or kingdoms of amular or darksiders II

all of which i keep almost getting but dont

so no votes for witcher 2?

witcher 2 is p awesome but it also came out in 2011 which is when i voted for it

I could only play Splunky for about 2 minutes.

big hearty lols at non-placement of blops2 and low placement of AC3

xpost ahhh thats right, the 360 version is the only one that came out this year iirc

If it was iOS I'd probably like it more but that type of game where I have to start over and over and over doesn't work well on a console for me.

Frog Fractions ;_;

Why do people hate you so, when you are so perfectly formed?

also missing with codblops and spec ops are asura's wrath or syndicate or sf x tekken or kid icarus uprising or closure or any kinect game or tribes or sniper elite or ghost recon or tiny wings 2 or papo y yo or dust or counterstrike or guild wars 2 or madden or WOW or pokemon or skylanders or epic mickey or zombiu or persona or scribblenauts or lotsa stuff

Anyway, is it even vaguely worth playing the Flash Fez linked to up there, or will it be poor a mimicking as Portal: The Flash Game? Fez was definitely the #1 thing that showed up in my streams from games-minded friends, but I never got a chance to access it...

*as

3rd place is a weird place for something that people "hate so" tbf

holy shit spelunky AWESOME

or game party champions all-time wiiu masterpiece

as outside the ilm mainstream i feel during the end of year polling, i feel totally ilg mainstream <3 u guys 4eva

when's the board title changing to I Love Casual Games then?

xcom + spelunky are the least casual gaming experiences i can imagine!

this is a super gamey top 10!

better than than I Love The Impending Dinosaur-Like Meteoric Destruction That Will Be Console Games

Ha, it's true. I just wasn't around to make the obligatory "TOO LOW" posting when it came up, felt the need to express some sorrow that it wasn't recognised as the rightful number one.

absolutely nothing casual abt frog fractions either, highest ranked "casual" game probably punch quest at 11 or 10000000000 at 14
xp

i played Spelunky and it felt like a pointlessly nerded out version of Boulderdash or something, i just don't feel the magic. still playable in short attention-span bursts tho.

i'm not even moaning as such, i don't have much interest in what consoles are offering at the moment. more an observation that a lot of people who i assume have been gaming since they were kids obviously feel the same way.

spelunky = platform nethack

nethack feels a hundred times more surprising/absorbing

maybe i haven't spelunked enough but that's the game's fault imo

nice poll everybody! have played hardly any of this. and probably won't!

tbf forks the reason epic mickey 2 is missing is because it appears to be unplayable complete horeshit

yeah i've played 5 games off this list and probly wd've voted for 2 of them. and they both involve football surprise surprise.

i think i might scratch the C+P itch by reading through the previous lists

first one is 2007 iirc?

Thanks forks and z s! Excellent job, and those gifs really take it to the next level.

yeah these threads are always a treat, love the heavy linkage and the beautiful pics

as outside the ilm mainstream i feel during the end of year polling, i feel totally ilg mainstream <3 u guys 4eva

OTM

what i played this year:

#8: Dishonored – PS3, X360, PC – 64 pts – 4 votes - 2 top game votes
#10: Trials Evolution – XBLA – 61 pts – 6 votes
#22 (Tie): Max Payne – PS3, X360 – 31 pts – 3 votes
#30 (Tie): Far Cry 3 – PS3, X360, PC – 20 pts – 2 votes
#83 (Tie): Assassin’s Creed III – PS3, X360 – 8 pts – 1 vote

i like marquee xbox shooters that aren't military

also Forza: Horizon which wasn't great but was waaay better than AC3, so worth a tie for #85 or w/e the f

ok i guess i should try frog factions, i don't even remember hearing about it (or at least absorbing those two words together as a unit) until this thread.

^ so dumb my brain is on fire

question i've always meant to ask, does "rougelike" have some in-jokey meaning or are there just a lot of motherfuckers who can't spell?

i assume there are just a lot of motherfuckers who can't spell

as outside the ilm mainstream i feel during the end of year polling, i feel totally ilg mainstream <3 u guys 4eva
