I think we should call it just Game of the Year. We sound like a bunch of hipster internet cool guys calling it least hated game of the year.

THIS IS NOT OUR VERSION OF GAME OF THE YEAR!

This is for the game we HATE THE LEAST!!
This is for the game that we can all agree on that was good, or a game that we just don't hate or find it impossible to hate.

That being said, my vote goes to Kirby's Return to Dreamland.
Now, it wasn't the best game, GOTYAY, it was just fun. /v/ loves Kirby, I have seen countless posts about how it is impossible to hate a Kirby game, hell, if I were to be asked "What is /v/'s favorite game?" I'd say Kirby Air Ride because I have never seen anyone say anything bad about it or the series in general.
Kirby is just pure fun and has more charm than any other game/series I can think of.

The only other game I can think of that comes close is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but I still think Kirby deserves this award more, a lot more. When HR came out, there were a few haters, but I have yet to see one person on /v/ say ANYTHING bad about Kirby, not one. The same thing cannot be said of any other game this year.

TL;DR: Kirby is the only acceptable option.

Why can't we have a "GOTY award" instead? This category seems somewhat stupid in my opinion.

GOTY would spark controversy.

This award is for the game that we hate the least. It is for a game that isn't necessarily the best, but the most likable. That is why I think it should go to Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

I agree with SuperSaiyanSwagger. If this really is for the game we hated the least, it's gotta be Kirby.
