And it's set in Japan, despite having background images of Brown University and random parking lots full of American cars.

This is my first time hearing about this game, and I just watched the trailer

SO MUCH WHAT

Ah, I just googled it. I've heard about this.

Although, giving the dimensions and sizes of the girls on the website makes me think this is just a game for people who like teh anime six. Bit weird and unnecessary for them to do that.

EDIT: On the website it says it's available to DL. Is it not out later in the year?

What Katawa Shoujo?

You'd think that, but actually playing the game has the perculiar effect of killing all six drive for about two weeks.

Edit: Yes it's out. Came out in January actually, hence "this year". It's free too.

It does seem a bit morbid. I may well check it out. I've been intrigued by these "Visual Novels" for a while now.

Look forward to Mech Warrior and maybe CS:Go if battlefield wares off.

Give it a try, my first thought was "wow thats [censored] up". But its actually well done. As for the anime six comment, Hanako's (my favorite path) is around 5 hours, the six scene is near the very end. Thats a hell of a devoted person to go through all that, for a few pictures of her naked. Hell the six scene itself had me raging at Hisao.

Just try it, its free. You may like it, then try some other great VNs. I was aginst it, but since then I have read a few VN's and realy enjoyed them, I actually got bored of games becuase of them.


Oh its not morbid, its just what it does. Lots of people on /v/ complained about how the game killed their six drive for some reason. Common enough that they refered to it as "katawa dike" which is funny as hell becuase katawa means disabled/broken I belive.

Well I've bought nothing this year, but definitely looking forwards to Halo 4.

I'm going to say Mass Effect 3 will be GOTY until Halo 4 comes around. Then it'll be a battle between Black Ops 2 and Halo 4.

Hmm, strange. I read the title correctly yet I see no mention of The Last Story in this entire thread.

I wish they would just kill Halo.

CoD should die first, it has been milked far worse than Halo.

Why are you here, dont you have a creepy anime dating sim to download

I don't understand why people who don't like a game want to see it disappear when there are millions of people who love it. I hope to be playing Call of Duty 93 and Halo 125 in fifty years. I wouldn't really care if no other game came out ever but those two and sports games, I'd be able to die a happy guy. Of course I like variety, but those are plenty for me.

Your dream will come true if it keeps up like this.

I think its a year for bland mediocre games, and some sequels, i think like alot of the years they pick game of the year it'll be whichever company pays off whoever picks it enough money to give it game of the year, because alot of games of the year shouldnt be or if they are it says alot about the quality of the other games.

Yup, evil corporations these days. This year looks extremely promising, I would argue even more so than last year.

I haven't played a single game released this year, yet... so I'll just say Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a game I played within a year's time from this moment, fills that spot.

I don't know if it was from this year, but I would have to say the best game I have encountered this year is "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories," for the Wii

Yea, its for the Wii... You might be thinking... But, seriously. The game was designed so well. I would even say it is a classic, and I am pretty picky

he said "so far"

i would say kingdoms of amalur is the best so far

Nothing at all for me so far, this year.
Looking forward to Dragons Dogma and The Witcher: Assassin of Kings - on xbox, over the next few months.

https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/ just started its open beta. It's awesome.

There has been games released this year, whaa..!?

Though I've not played it and I liked the last one, and from the animation and battling - FFXIII-2 looks awesome.

You say this is the best game of the year and the new Hitman and Resident Evil games aren't even out yet? For shame.

So far!

How are people not seeing this part of the title???
