    It's that time of the year again. Vote for your top 10 RPG's that were/will be released between Jan 1st 2011 and Dec 31st 2011. I will collect your votes until January 1st, 2012 when this poll will close. I will then tally the results in a different topic.

    **************************************************************************
    THE RULES:

    DO NOT PUT NUMBERS BEFORE THE NAME OF A GAME. IF YOU DO I WILL NOT COUNT YOUR VOTE. PERIOD. Just list 10 or less games. What ever you want in any order you want. Order does not matter.

    USE THE EDIT BUTTON IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE. If you have multiple posts with games, I will not count any of your votes. Same deal for people using shitty alts.

    THE GAME MUST HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON THE PC.

    IF A GAME WAS RELEASED IN ONE COUNTRY AND THEN IN THE US WITHIN THE YEARS STATED ABOVE YOU CAN LIST THEM AS YOUR VOTE. For Example Drakensang: The River of time was internationally released on Jan 31, 2011 IIRC.

    DLC's will be accepted, provided they were released between the dates stated above.

    YOUR LIST OF GAMES MUST BE IN A PROPER LISTED FORMAT SUCH AS:

    GAME X
    GAME Y
    GAME Z

    NOT JUST A SENTENCE CONTAINING THE GAMES YOU WANT TO VOTE ON.

    IF YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES ALL OF THE GAMES YOU VOTE FOR WILL BE IGNORED.

    ****************************************************************************

    Off the top of my head, since there was only 1 cRPG released this year my votes so far:

    Frayed Knights

    I can already predict the winner: Witcher 2. :roll:

    But anyway, my votes go to...

    Chantelise
    Dark Souls (excluded because of Jaesun's stupid PC only rule)
    Demise: Ascension (in pre-release now)
    Drakensang: The River of Time
    E.Y.E.
    Fallout NV: Old World Blues
    Frayed Knights
    Ōkamiden (excluded because of Jaesun's stupid PC only rule)
    ToEE with the latest version of the Co8

    Those are the only good RPGs/hybrids released this year that I can name off the top of my head. And no, I didn't really enjoy DE:HR or TW2.

    Not a good year for RPGs :(

    My votes:

    Drakensang: The River of Time
    Skyrim

    /e: I can't believe what kind of games others included so far. BROS REMEMBER: THIS IS ABOUT THE PC RPG OF THE YEAR 2011, NOT 'LIST ALL RPGS YOU PLAYED IN 2011'!

    tRoT is really the only one that I can put on my list in good conscience, even though it probably belongs in 2010.

    By the looks of it, SR3 is going to be more of an "RPG" than either The Witcher 2, DE:HR or Skyrim.

    Let's see who's first to put DA2 on their list.

    Frayed knights, I guess. Even though I didn't really like it much.

    I just don't want a fucking action RPG to win best RPG of the year. Can we give -1 votes instead? :M

    New Vegas (if it came out in 2011, or was it 2010 already?)
    Witcher 2
    Frayed Knights

    Other than that I don't even remember if there were any other RPGs this year. :?

    New Vegas came out in 2010, but you can vote for any DLCs that came out this year.

    Skyrim


    :troll:



    Seriously, though, I've played a few games already named, but can't consider them RPG's in good conscience - least of all, vote for them in any context of being 'best' without considering them good.
    It was a sad year.



    Edit: Fuck this. With all the TW2 and DXHR's sudden RPGness derp going, I'm voting Skyrim, best hiking sim of the year.
    Edit too: fixed this decisive vote for rule adherence.

    My votes so far:

    Drakensang: The River of Time
    The Witcher 2
    ____________

    As to other RPGs of this year, I might still buy Frayed Knights, so this may be added at some point. Most other games I only buy when they are out with all DLC in an affordable package nowadays, so I will probably not play DX:HR or Skyrim this year. I played the demo of DA2, and I know I will not vote for that one.
