, Post more on the escapist this year and annoy you all!

Mine is to focus on one game at a time! Just finished Dragon Age Origins and all it's DLC, next I'm onto Fallout 3, then Batman Arkham City, then Darksiders, then Mass Effect and after that whatever takes my fancy. I've wasted so much time trying to do so many games at once.

Honestly, just play more games. I only managed 2 2012 releases which kinda bummed me out, tho they were two great release (spec ops and Lollipop chainsaw).

But yeah, play more releases, mainly because I want to go into character design and I need to play more!

And finish the games I've still not completed:
-Persona 4
-Viewtiful Joe
-Brutal Legend
-Red Steel 2
-Rayman Origins

Hell yeah indeed. I prefer blowing up buildings to shitty controls and bad maps any day...

Metro 2033 is great.
AC3 is just awful.

I plan to kick off the new year with Viewtiful Joe! Seriously, that is one weirdly-awesome game.
