Both Morrowind and Oblivion have won Game of the Year in their years, only Uncharted 2 won in it's year, but I think overall Skyrim has a bigger fan base then Uncharted, I would place my money on Skyrim for GotYOutrageousEmu said:...Since when has brand recognition or console exclusivity made a difference in what the best game of the year is? By that logic in 2008 Sonic Unleashed would have been given GOTY instead of LittleBigPlanet. What kind of insane world would that be?ZeroMachine said:I disagree. Although I don't think that L.A. Noire will win game of the year (even if it does sell as well as I hope) I think Skyrim has more of a chance than Uncharted 3. It's a more well known name, and it isn't console exclusive. But, it's definitely between those two.OutrageousEmu said:No, from previews. Basically, the way I've seen it described, LA Noire is super-mega-awesome, Skyrim is Double-Super-Mega-Awesome, and Uncharted 3 is Triple-Super-Mega-Awesome. So we can tell that, based on the current evidence, Uncharted 3 will be one and a half times as super mega awesome as Skyrim. Its just math - you can't argue with the math.Outright Villainy said:Wow sir, tell me where you get your games from the future!OutrageousEmu said:Okay, no. Its good, I will give you that. Very very good, on any other year it would sweep the GOTYs. But 2011? This year? No, Uncharted 3 has that in the bag.ToonLink said:This may be my fanboyism speaking here, but LA Noire is going to be game of the year. I can almost guarantee it.
Don't forget Morrowind won GotY tooZeroMachine said:Ok... wow. Calm down. That would be just retarded. Sonic Unleashed is a horrible game. Skyrim and Uncharted will both be amazing. It's just that, before even being let past the starting line, Skyrim has a bit of a backing behind it, what with Oblivion winning game of the year.
I wasn't saying it was guaranteed. I was saying it has a bit of an edge, but it is still between those two games. So don't worry, I'm not bashing Uncharted 3 here.
Most people don't know it was made by Team Bondi. They'll see Rockstar and think Rockstar made it.DefinitelyPsychotic said:It is only published by Rockstar, it is developed by Team Bondi.DeadlyYellow said:It's a Rockstar game, I'm sure it will sell just fine.
The only thing this game really has in common with any Rockstar game is free-roam.
LA Noire is a linear game. Its not like GTA or Red Dead.
Sure, it is technically a Rockstar game, but a huge R and a Star don't always guarantee selling fifteen million copies.
I am really looking forward to LA and I truly do hope that its sales do well, but I just have a feeling that this game won't be as popular as GTA or Red Dead, because it is a "thinking man's" game.
Oh, right, also good to note.artanis_neravar said:Don't forget Morrowind won GotY tooZeroMachine said:Ok... wow. Calm down. That would be just retarded. Sonic Unleashed is a horrible game.

Oh, hi. I didn't know you played L.A. Noire and therefore knew exactly how it played. I also didn't know you represented the "gamer's want".kanada514 said:I know, you're probably right, and this is a disaster for the video game industry.ToonLink said:This may be my fanboyism speaking here, but LA Noire is going to be game of the year.

Is the game industry trying to become the movie industry? I find it terrible that 'games' such as Heavy Rain and LA Noire get so much hype and worst of all, are successful.
They're not games. They're slightly interractive movies. Why are those movies disguised as games so successful? Why are they praised as games of the year? They're not games. Shouldn't they be at the most, praised as movie of the year?
I think the fact that they are praised by video game critics is the worst thing for the video game industry. It entices more game developers to make movies.
There are enough movies out there. Why do video game developers feel the need to add some more?
Le gamers get games, and let cinephiles get movies.
Or, sir, your hilarious way of getting hopes for L.A. Noire up just made the rage at kanada514's post go away. Thank you, good sir, thank youDelock said:I remember something similar being said about how Red Dead was doomed to failure, or how Dead Space 2 would barely see any return. I also remember a long time ago about an RPG that mixed Final Fantasy with Disney of all things, but that's such an obscure game that I couldn't possible use it as an example here.

THAT IS A HORRIBLE REASON TO PREORDER A GAME.ABLb0y said:I haven't even seen any gameplay videos or anything, and yet i have it pre-ordered, purely because i liked Red Dead.
