toxicitizen Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I hate having to pick just one, so I'm going to cheat and pick two. One for big full-priced AAA releases and another for smaller downloadable/indie stuff. For the AAA, XCOM: Enemy Unknown by a country mile. There were a lot of great games that came out this year. Even the ones that got shit on a lot, I really loved. (hint: they both have a 3 in their title and neither are called Mass Effect). But none of them grabbed me quite like XCOM. In about 3 weeks, it shot right to second place in my most played games on Steam, a mere 10 hours behind the time vampire that is Civilization V. The only reason I haven't played it the past two months is because I just can't afford to have all my time disappear into oblivion right now. For the smaller ones: Mark of the Ninja. Holy crap, that game blew my goddamned mind so much. It's basically a perfect stealth game. It reminded me of the old Splinter Cell games, in all the right ways. It's pretty much the reason I'm picking two GOTYs. XCOM is undeniable but I feel Mark of the Ninja is just as deserving of the title. Honorable mentions: Dishonored, Max Payne 3, Diablo III and Hotline Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Dishonored, don't have time right now for a write-up, but will probably edit this later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Even though I put down Pokémon Conquest as my nomination, there's no chance in hell I'm not voting for XCOM. I haven't come remotely near to finishing it at all yet, but it's just outstanding. Rounding out my top 5, in descending order, would be Hotline Miami, Pokémon Conquest (natch), FTL, and either SSX or Rock Band Blitz. I'm undecided who takes 5th from those two.

Mister Jack Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I don't know if I can pick just one but off the top of my head these would be my nominees: Guild Wars 2 XCOM: Enemy Unknown Persona 4: The Golden Far Cry 3 The Walking Dead Borderlands 2 Bear in mind I have yet to play Dishonored so that automatically disqualifies it from my list.

deanb Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 http://pressxordie.com/2013/01/05/game-of-the-year-2012/ We're not doing a GOTY next year, I've decided. We'll do the individual pieces and that'll be it. anyway, tl;dr: Dishonoured and Mass Effect 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sounds like a good idea. Could do individual top threes or whatever then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
