game of the year thoughts for 2009-2010

[ShotgunSmoke]

Mafia 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Mass Effect 2 look fantastic.

I have my doubts about Max Payne 3, after seeing those new screenshots.

no more hero's desperate struggle

I want to believe it'll be Brutal Legend, but if not, probably Modern Warfare 2. I have high hopes for Bioshock 2, but I doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as the first game. Left 4 Dead 2 is a possibility, so is Mario Galaxy 2, but both of them are too close to the originals so I doubt it.

brutal legend, that game will be awesome

YES

It will indeed

I personally am looking forward to The Conduit. I will probably love it, but it will hardly be game of the year overall, maybe game of the year on the Wii (either that or Red Steel 2, we'll see). 2010 probably No More Heroes Desperate Struggle.

For a multiplatform game, Modern Warfare 2, and there is no denying that this game will be intense. 2010, Dingo says GoW III, but I think ME 2 might take it, we will see.

It all depends if you want to talk to these people, or if you want to rip them limb from limb. Personally, I get enough talking to people in my day already.

Yes, but do you have a dialogue option in your day to day conversations labeled [SHOOT HIM]?!?

I believe Borderlands has a small chance at becoming the GOTY of this year. If Gearbox manages to execute what they've been promising, it could easily become the Fallout 3 of 2009.

GOTY 2010, both will be God Of War III. There is no level you can argue with that on.

Yes I can, I could say that all the GOW games are cookie-cutter action games that excel only in amounts of gore and repetition.

Statcraft 2. Seriously, if Blizzard lands this as late as Q4 09 it's a shoe-in. Thier fanbase is RABID for this game.

For me it's Mass Effect 2. The writing is amazing, the depth in content is amazing, the choices are amazing, the characters are amazing, the planets are amazing... I could go on forever. And just the fact that the outcomes of the choices that you made in the first game are thouroughly present in the second game just makes me want it even more. Another game that's going to be great is Alan Wake. I love Remedy and I know that they're a team of perfectionists so I just can't wait for this game.

If they keep Wrex as a character and maybe make all my decisions worth a damn (i.e Ashley as my love interest, humanity joined the council, Rachni allowed to live, Wrex lives, Kaiden is less lucky) then I would hold out hope for Mass Effect 2.

That is what Bioware is doing. I heard recently in a video, from one of the 2 main guys at Bioware, that your choices will be visible right from the beginning of the game.

What happens if you did multiple run throughs with the same guy? ...I don't want Ashley to die!

hmmm. i don't know. i haven't heard anything about that. but i have a few theories. perhaps the choices you made the first playthrough w/ that character are the ones the game will take. Or perhaps since the game autosaves over the same files of the first playthrough of that character, you will have a choice as to what set of choices you want to carry on to Mass Effect 2. that makes sence b/c you keep all the armor and weapons for the second playthrough w/ the same character. or it could be the most recent playthrough decisions you made that the game takes.

I'm pretty sure it would be the most recent playthrough that counts. Like you said, it saves over everything else. It really wouldn't make sense any other way.

The only other thing i could think of is if you manually saved in different slots.
