Zero Punctuation's Top 5/Worst 5 of 2011

[terry107]

The best list needs more Witcher 2.

For anyone who has never heard of Bastion, download the demo off Steam. It's a fun game.

That is a pretty accurate list. I keep waiting for something similar to the first Red Faction, but no luck.

Well if they would only fix the autobalance in BF3 id say it would be a better game.

But realistically... 90% of the matches i go into BF3, just pubing, puts me in 1 sided games.
Its always one side having a substaintial advantage over the other, and autobalance doesnt do crap but make sure the same amount of players are in the game.

Anyone will tell you BF3 is not a stress relief but a stress adder because its so one sided.

Now if your one of those uber l33t people who gets accused of aimbotting, when you dont cheat... then dont get me wrong, i can see it being a fun game if u can lead your side to victory, but most of us arent.

So who really wants to keep jumping in and out of 1 sided games til you find that one perfect game where both sides are evenly matched?

I wish they would honestly FIX the autobalance so it worked, made it so the teams would be even'd out as much as possible, and try to not let these one sided games dominate Battle Field servers.

I never heard of Bastion before, but now that all these Game of the Year lists have been coming out I always keep hearing the name.

P.S. Got Portal 2 for $7.50 this past sale and it was fantastic. Worth every penny.

[bunnyfubbles]

list is clearly biased against multiplayer play, apparently Yahtzee has no friends

That would not be very surprising, would it?

Yeah, that is very true. If we are talking about the PC version however, that falls a lot on the server admin side of things.

One of the things my platoon and I tried to do when we setup our server was work out the auto balance through a thrid-party plug-in using Procon...

Unfortunately, no one plays in our server because DICE f'ed up the search query.
