Dude, this is why I come to you for game reviews. The first 10 minutes I played Dark Souls I fucking hated it, almost turned it off and got my money back. Luckily for me I played past that 10 minute mark. I wouldn't put it number one for me but it would be in my top 3 or 4 for 2011 for sure. Great list also, keep it up man!
You've got great taste in games. The only games that I would disagree with are Portal 2 and Dead Souls. Something about those environmental puzzles just frustrates the hell out of me. I HATE Portal. And I'm not a very patient gamer so I didn't even bother with Dark Souls, which is kind of strange because I loved Catherine and that game was REALLY hard. And I can't wait for the Witcher 2 to hit the 360. Its dark, there's political drama, great combat, AND sex. How could could I not love it.
It was a good list but I com-pletely disagree about DA2,for me it was one of the worst games of 2011 and definitely the worst game bioware have ever made,it was nowhere near as good as its predecessor Dragon age origins.
I personaly think skyrim is boring.(i'm a huge fan of the previous TES games)But i find the characters to be uninteresting,the setting feels uninteresting,the gameplay is ok it's not stiff but it's not exciting except for the exploring,the graphics are great,(specialy the water) there are next to no alternative paths in the dungeons wich are very linear and the story starts rather weak to me(a prisoner AGAIN FOR THE 5th TIME IN A ROW?!).That's how i feel about it.
I would switch Skyrim with Witcher, but that's based purely on the fact I haven't played Witcher yet, I have heard GREAT things about it. Omg, this list is great. :'3
@ZeitgeistReview That is a disappointment, Truly. One of the best games of the first quarter of 2011 in my opinion, But hey, I hope you get to do more reviews of games, I've bought almost every game you've reviewed, Mind Jack not included.
Great list. I'm glad to see Catherine and Dragon Age II getting some love. And while I do agree that DAII wasn't quite as epic as origins, the combat, dialogue system, and art style were much improved. If Bioware had put in more than 3 or 4 dungeon layouts in this game, I think I would've liked it even more.
Great List, I'm happy You picked Dragon Age II which was a flawed, but hellishley addicting game which made a lot of fun. Witcher 2 I have to play, but I'm still waiting for it to be released on the PS3 (which should be around March/April this year). Its so amazing how many games there were, I had the feeling LBP2 was out longer than 2011, but hey, i was WRONG! So again, GREAT LIST!
Great list ZeitGeist, I love your opinion of gaming. I really want to get into Skyward Sword, but I can't fucking stand the motion controls, it's probably my own set up, but I have to re-sync like every 15 mins., it's annoying as hell.
Good call leaving MW3/BF3 off the list. While they are good in their own right I feel like they don't offer anywhere near enough content or satisfying gameplay to earn a spot in the top 10. Not to mention the war that would break out between their respective fan-boys.
Dark Souls was amazing. I couldn't agree with you more that it deserves #1.
@Buckethead1221 Agreed. I personally love games like Call of Duty, but for a top 10 list? Nah. Sadly, don't like Dark Souls. I like being able to play through games without much hassle, but I love the game industry is starting to make games for gamers who want the challenge. I hated Skyrim too..Just got boring, but agreed. Loved the list, and overall, opinions are opinions. They are fun to discuss, until the fanboys come.
YES!! I'm happy you agree with me on dark Souls. I'm on NG+ with my main and I have 2 other characters lined up. It's held my attention better than any other game of 2011.
there are so many games that i still want to get, and you forgot total war shogun 2. that one was pretty hard to miss, but u missed it.I still want to get the deus ex and batman game though, they scored such amazing reviews that they must be stupendous games.
Lol! Yeah, I have to agree with Dark Souls ahead of Skyrim. Yes, Skyrim has an awesome presentation, but I felt like that DS is much challenging and had fluid combat mechanics than Skyrim did. Plus I love the Single-Player/Multiplayer Hybrid aspect of Dark Souls. It gets really intense when someone invades your game!
0:09 no no no no no no no no NO! 2010 was waaaaaay better then 2011 and so was 2007. and then 2011.
i would go into nerd rage mode, which i did before in some of your other videos, but you said yourself your opinion is irellavant to everyone but yourself in the beginning of the video, so i guess i shouldn't really give a shit. but i still think putting zelda so low is blapshemy.
