Biggest disappointment in 2012 was the crappy PS Store remake.

Biggest surprise is how the PS3 didn't overtake the 360 in sales with a price drop.

AC3 was so bad. It was buggy, it looked like a step back graphically from AC Revelations and the ending was much worse than anything ME3 could come up with. Also, the mission structure was pretty bad.

I agree. I ran into so many annoying bugs and that ending.... :x

Biggest disappointment - So many titles getting delayed to 2013. If they're all better because of it though, then it's all good

Biggest surprise - how good FF Theatrhythm actually is

Biggest disappointment: Dishonored. A game pegged to be the successor to the successor to Thief and Deus Ex, with talent like Harvey Smith on board too...the game is laughably inconsistent in every respect.

Biggest surprise: I started playing some indie games. Finished Braid and bought Mark of the Ninja which was pretty good. The quality of Black Mesa, some bugs notwithstanding, was excellent.

Biggest Disappointment: Me purchasing Halo 4. Here I was thinking I was above that sh1t. I never thought I could disappoint myself so much, but I really let myself down there.

Biggest Surprise: Mass Effect 3s ending being that bad. I kind of knew it would be silly and dumb. I was expecting some Deus Ex Machina sh1t. But they got that crap out of the way early. With the Crucible being a main plot point. So it was like okay....and then there was a lot of great character stuff. And then that god awful child ruined everything. Man that crap sucked.

jg4xchamp
Or you just don't get it. The final ending works. And the only Deus Ex Machina is how it subverts it and turns it on its head.

All AC3 is is buggy.....the graphics are better than Revelations, Connor's story is the best in the series, and the naval battles while unrealistic were great. And the ending is a cliffhanger, and the Vita game foreshadows a new female line to take over the series.

No, its disappointing as it doesn't keep up with the past success of the series, although the entire franchise is grossly overrated anyway.

Dissapointment would be Diablo 3. Though to be fair Torchlight 2 wasn't exactly amazing either. I don't think I like the genre that much actually.

Biggest surprise? Black Ops II has turned out to be pretty interesting

I would not say Torchlight 2 is better, it's just that is has way less hype behind it. Like waaaaay less. But honestly the Diablo 3 was more fun, even if it was a huge dissapointment and I didn't really like it.

Surprise

  • Silent Hill Downpour

Disappointment

  • None. I don't play bad games.

Master_ShakeXXX

About Downpour, I agree on that. It was actually a good game.

I'll third this. Classic Silent Hill through and through.

i hop on this train too game def did not deserve the trashing it got apon release. I mean its not the greatest SH game ever but it did a good job of trying to recapture the feel of the original games and had a decent enough story. Only thing i didn't like were the actual monster designs pretty bland and non scary overall but that's only a small part of the SH exp.

Biggest Surprise:

  • 3+ mil. people bought RE6 on consoles.

Why did you expect GTAV this year? Rockstar are known for releasing 1 game per year and Max Payne came out in late spring. A year previous LA Noire was released in late spring and a year before that Red Dead Redemption. Didn't you notice the pattern?

Biggest Disappointment: Well I'm still not over the fact that MS closed Ensemble studios ensuring we will never get another Age of Empires or Age of Mythology game.. but then when those guys then went to make games for phones/tablets.. I cried inside. Biggest Surprise: X-Com.. the game looked great and I had really high expectations, and when I starting playing I was blown away by just how awesome the game is. Sleeping Dogs looked great and falls into the same category. I had high hopes for it and it turned out to be outstanding too.

XCOM though may be better later than now.....it has ome huge flaws and lack the depth of the original trilogy.

If you didn't catch the tone of my post, I was joking. I wanted it out this year. Did I expect it? Not in the least.

I share this disappointment. Why'd you do it Alex? Why? Biggest Disappointment: Max Payne 3. When it comes down to the act of firing a weapon, MP3 is in a league of it's own. The gunplay is something else. Unfortunately, the frequent unskippable cutscenes make this game a chore to replay. There's also the writing, which doesn't really make any effort to be similar to Sam Lake's so that Max Payne feel just isn't there. It's not a bad game at all though. Biggest Surprise: Nothing really surprised me this year.

Does this guy have an alarm that goes off whenever somebody (rightfully) trashes ME3's ending????
