What is your GOTY so far?

[Catfood220]

I haven't really brought that any games that came out this year, my choices would probably be between Mass Effect 3 which I thought was really good and I liked the ending too.

Tales of Graces f which is good despite it not being the best Tales game I've played.

Spec Ops: The Line which was just one of the most engrossing games I've played this year.

And Dishonored which I've been have having a lot of fun with.

Honourable mention to Journey, which I enjoyed but have played once and not played since. And probably XCOM: Enemy Unknown which I haven't gotten around to playing yet, but might be up there with the rest. I don't know what order this lot will be in by the end of the year though.

Dragonball Z Kinect. I mean, it's Dragonball Z... With Kinect.

 

[ChadSexington]

BROderlands 2, no question. I'm loving this game so much.

 

[Ultress]

Seeing how I've played two new releases this year I'll go with Kingdom hearts 3D(the other game being P4 Arena,which was great too). The game seems to be channeling SMT:Nocturne in some aspects with fusing your enemies and the dropping mechanics. The actual combat is probably some of the best in the series,flowmotion combat while a bit frivolous is still tons of fun. The story does bring in time travel but handles it well enough and has got me exited for I assume KH3.

 

[Treblaine]

Brutal Doom.


Says everything

But in more current games I'm honestly lagging behind, my favourite recent game I played this year was Saints Row The Third. That is just the perfect crime-caper city sandbox game, it knew how to have fun unlike the pretentious crap of GTA4.

I still haven't played Max Payne 3 yet, that may be a top game for me.

 

[TelHybrid]

Black MESA. Been psyched for it for ages and it was worth the wait.

 

[renegade7]

I would have to say FTL for the best game released this year.

As for the best game I played this year, Dwarf Fortress.

In any case, both will annihilate your free afternoons and weekends.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Hmm there a few that have been released recently that I haven't played yet such as Dishonoured and XCOM so I feel kind of unfair calling that.

Borderlands 2 is definitely my multiplayer of the year.

 

[Mirroga]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I just love the tactical application and management in games.

Faster than Light also gets special mentions for GOTY for me.

 

[Legion]

Dishonored my favourite game released this year that I have played. I wouldn't say it's my favourite game that I have actually played this year though.

That said the only other new games I have bought this year have been, Transformers FOC, Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3 was pretty bad, Transformers pretty average, and Borderlands 2 was pretty fun, but it's pretty much Borderlands 1 whereas Dishonored at least stands out on it's own.

 

[necromanzer52]

I don't think I've played a 2012 game yet. I intend to play spec ops, and assassins creed 3 at some point, but probably not for a while.

Now the best game I played this year is metal solid 3. Yeah, I spend most of my gaming time, catching up on games I missed.

 

[blackdwarf]

I would say Dark Souls, but I played the console version which came out last year, so technically it can't be my GotY, but love the DLC though.

I think it will be The Walking Dead, because that will be a game I will remember a long time.

This year really has been disappointing and dull for gaming.

 

[Zakarath]

Guild Wars 2, and though DayZ isn't really a contender due to its bugginess, it should definitely get some form of recognition

 

[mirage202]

I'm a little unsure as yet. XCOM? FTL? Sleeping Dogs? Honestly can't pick one.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Dishonored

I would add a little more content to that post, if I were you. Mods will come swooping in with warnings for low content posts.

OT: It's a tough choice for me. So many good games had come out. Right now it's a toss up for me between Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Dragon's Dogma, Dishonored and Tales of Graces f.

 

[putowtin]

Mass Effect 3

1: I love it
2: Only game that came out this year that I've bought this year!

(Getting ACIII next week but I don't think it'll knock ME3 off the top spot!)

 

[Timmey]

Gona go with Mist of Pandaria really good expansion and probably the game I've enjoyed most this year

 

[woodsymoments]

Borderlands 2 or ME3 for me but when Halo 4 comes out it'llprobably be that unless its a massive flop.

 

[Theminimanx]

Mark of the Ninja. But I haven't played any of this years' AAA releases aside from Mass Effect, so it could easily end up changing into Spec Ops or Dishonored when I get to buy them during the steam sales.

 

[ShinyCharizard]

Hmmm, there are a few I could pick, all of them for different reasons:

Spec Ops: The Line: I don't recall being so engaged to a game that I wasn't having fun at.

Max Payne 3: I think it's the sequel it deserved, not the one most people wanted. I personally enjoyed it a lot. And the story while not entirely deep or meaningful, it's a good noir story, that had to face the challenge of being mostly on daylight.

Lollipop Chainsaw: Probably no one will agree this game is GOTY material, but I had fun, I replayed it a lot, and the return of the score system in single player was more than welcome to me.

Whatever is left to be released, I don't have any hope it'll be better for me to those I mentioned.

Peace out!
