GAME OF THE YEAR AWARDS
Souls Wiki Forums 2012 EDITION
The ideal procedure is the following:
- You vote your GOTY choice, or vote "Other" and post your GOTY choice if you don't see your GOTY in the poll.
- You briefly say why it deserves to be GOTY
- (Optional but will enrich this thread) Do a brief "special mentions" list of games that are NOT among the Nominees but are still games that none should miss. Only games released in 2012.
I vote for Hotline Miami, the most innovative game of year along with Journey, and Fez. It's an independent 2D isometric almost-rogue-like shooter game. Instead of describing it, I encourage anyone to look it up in YouTube.
Now, I played some of the other nominees way longer than Hotline Miami (like Diablo 3, I played it a lot, I have like 100 hours), but still, I feel that the GOTY should be a game that's not only fun, but that also pushes the boundaries in games, and that feels fresh and new, how long it keeps you playing is almost irrelevant.
Special Mentions of games you shouldn't miss:
- Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (PC)
- Lone Survivor (PC)
- Dragon's Dogma (PS3 and Xbox 360)
- Legend of Grimrock (PC)
