What is your GOTY so far?

[Gearhead mk2]

Spec Ops. I'm sorry, no matter what else comes out this year, the GOTY award should go to Spec Ops.

 

[Brotha Desmond]

I bought a couple games this year, but the only one that was actually released this year was Mass effect 3. So I guess that one wins by default. If I was to guess though, I'd say by December Assassin's creed III will be my GoTY.

 

[dimensional]

Going to have to go with The Last Story as it was pure brilliance not as good as Xenoblade Chronicles but that was last year here so it doesnt count, Journey was also amazing but not as good imo. If Persona 4 Arena gets released here this year it may become GOTY for me but odds are we wont see it until February or some stupid date.

For big, AAA games it's a tough call between Dishonoured and Spec Ops for me. Mass Effect 3 is third, but by a distance.

For smaller stuff, it's Journey or Toyko Jungle. They're both pretty special in their own way.

 

[SirPlindington]

Dishonored. I love that game. It's just so satisfying to strike them down one by one sneak past without ever doing harm to anyone. Ever.

EDIT: And Journey! How could I forget Journey? It's one of my top five favorite games ever, so I have to mention it here. Silly me.

 

[ThePuzzldPirate]

My vote goes to either X-Com or Borderlands 2. X-com came out of know where and surprised me while Borderlands 2 took the first and built upon it giving us an actual sequel.

I would love to give it to Dishonored but I found myself rushing to beat it all the way from Boyle Mansion and have no interest in playing it again.

 

[Mikeyfell]

As of right now my top 5 is

5 Dust: An Elysian Tail
4 Minecraft 360
3 Lollipop Chainsaw
2 Borderlands 2
1 The Walking Dead

I haven't played
Record of Agarest War 2(I have to buy a PS3 for this so it damn well better be game of the year), Spec Ops the Line, Xcom Enemy Unknown or Dishonored yet

Final prediction after everything is released and played
5 Spec Ops
4 Borderlands 2
3 XCom
2 Agarest 2
1 Walking Dead
But that's just speculation.

Worst games so far
Resident Evil 6
Amy
Mass Effect 3
All 3 had me weeping tears of blood by 5 minutes and cutting my self by 6 minutes in.

 

[sabercrusader]

Either The Walking Dead, or Mass Effect 3 so far. But with Assassin's Creed and Halo literally just around the corner, it can change.

 

[Zannah]

Dishonored, with not even a little competition.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Borderlands 2 because Dishonored was meh.

I'm sure the title of GoTY will be taken by Persona 4 Golden once that comes out, though.

 

[JackandTom]

Probably Borderlands 2 or Max Payne 3 for me. I love both of these games, but Borderlands probably wins as it had split-screen, a lost art in most most games nowadays. I was also very tempted to say The Walking Dead Game, which at the moment would win my GOTY but I'll wait until Episode 5 is out before I say anything.

 

[ABLb0y]

In no particular order:

Spec Ops: The Line
Borderlands 2
Dishonored
The Walking Dead
Binary Domain
Sleeping Dogs

Those are some of my nominees.

My worst games:

AMY: Had a lot of potential but just ruined it.
Anna: Made me feel physically sick (And not in the nice 'Spec ops: The Line' way). Mostly because of its stupid artistic pretensions, 90s era graphics, insane puzzles and the fact you have to create an account with their developer to play it. I mean, really, are their egos that large?
Resident Evil 6: The game reminds me of a Michael Bay film: All colour and flash and big guns without any respite or substance. To paraphrase Yahtzee, that all becomes boring when not juxtaposed against the occasional quiet moment.

 

[an874]

For me it's gotta' be Spec Ops: The Line, one of the best narratives I've seen in a game.

 

[namhorFnodroG]

Well, I don't actually know what game I'm gonna pick. The selection of games this year have been somewhat limited, and pretty much no games this year have actually blown me off my chair. Most of them have been pretty decent, nothing more than that. But if I have to pick a game, (That was actually made THIS year, no HD, ports and so on) my vote will go to Shootmania Storm. It's the only game this year that I've played more than about 50+ hours.

 

[kasperbbs]

Mass effect 3. Dishonored shares the 2nd place with Spec ops.

 

[Xathos]

Damn, so many Spec Ops: The Line from a lot of people. I should really get it.

I've only played a couple of games this year.

Mass Effect 3
Darksiders II
Persona 4 Arena
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
The Walking Dead
Resident Evil 6

And out of all of those, Mass Effect 3 and the Walking Dead are the best. Assassin's Creed 3 is in a couple of days though, so who knows. Still playing Resident Evil 6 though.

 

[Xanadu84]

Probably Spec Ops. If anything because I want to live in a world where Spec Ops gets a GotY nod. Talk about having balls of steel.

 

[Coldster]

I don't really know yet; I haven't played Dishourned, and that looks really good. So my answer at the moment would be Mass Effect 3. Its got a great story, good gameplay, excellent writing, and a fun multiplayer too.

Looking forward to Halo 4, however I seriously doubt it will be good enough to my me consider it GOTY.

 

[purf]

I can't really answer this question, as I have not tried Dishonoured.
Specs Ops: The Line. Actually, I don't buy into a couple of things being said about this game and I am going to say that it's not that good. It just shines the light of thousand suns in comparison to your usual - whatstheterm? - bro-shooter.

I will answer the hypothetical question for BestBuyOfTheYear and this has to be Guild Wars 2.

 

[lacktheknack]

FTL: Faster Than Light. Mostly because it's been a baaaaaaad year for money, so I haven't tried lots of games I want to try.
