FluffyAssassin64 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 As we near the end of this console generation, we (as gamers) can look back on a fantastic 6/7 years of gaming this past-gen. From multi-platform greats like Bioshock, RDR, Skyrim (for some), the Arkham Series, etc. to PS exclusives like Uncharted, Infamous, Heavy Rain and TLOU (just to name a few), the Microsoft powerhouse of Halo and the fantastic Super Mario Galaxy series, this has been a great time to be a gamer. My question is; what is your favourite/favorite (I'm an Aussie, favourite is spelt properly where I come from) game from this past gen? Obviously not restricted to the ones I've listed above; they're just some major ones that readily come to mind. I'd have to go with Bioshock as my stand-out; the atmosphere, story-telling and combat really did it for me. The Last of Us also stands out as the pinnacle of story-telling to me. But then there's so many others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronostheSniper Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 My absolute favourite game from this past gen is without question Super Mario Galaxy. Game that introduced me to this gen aside, I personally think the level design is the best in any Mario game as one of the reasons I love it. As for PS3 exclusives, LittleBigPlanet 2, no doubt (I still shiver at the creativity that the game offers) and as for multiplatforms, Saints Row 2 is my absolute favourite, because even now, it's just so much fun. Of course, there are plenty of others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand dan Glokta Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That is a really tough question to answer given how many times I was blown away by games that came out this gen But I would have to give my favorite game of this gen award to Metal Gear Solid 4 honorable mentions: TLOU, RDR, Bioshock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrasticAutomatic Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The Last of Us, without a doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There are quite a few games this generation that I've just been taken aback by and as such I can't list only one. Gran Turismo 5 & 6 Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch The Last of Us Red Dead Redemption Uncharted Series Dragon's Crown Metal Gear Solid Series LittleBigPlanet Series Bioshock Series Okami HD Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete7978 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Mine will be GTA V. Yes I know the game is not out yet, but even so. Besides WWE 2K14, this will be the last title I purchase this gen in gaming. After those two titles, it's all about the PlayStation 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I don't think it's possible for me to name just one game... 1) Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance This game is my Goty of 2013 so far. It's one of the hypest games i've played this year. Its also got a incredible soundtrack. 2) Dark Souls. Without a doubt this is definitely one of my favourite games this gen. It's a shame that some people will miss out on this game because of the 'over hyped difficulty' 3) No More Heroes 2. Another awesome game from the crazy mind of Suda 51. I completed this game again today for the 10th time, it's one of the few games this gen that i've done that with. Honourable mentions Xenoblade chronicles Super Mario galaxy Halo 3 Metal Gear solid 4 The Witcher 2 Lost odyssey Edited September 22, 2013 by Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_MovieMan29 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Bioshock really set the standards back in 2007, then The Last of Us showed us how powerful this generation can really be. My personal favorite would be Portal 2, but the best game is definitely The Last of Us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirelli913 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Mass Effect 2 was, hands down, the single greatest gaming experience I ever had. I literally played it for six months straight, creating a dozen Commander Shepards to play as. I heard about it while watching a video on YouTube about another BioWare game, Jade Empire. I liked that game so I looked into ME2, saw there was a demo in the PS Store, played and loved the demo, so when there was a price drop, I bought it. An honorable mention goes to Transformers: War for Cybertron. It was the first game I ever played online and I met most of my online friends from it.

McJacs2 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Such a difficult question!! Batman Arkham: City was truly amazing, especially the voice acting done by Mark Hamill and writing by Paul Dini. But, Naughty Dog did produced quite the spectacular graphic presentation in a little game titled Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Gah!! So hard to choose!! I guess if both games were falling off a cliff, I'd dive with them because i cannot choose. They were both just so perfect. I guess Batman Arkham: City would beat it out by less than the thickness of a strand of hair. Such a difficult question!!

PREDRAG-K Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 BioShock: It had the best story of any game this gen in my opinion, followed by Infinite. Modnation Racers: This was just a fun racing game, with a very cool character creation system. Borderlands 2: My favorite fps game this gen. Little Big Planet 2: Took creativity to a whole new level. Batman: Arkham series: Set the standard for all superhero games. Dead Island: Showed what zombie games can be, looking forward to them in next gen. Those are probably my favorite games from this gen, can't think of any others right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manyuhesp Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If you send me to a forgotten island in the middle of nowhere and I can only take 1 game... that would be Skyrim for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxi Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'd say Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best game of this generation.

Dysgraph Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Even though I only got to play in the last beta phase, I'd have to say Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I haven't played the original XIV but I have heard how bad it was; also, I didn't have any money to afford it. Second would definitely be Borderlands 2. I don't know why, but I love it. I just do.
