SA writes: We played A LOT of games in 2012 and have a lot to say about them. As the year wraps up we wanted to point out some of the ScrewAttack crew's favorites. Keep in mind that not every member of the crew helped put together this compilation of games so there will be some games that you'd expect to be included that aren't. It's not that we don't love those games, it's just that our experts that really got their hands dirty with them were not at the HQ to give their input. Got it? Good.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Yeah ME3 and AC3 is not in there and they are easily the top 2 games of 2012
Gravity Rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
Black Mesa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
I still can't believe how much love FC3 is getting. I just finished the game on PC, and it was a fun game at times, but nowhere near goty material. So many performance issues, bugs, and just overall terrible design decisions. It just felt like a game with insane potential that was rushed out partially finished. Not sure how it got so many perfect scores across the board.....
I've really enjoyed Hitman: Absolution, but based on reviews for the game, you either love it or hate it. I'm playing Far Cry 3 and Tokyo Jungle now and those are both great games.
