Game of the year 2011: RPGCodex Top 3

[Crooked Bee]

RPGs? Duh. Who cares about them? The genre is barely alive anyway. We all know Jaesun is running the Top 10 RPGs of 2011 poll in General RPG Discussion, and it's all cool, but it has some restrictions, like being all about RPGs in the first place, and on PC to boot. Let's rather see what 2011 games the Codex have enjoyed regardless of the genre and/or the platform.

Vote for up to 3 games released in 2011 on any platform. The idea is to decide on one Codex GOTY and two runner-ups.

**************************************************************************
THE RULES:

DO NOT PUT NUMBERS BEFORE THE NAME OF A GAME. IF YOU DO I WILL NOT COUNT YOUR VOTE. PERIOD. Just list 3 or fewer games. What ever you want in any order you want. Order does not matter.

USE THE EDIT BUTTON IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE. If you have multiple posts with games, I will not count any of your votes.

ANY PLATFORM IS OKAY. REMAKES COUNT. "GOLD"/"GOTY" EDITIONS COUNT. MMOs COUNT. ANYTHING THAT IS A VIDEO GAME PUBLISHED IN 2011 COUNTS.

IF A GAME WAS RELEASED IN ONE COUNTRY AND THEN IN THE US WITHIN THE YEARS STATED ABOVE YOU CAN LIST THEM AS YOUR VOTE. For Example Drakensang: The River of time was internationally released on in 2011.

IF YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES ALL OF THE GAMES YOU VOTE FOR WILL BE IGNORED.

I will be collecting your votes until January 15th, 2012 when this poll will close. I will then tally the results in a different topic.

****************************************************************************

Yeah, I stole Jaesun's rules for this voting to be similar to the one in GRPGD.

My own list:
Chantelise
Dark Souls
E.Y.E.

 

[Satan]

It's November, not January. Postpone voting.

 

[Crooked Bee]

There's the edit button for that; if a game you enjoy comes out in December, you can always edit it in. Too complex, I know.

But whatever, if there isn't enough interest in a poll like this, this thread will just die or be retardo'ed.

Cheers.

(up to) top 10 lists feel pretty pointless these days where you have 1-3 truly "...of the year" contenders at most. arent ppl simply listing any game they remotely enjoyed ? i could probably piece 10 together of that but then it d include stuff like space marine or DOW2: Retribution which i merely like because they are 40k and not particullary good games.

just saying, i d recommend something like (RP)GOTY / Runner Up and leave it at that. maybe TOP3 at most.

anywhay, in case you keep to the top 10 here s mine

Dark Souls
...

edit: another 2:

Lego Star Wars III
Little Big Planet 2

no, i m not kidding, these are family/kids games but as that they are truly great whereas everything else other than Dark Souls released in 2011 was at best good , most of the time merely mediocre though.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Changed it to Top 3, 'cause yeah, that really makes more sense.

[Merkwürdigliebe]

I think I have played exactly one game that has been released this year, nothing new simple appeals to me so here it goes my complete top list.


Achtung Panzer: Operation Star
...
...



Since the English translation/western release was this month I guess that counts as a 2011 game under those rules.

 

[Palikka]

Dark Souls

 

[made]

Oh hell yeah

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - GOTY all years, all categories

 

[Excidium]

The Witcher 2
Saints Row 3
Batman Arkham City

 

[20 Eyes]

Dark Souls
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
[space reserved]

I'm waiting on Arkham City's PC port before I settle on a third.

 

[Lgrayman]

Portal 2
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Star Wars: The Old Republic

SWTOR hasn't been released yet but, having played the beta I know it will be in my top 3. Was quite silly to post this in November. Yes people can edit their posts but will they really be bothered to do so in a months time?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Portal 2
Skyrim
Deus Ex Human Revolution

 

[MetalCraze]

Wow
95% of people ITT are nothing but tasteless consoletards they make fun of

Not a single good game, let alone good PC game

 

[Crooked Bee]

Enlighten us, then, Skyway. What are the good 2011 games in your opinion? Seriously, why do you care if other people have shitty taste? Just vote for the games you consider better and incline the thread.

Just following in Jaesun's footsteps here. I'm a bit too late, though, should've posted it in October, but oh well. And if you don't feel like voting now, don't. I'll bump this at the end of December for people to vote or edit their votes anyway.

 

[Jaesun]

Keep your shit out of here Skyway. If you have a legitimate concern then post it (or send Ms. Bee a PM). Otherwise shut the fuck up.

So give us your top 3 games Skyway, so we can be enlightened.

:Buddha:

 

[MaskedMan]

Gray Matter.

Will edit in other 2 once i have time to get a good look at some of the other stuff released this year.
