I don't get why people keep lumping Uncharted 4 into having no gameplay.
Most of the cutscenes are completely intergrated and there's plenty of game so ??what??
I enjoyed Uncharted 4 myself, no complaints from me. Still has more hours of gameplay than most (singleplayer) games.

The internet likes to bitch and call things bad when things weren't AS bad as previous years.
I'll take No Man's Sky fucking up over 2014's everything to do with GamerGate. As in everything.

That "It's better that nothing." clip is still amazing. Sometimes nothing is better than something that is one of the worst.
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine was basically on the scale of a small sequel and it was great.
The only games that I've played that came out this year were Stardew Valley and VA 11 Hall-a: A Cyberpunk Chronicle. Nothing much really interested me aside from Doom which I was too poor to buy.
[QUOTE=Fishmonger;51040992]Honestly outside of DOOM and HITMAN, I forgot all of those games even existed or was released this year (Overwatch had a closed alpha/beta since 2015 iirc), I dunno if it speaks to how they were marketed or just the overall quality of the game (probably the former), and if people forgot those then I worry about games coming during the holiday seasons having the same effect to those that are not people in the know.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure you forgetting that those games exist is a good measure of how great a game is.
[QUOTE=Saxon;51041939]Its a worthy successor and feels like a proper sequel unlike DS2
Nothing beats the original though
I feel like the AAA games scene has gone stale with sequel after sequel. At least DOOM breaks out of the box of conventional FPS games a bit but I wanna see more originality from the industry.[/QUOTE]
I honestly think dark 3 would rival dark 1 if it wasn't the third game, you feel? like there's no surprises or anything it's just "Another really good gothic, dark souls game"
Kinda like how bloodborne rivals/is close to dark 1 because it's completely new and original
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;51041359]Not as good as 2015 but I feel like 2016's still pretty fucking good.
I mean, guys, 2014 was only 2 years ago and that was a real shit year for games. 2016 is fine.[/QUOTE]
Dark Souls II, Shadow of Mordor, Alien Isolation, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Ground Zeroes, Mario Kart 8
and some less amazing but still really decent and fun titles as well, such as Far Cry 4, Sunset Overdrive, AC: Rogue etc.
I don't think there really has been a bad year for games for the last decade, apart from subjective opinions at least.
[QUOTE=bloboo;51043590]My favorite part of this year is how Randy Pitchford held Duke Nukem hostage for like 6 months so he could reveal an overpriced Duke Nukem 3D rerelease. I wouldn't be surprised if he held Jon st John hostage as well.[/QUOTE]
Don't forget how he made us listen to his [del]terrible[/del] fantastic song also

Why does this look like a game from last gen with missing textures
People like to shit on SFV, but it's tied with Overwatch being pretty much the only release from this year I'm playing
People saying this is a bad year for games are ridiculous.
Sure the lows are pretty low (No Man's Sky, etc) but there have been so many more great games than bad.
I don't know why but whatever game came out this year so far just feels like it came out last year. Either the games are this uninteresting or I'm just done with getting into new games.
[QUOTE=Ott;51042223]2014 game?[/QUOTE]
He said "the only game that I got this year", not "the only game that came out this year". I'm just suggesting that he gets Insurgency (if he doesn't have it already), because it's a good game and he probably won't regret getting it.
I liked Firewatch :cry:

It wasn't a bad game, just over-hyped and perhaps over-priced.
I feel like companies like Microsoft are just at this point focused on selling towards the "Nuclear Family" demographic. Yeah, there has been a lot of of good releases, but there were a bunch I saw that people brought up in the thread that were indie developed. Not to start throwing swings at indie games. They have a lot more flexibility of course with how the dev would want to create it, but they tend to appeal to an almost internet locked demographic and to make the game they really want, they have to strike up a lucky Kickstarter campaign. For obvious reasons, bigger gaming companies tend to have a farther reach, especially with kids and people who only play games casually and wouldn't notice or maybe even care that much about some things that people who play games as a hobby or avidly would.
It's that reason why I think people are more or less getting upset with triple A gaming blunders because they set the bar of what should be acceptable in an age of ever expanding technology. These are the companies that have the money, resources and [I]work ethic[/I] to make games than Indie devs who may have it looking great on a drawing board, but lack those resources.
I feel like all the internet drama with video games, youtube and Tumblr extremists is just going to get to a point where people put their foot down and say enough is enough. I don't know when. It could be generations from now for all God knows, but eventually it will happen. I think it's important to look at years like this as a dry spell or even a drought. It goes on for what seems like eons until one day out of the blue, it starts pouring rain for weeks on end.
Don't worry my friends, we will get through this together. We just gotta hold on and wait for the rain.
To me, Ace Attorney 6: Spirit of justice has been pretty fucking great so far. Porbably not everyone's type of game, but I love the franchise and AA6 has been a great addition to the series, a worhty sequel almost matching the quality of the original trilogy.
dead rising 1 came out on pc this year it is the best year

Yeah the "worst" year for gaming in recent has to be 2013, and even then it wasn't all that bad, just not good. The thing about gaming is that there will always be a bunch of different dev teams working on different games meaning there's bound to be something good in a year.
I was hyped as fuck for XCOM2 and it delivered pretty much everything I was hyped for, so that's the real winner for me.
I caved and got The Witcher 3 with all the DLCs this year, so it's been pretty good for me. Also DOOM, XCOM2, Overwatch, R6:Siege being alive and getting new content.
