    Re: QOTW: What's the best computer game you've played this year?

    I didn't really feel this was much of a standout year for gaming at all. Maybe my memory is screwed.. but nothing is really jumping out here. Even with all it's problems, I have to say Bf4 on Pc as well. Once they got it to a fairly good state with the server tick rate update, it was a killer game. Gta 5 on Ps4 was a lot of fun too. But the crappy framerate and aiming hurt my impression of it. And now I think of it, actually, Ufc on Ps4 has been a very satisfying game to play. So, those 3 for me

    I'd second BF4 (It may be a 2013 release but it was ****e until the CTE was released and started to take effect.) and Insurgency on PC. Between them and CSGO I have more shooter than I can physically find time to play.

    This year - Arma 3

    Next year - Elite Dangerous * (especially once Oculus Rift CV1 is released)

    * I know Elite has already been released, but only just, and I won't have time to play it properly until 2015

    Damn, yeh. Insurgency is great! It's like CQC Arma, without vehicles. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a strictly infrantry only shooter anywhere near this much!

    I've not played a good game this year that I haven't played before. Yet to find something that really grips me, like Fallout 3 did.
    XBOX Live - Sheep Sardine | Origin - MrRockliffe | Steam - MrRockliffe |

    no huge games for me this year. although currently playing Destiny, its not that great a lot of repetitive game play which is one reason i hate RPG games.

    Re: QOTW: What's the best computer game you've played this year?

    Unreal Tournament (the original)

    It's old, but putting this on a university lab for an evening's LANfest - it's still such a fantastic MP game.

    For newer games - I've played BioShock Infinite, Far Cry 3, Just Cause 2 (as I've only just got a new PC powerful enough to actually play those games just last month) so I've not tried the latest and newest, just catching up! Just Cause 2 is great fun as is Far Cry 3 and BioShock Infinite look amazing in its full glory (Got a GTX970 so everything to max).

    I intend to purchase Elite next and after that once I've completed what I have (I have quite a long list of games to play and catch up on! When Far Cry 3 is done, next on list is Witcher 2 for example!)

    You're not seriously comparing Destiny to a (computer) role playing game, are you?

    Anyway, after having been away from CS for a couple of years, for some reason I tried out CS:GO earlier this year and somehow got hooked. Not much else I've had time to play when work takes up such a huge chunk of my day. Now that I'm on my Christmas break, perhaps I'll get time to start on either Bioshock Infinite or Borderlands 2 ...or even Alien: Isolation. Been looking forward to playing these in particular.

    1st. Wolfenstein (PS4). Which as others have said was a bit of a surprise package. Bought for the nostalgia, ended up enjoying it on a way broader level than that.

    2nd. Shadow of Mordor (XOne). Only just getting into it, but boy, is it good!

    3rd. South Park: The Stick of Truth (X360). Had me sniggering like a 10-year old all the way through

    was it one of the usual big-budget suspects - Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed Unity,
    No, no it wasn't. That they're even being mentioned is a travesty.

    I'd have to say Elite, or possibly Wolfenstein, both of which seem to capture the essence of the originals perfectly.

    Re: QOTW: What's the best computer game you've played this year?

    Divinity: Original Sin

    Probably one of the best PC games in recent years, an absolute gem and perfect riposte to those saying games these days are too short/boring/unintelligent.

    (was also gamespots PC game of the year 2014: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/div.../1100-6423910/)

    I want to say Dragon Age:Inquisition but I can't because I'm forever fighting the control system.

    It wants to be a turn-based RPG (pause, issue instructions, un-pause) but it's been designed for use with a controller and that pretty much turns it into an action RPG.

    Give me back my mouse+keyboard controls and let me scroll out to a decent height so that I can see what all my characters are doing and am then able then to issue them instructions.

    For me it's This War of Mine. Graphics are nothing particularly special, but the link you get to the characters you're playing means that when you send one out to scavenge and they get killed is... gutting.
