Persona 4: The Golden. This is the first second third time I've bought a game I already own, and Persona 4 deserves GOTY every year because that's just how awesome it is. P4G somehow made an already perfect game much better. In my opinion, P4G and P3P are pretty much equal in terms of new content, with P4G adding a new city, new dungeon, new personae, and several new events. Seriously, look at this opening. Tell me you don't want the game because of it.

Biasly, Game of the Year for me would be any and all Silent Hill games that came out this year. Unbiasly, it would definatly be The Walking Dead.

I would have to say Resident Evil 6. I loved that game. However, before this year is up, I shall be getting The Walking Dead, and I am positive that it will replace RE6 as my GOTY.
The runner ups are Silent Hill Downpour, Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City.

Through that door, is a seperate reality.
Really ORC? Its a freat game don't get me wrong, but I didn't think it was GOTY material.

I haven't played nearly enough games that came out in 2012 to have an opinion. Of the 2012 games that I'd think would be in the running.......
I will say that Black Ops 2, just like every other Call of Duty, was like every other Call of Duty. These games should never win another award... partly because they're all the same but also because I want to see all the CoD fans cry. In any case, I could never give GOTY to a game that's just a copy of a copy of a copy of a game that won GOTY in 2007. When you think about it, CoD is as shamelessly mass-produced as Madden.
Let's all take a moment and lol at the idea of a Madden game winning GOTY.
I haven't played Halo 4 extensively yet, so don't know.
Mass Effect 3 was excellent but I needed money so I had to sell it before I could finish it. Anyway, I heard a lot of people were royally peeved at the ending which makes me reserve judgement even more.
SSX was awesome but it lacked a multiplayer which made it feel like half of a game... especially considering that every other SSX game ever made ever had a multiplayer. Kind of inexcusable when you think about it...
Assassins Creed never really held any gravy with me, so AC3 doesn't feel GOTYish.
AHH **** IT LETS JUST SAY SKYRIM WINS AND CALL IT A DAY

I'll just get right to the ass kicking!
My GOTY:
Some Nights
No Shape
My top 3:
The Walking Dead
Persona 4 Golden
Silent Hill: Downpour or Final Fantasy XIII-2
This was a really bad year for gaming outside of these games for me.

I hate to say this because I'm starting to sound like a broken record because of how many times I've repeated it, but I'll say it again. It's his (Flipqy42's) opinion. If he says that it is one of his favorite games of this year, you don't second guess it (You don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever second guess someone's opinion.), instead you let it be. If I say that I hate the best game that was ever made (Which by the way there will never be one), you don't try and say "Bull****, you gotta love the game because everyone else likes it and it's the best game ever made". If I love the worst game of all time (Which again, there will never be one) then you don't say "You gotta be freaking kidding, that game sucks and you're a disgrace to humanity for liking it." (Of course you never did say those because those are just examples). You don't try and make someone change their opinion. If you can't agree with someone else's opinion, that's your problem.

Dude calm down! I was just asking the guy a question.

Partly because it's 1:42 am and I'm tired but also because I have nothing better to do than listen to old Blink 182 albums while my computer finishes scanning, I'm going to entertain this with a reply.
If no one ever responded to another person's opinion, there would be no such thing as a discussion.
Why do I say Zelda is #1? Let's take a step back and look at the N64. The first generation of 3D rendered gaming. Not MarioKart64 which was just 2-dimensional objects arranged in a 3-dimensional environment. Zelda was the first game to give you a vast 3D world to explore on a scale that had never been fathomed by anyone before. It did so many things right that every 3D game that followed has elements that can be traced back to it. A lock-on system, intuitive use of jumping, how to make a camera that wasn't disorienting, all of these things have been echoed in games all the way up to the Xbox 360. Now, maybe you disagree with my decision in placing Zelda in the #1 slot, but you can't deny my REASONING. My reasoning has nothing to do with my own personal experience with the game (awesome as it was).
With all due respect...

In a way, you're right. It's impossible for one game to be objectively better than another because it is subjective how good a game is. However, popularity can be used to determine quality. Large numbers of people will praise one particular game over another, and that is as close to objectively establishing quality as we will ever get. Therefore, I submit to you that Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best game ever made. I also submit that the best band is The Beatles. You can disagree with me, but I have the vast majority on my side in both cases.
Now hold on. I think you're confusing "favorite" with "best." My favorite game is Halo: Combat Evolved, but I wouldn't ever try to argue that it's better than Zelda: OoT. You can waltz around all willy-nilly saying your favorite game is whatever you damn please. When you say something is the best ever, you're trying to go beyond your personal quips and declare the one that is superior to all others no matter who is concerned.

This argument is 100% flawed.Partly because it's 1:42 am and I'm tired but also because I have nothing better to do than listen to old Blink 182 albums while my computer finishes scanning, I'm going to entertain this with a reply.

First part is flawed because discussions will still be around because discussions are started by talking, not second guessions. I have discussions with my friends a lot and most of the time it is not about our opinions. Your argument is: INVALID.
Second part is rendered 100% invalid. Being hyprocritical is always going to render your point 100% invalid. By saying that there is no game that can be the best, which you agreed to, then going off to say that there is a game considered the best and saying is objective is hypocritical. Your argument is also invalid for not having any proof that majority of people said that. Your argument is: INVALID
Third part, when did I ever bring up best and favorite during that statement? You just choose that for no reason, you're jumping to conclusions based on assumption, not to mention the entire last part of it was irreveleant. Your argument is: INVALID.
The last part, that's insultive. Your argument is: INVALID.
Your whole argument was invalid, hypocritical, not to mention you used insults.

I liked the part where Your argument is: INVALID.

AgentZero hardly warranted the response you provided here. He wasn't being particularly unkind nor was he even challenging Flipqy for his opinion; he merely gave his own opinion in turn and it was perfectly reasonable. I'm afraid you've been a bit over-the-top and confrontational for little reason with your responses to several individuals in this thread, friend.

Guys settle down!
Femme, I wasn't trying to get him in trouble or anything, so please don't. And McGylnn I understand that everyone is entitled to there own opinion, I get that, but what I made in that post was pretty much asking why he would want it to get GOTY. But since he said its a runner up I understood.
Hope all is well guys.

I don't need you to tell me when or when not to moderate, thank you. No one is in any trouble; I merely do not like the language being thrown around in this thread.
