I realize that the term RPG doesn't really mean Role-Playing Game anymore, so I don't really know what would qualifies anymore. If I had to choose a game in which I actually roll played, I would choose the Walking Dead game. Now I know that that game is considered to me more of an adventure category, but I would argue it was a role playing game by the definition of what Role Playing is. I was immersed into a world and into the role of a character. I started making decisions and taking actions based off of what that character would do in that position. Or what I would do. I caught myself numerous times thinking of the character as myself, rather than Lee. That I feel is a good roleplaying game and I think it pulled that off much better than any other game this year.

Final Fantasy 13-2 for the GOTY RPG? Just kidding. I've been playing Dragon Dogma the most this year compared to any other "RPG". Maybe Mass Effect 3 or Xenoblade Chronicles for RPG GOTY. Can we even consider any games released last year in another region as a nominee?
