Everybodies lists have gone up over at plus10damage, and we're left with the results. We tallied it up, did some maths, and this is what happened. This is what the site thinks is awesome. They're all wrong and stupid, but hey. Some (tasteless) people (foolishly) like The Last of Us.
The Last of Us was awesome. Nuff said.
... Not going to argue. I disliked the gameplay so much I stopped playing. But whatever.
Brothers was my favorite from last year. Nice to see it mentioned there.
It's my favourite of last year too! Here's my list: http://plus10damage.com/blog/2014/1/1/blakes-top-10-of-2013
Well other than GTA 5 and Monaco: What's yours is mine I have or want to play every other game on the list.
GTA because never play those games for any reason on moral and ethical grounds and Monaco because Matt said the word multiplayer and I don't play multiplayer games unless there is a single player component that's worth my time.
So 8 out of 10 ain't bad. :)
You don't play gta for ethical reasons? Wtf?
Monaco has a singleplayer mode. It's alright.
I could actually see that. As someone who's planning to go to police academy when I get out of summer, that mission where you have to shoot over fifty cops really bothered me and brought the game down.
No, it's not that they aren't troubling, it's just the person it's coming to that made it seem weird.
Yep, I don't play games that portray criminal activity and murder as something that is fun. I wouldn't do that in real life and I won't do it in a game.
Ok... but you play games where you shoot someone in real life - which is not something you'd do in real life. Do you really think I'd go on a crime spree in real life? No. It seems like all of these moral crusaders against video games have gotten to ya :p
Nope, I've always been that way. A. I don't play military shooters or any game that has humans killing other humans for no other reason than that's what they are supposed to do to "win". B. If given the choice between good and evil in a fantasy game I always tend towards good and I never attack anything that doesn't present a threat to me.
Obviously I don't think you go on crime sprees IRL and I'm not saying that you playing a GTA game makes you a bad person. I'm just saying that's not me mmmkay?
Fair enough I guess. Wow, that's a pretty strong moral code you've got there.
Every time I see PlusTen, I want to say 3 magic, 3 Magic!
...I don't understand the reference. Please don't shoot me!
Old Pen and paper RPG joke.
Yet another list I've played nothing off of lol. I imagine it will be even worse next year. I'll probably get Brothers eventually though. That game looks like it would be fun.
Go play the games on my list. Also play Bioshock Infinite. While I don't at all like the shooting mechanics, it is a wonderful experience. Just don't play it on hard or the enemies are bullet spongey as hell.
Really want to play LoU. A used copy is still too expensive, though. Will check it out once it reaches $20.
I personally didn't like it, but everyone else at the site did, so maybe you will?
I downloaded Brothers on your recommendation and I have to say that It was a good call Blake, not like those other suggestions I reciveved this week which mainly involved placing objects in painful places. I also love that A Link between Worlds has been added on to the list, I'd go as far to say that it's even better than the original..... almost.
Let me know when you finished it! I want to know how you feel then!
I'm one of the few who haven't played Last of Us, but it looks like a solid list. Brothers is still on my 360, and at some point I'm going to give it a try
Tomb Raider is 5th. It's a horrible list :p.
Very interesting list. And I also decided to see the individual lists of everyone, and holy damm are the lists very varied.
I guess the only thing I disagreed was with Travis's statement of the Wii damanging the credibility of Nintendo, but that's another topic and it even doesn't have to do with the list :P
I disagree with everything Travis ever says purely out of principle :p
