BEST GAME OF THE YEAR (Gamer Nation)

"There were so many great games that came out this year. Looking at some of the franchises, you had Assassin's Creed, you had Halo, you had Call of Duty. . Personally, I was really, really happy with Halo 4."

- Jovenshire

BEST GAME OF THE YEAR is the 9th episode of Gamer Nation, hosted by Jovenshire, Lasercorn, and returning guest Jessica Villarreal. It was released on November 24, 2012.

Description
@JesV is back with us to talk about the best game of 2012

Synopsis



 * Lasercorn "kinda" wants Dishonored to win. They discuss the possibility of it being overlooked due to it not yet being a franchise, being shorter, and lack of much marketing, unlike something like Assassin's Creed III. Lasercorn does not expect it to win, however Jovenshire suggested "maybe a nomination".
 * Compared to 2011, with releases such as Portal 2, Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Jessica felt that 2012 had a lot of underwhelming releases. She said that her favorite release of 2012 was The Walking Dead, which they talks about for a bit afterward.
 * Jovenshire wants Halo 4 to win. While discussing other first-person shooters, Lasercorn said that he felt that Call of Duty: Black Ops II was "playing it safe". Jessica said that she dislikes and finds it interesting that people so vigorously compare Halo and Call of Duty, thinking it as pointless as comparing Star Wars and Star Trek. Lasercorn partially disagrees, thinking that any two games are fairly comparable as long as they are in the same genre.
 * Ian's favorite game of 2012 was Mass Effect 3, even going so far as to say it is the "entire generation of everything". Anthony was very excited for the release of the Wii U, not caring that it technically does not count.
 * Jovenshire read the following off of Twitter.
 * @Misfit Krita: "Assassins Creed 3 and i really liked Resident Evil 6"
 * Jovenshire and Lasercorn (especially Lasercorn) agreed with this.
 * @WillFBradbury: "Aaahhh Chivalry: Medieval Warfare"
 * Jovenshire and Lasercorn (especially Jovenshire) agreed with this.
 * @DJTaryll: "#MaxPayne3 by far."
 * Jovenshire said that Sohinki would definitely with this if he were present.
 * @unfragmented: "Halo 4."
 * Jovenshire commented that @unfragmented agreed with him.
 * Jovenshire commented on how fans were also "pretty all over the place" and how there is no one single game everyone likes, making the awards all the more interesting.
