Toss up between Witcher 2 and Skyrim for me, Skyrims big and very good (except for the fact the only dragon that's somewhat hard is anduin), but then i also love Witcher 2, ARG!
Although Saints Row isn't out yet (damn it why do they all come out when i have to study!), but yeh those 2 are my only current GOTY's at the moment after the big disappoint (to me, so shush) which was DA2, and rage while good i found rather short and somewhat linear when i was expecting more open world experience.

My vote would probably go to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. A game that set out to do a lot and got pretty much all of it right. All the elements needed to make a modern Deus Ex game where there: the deep, layered story, the varied augmentations and upgrade paths, the subtle and intelligent morals and themes and the varied non-linearf progression of levels. It had all of this, plus bringing a whole lot of new stuff to the table, such as the unique aesthetic, the bigger focus on side quests and the more advanced weapon modifiers. For a game that can set out to be so ambitious and still be extremely fun to play, my vote would have to go to Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
The runner-up would probably be Batman: Arkham City, for taking all that was good about Arkham Asylum (ie everything) and just making it bigger and better in any way. Also, there's a hell of a lot of replay value out of those crazy fun Riddler challenges. Third place, I would give to LA Noire. It's been kind of overshadowed in most GOTY discussions by epics like Skyrim and Uncharted 3, but it felt to me like it was just a few coats of polish away from perfection. Definately as ambitious as Deus Ex, even if it wasn't quite as fun as it or Batman and the new facial capture technology definately puts every other game to shame. Here's hoping it doesn't get totally ignored in the GOTY discussions.

um there is still star wars the old republic yet to be released, and saints row 3 qwill be out soon, it'll be after December, wait till the end of the year kk?
Skyrim or MW3
Not because either necessarily deserves the title, but because the hype for them is that great.
Remember: "GOTY" is not a title indicative purely of quality, but a title given due to popularity.
Neither game has made my GOTY list this year:
-I'm not playing Skyrim this year, so it's DQ'd by default.
-MW3 is the same overrated tripe it's been for three years running now
The other contenders, well, some of them aren't out yet. We shall see..

Hey! HEY! HEY!!! Assassin's Creed, Saints Row? Am I the ONLY one who thinks those games are worthwhile?
Why the hell are MW3 and BF3 grouped together? May as well group Skyrim with Skyward Sword. And where is Dark Souls or Deus Ex HR? All in all this is a pretty shitty poll.
OT: So far my GOTY is Skyrim.

I think skyrim, why even though it is not flawless it is such a huge game with such amount of things that can happen and you can do that. You easily overlook the flaws.
Not to mention the amount of hours you can put in one simple playthrough there you go..

I cannot imagine that anything other than skyrim will even have a chance. I say with complete confidence that Skyrim is the greatest game of the entire decade, trouncing it's competition for GOTY, and I'm far from alone.
Either Arkham City or Saints Row: The Third when it comes out.
Most publications will chose Zelda or Skyrim if I'm right (which I am)

And who gave it that award?Mimsofthedawg said:
An award ceremony? The Internet? Your friends? Or perhaps a marketing company who is leveraging strong sales figures?
In the absence of a definitive process or established credible authority on the matter, I can only assume it means "most popular", since the subject is mostly...well, subjective.
You would be correct. It's just the way things are.Mimsofthedawg said:
Now that I think about it, such an awards authority would take flak for the same reason as the real Academy Awards: "It's pretentious and politically-charged"
(As if giving out awards for subjective achievements wasn't pretentious. It is, but we have fun with it in our own little way, and I guess it does spark some serious discussion due to the controversy certain picks can generate)