To every1 that's bitching about the list: IT'S HIS FUCKING LIST! Sure, we all, including me don't agree with every single game, but it's his list. I personally would rate Uncharted 3 the number one game, but hey, it's his list.
Demon's Souls used to be the best consol game ive ever played, when Dark souls came i wasnt let down in any way. I love the game and its actually my first and only Platinum trophy so far (i have about 30 games). Think ive spent about 300 hours so far on different chars/specs. When i played Skyrim i got bored after about 50 hours because of the dull combat system which cant compare the Dark Souls awsomenes
@bastorbap I love RPGs but I only play easier ones like mass effect, elder scrolls, deus ex and probably the only "hard" one i've played was dragon age origins, I really want to try dark souls but it seems like a really hard game. Should I try it? Is it the type of hard where you'll be stuck on one boss for hours and hours? I'm just afraid i'll never beat it and get pissed at it, but it looks incredible.
@alpinestarsssss Well the thing is, if ur stuck on a boss in dark souls you can just summone two players to help you. If your not hooked up to the internet with the console you can also summone a NPC to help you with some of the bosses. But if you wanna solo everything you problably need to grind souls so you can lvl up or upgrade your gear to make it easier. Before starting a char you should visit dark souls wiki, you can find all sorts of tips there including nice char specs
hears my top ten (my opinion) 10 mortal combat 9 deus ex 8portal 2 7imfamous 2 6 dark souls 5 zelda 4 skyrim 3 metal gear solid collection 2 uncharted 3 1 batman arkam city
I completely agree with the Number 1 Spot going to Dark Souls. It seems like Skyrim has been grabbing every award lately (granted it's a good game, but it lacks replay value as you can do everything on 1 character.)
@isti1122 he did say it was the games he had the most fun playing. Uncharted 3 was a little underwhelming I thought, and its starting to get that been there done that feel to it
@lorenzzi dragon age 2 was good just lacked the amount of content and a better story then the previous one, don't hate what you cant understand, can't wait for Dragon Age 3 :D
Thank you for the top 10, it might convince me to one day buy Dark Souls! Also, thanks for making fun of al the raging nerds, had me giggling every now and then! Have you ever tried the game Bastion?
In my opinion, Dragon Age II had nothing on the original. The only thing that blew me away was the magic combat, other than that I was disappointed. The story was not as great as Origins. I still get chills when I think of how great a game it was.
My personal favourite is Skyrim, but it's a great list nonetheless. Looks like I really have to try out The Witcher 2! Too bad Dark Souls isn't out for PC.
Forza Motorsport 4 = AWESOME! SKYRIM = AWESOME! HALO: Anniversary Edition Is The BIGGEST BANG for your buck in 2011 = AWESOME! CALLoFDUTY: MW3 BEST SHOOTER will rob you of your sleep, theres a reason MW3 broke every sales record known to man in GAMES, Movies and Music MW3 = AWESOME! GEARSoFWAR3 BEST Multiplayer is RIGHT = AWESOME! Deus EX: got love it = AWESOME! RAGE came up a bit short but still a blast especialy for $29.00 = AWESOME! BATMAN AC = AWESOME!. All these game I got and !!"AWESOME"!!
it is so refreshing to finally see a "best of 2011" list that has the witcher 2 placed above skyrim. i'd say those are my two favorite this year, but i was astonished at the lack of credit the witcher 2 got. my top five would probably be witcher 2, skyrim, deus ex: hr, dark souls, and reluctantly arkham city. (i don't like batman, but can't help but love the game). good year for rpgs. looking forward to kingdom of amalur: reckoning the most this year.
your list is pretty good it's while I still have yet to play half of those games, due to money/time since so many great games on all platforms.( waiting for Witcher 2 for 360 since my computer sucks ass)
@ZeitgeistReview Yo, the reason for that is likely that it gets buried by other subscriptions in people's subscription boxes, I know that is what happened to me, I apologize for not being aware of this until almost a week afterwards, even if I personally believe that Skyrim and Zelda have no business being on this list, I respect ur opinion, and very much agree with you giving Dark souls the GoTY.
