2012 was a horrid year for gaming and I think this year easily trumps that one. I remember Journey 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, 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.

Totally agree. I don't remember a single memorable game releasing that year.
Maybe Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Still a pretty horrible year.


The first Forza Horizon was pretty good.  Dead or Alive 5 was decent.  RE6 was a big letdown.  Still have Assasins Creed 3 and Need For Speed Most Wanted in my backlog.  Probably only going to try AC3 for a bit to see how bad it really is.  I'm pretty sure I will like Tales of Xilla 2 once I have it but that was only 2012 in Japan.
