My mind in blowing up right now 😁😁😂😂 SMITE commented on this. and no replies. Jared is built different for having the foresight to put smite on this list
Teigan Theisen Well, I'm not to fond of open world games which feel empty (to me at least). But with that comment I was simply saying that ES combat isn't very good, and I will stand by that opinion.
I agree that ES combat isn't the best, but I LOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE open worlds, because there is always a quest to do and something to explore. As far as combat, I prefer the combat of games like Assassins Creed.
ZeroneDY I'm pretty sure he said it as it's a similar style of game to Elder Scrolls but has better combat. They're both open world RPG games with a lot of customization but combat wise, Dragon's Dogma is WAY better yet Skyrim is more popular.
That "Now it's Reyn Time" thing is burned into my skull after playing that Xenoblade Chronicles for so long because I loved using Reyn as a party member
Hey Jared! Did you ever play Kid Icarus Uprising(3DS)? The controls take a few minutes to get used to, but holy crap this game is gold. If you haven't played it I HIGHLY recommend you do.
Actually your decisions do matter because at the end of the game their is a third option.but you have to get all the resources.also if you get a dlc you get a actual cutscene which is pretty cool
I swear the whole Journey part i had chills all over my body. That's how good the game is, that the simple mention of it makes tons of feelings wash over you as you remember the game.
My favorite 2012 game was Pokémon Black & White 2. Those two had _even more_ content than the originals, maybe even the most content in a Pokémon game _period._ Plus, the fact alone that GF made a third version that was not only two separate games, but also a sequel to the originals was fair game in _my_ books.
+MachoNachoes he's not doing one becuase a. he doesnt have time and b. he didnt play enough new games in 2015 to do a list. he said so on twitter. sory bruh
When people bitched about ME3, I think it was because they had Tuchanka's story arc in mind. That was probably the best writing in the series, where the decisions from ME and ME2 regarding the genophage, Wrex, and Mordin playing big roles, and the outcome could very well have been wildly different with each playthrough
It's your top ten and we viewers have to respect that, but we don't have to agree with you. These games should have been on this list IMO: *Far Cry 3* and *Borderlands 2*
***** I wrote IMO so no I didn't contradict myself at all. I respect his list, but IMO = in my opinion, some other games deserve to be featured in this top ten.
***** Again, it's HIS top ten, so saying " *other games deserve to be featured in this top ten* " contradicts it being *his* list. If you say "On *my* top ten list I would have such and such games on it" then that's fine but it's just asinine to say certain games "deserve" to be on a list of someone's *personal favorites.*
Tosh SkyWasher it doesn't make it any better to add "in my opinion" because basically all you are saying is "in my opinion, a list of *your favorites* should include the ones I say so." Do *you* understand?
Lemurakk The RUclipsr I trust most when it comes to videogames is SomeCallMeJohnny. He introduced me to Resident Evil 4, Final Famtasy 6, Metroid Zero Mission, Sonic Colors, and Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and I love all of these games.
A dragons dogma sequel? I must be dreaming, it's too amazing! But co-op play would be nice, and maybe making all 3 of your pawns, and underwater exploration. You have climbing massive animals, and I want to grip onto massive sharks! Arisen vs Shark; who will win?!?
My fav game was Don't Starve. It really put you on edge (Unlike Minecraft) And the game always had a way to push you to your limits. The game was preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty hard. Though minecraft was great 2 but it just didn't feel like a surviving game. It just felt like it was an easy target for Trollers to Troller you.
My No. 1 has to be Virtue's Last Reward. Sure, I only beat it today, and sure I probably wouldn't have liked it in 2012, and sure you need to play 999 for DS to fully understand the story, but the characters, plot twists, multiple endings, puzzles, and actual real world science brought into that game made it my winner. If only that ending wasn't such sequel bait for a game that's currently in development hell, I would be fine. Also, no Kid Icarus Uprising? For shame Jared. Just joking, I saw your review on Screwattack
I really wanna point out Jared's statement about Dishonored and how different it is for every player,after finishing the game 2 times,once in not killing anyone and a Ghost plus not killing one,in one of the later stages i found a specific place where you get a button prompt that changes how the whole stage plays (i dont mean as in multiple paths,but rather the whole enemy placement) for the rest of that specific stage,i wont spoil what you have to do cause its easily the most badass moment in the game,but its really,surprising how different it is everytime you play.
