Games as buggy as Asscree shouldn't be on any GOTY lists.

 

[Majestad]

I think Levine played Spirit Tracks...

 

[Sinatar]

Now this is a list I can get behind. Good stuff Mr. Levine.

Games as buggy as Asscree shouldn't be on any GOTY lists.

AC4 is more polished then both Skryim and Fallout 3 when they came out yet both Skyrim and Fallout 3 were on just about every GOTY list and everyone was ok with that.

 

[cubicle47b]

I bought Unity of Command. I'd never heard of it before.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

embarrassing.

Never heard of Unity of Command, will have to check it out

 

[mattiewheels]

embarrassing.

Never heard of Unity of Command, will have to check it out

But it's a dereliction of his duties as a game player (and a human being!) to not play Last of Us and rank it properly in your top 2.

 

[Host Samurai]

No Metal Gear Rising? Awful taste confirmed

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

I never encountered an equivalent to some of the crazy AC4 bugs while playing Skyrim.

Did he not play The Last of Us?

Well that didn't take long.

 

[marjo]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

Prepare to have your mind blown. I played The Last of Us... and it doesn't make my list.

I hope you're ok.

 

[epmode]

Speaking as someone who likes The Last of Us: Fuck The Last of Us

Unity of Command is 70% of the developers site right now $5.99 instead of $19.99.

http://unityofcommand.net/

Purchases include Steam activation, and there is a demo available.

Try the demo, GAF! It may be difficult but it's a joy to play. Brilliant interface.

 

[Clearos]

I'm pretty upset that his opinion of the Top games does not match my own. Burn the Heretic.

Looks like I'm getting fallen enchantress on Steam now.

I haven't experienced any bugs in AC4.

 

[CrackPebbles]

Oh god if I was a successful developer and I made a GOTY list gaf would tear my ass asunder.

As long as your most recent game wasn't mediocre and forgettable, people would go easy on you.

 

[ghst]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

i dunno, did you not play unity of command?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Hrm, I'd never heard of Unity of Command, sounds interesting.

Not sure what to say about Dishonored and ACIV, but...

 

[RK9039]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

It's simply not good enough.

 

[silenttwn]

3. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

A magical game about a floutist.

... wait, Ocarina of Time?

 

[CrackPebbles]

Unity of Command looks like history channel the game, so it must be a super hardcore pc strategy game.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Glad to see Lego Marvel get some love.

 

[Higgins113]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

Christ alive

 

[epmode]

You clearly haven't seen many military strategy games. UoC is infinitely more approachable than something like Hearts of Iron 3.

 

[SparkTR]

Unity of Command looks like history channel the game, so it must be a super hardcore pc strategy game.

It's actually extremely accessible and fun to play for people who haven't tried the genre before. If you want super hardcore check out the Hearts of Iron series.

 

[Carl]

Christ guys, it was a joke lol

 

[73V3N]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

Hopefully Ken Levine can take some time to play The Last of Us next year.

here we go

 

[CrackPebbles]

You clearly haven't seen many military strategy games..

I have not

It's actually extremely accessible and fun to play for people who haven't tried the genre before.

Cool, it looked daunting from the screenshots but I don't know much about the pc strategy scene so...everything looks daunting.

 

[Danthrax]

I guess I was beaten on the "Link doesn't play a flute in Wind Waker" drumbeat.

 

[Arpeggio23]

Interesting.

 

[GillianSeed79]

I find developer lists interesting because, in all honestly, when they are working really hard on a game or getting ready to ship, I seriously doubt they actually play a lot of games, so you see stuff you've never heard of or stuff they just got around to playing.

Also, Ken doesn't have any friends? What?

 

[rezn0r]

Churchill didn't actually say that. I only know this because I like to get wasted and listen to the Pogues, and sometimes look things up.

As for the list, I'd put his game and TLOU and a few others ahead of some of these. Also didn't play a few of them so I'll check those out too.

 

[epmode]

Cool, it looked daunting from the screenshots but I don't know to much about the pc strategy scene so...everything looks daunting.

That's understandable.

I'll post a comparison anyway!

There are tooltips for EVERYTHING in Unity of Command. And it's all easy to read and understand.

 

[CharminUltra]

Not a bad list, looks like he has very specific tastes.

 

[RooMHM]

Getting ready to post RooMHM's top10 in a new thread.
How is Ken Levine considered as a video games wise master is beyond my comprehension.

 

[8sanders]

Hmmmm....... Love the list. Filled with surprises and intrigues me to maybe check out some new stuff. Lords of water deep? On my phone right now and I have never checked it out . Good stuff.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Games as buggy as Asscree shouldn't be on any GOTY lists.

I'm playing it on pc, about half way in and I haven't come across a single glitch. Also it's a pretty fucking awesome game, lack of chest hair aside.

Developing System Shock 2 gives you a lifetime pass to threads like these.

 

[KKRT00]

Expected more 'experience' type of games, was totally surprised.
Great list Levine.

System Shock 2 and Thief.

 

[Derrick01]

System Shock 2 and Thief.

Feels like a lifetime ago now.

Hell I guess it was when you consider there's probably a lot of teens on this board.

 

[Currygan]

someone send Levine a 3DS with no games. The sense of shallowness would then mirror my own when playing Infinite

 

[teepo]

unity of command is a unforgiving game which demands perfection but the mechanics are some of the best around. i can only hope that at least one developer lifts the game's supply line mechanic and incorporates it into something that is a little more gamey.

surprised anybody would be interested in the expansion given how hard the og game is

 

[Mr.Green]

Did he not play The Last of Us?

Wow, what a shitty list.

Different people have different tastes. Deal with it!

 

[Nibel]

System Shock 2 and Thief.

Man, I played System Shock 2 for the first time this year and that game is incredible; playing the highest difficulty and with a headset in a dark room was a fantastic experience that no other FPS this year replicated for me

Also, how deep that game is.. I like the new BioShock games, but man it's just so weird how much deeper older games are compared to new ones

 

[Saganator]

I like how his top game is an obscure game he just happens to love. If I were to make a list, Prison Architect would be my top game, and its not even finished.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Christ guys, it was a joke lol

After reading through your post history, I somehow don't believe you.

 

[erragal]

Someone get this man Europa Universalis IV

Seconded!

 

[lethial]

Very easy to see who doesn't own a 3DS.

Do you hold that against him? I don't understand this comment.

 

[eot]

It's not that obscure, but if you're not into war/strategy games it's not strange that you haven't heard about it.
