Bordersdown Game of the Year - Final Vote 2012

[Neon Ignition]

As its new year and evilcats main thread has slipped down the page with many choices listed I've taken the liberty of tallying up the votes. The above poll will allow everyone to pick 1 game which is their personal GOTY to give us a final result.

Which is yours?

[noobish hat]

Walking Dead didn't make it? You only have yourselves to blame for the ****ty state of the industry, people.

[Neon Ignition]

Yup, overall Walking Dead was fairly off the mark votes wise. Fairly surprised given its one of the most praised titles of 2012 on here

The many many technical problems with The Walking Dead mean that it has no place in the GOTY poll so I'm glad it's not here.

[noobish hat]

What technical problems? I didn't experience any.

Well done for doing this, I have only played 2 of the final list. Will have to be ZombiU then.

Losing saves between episodes is the biggest one for most people (Steam version) - thus throwing away the entire point of the game; that your choices mean something. Complete DRM failure for non-steam PC version meaning that I and many others have only actually played up to episode 3 and Telltale don't seem to give a toss about fixing it.

I've gone for ZombiU also. Enjoyed all the others but ZombiU nails the approach and the hardware use.

Yeah but that's PC stuff, so it doesn't count.

[Decider-VT]

Only played Journey from that list, so...

[Plough Boy]

I couldn't be bothered to vote on the other list as it was a 'in theory' thread.
My votes would be:
1. Far Cry 3
2. The Walking Dead
3. Minecraft
They're probably the only 3 games released this year I've played!!

I've only played the first episode and the 360 version has bugged out on me already - wouldn't let me talk or interact with any characters, had to restart it.

[Paddy]

Either Resident Evil: Revelations due to shear amount of hours put into it + scary RE again.

Or Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for surprising me with its roster, amount of features and just being damn tech and great to play.

Got Farcry 3 for Christmas but haven't played yet. You can all start to linch me from now.

[Neon Ignition]

Kinda surprised Journey has done so well in all GOTY polls. I certainly enjoyed it but there's not too much to its design and ai'd argue it isn't as good as Flower

[Brad]

If Halo 4 wins I'm cancelling my subscription.
