Well the year is pretty much over. Lets discuss GOTY 2012

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]Kid Icarus: Uprising is the best game of the year, followed by Halo 4 and Assassin's Creed III.charizard1605

Basically just described my feelings towards D3. You know it's a sh*tty year when your favorite games are disappointments, lol.

Wait, Silent Hill was actually good? I completely ignored it.meetroid8

F*ck yeah. It's pure oldschool survival horror.

Either Max Payne 3 or Spec Ops: The Line thus far. Persona 4 Golden is definitely a contender from what I've played, and I have yet to check out AC3.

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] To be fair, I never said the games following Kid Icarus were listed in any sort of order :P But I guess Halo 4 is just the better made game. Still massively disappointing, but a well made disappointment. Whereas Assassins 3 is just a disappointingly made disappointment (that I still happen to find fun). I think I'll stop now.charizard1605

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Hey, Borderlands 2 was great fun. Kid Icarus: Uprising might be the best Nintendo game since Twilight Princess. Withcer 2 Enhanced Edition was great (albeit a re-release). Dishonored was surprising in how good it was. Final Fantasy XIII-2 was a pleasant surprise. Guild Wars 2 apparently was a breath of fresh air for MMOs. Torchlight II did well by ARPGs. Far Cry 3 looks like the crowning achievement of FPSs this generation. It was no 2007, but it was great all the same.charizard1605

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I haven't seen any bad press lately, even from individual reviewers who received early copies. From the Now Playing, it looks like Kevin loved the game, and he said he had no complaints really for the game.

No poll love for ME3?HaloPimp978

I tried to convince System Wars that the game really is amazing, but they all kept on hatin'. There's a higher chance of there being a 2012 apocalypse than ME3 getting GOTY here, especially from the community.

I have a strong feeling that Absolution is going to end up as my favorite this year. It's got some pretty frustrating flaws like the AI being ridiculously unpredictable at times (and not in a good way) but I haven't had this much fun sneaking around and killing mofos in years. Actually that's a lie because the stealth in Arkham City was a ton of fun, but not as challenging or rewarding.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] My GOTY is probably... f*, I dunno. They were all bad.DarkLink77

Pfft, now you're just trying too hard. 2011 was one of the best.

Mass Effect 3 would be my choice.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] I was having this conversation with khoof. He was insistent that I pick something or the other for GotY. I was like, I flat out cannot. The 'best' game this year gets the dubious honor of being the shiniest of all turds, but there is no game I would nominate for GotY, outside of maybe Kid Icarus. I mean, there were lots of great games, like I said above. Lots of them. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing, that I would nominate for GotY, outside of Uprising. Ah well, next year has God of War and Grand Theft Auto, so it's already off to a better start than this year.Master_ShakeXXX

Really? I found that ME3 improved what ME2 was trying to do (in a good way), but managed to incorporate some more RPG mechanics in there. It was a good compromise between ME2 and ME1 IMO. I think that Mass Effect was 1 generation too early though. They had a great vision of how the series should be, but there are lots of framerate problems with the games, and all of the Mass Effect games were a little awkward on consoles (in terms of animation and voice acting). The whole experience just didn't feel very fluid. They might've just ended up facing the same problems next gen as they did this gen, but at least they would've been able to add in a lot more detail into the game.

Why is Mass Effect 3 not on the poll?RulerofGondor

[QUOTE="XVision84"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Mass Effect 3 is a good game, but it's the weakest in the series: it sacrifices the great RPG gameplay of the first game, and the incredible storytelling of the second game, to create a mishmash, a weird amalgamation that feels like a betrayal to both sides. And that's without even considering that goddamned ending.charizard1605

Well, either way we both agree that it was a good game, and it certainly didn't deserve all the hate directed at it. Bioware did good pulling off that story, sure they hit some bumps along the way but it turned out a heck of a lot better than Assassin's Creed did IMO. And it was much more consistent than Uncharted, that's for sure. I just want next gen to start already so we can start churning those gears of creativity again. We need new multiplatform IP's!

Mass Effect 3, no contest.

Max Payne 3

new super mario bros zombie u 007 legends and marioparty 9 should be good contenders for their genre as for goty over all - nsmb

Not one on your poll would I even consider a GOTY candidate for 2012 except perhaps Borderlands 2, TC. I'd say it falls between Halo 4, Dishonored, AC3 and Borderlands 2. Perhaps even Mass Effect 3 if critics aren't so whacked out by the controversial ending.

My GOTY contenders would have to be WoW Mists of Pandaria, Mass Effect 3, Halo 4, and Dishonored. Dishonored or Halo 4 are probably the most worthy of the GOTY title though.

Are you joking?:lol:

007 legends has a better chance to win worst game of the year(if it still exists) then GOTY and mario party 9 has no chance at winning GOTY.

GS GOTY will probably Halo 4. Mine is Max Payne 3. Fizzman

I have a feeling it's going to be dishonoured or max payne 3.A dark horse winner on GS would be something like xcom, sonic and all star racing transformed any vita game like LBP Vita etc.

I wonder why there is only garbage in the poll

RPG GOTY - Witcher 2 or Artorias

SHooter GOTY - Halo 4

Racer GOTY - Forza Horizon

Fairy Tale RPG GOTY - Fable JOurney

Because this thread is asking about good games.

Then why are these games in the poll ?

So let me get this straight, instead of putting Max Payne 3, AC3, HALO 4....you went ahead and put crappy games in your poll? silent hill? really? never heard it. Thats how crappy the game is.

AC3 for GOTY. Max Payne 3 for close second.

Omega-316

AC3? Never heard of it. I guess that means it's crap.

The absense of Assassin's Creed 3 and Mass Effect 3 (and DON'T b*tch about the ending) in the poll is disappointing. You have failed this forum... for the last time!!

*opens trap door leading to shark tank beneath Shake's feet*

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA :twisted:

I'd give it to Tales of Graces f. There's no contest in my mind.

Persona 4 Arena comes in second.

Sleepy Dogs gettin no recognition.FIipMode

It's between Borderlands 2 or The Walking Dead.

I'm playing through ME3 again, and if it wins GOTY I'm giving up on gamers.

Bleh, those franchises are played out. I went for games that are paving the way for the future.
