Best RPGs of 2012 @ G4TV

I wonder if Dead State will hit the digital shelves in 2012? If so then that might be GotY for me. That or Risen 2 is looking like the sure bets for me.

I'll be looking forward to the new Avernum for the pc, KoA, Grim, and Risen 2….the people that made this list have a lot to learn about "good" crpg's. I, for one, totally expect ME3 to blow, and not in a good way. I mean, Risen 2 gets an honorable mention?!?! W T F!

For me, Risen 2 looks like the best bet for me. I hope the others will please, tool.

I don't know, I liked the first two mass effects so I think the third will be just as good. Risen 2 should be a good diversion. I'm really hoping on kingdoms of amular for this year. At the moment The old republic has me and Skyrim. I have gothic 3 installed with fan patches to play as well…but when?

Really looking forward to Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored - I suppose those are somewhat more action-y than RPG.

My list: Dead State, Age of Decadence and Risen 2. Oh, and X: Rebirth. And I'll probably keep buying the planes they release for Rise of Flight, though I don't really have the time to go flying very often.

I have a sneaking suspicion the South Park game might take RPG of the Year.

Depends. If they kick Josh Sawyer out of it's design, it might be.

Risen 2, but I am apparently one of the few who isn't particularly interested in pirates. Another vote for Eschalon Book 3 and Avernum: Escape from the Pit. Also I loved ME2 whether it was a good RPG or not, so ME3 is on my short list.

I'll be looking forward to Risen 2, will play ME3 and a modded skyrim goty(all dlc) for sure and maybe DA3 depending on the feedback from those who similarly liked DAO but disliked DA2.

But where's my danged Witcher2 expansion?

Hmmm I wasnt aware thomas was planning on releasing Eschalon this year…interesting will have to go check it out.

I guess i have only to look for Torchlight 2 , JRPGs are lol

We've opened 2 threads for our own GOTY. Check them out!

The game I'm looking forward to is Risen 2, a little interested in Diablo 3 and might try Mass Effect 3 after a huge pricedrop. I think SW:TOR and Skyrim will take up my remaining time just nicely…

I'm expecting to see ME3 at like 50% off or more within a week or 2 of launch. Colour me amazed if this doesn't happen.

hahaha, did that happen for the first two games? didn't they sell better then a lot of other rpg's out there? I'm curious how youd eveloped this logic.

Happened for DA2, bioware's first attempt at being a yearly sequel factory.

I'll be grabbing Diablo 3, ME3, KoA and Risen 2. Looks like a decent year overall. Too bad they're all coming this spring - what are we supposed to do the rest of the year? Does Obsidian have any releases in Q2-4 2012 that I'm not aware of?
