I haven't played Arkham City yet, so my vote is for Deus Ex based on the list.

spent the most time with frozen synapse out of the titles released this year, but I haven't had much access to a pc with windows, so I'll abstain from voting.

Very good year for me.

I enjoyed alot of stuff. ALOT. Probably the strongest year for me game wise I can remember in a long time. If I was to make a list it would include easily 10 games.

My favorite games of the year were Dead Space 2, Skyrim, and LA Noire. LA Noire and Dead Space 2 stuck with me all year. And Skyrim is kinda blowing me away right now.

Still relatively early in Skyrim but its probably going to be my goty among what I played.

You're missing Skyward Sword & Catherine.

Too early to tell about the former, latter might be my pick since Xenoblade was last year.

It's hard. I'm having so much fun with Saints Row 3, almost as much as I have been with Skyrim.

Can you add Skyrow as an option?

Top three games this year for me:

1. Saints Row 3
2. Skyrim
3. Portal 2

No, I was talking about the folks suggesting Catherine and Xenoblade and Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky (

) as worthy of inclusion on a GOTY poll. Skyrim's not my thing but I have no beef with those who love it. It's an Actual Game.

Third · « **Reply #31 on:** November 16, 2011, 02:48:14 PM »

My top best 2011 games:

1. Xenoblade
2. Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
3. Dead Space 2
4. Uncharted 3
5. Batman Arkham Asylum

93868. Saint's Row 3. I really can't get into Saint's Row. I really hated the first two games.

I dunno, I'm 20 hours in Trails of Sky and I'm still waiting for it to get "great".

It's alright, but extremely slow, easy, and full of generic animu stuff (just got done watching the SCHOOL ARC where you sit and watch 30 mins of text while they get ready to perform a high school play :'( )

I hear it picks up at the end, but I can't imagine it as a GoTY contender. Seems 7-8/10ish.

Dude. The game PULLED me away from Skyrim.

In any case, for any non-believers I recently did a survival mission in SR3. Survival missions are ones where you receive a phone call and you're ordered to kill waves upon waves of henchmen. In this case, it was wave after wave of furries at the costume clothes shop. Why? Because "that's how they get more of their kind!"

Amazing.

Robo · « **Reply #44 on:** November 16, 2011, 03:11:10 PM »

I could almost support a Dark Souls nom. It may be valid to write off some of its internal faults as intentional to make the game artificially more obtuse and, as a result, more difficult --balance issues aside, since they tend to benefit the player too much rather than hinder him-- but I don't think the jank is forgivable, the framerate in particular. I think it's a lot of fun for the most part, I like the art, I like how intense and creepy it is, and I think its interesting what it says about game design from a meta-perspective, but it's strictly Bollywood gaming.

i considered adding dark souls, but the uneven pacing, the framerate in blighttown, and the -- as you put it -- obtuse old-school approach to problem-solving keeps it from the top tier. i'm not gonna reward the nostalgia of idiots for honestly SUCKY old world pc and nes gaming tropes. still, great game, and awesome ambience/artwork.
