game timeline 2011
antoj did this thing so I'm going to steal it from her even though my list is going to look pathetic because I haven't finished many games at all this year.
Doing the same thing as she did and only listing when I played something for the first time. Anything that I played but didn't start in 2011, I'll dump in the "games you replayed in 2011" section at the bottom. (Spoiler alert: there will be a lot.)

Of these titles I got these ones to 100% (all trophies/achievements) completed: Resistance 3, LA Noire, Dragon Age: Origins
I need to stop getting new games so I can play these ones but I can't. I have a problem. I just need more time/motivation to finish everything...
Number of Times I Completed Each Game:
Killzone 3: 1
Dead Space 2: 1.5? I think I was still working on my second play.

Dragon Age 2: 2.5
Portal 2 (360): 3

Games I completed the most were Portal 2 (four times between 360 and PS3), Dragon Age 2 (2.5 times), and Resistance 3 (2.5 times, though eventually this will be a full three times). But this list is pretty much the perfect picture of how I went from not busy/very few games to play to HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT IS FREE TIME AND WHY DID ALL OF THE GAMES RELEASE AT ONCE WHILE I'M BUSY.
Most Anticipated Title: Uh.. I don't know. Portal 2 and Uncharted 3? For games I got at launch anyway. I was pretty stoked while I was waiting for DXHR to be delivered too, though.
Biggest Letdown: inFamous 2 and Dragon Age 2, I guess? I still enjoyed them both (in fact I probably enjoyed Dragon Age 2 more than a lot of other people did) but they both had their issues. inFamous 2 mostly with changing Cole (consistency, SPP, do you know this word?), and Dragon Age 2 with its <10 dungeon permutations and its combat changes. I also felt like Dragon Age 2's story didn't flow very well. I still loved it and I'm excited to see where its going for Dragon Age 3 but I think it could have been a lot better.
Most Surprising Game: DXHR and Ratchet & Clank. DXHR because I knew absolutely nothing about it besides memes and then what antoj started telling me, so it was pretty surprising to me when I ended up buying it solely on that. And Ratchet & Clank (in general) because I'm typically shit at platformers but R&C is a pretty cool guy and I enjoyed what I've played of R&C: A4O so far. eyebrowaddict got me R&C: A Crack in Time so I plan on playing that soon :D
Favorite Game of 2011: DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION. HANDS. DOWN. I haven't had the time to play it a million more times but I PLAN TO because I love it and just oh my god it's so wonderful. Runners up go to STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (ALL MY LOVE TO THIS GAME) and Resistance 3 (so much fun and shenanigans).
Top 5 Favorite Characters:
These explanations are going to be shit because I'm lazy. /dealwithit.gif
1) David Sarif from Deus Ex: Human Revolution: He is the coolest. And if you've been paying any attention at all to my icons, this should come as absolutely no surprise. Seriously, though, I haven't enjoyed a video game character so much in quite awhile.
2) Varric Tethras from Dragon Age 2: He is the most badass dwarf and everyone is just jealous they're not as cool as him.
3) Charlie Tent from Resistance 3: TROLOLOLOLOLOL and that's all I'm going to say on that matter. Charlie is the best and a fucking troll. for srs.
4) Cave Johnson from Portal 2: Hands down my favorite character in the game. The old Aperture Science labs are my favorite part in the game mostly because of him.
5) Jorhan Stahl from Killzone 3:
I rest my case.
Game that induced the most rage: I'm not sure... STALKER: SOC, I guess? It can be pretty difficult, so it's definitely given me some rage inducing moments. Playing the final boss fight ~6 times in Dragon Age: Origins resulted in some colorful swearing as well, as did defeating the boss in the Golems of Amgarrak DLC on Hard.
Game I want to get back to eventually in 2012: (this is going to include shit I haven't even touched yet :D)
