Its tough, I would say The Walking Dead. Its story alone made me care about its characters a person like me wanting to protect Clementine, The game did something right for me to want to do that.

For me the top 3 are the walking dead, dishonored, and far cry 3. However, Far Cry 3 is my best game of 2012 because it was a refreshing experience with a perfect story, beautiful surroundings, and fun gameplay.

Actually I just read this. And I do agree with him on some parts. It would be an interesting twist. Thoughts?
And yes the psychological parts were the best part of the story. Einstein's quote fits very well with Vaas's character.

Persona 5 Arena----Typo

Is it just me or is that poll focused on Europe? Catherine, which was released 2011 in America and 2012 in Europe, is there, while Xenoblade Chronicles, which was released 2011 in Europe and 2012 in America, is missing.
Anyway, I say Dishonored, without a doubt. Yeah, it could have been better, as it's too easy and short, but still it's great and the best this year.
Far Cry 3 and Sleeping Dogs are quite nice too. I'll never understand why people think that Far Cry 3 has a good story, though.

So many games. I'd rather just break them down to different categories than just choosing one GoTY.
[edit]
No Hotline Miami?

I was torn between Far Cry 3, XCOM, and Dragon's Dogma. I also really liked Binary Domain, Spec Ops: The Line (missing from the list, btw) and Darkness 2, but can't exactly call either of them "the best" for this year.

I agree about Jason not being the ideal or typical protagonist that are known in video games, but I'm assuming that the reason why Vaas was on the cover was because of how powerful they anticipated Vaas' presence would be. Because it's in first person it allows you to see the perspective of Jason, but you are never able to see what he looks like, which give Vaas a greater presence because people will always remember who Vaas is. He fails to understand that this is still fiction and nothing in video games should be, " realistic". Mass Effect, Zelda, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear, Halo, Gears of War and other known video games are not realistic and should never be realistic because it would hinder the developers and writers creativity when making the story of the game. The lack of a realistic story gives the writer a greater possibilities for a story. I agree that Vaas should not have died quickly, but Vaas being the hero/protagonist does not fit Vaas. Vaas is the quintessential villain that will always stay in the mind of the viewer and protagonist and has captured the hearts of all types of gamers. I think Kirk kind of missed the point of a Alice in Wonderland like island with Jason as the innocent Alice, Vaas as the Cheshire Cat , and the people of the island are the subjects of the Queen, who is Hoyt. In the end, the story does need some improvement, but the writers succeeded in what they most likely originally wanted to do and that was to highlight the insanity of Vaas.