Woohoo! Dark Souls! I was playing Skyrim thinking about how I want my second play-through to go, but I decided to try Dark Souls first. Needless to say it was Dark Souls that got the second play-through. Skyrim was too easy for my taste, although still a great game. As for Dark Souls, it is a strange experience when you like a game so much, yet at the same time you are squeezing the controller trying to break it. Can't wait to try Witcher 2 on XBox.
top ten ps3 and vita. (they are both one console now)exclusive games of 2012 1 timesplitters 4 if it comes out(probably not) 1 The last guardian(also probably the my fav game altogether of 2012) 2title fight(if it comes out) 2 Tales of graces f 3 Final fantasy versus XIII 4 street fighter X tekken 5 ruin 6 sorcery( first good game for psmove) 7 monster hunter vita dragons crown 8 littlebigplanet vita 9 sly 4 10 starhawk 11 twisted metal JAK 4 PLZ
Hahah I totally knew Dark Souls was gonna be your #1. It is mine, too. I actually really liked your list. Dragon Age 2 was sooo underrated in my opinion, and I actually liked it better than Skyrim. I only have an xbox, so I didn't play The Witcher 2 but I am eagerly awaiting its release on console.
Thank you so much for giving respect to Dark Souls. I love Skyrim and most of the others, but when it comes down to it, I am playing Dark Souls for hours on end. Most of the games you listed as game of the year were remakes or sequels to past games. Dark Souls is related to Demon Souls, but holds it own. People tend to quit Dark Souls early due to the high learning curve, but a few hours in and a few awesome weapons and you will find its 6AM and time to get ready for work.
Thank, fucking, God you gave Witcher 2 some love. It's by far the most over looked game of the year because of that fucking shitty Elder's Scroll game came out in the same year/genre.
Although I was surprised with Skyrim being 3rd, I felt that the Witcher 2 and Dark Souls were good enough to be over Skyrim, without me thinking you're insane. I'm in decent agreeance with your list, and I'm very glad none of the big name FPS games didn't make the cut, as none felt original or quite up to par with expectations. So, all in all, I enjoyed the vid. May the blessing of the Night Mother be upon you, brother.
@Xolition Yeah, agreed. DA2 had the problems that everyone so rightly pointed out, but as with Skyrim, still excelled in the most important areas of what it was attempting. But I'm not a fan of at least three of his picks with main characters who talk like Batman, except maybe Batman itself because you could play as Catwoman.
This was a true gamers top 10 IMO, I only played 2 of those top 10 mainly because I only have a PC but also because of cash and time problems, I also played more indie games like Bastion and Costume Quest :), Great video man!
hey zeit! good to see there is no modern warfare or bf in ur list.. those 2 games just dont belong there... i agree with u for a big part with this list... tho i think skyrim should be nmbr 1
Although they weren't as good, I can handle the top 2 being above Skyrim. But thank the nine divines Skyward Sword wasn't chosen over Skyrim. Praise Talos.
@DCAMM720 They weren't as good? I don't really know about Dark Souls, as I haven't played it. but The Witcher 2 was a significantly better role playing game than skyrim.
@steinblood It was pretty. And while I enjoyed the story it wasn't much of the type of RPG that most people like to play. Games like Skyrim and even Dark Souls(to an extent) give you more freedom to do anything over games like the Witcher. It was good, but it wasn't Skyrim good.
@DCAMM720 Well, it doesn't really matter what people like to play. CDProject made a game appealing to a certain type of people . Just because you can go where and do what you want, doesn't make it great. In fact, wherever you go or what you do, your actions hardly matter at all in skyrim. You can go east, west, south, north, but without much significance. It is indeed a good sandbox-action-rpg, but as an rpg in itself, The Witcher 2 is superior.
@steinblood Have you played it? Doesn't really sound like it. That is exactly what makes it great is freedom. They're two different kinds of RPG's. The Witcher is the kind where you're put into one person's shoes and play out their story. Elder Scrolls and many others you don't have to play out any story. You can do anything, that's what is attractive about games like this. In terms of story and graphics, they're both on par with each other. But Skyrim has much better gameplay.
I want to suggest Bastion. Beautiful music and heart-wrenching story, its a game everyone should play.

