Poll One Year Later: What wins YOUR game-of-the-year from 2012 (62 votes)

Halo 4 5%
The Last Story 3%
Xenoblade Chronicles 11%
Mass Effect 3 13%
Assassin's Creed III 0%
Far Cry 3 13%
Dishonored 3%
Borderlands 2 3%
Journey 8%
The Walking Dead 5%
Persona 4 Golden 10%
Mark of the Ninja 0%
XCOM: Enemy Unknown 13%
OTHER / "I'm a hipster!" 13%

i like to revive these because often at the end of the year people get swept up in hype and over time their opinions develop.

for me, 2012 was a really disappointing year.

  • Halo 4 = graphics game
  • Mass Eff 3 = horrible ending
  • Dishonored = bad morality system
  • Far Cry 3 = your average shooter (gameplay wise)
  • Assassin Creed III = 8 hour tutorial XCOM = weak level design

borderlands 2 and journey were really good, but they probably would not have won any other year this gen

Far Cry 3 for me. I suspect it didn't get the GS GOTY in the wake of that school massacre and the news channels were putting the spotlight on video game violence.

I think it still beat Mass Effect 3 in the final round.

Journey or FC3.

FC3 only because it surprised the hell out of me for not being utter dog shit like FC2 was

Persona 4 Golden. That would win in any year for me most likely.

P4G, although I've only played the original. 2012 was a pretty poor year, especially compared to 2011.
