Games of the GENERATION

[Cure]

Grand Theft Auto V pretty much marks the end of this console generation. Sure, you have some joints coming out here and there, like South Park and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, but this is pretty much it. So let's rap, gang; what are your favorite games of this generation?

There were some great franchises that started in the last few years. Gears, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Call of Duty didn't but it sure blew up recently. You have the Galaxy joints, Dead Space, Saint's Row, and a whole bunch of others that escape me at the moment.

Not just games, but there were some major innovations this generation, too. Downloadable titles and content, party chat, indie games blew up, and much more.

So dawgs, I'll ask again. What are your favorite games of this generation?

Cawadooty African-American Ops II!

I didn't know people were still on the Call of Duty joke kick.

[MrTMNT2012]

Definitely The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. IMO it's the only game that fully utilised the hardwares potential - same way GTA V did with the 360 and PS3!

I didn't know people still took forums seriously. You know, sometimes I like to pretend to get offended on the internet for fun! It's a white privilege. I guess I need to check it every now and then...oh wait, are we trying to start an internet fight? I'm sorry. Let me try and do this, it's been a while. You gay! Was that good enough? Let me know what you think.

And that's what we call: An overreaction.

So did you win? Put that sh*t up on the fridge, baby.

But to keep this on-topic (whatever that even means anymore) I'm all about Viva Pinata.

[PApagreg]

MK9, Red Dead, Far Cry 3, deus ex human revolution, bioshock,mass effect Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Fallout, No more Heroes, Batman, and GTA 5

Oh Valkrie Chronicles

[AT-Man]

Borderlands 2 probably takes the first place, at least it's my most played one. Demon's/Dark Souls are just perfect for my taste. I've only played Arkham City for few hours but that and Asylum are in my top list. Every God of War game for Sony's consoles also, this and previous generations. Well, this is almost like the top 5 list but not counting older games.

[NinjaMan]

Arkham series
Lego batman 2
Lego marvel superheroes
Call of duty
Marvel ultimate alliance 2

[ObiWanFan4life]

1. Uncharted Trilogy
2. Mortal Kombat (2011)

5. Goldeneye 007: Reloaded
6. The Last of Us

You are now officially in my top 5 favorite users list.

[Leo656]

I'm one of those people who's about 5 years or so behind what's currently being played, so I haven't experienced as many of the best games that came out in this generation as many others have. But I've played a few more "modern" games that I really liked. These are just personal favorites, not a statement declaring them better than this, that, or the other.

They won't be on anyone's "Best Of" anything list, but I've probably spent more hours playing the WWE games on 360 than anything else. They pretty much got a little better every year.

I just started playing GTA IV (yeah, IV, not V, shut up) and so far it's pretty good. The last one I played at length was Vice City, which I really enjoyed, but a lot of stuff in IV is greatly improved.

Heavy Rain was very controversial, but I thought it was fun and different. I wouldn't exactly want to play a hundred games like it, but at the time I played it it was just what I was looking for.

Batman: Arkham Asylum would probably be the most obvious choice. I haven't played Arkham City yet, but I'm sure it's just as good.

Sonic Generations was a lot better than I expected it to be; I literally haven't had thumb cramps like that since like the early-90s. I had a lot of fun with that one.

All the Fight Night games were great, and I generally give less than a sh*t about boxing.

Fighting games are something else I don't mess with much, but Mortal Kombat and Injustice: Gods Among us are among the best I've ever played.

Ghostbusters really surprised me. For a licensed game based on an ancient franchise that's been on life support for over 20 years, that game was lots of fun and hit all the right nostalgic notes as well. It needed a playable Ecto-1 level, but you can't have everything.

I got heavy into DC Universe Online for a couple weeks. I lost entire 12-hour blocks of my life and remembered why I generally don't play MMOs. My impulse control is poor and I will always sacrifice sleep for games, which negatively affects my work output. But it was a blast, all the bugs aside.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was even better than I expected it to be. I'd have played it tons more than I did, but this generation more than any other, I've been buying and playing tons of random games simply because I have more money to spend on them. I'm usually juggling a couple Wii, 360, and even Gamecube games from my "To Play" pile, so sometimes when I finish a really good game like this one, I shelve it and move on to another one, when back in the day I'd just play it until I knew it all by heart. I miss being a kid and having all that free time.

Finally, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm a huge Zelda mark anyways, but it was the reason I bought a Wii. I know it's not much different from the GC version, but I bought and played it only for Wii so I'm counting it.

Some games I haven't played extensively or at all yet but am sure I will enjoy immensely are Skyward Sword, the Mario Galaxy games, Arkham City, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V, The Mass Effect series, and Xenosaga. Feel free to ask me how I felt about 'em in 2018, I'm sure I'll have played at least two of them by then.

You'll enjoy Arkham city a lot.

[Redeemer]

Read my title that is all that needs to be said.....
I can safely say that I loved the series and I was damn good at it.

[Butuking]

Zelda skyward sword would be my pick. Like what a previous poster said, it really used the full potential of the Wii, and was really the final send off to the console.

Hahaha! Incredible!

Also, Leo...did you not say in the OOTS thread you play more games than almost anyone? You're...kind of saying the exact opposite now.
