RpgCodex Game of the Year 2012

[Kattze]

CK2
Grimrock

 

[Silva]

Crusader Kings 2
Dark Souls
FTL

 

[ChristofferC]

Dark Souls, I guess...

Didn't play much else.

 

[Kukulkan]

Crusader Kings 2 and XCOM.

 

[Gragt]

Let me play them all first and I'll give you my objective opinion.

 

[Xor]

I think FTL was the only game I played this year that I enjoyed enough to vote for.

 

[Metro]

Also, Dark Souls is technically 2011~

 

[Dexter]

Dark Souls: PtD (yes it counts, PC version came out this year and had additional areas & shit)
Spec Ops: The Line
The Walking Dead
Dishonored
Tribes: Ascend
X-Com: Enemy Unknown
Waking Mars
Torchlight II
Legend of Grimrock

 

[Metro]

 

[ManjuShri]

Hotline Miami.
Walking Dead.

How the fuck is a demo the 'Game of the Year?'

Seeing how I did not enjoy Crusader Kings II and have yet to play Under Rail, the Age of Decadence public beta, incomplete a version of the game as it is, is in fact the only new title I actually enjoyed playing in all of 2012. Seeing how I have spent countless hours trying out all the character types, experimenting with combat and whatnot, I would definitely say it qualifies.

Horrible year for games. And :facepalm: at most of the choices. FTL LOL. Torchlight 2 LOL.

Can you get an abstain choice vote?

 

[Wilian]

Crusader Kings 2. I don't see how there could be other competition for it. Maybe Walking Dead could get onto it if it was more of a game than CYOA.

 

[mindx2]

Legend of Grimrock
U6P

Weak year overall with few gems. Most gaming excitement came from the promises of Kickstater.

 

[Silva]

DE: HR is from 2011. (otherwise it would be on my list too )

Also, anobody else had this weird sensation that XCOM was an awesome game until you finish it, and then you think its crap and you wont touch it ever again ?

Still not finished to see what you mean .

Yeah, your right. Just an overall weak year and I didn't finish it until 2012.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

1. Eador
2. Crusader Kings 2
3... uh, there were other games released in 2012?

Except it hasn't been released so it doesn't. Never mind the fact that once we see the full version it could be rife with issues we don't even know about.

 

[SoupNazi]

dishonored
sleeping dogs
ftl
can't judge on dark souls yet, I guess

edit: almost forgot far cry 3, which, while I can't objectively call it the best game, gave me the most enjoyment and I spent the most time on it.

 

[malko_sundervere]

Uh... Because everyone else says it counts, Dark Souls.
And Legend of Grimrock.
And FTL.
These are the only games released in 2012 that I thought were any good. 2012 was one shit year.

Well, again, I played and enjoyed the public beta far more than any finished games released in 2012, hence the vote. As for the final version, certainly, it will contain bugs and issues, though I very much doubt that the team would fail to address them.