My favorite game of 2012 is Guild Wars 2. Though, I didn't play it back then, I only started playing it in late 2013, but I'll be honest here. This game is one of the most entertaining game I have ever played. Unlike World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft wasn't an awful game, but it was just rather boring, unlike Guilds Wars 2.
I still play guild wars 2, but after a while gw2 gets VEEEERRY Boring and super competitive. I only play it because I was a huge fan of the old game, but I know people that played gw1 for like 6 years that played gw2 up to 80 and then quit because the game didn't have much to offer, and nor does it. That said, I agree that legend of grimrock was my favorite game of 2012 too.
falcon8752 naaah i liked the first one too but the controls and the weapons improved too good in borderlands 2 so i must stick with borderlands 2 instead of one and i think both are funny or made fun but it are the details which make the difference
sadbadmac Well, "not a tenth as good as the original" is definitely incorrect. It's just as good, actually. But in my opinion, Borderlands 1 has better playable characters, world design, action skills and weapons. Yes, Borderlands 2's weapons are improved, but most of them feel like toys now. Besides, I used to play almost exclusively with S&S weapons, and... Bandit guns just aren't the same thing. But I'll admit the skill trees are definitely better in Borderlands 2. It's also a funnier game overall and the NPCs have improved, as well as the quests. Sadly, I believe you must play BL2 with friends or at least in random multiplayer lobbies to get the most of it, while the first one was perfectly fine in singleplayer.
It's cool you added smite on there, I ran into you in an assault match earlier today and that's how I found you channel. Glad I did, your videos are pretty cool :D
I think I want Dragon's Dogma now, but I have to pick either Dragon's Dogma, or possibly GTA V(they said GTA V is going to be ported on Xbox One, PS4 and PC).
Dragons Dogma has references to Berserk (best manga series out) so just makes it that tiny bit cooler for allowing you to play as a copy of Guts plowing through monsters
kyestar88 I like how you obviously haven't played Black Ops 2. I play many-a FPS games. Black Ops 2 single play is really good and very underrated (because everyone just plays the Multi Player, like how you just said every game is DLC, pointing out you don't know what you are talking about).
zombieowner66666 Not trying to bash anyone's opinion. I agree with the Single Player campaign, but that's because I never played/experienced it myself. Multiplayer, on the other hand, is the ONLY reason people buy CoD for, and suprise, suprise, it NEARLY DOESN'T CHANGE. Not to mention the huge amount of little kids in it, which makes me wonder, WHY THE F**K IS THERE A "Mature/17+(18 in my country)" IN THE COVER?! And the DLCs are... not worth it... But it's MY opinion, so it's not really THAT important. As for multiplayer, I'd rather play a more balanced game, which I think there is one in the PS3 that is free, not sure about Xbox and PC. Not even sure if it's on PS4 or the One. .....I kind of feel dumb replying to this, because the comment is 3 months old... f**k.....
Far cry was a great game are you kidding me? Great voice acting, great story, and even better gameplay! Literally would probably be my pick for best game of the year of 2012 and to say it horrible? You must be blind!
Dishonored is my favorite game of all time. It has been years and I still play the game constantly. I love literally every single thing about it and have so much fun
Hey Jared, couple of things, first, if Dragon's Dogma did have quite a few problems, how did it get up so high? I know you had a lot of fun with it (I enjoyed the demo quite a bit), but if it had as many bugs and grievances as you said, wouldn't that have dropped it a little? Also, since you liked Grimrock, have you tried to Etrian Odyssey games? It isn't the exact same thing, as combat takes places in turn based environment, but enemies can join in if they run into your battle. It wasn't 2012
YES! Journey is my all time favorite game! Anytime I see someone giving praise to this game makes me so happy! And Journey deserves it! Awesome!!! Thanks Jared! :)
Awesomenauts was a great game that me and my friends play at least weekly. It gets constant updates and Romino works with fans to make the game better.
Didnt expect Dragon´s Dogma on the list. But i´m glad it made it, cause i absolutely love Dragon´s Dogma. I think it´s one of the best titles i´ve ever played - even with all its problems.
i guess it also depends on what type of game you're playing, if it's an arcade style game where the gameplay is the main focus, a lackluster or nonexistant story, that works entirely, but today most games try to merge great gameplay and storytelling, and when one of those fields is lacking, you can really feel it, and it's unsettling
My Top 5 Favorite games of 2012 since there are some comments like this. 5) Dishonored (Xbox 360/PS3/PC) 4) CoD: Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360/PC/PS3) 3) Resident Evil 6 (Xbox 360/PS3) 2) Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 (Nintendo DS) 1) The Walking Dead (Xbox 360/PS3/PS Vita/PC/iOS)
Jared, it's because of you that I bought Legend Of Grimrock during this year's Steam Summer Sale. I love it. I really hope they have some sort of multiplayer in Legend Of Grimrock 3.
