    That's kind of the point, though. It's a list poll to see what people's reactions were to games they played (hopefully) when the year is over.

    If you were going to run this kind of poll later in the year, might as well just run the poll for the best game of 2005 now. However, it could be fairly interesting to do to compare to previous mcc polls.

    As I recall, over on GAF they decided to hold a best of 2008 poll earlier this year, to see how changed perspectives affected the voting. MGS4 still won, I believe.

    In the very first post of this thread mcc mentions that she's thinking about doing it next year because it is the 10th anniversary of the poll.

    MCC is a she?

    EDIT: Question Answered! Carry on!

    Game of the decade is gonna be fucking impossible to answer. I've played so many terrific games in that time that ranking them in any order and picking a #1 spot is..well, impossible.

    Hopefully we'll have more than 20 slots to play with

    I played (and beat) Frog Fractions just now.

    I can see why it was rated so highly.

    I saw this and was like ok fine, Ill look this up.

    So I went to the page.

    Holy shit. That would have made my top 10.

    That's impressive seeing as it didn't come out in '07.

    Must have been '08, then.

    I always enjoy reading this post.

    My two takeaways from this year:

    1) I guess I should really get Farcry 3 already

    and

    2) I think I'm gonna check out "War of the Human Tanks"

    hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet

    I played through Frog Fractions, so I guess I have to find Spec Ops: The Line now.

    I played frog fractions some, but it seems like saving up to get the warp drive would take hours

    *cough*the dragon can hold its breath*cough*

    I played all the way through and didn't really get what the bid deal was. I got a couple snickers, but that's about it. My funny bone may be broken. :?

    See, I figured that out accidentally. "Hmm, I can fly up with this dragon. How low can I g- ooooooh."

    You can swim down as soon as you get the turtle.

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    I found that out too, I had to reload the game because the sound stopped playing for some reason.

  • RenzoRenzo Registered User regular
    I just played Frog Fractions.

    I would like to think it was a fever dream caused by my being sick, but I know that's not the case.

    But it's the only explanation I have.

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    I'm a little embarassed by the amount of time I spent playing the fractions game to get enough fruit.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    I never did beat Frog Fractions

    Couldn't get past
    the text adventure

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    I both love and hate text adventures, because I love the format and hate the puzzles, so I just used a guide for that part.

  • Maz-Maz- 飛べ Registered User regular
    Just played some Frog Fractions.
    It's fun and cute and all, but I don't see what's so special about it or how someone could honestly say it's the best game they played last year.

    That would be why you don't think it's anything special.
    Try going down after you get the turtle.

  • RenzoRenzo Registered User regular
    Credits rolling on Spec Ops: The Line. Man. MAN. That would have been on my list. Maybe #2.

    Re: Frog Fractions: If there's one thing I would tell anyone who plays it, it's definitely "Go down."

    I noticed that "something was changing" when I kept turning the computer targeting system on and off, and I couldn't find any other way to change the game's long term state, so I just bought dozens of "turn computer targeting on" / "turn computer targeting off" upgrades to see if it eventually stopped letting me buy new ones, thinking that was "the point"
    One of two Indie games, the other being Passage, that were near ruined or at least changed into something else the first time I tried to play them because I didn't realize the up/down buttons were even wired up

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    I did the exact same thing with the targetting

    It appears Frog Fractions just isn't for me. It gave me the BSOD.

    I think it is about time for an upgrade.

  • RandomHajileRandomHajile Not actually a Snatcher The New KremlinRegistered User regular
    A Flash game gave you a BSOD? What kind of chip you got in there? A Dorito?

    (But seriously, Flash is terrible sometimes, I know.)

    I just went and looked at what this Frog Fraction thing was about.

    I think that game just broke my brain.

    There's a reason it was in my top 10 for last year; maybe top 5?

    Not like my opinion matters but...

    The Walking Dead - its decent, for a Heavy Rain push button scripted affair. The story is pretty decent and horrible at the same time (?too much drama maybe ...)
    There's no real game there though ...its basically interactive fiction.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown - for a turn based reboot its not bad, I just couldn't get into it. It seemed plagued by glitches. An autosave feature would have been great.

    Hotline Miami - the controls for this game sucked. Infinitely frustrating. Its a nice idea, just a poor execution. I mean cmon...retro gaming?
    Diablo 3 - I played the Beta and was not impressed.
    Legend of Grimrock - Its a rip from dungeon crawling like Eye of the Beholder, Shining in the Darkness, jesus even Etrian Odyssey, old Might and Magic, standard fair and not that interesting

    ME3 is good, but ME > ME2 > ME3 opinion-wise.

    GW2 - great, amazing MMO - dungeons are a bit lacking (its not TSW), but you don't have to really grind dungeons in this which is awesome. Big time sink.

    FTL - Great, just really hard. One of the best games in 2012.

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    There is an autosave feature in XCOM. It's called Ironman.

  • ZxerolZxerol for the smaller pieces, my shovel wouldn't do so i took off my boot and used my shoeRegistered User regular
    There's also a legit autosave toggle in the options that creates a rolling set of saves.

  • DhalphirDhalphir don't you open that trapdoor you're a fool if you dareRegistered User regular
    yeah honestly, i really dont see why the Walking Dead is even a game. It's little more than an interactive DVD menu.

    holy shit let's not do this again

    if we must focus on something wacky japh said, how about the confusing remark about "retro gaming" attached to the Hotline Miami. What kind of retro game controlled like Hotline Miami?

    You know what's barely a game? Mass Effect 3. You just fiddle your thumbs and pull a trigger.

    You know what's barely a game? Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. You just wave your hand around a bit.

    You know what's barely a game? Portal. You just walk around and listen to some woman talk about cake.

    You know what's barely a game? Diablo. You just click around on your mouse a bit.

    You know what's barely a game? Tetris. It's just some blocks that you move around.

  • Shady3011Shady3011 Registered User regular

    You know what's barely a game? Needlessly defending a game that won an online fan poll.
