We're testing a new system for polls on the site, and we're kicking it off with GOTY 2012. With the help of a few people on Steam chat, we tossed together a rough list, but let us know if you have any suggestions below. The poll will begin in roughly 20 minutes.

Borderlands 2? Really?
Apparently my taste heavily deviates from most. I found it to be a boring grindfest. But everyone has a different opinion...

Suggestions:

  • Dark Souls: Prepare to Die
  • Intrusion 2

I think Dark Souls: Prepare to Die is just a re-edition of Dark Souls (2011) so it cannot be considered a 2012 game.

Since it's Steam GOTY, so I think Dark Souls should be considered a 2012 game. And no, it is not a re-edition. It's the base game plus a huge expansion.

Yeah, they added some new areas and new bosses to the console version, so it's a new game. Legit.

Borderlands 2 was amazing, too. Grindfest, yes, but fun grindfest.

Mass Effect 3 did come out in 2012 guys ;) Despite the ending I feel like that should've been up here. Failing that my vote goes to BL2 because there wasn't really any games I cared for

Awww voted for NS2 and it turns out the be the 2nd least popular game right behind Scribblenauts Unlimited and tied with Mark of the Ninjas. Played some Walking Dead so can see why it is #2 here, but Borderlands 2 as #1 I have to play that game someday

Suggestion:
You noted that size was a concern, and for that reason you excluded some games. This is, I feel, a poor practice for polls in general, and particularly something like 'game of the year' where it would be relatively easy for a user to pick from a list of any steam game that came out the past year.

As it is, the pool is still very large on the front page, and while it is attention-grabbing, I'm not sure if that's the best route.

(I realize picking games from a steam-generated list wouldn't necessarily be generalizable to any poll, which is probably what you're trying to test.)

So, I just realized by accident that not only can you vote multiple times, you can do it just by clicking a selection. Bug or feature?

Your vote changes with the grey highlighted box around your choice. Look to the right side and when you change it, the number will go down one, and then the one you choose instead will go up. It should not add them. It does not for me at least.