Wow, I'm late to the party but I'm impressed with your take in Grimrock! I developed the unofficial "Master Quest" version of the game, and along with that mod I would highly recommend "Mine of Malan Vael". Most of the rest are not quite up to par, but a newly release "The Sunset Gate" is pretty impressive as well. I'm sure you're very busy, but if you truly loved Grimrock as much as you say you did, you might find these two or three top mods for it worthwhile. (on Steam or Nexus)
My favourite game of 2012 was almost certainly Max Payne 3. The shooting mechanics and bullet physics are some of the best I've ever seen; the writing, story and voice acting are incredible; but what really got me was the cinematic quality. The jaw-dropping setpieces, art direction and the visual style along with the gorgeous attention to detail made the game incredibly memorable, and if you haven't played it I would certainly recommend you pick it up.
Thank you, Jared, for pointing out legend of grimrock. I had no idea about this game, and it is fantastic. I tried Etrian Odyssey, but couldn't get into it for some reason. Of course the best dungeon crawler, at least for me, will always be eye of the beholder for DOS
I bought Dragon's Dogma after watching this video and I am really impressed with it. I consider it on my list of my favorite games of all time. It's just so much fun.
love journey... it has so much power in a game with no dialogue. In a way it reminds me of brothers a tale of two sons, in which dialogue is limited, but story and background are amazing.
im so glad you appreciate dragon's dogma too, what i hope for in the future is a 2nd game that fixes the issues the first one has (like not being on pc) and even more classes and abilities, because as great as the classes are i had all of them mastered before i was even halfway through the game
Kid Icarus: Uprising. :D There are lovable characters with memorable lines and moments, interesting plot twists, and a few of the chapters have replayability to them, as there are choices/randomly selected events that could or could not happen. Actually, scratch that; over half the chapters have replayability to them because of all the secrets to them. The Zodiac Chambers make you feel proud of uncover whatever hidden shroud it was under each time you uncover one, and the Intensity Gates--most of them anyway, besides the Level 4 Intensity Gates--make you say "Man, I really have to pump up the difficulty if I want to see what's behind that door…" There are also various ways to approach each level, as you have so many weapon choices. There's also the fact that it throws 360 different achievements at you that range from Easy-Peasey-Walk-In-The-Park to Oh-My-Dear-Lady-Palutena-Why-The-Underworld-Are-You-Doing-This-To-Me-Sakurai. Aaaaaaand then there's the use of Greek and Roman myths. The titular character, the "Kid Icarus", named Pit, is basically 3 myths combined into one. He has some similarities with Eros/Cupid, the God of Love, as Pit is sometimes depicted as shooting arrows with hearts on the tips and has large, white wings. Pit also has (big surprise) a bit of Icarus in him, who flew too close to the Sun with his wax wings and fell into the ocean. Pit's wings "don't work right", and he needs the Goddess of Light, his friend and boss, to make him fly. He can also be seen as a bit of a parallel to Perseus, who slays Medusa with a polished shield, winged sandals, and Chrysaor sprang from her after she died, and his name can be translated as "bow of gold". Pit defeated Medusa with the Wings of Pegasus, the Mirror Shield, and the Arrows of Light. I was going to write more, but that's enough for today. :| If you took the time to read this, then thank you kindly! I also apologize for taking up your time. So now, I bid you adieu.
Of course of course, rail shooters are one of my favorite genres of games, but as i said before in a previous comment, i was mostly talking about big budget games of today, not counting arcade style games which focus mainly on the gameplay intentionally, while most large consumer marketed games try to juggle gameplay and story at the same time, often failing in one or the other. usually the story because good writing = more money spent
if someone is watching this top 10 and wants to see a full let's play of the game, i can recommend Chuggaaconroy. he has an entire playlist for the game and really knows his stuff about it. just letting you know.
I'm glad to see ME3 get some love. Even though the cheap endings left me annoyed up till then i really enjoyed the game and I'm glad to see someone feels the same way.
Numbered lists are always so interesting. Like, you have Mass Effect low in the list, but the way you describe it, it seems like you enjoyed it more than some of the games higher up on the list. A lot of people's lists are like that, its weird.
