Fair enough I suppose, it just seemed unusual is all, that said now that I bother to look at your join date it should be obvious you'd know that by now.Arnoxthe1 said:
As for Aliens, it's just pretty bad, it's not as bad as some would claim and there is some fun to be had, it really just represents the absolute worst business practices this industry has demonstrated in recent times.
Hm, is the multiplayer at least playable now?SkarKrow said:
Nah, not the absolute worst. I would peg Sim City for that followed by Diablo 3 (yes, Diablo 3) just for the fact that they just REFUSE to make the game playable offline citing a bunch of BS reasons notwithstanding some other problems. The worst part for me though is that people are still playing it and singing Blizzard's praises.
My friend with a computer science degree and I, with my ability to memorise command line inputs immediately and find and edit anything I need in the damn CFG,s have managed to make the multiplayer more stable, but co-op is still finnicky to make work, though that seems to be resolved easily by playing LAN, but if you're not on PC that's just really not helpful.Arnoxthe1 said:
Never played Diablo 3, gotta be online and make more accounts.
Tie between Persona 4 Golden, Persona 3 FES & Portable(played both for the first time this year) and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. Overall some damn fine games I got to play for the first time this year
Puppeteer. Solid platformer, decently challenging, some unique mechanics, fun to play two player (playing 1p is more challenging), and the only PSMove (not required, you can use a second control and joystick movement too) title I've ever played.
All packed in an unique and incredible art style.
PS3 exclusive, but well worth the 40 bucks (it may have dropped from release price by now too)

It can be a GOTY candidate from another year? Excellent, because my answer is Arkham Asylum. Just got around to it and it's the most fun I had with a game all year. I actually haven't purchased any of the big hitters yet this year, except for Enemy Within, but that's an expansion pack. Gonna have a good backlog by the time GTA V comes out on PC.
I absolutely agree with you - I'll be playing GTA V on and off for at least another several months. But since it says we can't pick mainstream games from this year, and that was the biggest mainstream game there is...Seagoon said:
second choice would have to be Bioshock Infinite. God damn it, also a huge success this year.
Then I'd say Fez or Trine 2. Both were fantastic for similar reasons, so I really can't choose between them. And they both have oodles of collectibles, so I will be going back to both many times in the future.
I don't play a great breadth of games, but among the small handful I have played, I'll go with Risk of Rain. Unique mix of mechanics (time difficulty, new game plus-like, stacking items), classes with very different playstyles, humourous item descriptions. One criticism is a reasonably small pool of bosses and enemies, but it's a great game for what it costs.
Armored Core Verdict Day could have been number one except it's dying down a little bit and has been since it was quietly launched, once again crippling the somewhat improved in vain team-based territory system.

I really am seeing a lot of Risk of Rain posted in here, I think I'll definately have to grab that over the Xmas sale on steam and have some fun with it, it certainly did look intriguiing.MeChaNiZ3D said:
Ok... no. Relying on only one basic mechanic doesn't keep it from being a game. How is the difference in text any less viable than the difference in player movement?Rariow said:"What is a game" is quite a complex and interesting topic, and one I feel merits discussion, but after a good amount of consideration I came to a definition that I think works for me, that being "a number of interactive systems that interact with one other, designed with the specific purpose of creating a feeling or emotion in the user". This is, of course, just what I decided "game" means for myself, and can, and likely will, be debated.SirBryghtside said:What would you define as a game, and how do you feel Katawa Shoujo differs from that? No real reason for asking, it's just a topic I find interestingRariow said:
The reason I can't consider Katawa Shoujo a game is that it only has the one system that is interactive, this being the choices. Your making a choice doesn't change the way you interact with KS, just the text you read. In a game, any choice would have an effect on another system, even if it's something as basic as moving left or right in a platformer affecting your ability for vertical movement by putting a block above you.
Am I making sense here? I'm having a bit of trouble trying to communicate what I'm thinking.

With the gradual decline in quality of video games over the last few years, there's only one released this year that really deserves the title:
Age of Empires 2: HD Edition, released this year on Steam.

The best game I played for the first time in 2013 would be Beyond Good & Evil, of course. I really enjoyed everything in that game. Can't think of any weak hinges, bar the racing, but most of it is optional and for completionist psychos. Also the Batman Arkham Asylum & City games, brilliant games.
(the only 2013 release I've purchased is BioShock Infinite and haven't even played it yet)

My friend keeps asking me to play that but I've never got around to it, is the gameplay similar to civ?Witty Name Here said:Sins of a Solar Empire.
It's just... agh... more addicting than civ for me.
Just take Civ in space, make it realtime, and make the action like all the best "big space battles" from movies mixed into one. You've got sins. It's freaking amazing.
FOR THE UNITY!