My personal favourite is Skyrim, but it's a great list nonetheless. Looks like I really have to try out The Witcher 2! Too bad Dark Souls isn't out for PC.

it is so refreshing to finally see a "best of 2011" list that has the witcher 2 placed above skyrim. i'd say those are my two favorite this year, but i was astonished at the lack of credit the witcher 2 got. my top five would probably be witcher 2, skyrim, deus ex: hr, dark souls, and reluctantly arkham city. (i don't like batman, but can't help but love the game). good year for rpgs. looking forward to kingdom of amalur: reckoning the most this year.

@ZeitgeistReview Yo, the reason for that is likely that it gets buried by other subscriptions in people's subscription boxes, I know that is what happened to me, I apologize for not being aware of this until almost a week afterwards, even if I personally believe that Skyrim and Zelda have no business being on this list, I respect ur opinion, and very much agree with you giving Dark souls the GoTY.

Woohoo! Dark Souls! I was playing Skyrim thinking about how I want my second play-through to go, but I decided to try Dark Souls first. Needless to say it was Dark Souls that got the second play-through. Skyrim was too easy for my taste, although still a great game. As for Dark Souls, it is a strange experience when you like a game so much, yet at the same time you are squeezing the controller trying to break it. Can't wait to try Witcher 2 on XBox.

katherine was just liquified shit IMO, just cos you were dissapointed with uncharted 3 doesn't mean it can't at least beat katherine!
would replace catherine with rayman origins,(rayman 2 FTW) and I would replace dues ex with uncharted 3. yeah. dats good.

@randomer24700 Uncharted 3 was inferior to it's predecessor and just because you don't like Catherine doesn't mean that others can't like it.

Hahah I totally knew Dark Souls was gonna be your #1. It is mine, too. I actually really liked your list. Dragon Age 2 was sooo underrated in my opinion, and I actually liked it better than Skyrim. I only have an xbox, so I didn't play The Witcher 2 but I am eagerly awaiting its release on console.

Thank you so much for giving respect to Dark Souls. I love Skyrim and most of the others, but when it comes down to it, I am playing Dark Souls for hours on end. Most of the games you listed as game of the year were remakes or sequels to past games. Dark Souls is related to Demon Souls, but holds it own. People tend to quit Dark Souls early due to the high learning curve, but a few hours in and a few awesome weapons and you will find its 6AM and time to get ready for work.

Thank, fucking, God you gave Witcher 2 some love. It's by far the most over looked game of the year because of that fucking shitty Elder's Scroll game came out in the same year/genre.

Although I was surprised with Skyrim being 3rd, I felt that the Witcher 2 and Dark Souls were good enough to be over Skyrim, without me thinking you're insane. I'm in decent agreeance with your list, and I'm very glad none of the big name FPS games didn't make the cut, as none felt original or quite up to par with expectations. So, all in all, I enjoyed the vid. May the blessing of the Night Mother be upon you, brother.

@Xolition Yeah, agreed. DA2 had the problems that everyone so rightly pointed out, but as with Skyrim, still excelled in the most important areas of what it was attempting. But I'm not a fan of at least three of his picks with main characters who talk like Batman, except maybe Batman itself because you could play as Catwoman.

@DCAMM720 They weren't as good? I don't really know about Dark Souls, as I haven't played it. but The Witcher 2 was a significantly better role playing game than skyrim.
steinblood 1 month ago
@steinblood It was pretty. And while I enjoyed the story it wasn't much of the type of RPG that most people like to play. Games like Skyrim and even Dark Souls(to an extent) give you more freedom to do anything over games like the Witcher. It was good, but it wasn't Skyrim good.
DCAMM720 1 month ago
@DCAMM720 Well, it doesn't really matter what people like to play. CDProject made a game appealing to a certain type of people . Just because you can go where and do what you want, doesn't make it great. In fact, wherever you go or what you do, your actions hardly matter at all in skyrim. You can go east, west, south, north, but without much significance. It is indeed a good sandbox-action-rpg, but as an rpg in itself, The Witcher 2 is superior.
steinblood 1 month ago
@steinblood Have you played it? Doesn't really sound like it. That is exactly what makes it great is freedom. They're two different kinds of RPG's. The Witcher is the kind where you're put into one person's shoes and play out their story. Elder Scrolls and many others you don't have to play out any story. You can do anything, that's what is attractive about games like this. In terms of story and graphics, they're both on par with each other. But Skyrim has much better gameplay.