Nayru's Love Just because you have more to say about something doesn't mean you like it more than other things. I could talk for hours on Ocarina of Time, but I like A Link to the Past and Twilight Princess better.
Journey is one of my favorite games. Its beautiful, and it tells a story without ANY dialog at all. All you have is a nameless companion and a expansive world that you can enjoy and explore how you'd like. Mark of the Ninja is always a well designed game, but sadly I couldn't enjoy it as I'm not the best a stealth games. Klei did a great job though.
Spec Ops: The Line was amazing. Though it looks like another CoD clone, don't be fooled, it's one of the greatest narratives ever put into video games and certainly worth picking up now if you missed it when it came out two years ago.
Darksiders II is great, and I strongly urge you to pick it up. It's so fun and difficult, and it has a great leveling system. It took me 50 hours to beat it the first time. I've definitely been hoping to see a big reviewer like you talk about this strong open world game.
Dishonored is my all-time favorite game. I enjoy every mission (my fav being "The Flooded District" because it's also the one I find to be the hardest when doing a no-kill-no-upgrade-all-stealth-playthrough ^^) and the different characters (oh, sweet old Granny Rags and her birds :P).
Thanks for putting us on "the list", and thanks for playing SMITE!
My mind in blowing up right now 😁😁😂😂 SMITE commented on this. and no replies. Jared is built different for having the foresight to put smite on this list
You guys owe me 1,000 hours of my life back.
"The combat in Dragon's Dogma is better then any of the Elder Scrolls game's."
Elder Scrolls combat isn't difficult to beat.
Exactly what I was thinking.
ZeroneDY What's wrong with the Elder Scrolls?
Teigan Theisen
Well, I'm not to fond of open world games which feel empty (to me at least).
But with that comment I was simply saying that ES combat isn't very good, and I will stand by that opinion.
I agree that ES combat isn't the best, but I LOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE open worlds, because there is always a quest to do and something to explore. As far as combat, I prefer the combat of games like Assassins Creed.
ZeroneDY I'm pretty sure he said it as it's a similar style of game to Elder Scrolls but has better combat. They're both open world RPG games with a lot of customization but combat wise, Dragon's Dogma is WAY better yet Skyrim is more popular.
That "Now it's Reyn Time" thing is burned into my skull after playing that Xenoblade Chronicles for so long because I loved using Reyn as a party member
I loved Kid Icarus Uprising.
Like seriously.
It'd be in my top 10 games list.
It sould have been #3
My marathon of rewatching, liking, and commenting on every Jared video continues. Video 83
I m starting my
Marathon now 👍
combat...better than any of the elder scrolls games.... thats an extremely low bar.
"gameplay... Better than any of the elder scroll games... That's an extremely low bar"
Sergiu Pop ah well corrected good sir.
+MorroWolf I respect your opinion.
+Sergiu Pop Gameplay can be modded in, combat is hardcoded.
1st off: Yes I know the original ending was bad and *it ruined mass efect* and *MLEH MLEH MLEH*.
2nd. SHUDDUP.
Thanks, I have a hearing impairment and I couldn't hear that part, but thanks to you I could enjoy the joke in its entirety. You're a saint, friend.
:3 No problem dude.
R'Kdairos Zo'dhyac I hadn't realized it was ever a joke.
Neither did I xD
Owner thank you I complelty agree!
Hey Jared! Did you ever play Kid Icarus Uprising(3DS)? The controls take a few minutes to get used to, but holy crap this game is gold.
If you haven't played it I HIGHLY recommend you do.
Someone else on the internet who liked the game as much as I did? OH MY GOD.
***** Don't worry buddy, always checking.
i know 4 months late but hell kid icarus was a gem a really unexpected masterpiee!
Years late, but man that's one of my top games of all time, not just 2012
Martin Nuñez (I know this was 3 years ago but still) I loved Kid Icarus Uprising. Still do. Glad to see it has so many fans!
I think that Xenoblade should be higher on that list
Hope we get a Dishonored 2 someday.
*****
Woot!
+solofalcon You sir....are an oracle.
Oh tell us when will we get Metroid Prime 4?
Well we got prime 4
Is this the genie thread? So, how about that half-life 3?
@@spectralshadow9865 well we technically have it
"Now it's Reyn time!!" I never get tired of hearing that.
