From 2007?
You'd love 2 then. Better hero, variety, and the hone AC's gameplay to a fine sheen.
Back to Bioshock Infinite though, are the two IGN samples the only 'examples' of what we can expect from the standard soundtrack?

AC wasn't a huge disappointment for me personally, but I definitely had a "Maybe next time" view on it.
Rock Band was 2007 as well. Damn fun times.
Holy crap, Skate. also released in 2007.
Ahh ok, and we must be in totally different time zones cause that post was at around noon for me today, which was 6 hours ago.
Texas-GAf here...Don't hate me, a lot of us Texans are good peeps
I live in Colorado, yo (Stoner-GAF represent). When I was talking about last night I meant that's when we were having better discussions.

Don't worry, that's why I'm in here instead of the usual suspects.I don't even have a machine capable of playing the game!
What do you do then? Watch it?

mario galaxy wasn't horrible I guess but I was mostly bored with it. Had a small amount of fun with it in some levels I suppose.
Yeah I didnt realize GoW2 came out then either.

I hated COD4 then and I hate it now.
I seriously don't get how anyone can say COD4 isn't as bad as let say MW2.
Not as many set pieces and average story doesn't change the design philosophy of those type of shooters.

Damn! That was a good year!
It seems most RPG's of that time were also struck with bad combat.

Oh god, that list is fucking amazing. 1998, 2004 and 2007 are monumental years for gaming.
For it's time, it was pretty damn fantastic. It's just they milked the formula after it's massive success.
2004 is still the best year ever, but 07 is easily the best of this mostly horrible generation.
COD 4 had the best multiplayer of the franchise and the most balanced. The RPG stuff and unlocking everything was pretty addictive at the time too, even if most of us hate it now. But it was back when COD still mostly relied on player skill since it only had 3 kill streaks and not as many insane perks.
Voice of Reason said:
I left out stuff too since I was only listing what I liked from that year. Like I didn't add Halo 3 for example.
I dunno, the 60fps on consoles, the AC-130 mission (even in Post-Spec Ops hindsight), the "account for the wind" sniper mission with Price, watching your main character die from first person, and the best multiplayer the franchise has ever had go a long way towards making Call of Duty 4 pretty special.
Not being a huge Metal Gear Solid or Halo fan does kind of put a bit of a damper on that year, for me. It's certainly the best of that console generation, without question, but 2007 is just so... boner.
I'm out!

1998 > 2004 > 2007.

If 2013 goes with Last Of Us not sucking, and GTA V being fantastic, this year will be the best year ever.
We shouldnt have to be out, they should be banned instead. Not that the comment was very spoilery but anyone that does spoil needs to be dealt with.

1998. Ill never forget it. It was the year of those grisly murders in Raccoon City.

I don't periodically update myself but I did see gameplay of SR.
I'm just use to delays on Kickstarter.
OK I'm back. GAF addiction you know...
Guys just, don't even mention anything about any ending in here! In fact, let's stop using the word ending for a while.

Unfortunately, killing is just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it.

yeah, you're right...that shit just made my blood boil immediately.
at least I have avoided major spoilers unlike other people.

i can't stop coming back
Two of my favorite games of all time, Half-Life and the PC port of Final Fantasy VII (how I first played it) were from that year. I can certainly never forget it.
And mothafuckin' StarCraft... So much StarCraft. Nevermind, you're right, 1998 is the best year ever.
I asked my parents for three games for Christmas that year: StarCraft, Trespasser, and Rainbow Six.
2/3 ain't bad.
The graphics were considerably better, since I was lucky enough to have a compatible Voodoo 2 card for it, but I remember it being so picky about 3D Accelerators and sound cards at the time, it was rather a terrible port.
I was also lucky enough to have hardware that was compatible with the MIDI synthesizer so I didn't have to listen to the normal PC music, which is notoriously worse than the PS1.
So, because I was lucky, it was great. There were certainly plenty of people at the time who were forced to play it in Software mode (even w/ a 3D Accelerator) and without the proper MIDI synthesization. Poor bastards.

every e-mail notification has me scrambling to my phone hoping it's news that my copy's been shipped. regardless of how wishful-thinking that is.

I keep saying I'm out... but I can't stay away. I didn't get any work done yesterday, and I doubt I will get any done today!
These 2007 discussions warm my heart. One of the best years, for sure. I see 1998 and 2004 getting mentioned, but I think 1994 should also be put in the mix. There was a thread about this a few months back.
Have any new impressions come out for Infinite? Is the verdict looking good?
