Poll: What will be the game of the year?

[somonels]

Stat boosting is a bannable offense.
I wouldn't take a piss on four of games on the list, which you may consider is a positive sign but actually means I don't care enough of to do so.

 

[blackdwarf]

at this point ghost trick. but i still must play portal 2 and skyrim, so we will see.

I'm going to say Minecraft. It's just on a whole different level. all the other games I'm seeing on this list is just more of the same of something we've seen before. Minecraft offers something fundamentally different & revolutionary

Different how?
It just takes old concepts and puts them together, quite well i've heard. But don't make stuff up to big up your game. Good job you like it. Well done you have an opinion.]

It might be worthy for GOTY (or at least some special upstart/indie award for how far they have managed to come on their own back. But not for the reasons you listed.

I have never seen a game that offers players amount of creative freedom that minecraft. I don't know what you mean by old concepts, but i haven't see a game allows anyone to build a functioning computer inside the gameverse from the ground up.

Yeah it expands the building aspects of certain games. But its only deeper. Not a new thing. Ingame buildings been around for years. It just has better tools then most.

And dont quote that computer thing, Only like 5 people actually do that, i doubt your one of them.

I'm certainly not one of the people who who do the computer thingy. but it highlights what sets mindcraft apart. Of course you are absolutely correct in saying that some of these concepts have been around for years.

That poll is an abomination. How could you miss out Portal 2?

 

[TheSquashedOrange]

I'm personally looking forward to Dark Souls. Can't say for sure it'l be GOTY, but Demon Souls was awesome and I'm fairly certain this will be to.

 

[EinTheCorgi]

Im hoping for it to be skyrim but I bet it will be MW3 because of all the 13 year olds.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Out of those? Skyrim. Overall? Portal 2. It's just pure genius.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I think Skyrim or mass effect 3. The one I'm looking forward to the most is Saints row the third

 

[stygN]

Really..? LA Noire?

No offense but I think that game looked pretty darn awful..

Same thing over, and over and over again..

Of course, Skyrim is pretty much same thing over, and over and over again.. But it's a better thing!

And.. Skyrim will probably have better crime solving quests then LA Noire has anyways.. : P

 

[Sharalon]

Portal 2. That is all.

In my estimation, L.A. Noire is the best Rockstar game since San Andreas, for the simple reason that it's not just a rehash of their aging sandbox formula, and the investigation elements are well-incorporated. "same thing over, and over and over" is about what GTA IV felt like, having played through four such games in seven years (and many more clones).

Portal 2. That is all.

Yeah, probably, though epic RPGs à la Skyrim do seem to do well--one could say too well--in GOTY contests.

Broken poll is broken.
I say arkham city, but that's pretty personal. The critics will love Portal 2, Deus Ex Skyrim and Uncharted.

I think Skyrim or mass effect 3. The one I'm looking forward to the most is Saints row the third

ME3 got delayed. It'll probably get 2012 GOTY opposite bioshock infinite.

Thanks for the incredibly civil replies. It's a suprise i was expecting to get yelled at, as thats what usually happens around here.

Im off to dance, because im in a good mood. Have a nice day.

I'm rarely a gentlemen and even then not by choice most of the time.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Probably Skyrim, possibly Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[The Youth Counselor]

After playing the lea...I mean watching previews. Deus Ex: Human Revolution will blow people away, shame the marketing is pretty poor compared to the massive campaigns for Skyrim, DNF Gears 3, and MW3. It might be the sleeper hit of the year.