Oh my god, someone who actually realized that ME3 is an amazing game, despite the meh ending!
yea i can agree a game is great besides an ending but the ending is arguably the most important part of a game but i never played it so meh
The ending made me say " That was it!?!?"
They really fucked the ending don't blame the players blame the game.
The game was great, and one of my favorite RPGs. The ending was really bad, though.
Actually your decisions do matter because at the end of the game their is a third option.but you have to get all the resources.also if you get a dlc you get a actual cutscene which is pretty cool
Thank you. You are the only one who didn't put Black Ops 2 on the list. Finally someone who understands!
Hoping for FTL on this list, but your opinion, not mine.
I sadly didn't get to playing it until January, otherwise it would have DEFINITELY made the list!
***** oh my god, you replied a comment, not common, ver rare
***** What about Tales of the Abyss for the 3DS?
***** You have an awesome personality. It's better watching you than it is to watch Markiplier or *****. Keep it up man!
nerd3 put mass effect 3 on the worst games 2012
I swear the whole Journey part i had chills all over my body.
That's how good the game is, that the simple mention of it makes tons of feelings wash over you as you remember the game.
Dufuq is xenoblade chronicles only 10... And you put a MOBA over it? I like smite and all but...
***** Hey at least he acknowledged it :P
Most of America doesn't know it exists.
LKJ55 Until xenoblade x comes out... Lol
+Spark Yeah right, is one of the best games of all times, people should pay more attention to it.
Oh I'm sorry. Didn't know it was *your* top 10 list.
So THAT is where Shulk came from. Had no idea who the guy with the heavy accent was in Smash Brothers.
My favorite 2012 game was Pokémon Black & White 2. Those two had _even more_ content than the originals, maybe even the most content in a Pokémon game _period._ Plus, the fact alone that GF made a third version that was not only two separate games, but also a sequel to the originals was fair game in _my_ books.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING JOURNEY ON THIS LIST!!!!
When people bitched about ME3, I think it was because they had Tuchanka's story arc in mind. That was probably the best writing in the series, where the decisions from ME and ME2 regarding the genophage, Wrex, and Mordin playing big roles, and the outcome could very well have been wildly different with each playthrough
Certainly. If Wrex is dead, it's actually probably in your favor to sabotage the cure. With Wrex around, it's worth it.
Nemesis Lol
what about Borderlands 2? Anyone?
YES
Da Barking Pie I think it should have been #1 of 2012
When talking about BLTPS on e3 this year, Jared said he found BL2 too similar to the first game and didn't finish it.
I loved that game he probably just wasn't interested
vcom741 oh yeah forgot about that… Still I love Borderlands.
This video is the reason why I bought Dishonored, and now it's my favourite game and I replay it all the time, thanks Jared!
It's your top ten and we viewers have to respect that, but we don't have to agree with you. These games should have been on this list IMO:

Maybe the sequel was dark arisen.

Naw, that was a dlc... though it was as good as it was a sequel, It's just not
Well now it's getting one, lmao.
Dragon Dogma's combat being better than any of the Elder Scrolls games is not much of a feat, really.
Jared is the reason I looked into Legend of Grimrock. And I'm so glad that I did.

My No. 1 has to be Virtue's Last Reward. Sure, I only beat it today, and sure I probably wouldn't have liked it in 2012, and sure you need to play 999 for DS to fully understand the story, but the characters, plot twists, multiple endings, puzzles, and actual real world science brought into that game made it my winner. If only that ending wasn't such sequel bait for a game that's currently in development hell, I would be fine. Also, no Kid Icarus Uprising? For shame Jared. Just joking, I saw your review on Screwattack
I freaking love 999 and Virtues Last Reward, they are definitely my favorite visual novels of all time, and I'm still waiting for Zero Escape 3
I really wanna point out Jared's statement about Dishonored and how different it is for every player,after finishing the game 2 times,once in not killing anyone and a Ghost plus not killing one,in one of the later stages i found a specific place where you get a button prompt that changes how the whole stage plays (i dont mean as in multiple paths,but rather the whole enemy placement) for the rest of that specific stage,i wont spoil what you have to do cause its easily the most badass moment in the game,but its really,surprising how different it is everytime you play.

Still can't believe it was made in 24hrs.
Borderlands 2 one of the best games ever
*in your opinion
AGREE!!!
It's not a tenth as good as the original Borderlands. It's just not fun enough.
