IGN Writes: But not in the way you might think.
2012 was a miserable year for gamers. Not because the Wii U didn't hit with quite the bang we were hoping for. Not because the PS Vita failed to find a healthy audience. Not even because Mass Effect 3 didn’t quite stick its landing. Instead, 2012 was a miserable year for gamers because developers are perfecting the art of making us feel that way – and it’s a good thing.
Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁
@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.
I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.
I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.
Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.
Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.
Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅
I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
Shaz from GL: "The way Journey evokes emotions through its narrative without using traditional storytelling methods is something no game has been able to replicate."
i got the chance to play Witcher 2 wich is loved on 360. Amazing Game.
Halo 4 is amazing i loved the game aswell Forza Horizon.
Hitman Absolution, Dishonored, Far Cry 3 were so good.
Journey surprised the hell out of me, probably my personal Goty even if its Sony and i dislike Sony, i have to admit this and 2013 looks amazing for Ps3 Gamers, i have a Ps3 and i cant wait for Last os Us and God of War man, thanks Sony i dont like you but your games... damn your motherfuc**** games...
i could go on, Mass Effect 3 is outstanding aswell, Diablo 3 but i dont want to go too vast into this.
2012 was a great year, sorry ign.
I know Heavy Rain wasn't release in 2012, but that brought a lot of emotions to me. I heard some things about Spec Ops: The Line story, but haven't played it much. Might give it another go.

Understandably 2013 is going to be Superior in almost every way.
2013's Gaming list for Console, handheld + PC looks epic TBH.
But yea 2012 was a great year for games for me personally.
I rediscovered hand helds...RPG's....got into minecraft....discovered my first PS product in the PSP...
Was an eventful year...I'm the kind of person still playing College Hoops 2k8 for the 200th time though so maybe it's just me who appreciates gaming in a different way than the rest of the industry.
