Giantbomb Community 2012 Game of the Year Voting

Put mine up a while back. Can't wait to see where everything falls out. Halo 4 and Dishonored FTW son. I've got to be the only one championing FFXIII-2 this hard so my fallback hope is that Dishonored or Halo 4 takes the community award.

I am betting The Walking Dead takes top spot. I will bet 1k Brad bucks on it.

I just sent out a mass pm to those people who have mis-titled their list or have submitted their names but have no list in their profile. So if you have not received a pm from me, congrats! Your list was submitted successfully!

There are still 8 days remaining before voting is closed, so don't worry, there's still time to submit if you haven't yet.

In other news, 450 people have submitted lists so far, which is up by 50% from last year!

If I put a list up now, can I change it again before the end of the year or would the first thing it finds be my "final" list? That's why I've put off putting mine up so far as there's still games I need to play.

@Mijati: Absolutely! You can edit your list as much as you like after you make it, move numbers around, etc. I sent out that pm in part just to remind everyone who submitted their names but didn't make lists that the deadline is coming up, in case they forgot. But yeah, the list feature on GB let's you edit it after you publish. Whatever state the list titled GOTY 2012 on your profile is in on New Years Eve, that's the one I'll use. Even if that state is Dino D-Day repeated 10 times.

But yeah, the list feature on GB let's you edit it after you publish. I compile the list from whatever the most recent version of your list is when I run the code, and that'll be on New Years Eve.

Cheers, was just wondering how it worked with your script. I'll get something up now then and edit it more later.

TRAIN SIMULATOR 2013

TRAIN SIMULATOR 2013

shhhhh, don't give the results away

Threw my list together. http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/fuzzy510/goty-2012/46-80936/

I have an iOS game in the top 3. I feel unclean.

I thought I had my list order set, but upon further reflection I see now that this year I am putting more emphasis on emotional impact than gameplay systems. Games like Persona 3 Arena (3), Mass Effect 3 (5), and Journey (6) jumped a few spots on my list.

Did anyone else do the same? I feel myself remembering more the emotional impact than that sweet combo I strung together in something like Witcher 2.

Thank you for asking this question.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who put Rock Band Blitz in their top 10. I figured I was going to be alone on that one.

Finalized my list:

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mcmax3000/goty-2012/46-80385/

I still haven't gotten to put as much time into Far Cry 3 as I would like, but with the whole Christmas thing, I don't think that's going to happen before the deadline, so best it's going to get is an honorable mention. Feel confident enough about everything else on my list.

Nope, I've got Rock Band Blitz at my number ten position, so that's at least three people! On a similar note, I'm wondering if I'm going to be the only person to have Theatrhythm in their Top 10. That game is aaaaace.

Done and done

Here's my stupid long-winded list:

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/dennisthemennis/goty-2012/46-80970/

Really cool seeing the variety of everyone's lists. Lots of great games this year and I still haven't played them all.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/dg991/goty-2012/46-80982/

All your lists are belong to us

My list, to make sure it gets included.

I put myself on your list of lists!

Here's my list. http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/sticky_pennies/goty-2012/46-80988/

List.

I love when the Bombers get to create their own collective piece of history.
 
And since everyone is quite clearly dying to see my list, here it is: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/hbk619/goty-2012/46-80898/
 
Also, check out my other lists because...LISTS!!!!! http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/hbk619/lists/

Just putting mine up here, to save time.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/havealovelyday/goty-2012/46-80785/

I followed your instructions to the letter, so I should be good to go. Thanks for compiling all this data, duder! Should be interesting to see the results.

If anyone cares about my list, here ya go: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/beard_of_zeus/goty-2012/46-80130/

I wrote some thoughts about each game, and did some honorable mentions, so maybe take a look? :D

Done. I had already made my list under a different title, but I edited it to have the proper title so it should work.

Also here it is if anybody wants to read the dumbest list ever:

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/slowbird/goty-2012/46-80053/

All done....just about the same list as many others.

Alright, so Catherine came out this year for Europe and I loved it. Am I allowed to put it on my list, or do I have to go by American release dates?

Well after much deliberation I finally finished my list.

Feel bad that I never got around to playing Borderlands 2, Darksiders 2, as well as The Walking Dead this year. I'm sure most will have Walking Dead high on their lists and I really am eager to play it, but sadly none of us have time for every game this year.

do whatever, mang. it's your list. I'm not gonna arrest you.

The only true Game of the Year list is mine of course!

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/willin/goty-2012/46-81060/

Hell of a year for downloadable games. Only one game on my list is currently available on a disc.

FUCK! That's the game I forgot!

Walking Dead seems a bit over rated in my humble opinion.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/droop/best-of-2012/46-79924/

Got my list done. Curious to see the results.

I did a blog and list. I also got lazy when the formatting started fighting me. Merry Christmas? Yeah. This is a great gift to you guys.

Whelp, here's what will most likely be the final version of my list: (Unless some surprise acquisition occurs in the next few days and supplants one of the lower slots somehow- I doubt it'll happen though.)

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/warlockengineermoredakka/goty-2012/46-80905/

Read and despair. >_>

:P

Here's my list in case anyone's curious to read yet another one:

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/amlabella/goty-2012/46-81117/

Quite a year for downloadable games, eh?

Alright - I'll follow along. Here is mine. Spoilers - XCOM wins and there is an iOS game on there!

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mostman/goty-2012/46-81137/

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/jabbawocky/goty-2012/46-74348/

Although it still might change depending on whether I end up playing Sleeping Dogs between now and the deadline.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/make_me_mad/goty-2012/46-81158/

That's my list! Everyone else is gonna have to deal with it.

Is there any blog post or anything about the best GB Quick Looks of 2012 aside from this list? (probably not the right place to ask this, but i really want to know)

I changed my game of the year. See what game squeaked by The Walking Dead. I'll update the list later on, but Yep, new GOTY

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/pistolpackinpoet/goty-2012/46-80101/

Hopefully it is radically different from the staff's! More fun that way.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/logan3/goty-2012/46-81189/

: )

Done XD

Just finished and submitted mine! : )

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/agodzo/goty-2012/46-80565/

Have a great new year guys!

I almost never do these sorts of lists seriously anymore, but I had such a wonderfully bizarre year in terms of what I could actually play that I thought I would throw up a list for kicks and to reflect on a lot of new things I learned about the medium and it's potential. Maybe it'll convince a few people to check out some of the more unusual entries given how highly I pushed some of them? I doubt it, but we'll see! Check it out here! :D!

I'm properbly the only one who voted for Pid, but whatever man Pid is fucking awesoem and you should all go and play Pid.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/civid/goty-2012/46-81232/

Finally finished VLR. So, here's my list :o

Just filled my GOTY list. Here is my list.