In my opinion.
falcon8752
naaah i liked the first one too but the controls and the weapons improved too good in borderlands 2 so i must stick with borderlands 2 instead of one and i think both are funny or made fun but it are the details which make the difference
sadbadmac Well, "not a tenth as good as the original" is definitely incorrect. It's just as good, actually.
But in my opinion, Borderlands 1 has better playable characters, world design, action skills and weapons. Yes, Borderlands 2's weapons are improved, but most of them feel like toys now. Besides, I used to play almost exclusively with S&S weapons, and... Bandit guns just aren't the same thing.
But I'll admit the skill trees are definitely better in Borderlands 2. It's also a funnier game overall and the NPCs have improved, as well as the quests. Sadly, I believe you must play BL2 with friends or at least in random multiplayer lobbies to get the most of it, while the first one was perfectly fine in singleplayer.
Xenoblade should have been either 1, 2, or 3!
Yes!
True legendary game
Ausaka didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed to have an opinion about a decade old video game
It's cool you added smite on there, I ran into you in an assault match earlier today and that's how I found you channel. Glad I did, your videos are pretty cool :D
You forgot Max Payne 3...... ;_;
And Far Cry 3.
And Borderlands 2
And Half-Life 3

George Neelath no, he didn't.
I'd totally buy Dragon's Dogma and love it, if Capcom would port it to PC.
I think I want Dragon's Dogma now, but I have to pick either Dragon's Dogma, or possibly GTA V(they said GTA V is going to be ported on Xbox One, PS4 and PC).
By GTA V, I mean't Dishonored.
Dragons Dogma has references to Berserk (best manga series out) so just makes it that tiny bit cooler for allowing you to play as a copy of Guts plowing through monsters
Woah woah woah... WHERE IS THE WALKING DEAD GAME???????
Not on this list ;)))
Where's AC3?
In oblivion where it belongs.
That series should've been taken out back long ago.
Everything past AC Revelations was terriable (except AC4 still have not gotten around to playing it yet)
Boedi Ray
as far as i can tell, AC4 is an awesome pirate game
At the bottom of my bin.
Okay I've seen almost all your videos now and your awesome.
Xenoblade Chronicles only number 10? On my list, it's number 0. As in so good, it's off the radar!
agrre it is my favorite game
Prince Kalian are you the same prince kalian from xb group
juju xenoblade yes
I thought that Black ops 2 was decent for COD title.
(Gasp) GO IN THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT U DONE
Well,COD Ghosts was decent (a bit more than decent like,decently good) but people shit on that game like it's the Antichrist
kyestar88 I like how you obviously haven't played Black Ops 2. I play many-a FPS games. Black Ops 2 single play is really good and very underrated (because everyone just plays the Multi Player, like how you just said every game is DLC, pointing out you don't know what you are talking about).
Jacob Cruz Ah ah...you're funny

Not trying to bash anyone's opinion. I agree with the Single Player campaign, but that's because I never played/experienced it myself. Multiplayer, on the other hand, is the ONLY reason people buy CoD for, and suprise, suprise, it NEARLY DOESN'T CHANGE. Not to mention the huge amount of little kids in it, which makes me wonder, WHY THE F**K IS THERE A "Mature/17+(18 in my country)" IN THE COVER?! And the DLCs are... not worth it...
But it's MY opinion, so it's not really THAT important. As for multiplayer, I'd rather play a more balanced game, which I think there is one in the PS3 that is free, not sure about Xbox and PC. Not even sure if it's on PS4 or the One.
.....I kind of feel dumb replying to this, because the comment is 3 months old... f**k.....
no love for borderlands 2
It's not the "Top ten games of 2012" if it doesn't have Far Cry 3 >:O.
But whatever it's your opinion after all.
He probably didn't play it
Far Cry 3 was laughably bad.
Far Cry was horrid bro xD
Far cry was a great game are you kidding me? Great voice acting, great story, and even better gameplay! Literally would probably be my pick for best game of the year of 2012 and to say it horrible? You must be blind!
TAKERfan121 Everyone has an opinion though and we now or later have to accept this.
Halo 4
Dishonored is my favorite game of all time. It has been years and I still play the game constantly. I love literally every single thing about it and have so much fun
would you like to explain to me where the FUCK the walking dead is?
I would like to know as well, not only was it amazing but it has amazing ending, (mass effect 3 was good too)
Far Cry 3 anybody?
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was released in 2012. If you liked Dragon's Dogma or Skyrim, you would love this one, too.
Borderlands 2 ftw >_>
MisterXpr099 3 years....
I like his list, but I wish Far Cry 3 had made it on here.
