Most Anticipated Games of 2012

**Shredder** · 12-30-2011, 01:00 AM

Since I already made a thread like this for movies, how about for games? What are you most looking forward to in 2012? Here's a few of mine to start things off:

-Street Fighter X Tekken
-One Piece: Kaizoku Musou (Import)
-Tekken Tag Tournament 2
-Twisted Metal (apparently a new one is coming out for PS3 and it's an old favorite series of mine)

*oldmanwinters* · 12-30-2011, 01:06 AM

I'm gonna say the first-party launch titles for the Nintendo Wii U.

SoulCalibur V
Battle High 2
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations

Also looking forward to possibly getting a Vita sometime, maybe near the year's end.

Diablo 3
Starcraft 2 Expansion
Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy Verses XIII
The Last Guardian (hopefully it will come out)
Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle
Mario Tennis 3Ds
Animal Crossing 3DS
Luigis Mansion 3DS

I am sure there are more 3DS games coming i will want, plus the Vita but i already imported it and the uncharted game, also REALLY looking forward to Wii-U, Wii gets a lot of slack but i love it.

~~AquaParade~~ · 01-01-2012, 12:13 AM

As of now...

Bioshock Infinite

Halo 4

Ninja Gaiden 3

*Redeemer* · 01-01-2012, 10:35 AM

No point the world is going to end

Well the game im looking most forward to is
Gears of War !!!!!!!!!!Oh wait there isnt one this year

Not really too thrilled for any game this years, except maybe Halo 4 (Master-chief is jst Bad ass) and Assassins creed

*Storm Eagle* · 01-01-2012, 07:41 PM

I may give Kid Icarus: Uprising a try.

*Ecto Jedi* · 01-01-2012, 09:05 PM

Jesus, are they still releasing Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II? What has it been -- like, a year and a half? Way to drop the ball Sega.

The "world is ending" joke was played out before 2011 even started. Time to let it go. It's like the Chuck Norris of f*cking religious bullsh*t.

Still thinking on this one. Right now I can't really say a ton, but Last Guardian is absolutely number one...if it gets finished. ME3 should probably be up there, too, but BioWare has done a great job of annoying me on their last two sequels, so I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt this time.

*Samhain* · 01-03-2012, 07:59 PM

Speaking of the world ending, I'm also very much looking forward to Darksiders 2. I loved the first one. Hopefully we can see some gameplay soon.

If it's not on the Wii it's because it's going to be on the WiiU. Just wait and see.

Last two? What was the other one beside DA2?

Peanut · 01-05-2012, 02:03 PM

ME2. Thye ditched all the RPG elements in order to turn it into a below-average TPS with force powers.

Everything about ME2 is exemplary...except the combat. And sadly, everything they've showed with ME3 makes it look like even less of an RPG, which I thought was close to impossible. Turret sequences...disgusting.

It's actually my biggest problem with a lot of my favourite game franchises at this point. Even TES has taken several large steps away from incredibly deep RPG mechanics to make the game a lot easier for the CoD generation to understand.
