Logan’s List: PC Games of 2012
Next year is looking pretty good (though not quite as good as 2011 imo). I decided to throw some videos up for the games I am looking forward to… I’m only listing the mainstream PC titles here. I’ll put together an indie list later. I tend to like the indie games better these days. Anyway, here is the list:
#11 Far Cry 3
#10 Guild Wars 2
#9 Diablo III
#8 Torchlight 2
#7 Tribes 2
#6 Borderlands 2
#5 Mech Warrior Online
#4 Bioshock Infinite
#3 Mass Effect 3
#2 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
#1 Dishonored
Not looking forward to WoW: Mista of Pandaria
Also, let me know what I am missing. I threw this together rather quickly and it is subject to change whenever I feel like it.

Thanks for the list, I can’t think of any others at the moment. But I have some SAD news! If you didn’t already know, STALKER 2 is likely to be cancelled. That video of stalker 2 is actually just ARMA.

oops… replaced the footage… it looked a little weird.

i thought you would also be looking forward to syndicate?

The original trailer was much better.

Heart of the Swarm is yet to be confirmed!
30 Dec 2011, 3:36 pm
Is Mechwarrior actually coming out? I thought it got cancelled.
It looks like I’m definitely going to have to get Tribes 2 though.
30 Dec 2011, 4:08 pm
Tribes 2 is the old game from 2001. Tribes: Ascend is going to be a free-to-play game. It looks amazing, I can’t wait. Also, some recent news, you remember Mirror’s Edge 2 was cancelled? Well they’ve gone against that, and started development again. Yay!
30 Dec 2011, 4:08 pm
Really excited for Diablo 3 and GW2!
30 Dec 2011, 5:06 pm
You better not be lying.
30 Dec 2011, 5:11 pm
Don’t forget about Syndicate.
30 Dec 2011, 9:08 pm
i was looking forward to the new farcry, cause i loved instincts / preditor… but i watched the video and its a bunch of knife lunging and “master cheif’ing” through heavy cross fire….
30 Dec 2011, 11:11 pm
Borderlands 2! :I
31 Dec 2011, 1:02 am
yay! we have a fellow mech game lover
Diablo 3 looks amazing! S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 looks awesome. And for the people that do play WoW MoP should be new…. they are trying to revive world pvp which im a fan of

There is no STALKER 2 footage on the internet anywhere. Anything that claims to be STALKER 2 is just a fake.

I’m getting GW2 and Bioshock Infite for sure. Borderlands 2 is most likely ending in my collection too.
01 Jan 2012, 6:24 pm
World pvp normally ends up in:
A player 10+ levels above the suggested level for the area ganking questing players.
A player with full pvp set ganking players that only want to quest.
A 5 vs 2 or at least someone who hangs out with a healer 100% of the time ganking people who only care about questing.
Battlegrounds all the way for me.

My list of 8:
8. Syndicate – I’m not too sure about this one, and I don’t like that it’s taking the Fallout 3 approach to “great games people want sequels to”… But hey, I love a good Deus Ex-style game and if this can offer that, I’ll go for it.

7. Tribes Ascend – It would be my first Tribes game, so I’m not too sure about this one either but I love that old super-fast-and-crazy multiplayer approach to first-person shooters that I think we’ve lost for too long.
6. Mechwarrior Online – Not sure if this will actually come out in 2012 even if that is what they say, but regardless, I’ve been waiting for another Mechwarrior for years. Mech combat should not be dead!
5. Borderlands 2 – A minigun in one hand and a rocket launcher in the other. Sexual Tyrannosaurus. Pure exhilarating action. I dug the original Borderlands and this seems to be a big improvement over an already really cool game.

4. Prey 2 – This looks awesome, which is hard to believe since I LOATHED the original Prey. Again, Deus Ex-inspired games are my thing. This is less of an RPG and more of a shooter though, which is fine by me since I find a little RPG is better than no RPG.

3. Dishonored – Arx Fatalis is one of my favorite games and when I heard Harvey Smith was the designer and how amazingly Deus Ex-y this was, I felt like shooting into outer space. This is a dream game, but so little is known about it as of yet so I can’t say it’s my number one.
2. Bioshock Infinite – Huge fan of System Shock and Bioshock. This game looks insane and perhaps if you check out the 15-minute trailer, you’ll see why. A word of warning though for those who haven’t watched it: it kind of contains a spoiler regarding Elizabeth’s powers.

1. Mass Effect 3 – I guess I’m most excited about this since it won’t be long until it’s out. Huge Mass Effect fan since I’m more into deep, complex characters than a deep, complex world (a-la The Elder Scrolls, which don’t get me wrong, I love that approach too). This LONG 45-minute gameplay video also contains some small spoilers.

Syndicate looks awesome. I’m really loving how they stylized the game with that cold blooded killing attitude. Get in, get out, and kill anyone who gets in your way.
