I personally enjoyed Fable III, even though it almost forced you in to a "be a jerk and save lives" or "be a nice guy and everyone dies" ending. There were ways to save everyone and be a good guy, but it took a very long time of collecting money off rent/pie making.

I don't though believe it was the horrible product that some people think, I understand Molyneux's comments because he's the creative mind. But then again, I can't imagine anyone that was transforming a script to a movie/video game that was 100% satisfied with the outcome.

This game is so frustrating, nothing worse than being chased by 3 half-naked dudes with rocks for 30 minutes right after you respawn.

Honorable mentions:

Joanna Dark -- Perfect Dark series

Bastila Shan -- Star Wars: KOTOR

Samus Aran -- Metroid series

Morrigan -- Dragon Age

Yuna -- Final Fantasy X and X-2

COD is like the Fast&Furious franchise of video games, same game but a little shinier each time.

Should there really be awards for nextgen consoles? Majority of the games are ports from previous-gen consoles and both consoles have been out for less than a month...

@kensuya Well, since Watchdogs hasn't been released yet, I'd throw my hat in with GTAV. I mean, if GTAIV (aka: Kingpin 2: Niko And Roman) won GOTY why not GTAV?

@GSGuy321 8.0?

Poor poor Naughty Dog, they thought "The Last of Us" was going to be GOTY.....