Hey Jared, couple of things, first, if Dragon's Dogma did have quite a few problems, how did it get up so high? I know you had a lot of fun with it (I enjoyed the demo quite a bit), but if it had as many bugs and grievances as you said, wouldn't that have dropped it a little? Also, since you liked Grimrock, have you tried to Etrian Odyssey games? It isn't the exact same thing, as combat takes places in turn based environment, but enemies can join in if they run into your battle. It wasn't 2012
Smite sucks,LoL is better than stupid smite
*****
Thanks
coming for a LOL fan and you Probably have'nt played it.
LoL came out in 2012? I thought it was older than that. WoW came out in 2004, and I thought LoL was a couple years later. Guess not :P
Wizgirl Nagato LoL sucks, Dota 2 is better than stupid LoL
Pall Plays
I have played lol and i still am
Oh god. Thank you Jared on what you said regarding ME3.
YES! Journey is my all time favorite game! Anytime I see someone giving praise to this game makes me so happy! And Journey deserves it! Awesome!!! Thanks Jared! :)
Awesomenauts was a great game that me and my friends play at least weekly. It gets constant updates and Romino works with fans to make the game better.
I liked the off-the-beaten path approach and the list being personalized instead of games that have been popularized. Thanks.
Didnt expect Dragon´s Dogma on the list. But i´m glad it made it, cause i absolutely love Dragon´s Dogma. I think it´s one of the best titles i´ve ever played - even with all its problems.
I can say I haven't heard of it (dragons dogma that is)
i guess it also depends on what type of game you're playing, if it's an arcade style game where the gameplay is the main focus, a lackluster or nonexistant story, that works entirely, but today most games try to merge great gameplay and storytelling, and when one of those fields is lacking, you can really feel it, and it's unsettling
I LOVE THIS VIDEO just for the fact that you are the only guy that talks about mark of the ninja!!!
My Top 5 Favorite games of 2012 since there are some comments like this.
5) Dishonored (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)
4) CoD: Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360/PC/PS3)
3) Resident Evil 6 (Xbox 360/PS3)
2) Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 (Nintendo DS)
1) The Walking Dead (Xbox 360/PS3/PS Vita/PC/iOS)
Jared, it's because of you that I bought Legend Of Grimrock during this year's Steam Summer Sale. I love it. I really hope they have some sort of multiplayer in Legend Of Grimrock 3.
MaskMan191 Buying it off the humble store right now.
You better have gotten a steam key, seeing as humble store doesnt really care for DRM.
MaskMan191 It was on the humble store's DRM free sale lol
Glad you included Mark of the Ninja in this list! I really enjoyed that game! :D
7:45 the only thing that came to mind was
'Do you know what dire consequences are? They're like consequences but dire
Wow, I'm late to the party but I'm impressed with your take in Grimrock! I developed the unofficial "Master Quest" version of the game, and along with that mod I would highly recommend "Mine of Malan Vael". Most of the rest are not quite up to par, but a newly release "The Sunset Gate" is pretty impressive as well. I'm sure you're very busy, but if you truly loved Grimrock as much as you say you did, you might find these two or three top mods for it worthwhile. (on Steam or Nexus)
ProJared: No.10 Xenoblade chronicles
Me: Saw that one coming...
My personal best game from 2012 without a question is FAR CRY 3! It's just one of the best single player open world shooters ever
I really like how you did the lesser known games, well like for me i only knew of smite. Thank you and i hope to check out some of these games soon
Jared, have you played Kid Icarus: Uprising? It's one of my favorite games of all time.
I'm glad he mentioned Tenchu, I love those games.
My favourite game of 2012 was almost certainly Max Payne 3. The shooting mechanics and bullet physics are some of the best I've ever seen; the writing, story and voice acting are incredible; but what really got me was the cinematic quality. The jaw-dropping setpieces, art direction and the visual style along with the gorgeous attention to detail made the game incredibly memorable, and if you haven't played it I would certainly recommend you pick it up.
Thank you, Jared, for pointing out legend of grimrock. I had no idea about this game, and it is fantastic.
I tried Etrian Odyssey, but couldn't get into it for some reason.
