i'm trying not to include re-releases and ports but intercourse pretty much nothing but HD COLLECTIONS, ____ HD, and ____ 3D came out this year
1. Rock Band Blitz
2. Persona 4: Golden (i played persona 4 on ps2 intercourse off)
3. Crashmo
4. Xenoblade Chronicles (didn't finish it though)
5. Nintendoland I guess
this year was so lame for gaming
i wanted to play XCom, Hotline Miami, Skullgirls, Fez (except bleh phil fish), and Far Cry 3 but didn't get around to it
i liked Persona 4 Arena but didn't really get far in it
i played big games like Halo 4, Cod:BO2, and Borderlands 2 but thought they were meh at best and pretty poorly done for such big games (well, halo was alright but i'm pretty burnt out on halo at this point)
i spent most of the year playing old games i had never played like Earthbound which was pretty rad
i also revisited Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask which are both fantastic as well as Cave Story which is always fun
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Pokemon B2W2
Haters gonna hate.
I haven't played several of the big games this year (like Xenoblade), so I can't think of too much to choose from, but I suppose out of what I did play...
Kid Icarus: Uprising. Insanely unappreciated, mind-blowing in scope, hilarious, thoroughly original, epic, tons of fun. It's the only game I've played this year to completely blow me away. It's a shame so many popular game sites are completely ignoring it on their GOTY lists; everyone completely forgot about it.
Fuck you there's HD Collection of Ratchet and Clank. That's better than anything else.
But I am also rather impressed with idk. I like Lego LotR.

i remember it i just remember how terrible the controls were and how poor a job nintendo did catering to left handed people on the release of the game because they wanted to stick to their bullpoop one analog stick scheme
Journey
Tales of Graces F
uhhh
yeah you're right i've mostly played HD collections and re-releases this year. 100%'d Ratchet and Clank 1-3 HD and am working on the Jak HD collection
Dishonored.
I actually haven't played many new games this year though.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is a masterpiece among my collection.

It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Too many people didn't give it a chance because left-handed people couldn't stop whining about the controls. Honestly I don't see how it could be so difficult compared to basically every other game on the market for left-handed people.
But whatever. It had amazing story, amazing characters, great plot twists, great voice-acting, and all that. I don't get why it just passes under the radar of a bunch of big gaming sites.

ground controls were poop and unforgivable no matter what preference
also there is only a analog stick on one side
it was fine on the ds because there wasn't a big difference between the dpad and buttons
this was the first 3ds title to do this because they stuck to a poopty control scheme
everything else was really well done though it's a shame they had to ruin it but not allowing complete customization of allt he controls WHAT A BUMMER
They really should have made Uprising a Wii or Wii U game. Heck, they could have delayed it a month or two so it could have used that Circle Pad Pro thing and it would have been perfect.
Borderlands 2 was one of the better games this year, but it tried to hard with its "OLOL SEX" jokes for it to be a great game. 8/10
Halo 4 had decent value, but its shallowness in multiplayer and overall suckage of Spartan Ops made me honestly wonder if it was better than Halo Reach. 7/10
Mass Effect 3 was a good ending to the trilogy. I didn't particularly enjoy the multiplayer, but the story was nice and the endings were eventually somewhat fixed. 8/10
I loved FarCry 3 when it came out on PC and later got it on 360, and it is a really good game for the first 70% of it. That being said, the last 30% of it COMPLETELY wrecked the entire story for me and made the entire game unplayable. I recommend renting this game before buying. 8.5/10 and 3.5/10
Assassin's Creed 3/Dishonored: I don't play stealth games.
Journey/The Walking Dead: Haven't played much of either.
XCom/NFS Most Wanted/Torchlight II: Same for these too.
3DS Games/Wii U Games/[INSERT NOT MENTIONED GAME HERE]: Haven't played.

So you've played the game? Honestly I didn't really have too much of a problem with it. I guess the ground controls could have been better until you take aiming into account, which would have been next to impossible to do otherwise on such a system. I'm honestly not sure how else they could have done it.
It probably would have functioned better on the Wii, but since I'm the kind of guy who plays handheld games way more than console games (I can't always be in front of my TV, but I can take my 3DS almost everywhere) I honestly don't mind. I'm happy to have Kid Icarus as a 3DS game because, well, there aren't a whole lot of other 3DS titles out yet and I've gotten so much play time out of it when I've been on the go. I guess the excellence of the game is enough to overlook the controls--which weren't great but at the same time not exactly horrendous--in my opinion.

yes i played it
i just don't understnad why they didn't make it control like you know, literally every other shooter on the market.
that's a format that works, when you get on the harder difficulties, the touch controls are poop and do not work
i didn't want to play through the game with the difficulty meter on 0, that's stupid
i got up to about mission 15 and stopped playing due to how frustrating the controls were, i never got used to them, i couldn't use the stand because i need cpp to play, and it just wasn't fun to play because of how terrible the controls are

Then tell me how you'd like the controls, because honestly I think the 3DS is just limited in that regard, because I can't see any better way they could have done it. And it seems like you can, so I'd like to hear it.
Don't blame the controls if you can't play on higher difficulties. I can do it just fine. I didn't use the stand either (It's still a cute little thing, I just didn't use it once for Uprising) and it was still fun as hell. You definitely missed the majority of the plot though by quitting 60% of the way through the game. A lot of crazy poop happens after chapter 15 or 16.
Can you really not fit the CPP on the stand? It seems like you'd just set it there and it would hold; I mean, the thing's leaning back as it is.
Genuine question, not rhetorical; I still don't have a CPP, since I was able to play Kingdom Hearts just fine without it (it occurred to me that KHII was the only one to use R-stick for camera, and I was therefore totally used to using the shoulder buttons).

did you even read my post? second line
i'm blaming the controls. I can play against bots in counterstrike: go (pc) on hard and do fine, yet lose to them in the same game on easy in the 360 version. controls are a factor, deal with it

thing is gigantic and not flat backed like the 3ds, it would not work at all on the stand, you should really see one. it like increases the size of the bottom half of the system by like 60%
it's a monster
don't know anything about KH on 3ds but that doesn't sound like a similar problem to the one in kid icarus at all
i don't even know why i'm talking about this
it's a poop control scheme that you guys were able to adapt to
however that still makes it a poop control scheme
if you need more proof of that please refer to the STAND THAT CAME WITH THE GAME
they wouldn't have needed a stand if the controls were fine

The bottom line is that controls that require heavy adaptation are bad by default. Ease of use is a factor when weighing just how good controls are for a game.
The game isn't a bad game, but that doesn't mean the controls are good.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm saying (even though I didn't need HEAVY adaptation and I think some of you are just whining a tad too much, but that's neither here nor there) yet no one seems to be listening to me. It was an absolutely stellar games when you talk about plot, characters, etc. It was so good to me that the poor controls (which couldn't be helped without moving to a new system altogether) can be overlooked.

Then it is simply a clash of ideologies. You feel you can overlook a game's shortcomings if it excels in other areas and others feel the opposite.
But seeing as a majority of people seem to have control issues, I'm going with that.
Seriously though, Lego Lord of the Rings is surprisingly fun. I mean, not THE game of the year. But darn fun.
But it isn't Xenoblade by a long shot.
