One Hit Pixel Community Game Of The Year 2012: Best RPG

Compared to 2011, RPGs were fairly hard to come by this year, especially ones that surpassed the rest. When The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim took the Community Award for Best RPG of 2011, it was difficult to imagine that anything would come as close this year to the spectacular hit RPG. This year, much like the Best Fighting category, we couldn’t count Persona 4: Golden among our nominees as it hasn’t seen a European release yet. Look at the guild board of quests and you will find the controversial conclusion to an epic space saga, a resurrected lord of destruction, the return to the Unova region, a fantasy adventure huge in scope, one of the highest rated iOS RPGs of the year, and the swansong for the Nintendo Wii. Which quest did our community decide to embark upon?

Hmmm, I was not aware that Mass Effect 3 was an RPG. Interesting

[Ezz2013]

RPG mean "Role Playing Game"
and mass effect 3 is Role playing game

unless you think RPG only happen in Open World games

Mass Effect 3? I am 100% positive that that was chosen for the hits alone. There is no frickin' way on the Gaming God's multi-terrained planet that Mass Effect 3 is the best anything other than the Best Letdown. And it ain't an RPG either.

[Aloren]

Yeah, the community chose for the hits. Or maybe, just maybe, they liked it.

[DragonKnight]

Or maybe, just maybe, they have no taste. Hell, Kingdoms of Amalur was a better RPG than Mass Effect 3. I stand by my statement.

[Aloren]

You stand by what statement ? that a community award was chosen for the hits ? that's a bit ridiculous...
Or that ME3 wasn't the best RPG ? I'm fine with that. Though that doesn't mean they have no taste just cause they disagree.

What the heck are pokemon, me 3 and diablo 3 doing on that list? GW2, Persona 4, BL2, xenoblade, torchlight 2 > this list

[SkirkRidgeEX]

In the UK, Persona 4: Golden hasn't been released and Xenoblade Chronicles was released last year, so weren't eligible for selection. The one game on the list I would say should be on that list is Torchlight 2, but the community chose the selection.

[Hicken]

I almost wanna pardon this site, since it was "community" voted. Still, Mass Effect is getting far too many accolades. It's like Skyrim to me.

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Xenoblade wasn't nominated? I didn't play it but it got crazy good reviews...