Of course the best dungeon crawler, at least for me, will always be eye of the beholder for DOS
I bought Dragon's Dogma after watching this video and I am really impressed with it. I consider it on my list of my favorite games of all time. It's just so much fun.
love journey... it has so much power in a game with no dialogue. In a way it reminds me of brothers a tale of two sons, in which dialogue is limited, but story and background are amazing.
im so glad you appreciate dragon's dogma too, what i hope for in the future is a 2nd game that fixes the issues the first one has (like not being on pc) and even more classes and abilities, because as great as the classes are i had all of them mastered before i was even halfway through the game
Kid Icarus: Uprising. :D
There are lovable characters with memorable lines and moments, interesting plot twists, and a few of the chapters have replayability to them, as there are choices/randomly selected events that could or could not happen. Actually, scratch that; over half the chapters have replayability to them because of all the secrets to them. The Zodiac Chambers make you feel proud of uncover whatever hidden shroud it was under each time you uncover one, and the Intensity Gates--most of them anyway, besides the Level 4 Intensity Gates--make you say "Man, I really have to pump up the difficulty if I want to see what's behind that door…" There are also various ways to approach each level, as you have so many weapon choices. There's also the fact that it throws 360 different achievements at you that range from Easy-Peasey-Walk-In-The-Park to Oh-My-Dear-Lady-Palutena-Why-The-Underworld-Are-You-Doing-This-To-Me-Sakurai.
Aaaaaaand then there's the use of Greek and Roman myths. The titular character, the "Kid Icarus", named Pit, is basically 3 myths combined into one. He has some similarities with Eros/Cupid, the God of Love, as Pit is sometimes depicted as shooting arrows with hearts on the tips and has large, white wings. Pit also has (big surprise) a bit of Icarus in him, who flew too close to the Sun with his wax wings and fell into the ocean. Pit's wings "don't work right", and he needs the Goddess of Light, his friend and boss, to make him fly. He can also be seen as a bit of a parallel to Perseus, who slays Medusa with a polished shield, winged sandals, and Chrysaor sprang from her after she died, and his name can be translated as "bow of gold". Pit defeated Medusa with the Wings of Pegasus, the Mirror Shield, and the Arrows of Light.
I was going to write more, but that's enough for today. :| If you took the time to read this, then thank you kindly! I also apologize for taking up your time. So now, I bid you adieu.
Of course of course, rail shooters are one of my favorite genres of games, but as i said before in a previous comment, i was mostly talking about big budget games of today, not counting arcade style games which focus mainly on the gameplay intentionally, while most large consumer marketed games try to juggle gameplay and story at the same time, often failing in one or the other. usually the story because good writing = more money spent
7:25 Really? i played this game for 40 hours on easy and i'm still having to revert or restart all together.
if someone is watching this top 10 and wants to see a full let's play of the game, i can recommend Chuggaaconroy. he has an entire playlist for the game and really knows his stuff about it. just letting you know.
Let's plays are awful
I'm glad to see ME3 get some love. Even though the cheap endings left me annoyed up till then i really enjoyed the game and I'm glad to see someone feels the same way.
Numbered lists are always so interesting. Like, you have Mass Effect low in the list, but the way you describe it, it seems like you enjoyed it more than some of the games higher up on the list. A lot of people's lists are like that, its weird.
Nayru's Love Just because you have more to say about something doesn't mean you like it more than other things. I could talk for hours on Ocarina of Time, but I like A Link to the Past and Twilight Princess better.
You absolute monster.
I'm kidding, I adore A Link to the Past
Journey is one of my favorite games. Its beautiful, and it tells a story without ANY dialog at all. All you have is a nameless companion and a expansive world that you can enjoy and explore how you'd like.
Mark of the Ninja is always a well designed game, but sadly I couldn't enjoy it as I'm not the best a stealth games. Klei did a great job though.
Spec Ops: The Line was amazing. Though it looks like another CoD clone, don't be fooled, it's one of the greatest narratives ever put into video games and certainly worth picking up now if you missed it when it came out two years ago.
The thing I like about Resident Evil nowadays is that they took out those awkward door animations from the original game every time you open the door
Fully agree with the other 9 points, amazing selection.
Darksiders II is great, and I strongly urge you to pick it up. It's so fun and difficult, and it has a great leveling system. It took me 50 hours to beat it the first time. I've definitely been hoping to see a big reviewer like you talk about this strong open world game.
Dishonored is my all-time favorite game. I enjoy every mission (my fav being "The Flooded District" because it's also the one I find to be the hardest when doing a no-kill-no-upgrade-all-stealth-playthrough ^^) and the different characters (oh, sweet old Granny Rags and her birds :P).
3:37 well past pro jarred you got your wish........ 4 years later.
