Best games last gen?

With "last gen" basically over, what were the standouts?

For my money, Dark Souls and Rayman will be those games you'll want to play ten years from now. Especially Rayman.. One of the few, if not only, modern platformers that didn't chase a standard set years ago (Like Sonic Generations did), but raised the bar and became a standard all it's own.

Sonic Generations was ****ing amazing, definitely one of the best Sonic Games ever.

Rayman has been around since the SNES, he'll still be here years from now, but I agree.

Dark Souls as well, with this basically being the last souls game, we can rely on Bloodborne 2 and 3 for our fix.

Skyrim, MGS4, Red Dead, Deus Ex

I still need to buy a new PS3 tho v.v

Hey, I loved Generations, too.

It was basically a remake of the best of Sonic, from levels to the awesome rival battles (Seriously, the "Shadow" battle was so awesome, it melted my face. All Hail Shadow and Live and Learn to the power ups were nice touches.)

But in the end, a rehash is a rehash, no matter how well done it is. Rayman Origins and Legends went the extra mile with the unique Wii U controls, and even without that the level designs and boss battles were totally unique.

But yeah, Generations is so good, it makes me regret not being able to play Colors..

Red Dead, Dark Souls, Mass Effect, Dead Space, The Walking Dead, etc.

Look at The Force Awakens for example

Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Halo Reach, Overlord, Elder Scrolls, Portal, Grand Theft Auto IV, Dead Space, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead.

List goes on.

Forgot about Mass Effect. The second and the ones I named are my top 5 games of last gen.

Mass Effect 2.

The Last of Us, Dead Space, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, God of War III, Infamous, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Arkham City, and Heavy Rain.

Not going to mention the games already mentioned in the thread, so:

Assassin's Creed 2 & Assassin's Creed: Rogue
Bastion
Bioshock Infinite
Castle Crashers
Dishonored
GTA V
Journey
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Okami (really a 6th gen game, but was remade for the PS3, and is so awesome it deserves to be mentioned)
Outland
Sleeping Dogs
Street Fighter IV (+expansion packs)
Uncharted 2
Vanquish
XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within

+ some others I've forgotten. Meh.

Maybe. Generations was definately the most fun I've had with Sonic since the 16 bit era.

Except for Planet Wisp.. Hated that level.

I'll throw "Saints Row IV" on the list. The game is just f*cking fun.

Didn't know Okami was remade for the PS3.

Loved it on PS2 (Might go replay it now 🙂 ), but yeah, it deserves a mention on last gen, remake or not.

Skyrim, Culdcept (Love card games? This one was great), Rock Band, DC Universe Online (and still going strong), X-Com Enemy Within, Dragon Age, Fallout 3.
