Best game/s of 2011
January 6, 2012 at 5:22 pm
(This post was last modified: January 6, 2012 at 5:23 pm by Napoléon.)
So we are thoroughly into 2012 now, looking back at 2011 it hasn't been a bad year of gaming.
What games get the vote as best of year?
For me it's a toss up between one of my most anticipated games ever (Skyrim) and a game which I really didn't see coming (Batman: Arkham City).
Thoughts?

It is one of these thing that you either haven't really gotten into or have to masturbate to it daily.

Batman: Arkham City. Sadly much better than Assassins Creed Revelations.

There's a few I haven't played yet like Zelda and Portal 2. Right now I am inclined to say it's Arkham City simply because when you compare it to games like Skyrim and Battlefield 3, it is a programming marvel. So far it has been bug free and has a level of polish on it that Bethesda only dreams about. If Skyrim or BF 3 were programmed as well as Arkham City, either one would be my favorite hands down.

Assassins creed for me died after I played AC2. Gameplay wise it is pretty fun, but ACB and ACR look exactly the god damn same gameplay wise. Story wise, I don't feel connected to the story whatsoever, and honestly could not give a shit about finding out the 'ending' if there even is one. I found it highly confusing and pointless as fuck. The characters were thoroughly boring, and to be honest I really just struggled to care about the story.
Now I've never been a Batman fan, but playing Arkham City has made me one. Gameplay is fucking awesome and it doesn't skimp on storytelling one bit. It brought to life the world of Batman like nothing else I've seen, even the recent Batman films aren't as good at putting you into that world.
