2012 was a horrid year for gaming and I think this year easily trumps that one. I remember Journey, Xenoblade, and Dishonored literally being the only memorable new games I played that year. I already have played more memorable games this year (Dark Souls 2, Bravely Default, Mario Kart 8, South Park, Forza Horizons 2, Smash Bros 3DS) and there's still some great looking games coming like Sunset Overdrive, Dragon Age Inquisition, Bayo 2, Halo MCC, Smash Wii U, and Captain Toad. Overall I'd say its a pretty average year in gaming. Neither bad like 2012, nor amazing like 2011.
It's mainly bad in terms of X1/PS4 exclusives, Sony in particular has stunk it up this year despite their continued success with PS4. But that's the devs fault for being so stubborn about cutting last gen life support. The last gen support has never been this strong this long into a new gen in the past, and the new gen first year games have never been this underwhelming as a whole. Coincidence? Doubt it.
