Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Soul of the mind, key to life's ether
Soul of the lost, withdrawn from its vessel
May strength be granted so the world might be mended...
So the world might be mended...

There were some damn good arcade/psn games this year.

OT: Out of those? Dishonored or BL2...

Spec Ops: The Line.
But that was barely good at best.
gameplay wise? yes, it was mediocre
story and character development? no, it was amazing

I'm your biggest fan!

2012 sucks. Far Cry 3 was the best.

  • 12.23.2012 10:29 AM PDT

Far Cry 3!

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

But it wasn't, it was just good. The bar is just so low for video games in story and characters that when something comes along that puts any amount of effort in like Spec Ops it seems amazing by comparison.

The gameplay factors into the illusion of it being just another generic shooter game. But it could've been better.

I like that list and all (not my top 10), but Diablo 3? Really?

I think it's right around there. No higher for sure and I wouldn't have any qualms about it being lower on the list. I flip flop on where it should be ranked so maybe I am being too easy on it. I do think it's a great game that, because it's not as good as Diablo II, is disregarded too quickly. It's by no means GOTY and the games I listed above it are without doubt better.

lol at ANYONE thinking Halo 4 is GOTY. XD

  • 12.23.2012 9:21 PM PDT

Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

Ok, I am going to list why I thought these didn't make my GOTY and do my best to avoid spoils.

AC3- It was an all around fun game, amazing multiplayer, but the ending really upset me. So much in fact that it lost its chance as my GOTY.

B2- Was fun while it lasted, but it didn't have anything to keep my interested and anchored, especially compared to the barage of games that came right after.

Blops 2- It was ok, as usual I blow at multiplayer, but it was still enjoyable. Alright story line and even had my fav band make a cameo, but it still felt like more of the same Cod. It is hard to make that line between innovation and copy paste when it comes to sequel, and unfortunately blops didn't hit it.

Dishonored- fun game, even reminded me of bioshock a bit. My issue is though that I ruined the game for myself by making my first playthrough the nonviolent one. It takes the joy out whenever your first time you don't kill a soul.

Halo 4- Fun game that is a part of my favorite gaming franchise, but it has some issues as well. The gametypes have recceeded since reach and that makes it feel more limited in what it can do. MM playlists are constantly updated, but some of my preferred gametypes may or may not be there whenever these updates hit. Ie, snipers was only in for a week when it first showed up. Also the game was centered around catering to fans who read or watched the halo lore outside the games, rather than people who only play the games. It don't matter how long you played halo games for, if you didn't read the books you would have no idea who or what the didact was beyond being a forerunner.

ME3- I haven't had the pleasure of playing it, though I have heard great things and will at some point in the future. However, I have heard about the ending and looked into it. Didn't seem like a good choice, especially since a better ending was made as a dlc due to popular demand.

Far Cry 3- Ok, this game is fun. I enjoyed the theme very much. Let's be real on this though, had it not been for Vaas and the insanity touch, the game would not be nearly as fun. Vaas is your bridge to the insanity as it slowly envelops you. He is one of the most memorable characters I think I've ever seen in a game. Without him, I honestly feel this game would have felt a little more generic. Like I said though, great game, but because of this it falls short as well.

CS- Have not played nor heard details, thus I can't see labeling it as my GOTY.


In the end, mine goes to (drumroll) X-Com: Enemy Unknown. Yes you heard me, X-Com. I found this game very enjoyable. Lost of fun all around and very challenging if you aren't on your toes. Wasn't the longest of games, and it didn't provide as many memorable moments as AC3 or H4 did for me, but something just draws me in to say it wins my GOTY this time around.

Life is just a dream.

Well, considering every other game on this list is a sequel with comparatively weak writing, why is this an argument? Also,
Spec Ops (and the Walking Dead) had much better writing than "just good enough". It's fair to expect more from game writing, but at the same time the "good enough for gaming, literature and film are still way better" arguement just says that video games shouldn't even try.

The walking dead was the most linear piece of -blam!- I don't even understand how it won GOTY.

We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other.

The fact that Halo 4 is winning just shows the massive amount of childish fanboyism here. Its hilarious.

This.
Not much else compares to it, IMO.
