Poll: 2011 GOTY?

[Andaxay]

Yes it's early on in the year, but I think Portal 2 already has my GOTY. I am seriously head-over-heels in love with it. I'm excited for Skyrim definitely, but wow.

Not much else this year exciting me though. Gears 3 I can pass on, I didn't enjoy Mass Effect and I haven't played much beyond the first chapter of Uncharted 1 so I won't be playing 3. I might pick up a couple of titles, but I'm only looking forward to Skyrim.

No Brink, Skyrim or Deus Ex, and yet you put Minecraft. SHAME ON YOU SIR/MADAM!

Minecraft is easily my favourite game at the moment and is immensely popular

MC got release last year and doesn't count.
It,s still to early too say but I would pick Portal 2 or DNF.

Minecraft is still in beta, it's meant to be released on 11.11.11

Blasphemy! That one would forget Skyrim is an unforgivable act. All hail the Elder scrolls!

I'm sorry!

I've only played 2 games from 2011 so far (Shift 2 and Minecraft) but I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim, so one of those will probably be my GOTY. My money's on Skyrim because while Mass Effect 3 is probably going to be awesome and really enjoyable, I'll probably play Skyrim much more.

Skyrim. Portal 2 is a strong contender, as well as Mass Effect 3, but Skyrim seems like it will take the prize.

 

[SilverUchiha]

Based off what is out now, I'd have to say Portal 2. Arkham City could surprise us all. But until such time, Portal 2 is probably the game to beat right now. I'd like to see DNF in the running, but while that would be cool, I highly doubt it will be a match for either Batman or Portal, let alone many of the other great titles this year. Hell, Pokemon B/W is just as likely in the running with all the top scores and positive fan-response for it.

 

[Drummodino]

I'd rather wait for the games before I decide.

This, exactly this!! I've never understood why people start naming GOTY when the years alloted games haven't been released or played yet. IMO the only time you can make a decision on the actual GOTY is for you is once the year has passed and the games have been played.

I just thought it would be fun to speculate

 

[JPH330]

Please be good, Deus Ex 3...

 

[luke10123]

Skyrim, I have high expectations

really looking forward to ME3 and battlefield 3 but there's no WAY dragon age is getting GotY against these contenders

 

[plugav]

I'm going to be a patriot and keep my fingers crossed for The Witcher 2.

 

[Ecliptica Wolf]

I know it's supposed to be a prediction but I can't help it.

IT'S APRIL. APRIL.

Catherine.

no, I'm not even joking, I'm quite serious.

 

[Mikeyfell]

I love how Duke Nukem's not even on the list.

Well so far it's Portal 2

Ever since Bioware compared Mass Effect 3 to Call of Duty
Minecraft came out last year.
Dragon Age 2 was only okay.
L.A. Noire is a sandbox game by Rockstar. And Rockstar is really really bad at sandbox games.
Kill Zone 3 was crap.
Uncharted 3 won't be any better than Uncharted 2.
I don't care about Battelfield or any multyplayer focused FPS (And neither should you).
Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim: stands a chance. but after playing Fallout New Vegas I think Bethesta is on a down hill slope from here on out.
The Last Guardian by team ICO comes out this year doesn't it.
Tales of Hearts is coming out in America this year. I might have to buy a PS3 for that.
When the fuck is Half Life 2 Episode 3 coming out?

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

LA NOIRE, SKYRIM, UNCHARTED 3, MASS EFFECT 3, THE WITCHER 2 will all be GOTY. Althought my preference goes to Skyrim, for their effort in innovation in terms of RPG combat/gameplay.


DEUS EX HUMAN REVOLUTION is also a possible choice, if it's made like the 1st one.

 

[Serenegoose]

I don't think there's going to be a game better than Portal 2 for the next few years.

I take issue with a couple of your points:

Rockstar make bad sandbox games? Are you kidding? The whole GTA franchise comes to mind as a pretty good series of sandbox games made by them.
I do care about multiplayer FPS because I find them fun if they are well made. I do not like people telling me what I should and shouldn't like. I respect your right to an opinion but don't try and force it onto others.

 

[Steve Butts]

No Shogun 2? Sad.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

I'd go with arkham city or skyrim!

 

[Captain Pancake]

Minecraft's definitely the most original thing I've seen all year, but it's still a little rough around the edges. Once Notch says it's done for good then we'll see for sure, cause each update brings pretty major changes.

 

[Baldry]

Portal 2, Skyrim and Arkham city, so many great games coming out this year though.
