Borderlands 2, Dishonored or Far Cry 3.

In terms of Multiplayer/Replayability: Halo 4.

I can't wait until I get Far Cry 3. The more I look into it the better it looks. Halo 4 right now is my GotY. Assassin's Creed 3 was kind of a disappointment. I'm about halfway through and have no real drive to play it anymore.

I'd have to go with Halo 4, but only because the Chief is back. The campaign was fun but the multiplayer and (especially) Splops leave a lot to be desired.

Halo 3. Also, there was a thread just like this last night. Let me find it for you.

Stuff it. The Walking Dead game was a ton better than Halo 4 imo. Definitely more emotional.

The only issue I have with people saying The Walking Dead is GoTY is it really isn't a game.

OT: Really nothing that comes to mind since this year sucked for games for the most part. Hell most of the games I bought were old games.

The human element always mucks things up.

The only game I bought this year was Dishonored and it's good but not goty material.

Fair play

Either Halo 4 or Black ops 2. I can't really decide.

How is it not? Point and clicks are slow moving, yes, but that doesn't stop it from being a game.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

I haven't played Far Cry 3 yet, but so far Borderlands 2.

Only legitimate game I had fun with.

It is a very basic and linear game. The only thing that is different is the story. Even then I wouldn't say that would be good enough for GoTY material. As for why I say it really isn't a game is how you really don't do much other than look around a bit and choose some text along with the occasional button mash sequences. The gameplay is severely lacking while the story isn't. Without much gameplay and mainly dialogue options I don't consider it much of a game.

It will probably be FarCry 3, but until I can get that, Max Paine 3 and Black Ops 2 are the only games I've consistently been immersed and had fun in.

I think it has a chance of winning in a XBLA type award. Your other argument is also basically just a description of point and click RPG's. The Walking Dead game is very similar to classics like Monkey Island.

Halo 4 for console and I guess Kid Icarus: Uprising for handheld.

I started the year thinking that Mass Effect 3 would be my GOTY though.

I don't doubt that it has a high chance of winning some other awards, but GoTY is extremely unlikely imo due to it lacking a lot of qualities most modern games have.

Actually I would vote for Walking Dead.
