The Top Three Contenders for GOTY

[DirgeNovak]

Uncharted 3, Skyrim and Deus Ex 3. Though I'm pretty sure it will be decided between U3 and Skyrim. Deus Ex was extraordinary, but if Uncharted and Skyrim are as good as critics say they are (based on previews, of course), it can't compete with them.

My game of the year is Gears of War 3, since it's the most fun I've had in the series. I'm also smart enough to know that Skyrim will win Game of the Year, simply because it was developed by Bethesda, and as we all know, Bethesda games, no matter how broken, will always win game of the year.

Blah blah blah. Is it so hard to accept that you're outnumbered by people who genuinely think Bethesda make great games?

My three choices are as follows:
Skyrim
Elder Scrolls V
and that sequel to Oblivion...

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Dark Souls is a darkhorse that may steal some awards from Skyrim.

I really doubt that. Not that Dark Souls isn't a good game (I absolutely love it and I think it's probably my favorite of the year) but I think that Skyrim is all around just more popular and hyped by the media than Dark Souls.

Yes, but Demon's Souls won awards and I can see some sites going against the Skyrim crowd.

 

[Hides His Eyes]

I really wish people would stop comparing Skyrim and Dark Souls. I haven't played either, but my brother has Dark Souls and I've seen a lot of it, and obviously I have an idea of what Skyrim is going to be like and honestly... they're just barely in the same category of game.

 

[laggyteabag]

Well im really exited for BF3, Skyrim and AC:R

Skyrim will probably win it for me, although BF3 does have 60 awards so far so ive got high hopes for that one too, and I really enjoyed the beta

 

[Luke5515]

Deus Ex, Skyrim, and BF3.

Even though two aren't out yet, if they're half as good as they're looking, they'll be contenders.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm going with Stacking for the indie catagory mainly because it was adorable but also because it was released WAY back in the beginning of the year and has likely been forgotten.

I can't make an honest decision though since I'm still waiting for Saint's Row 3 and Skyrim.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Skyrim, Saints Row and Deus Ex ...

good choices, but what else ?

 

[crono738]

Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Arkham City with Dark Souls as a probable fourth entry.

Call of Duty will not even be in the running.

 

[everythingbeeps]

Keeping in mind that no fewer than half a dozen games will call themselves "Game of the Year" when all is said and done, Skyrim, Uncharted 3 and Arkham City are all locks.

I'm more excited for Saints Row 3, but I doubt anyone's going to be calling that GOTY.

Zelda:SS and Dark Souls will also get a lot of attention.

Call of Duty isn't going to win any GOTY awards, but it will become the highest selling game ever.

Though if it doesn't, I wonder if Activision will blow up the franchise like they did Guitar Hero.

 

[teebeeohh]

the witcher 2
Bastion
Shogun 2

i was underwhelmed by both Portal 2 and deus ex(still great games just not as good as i thought they would be) and because i moved and my PS3 is still in the basement somewhere i will not be playing dark souls this year. i won't be getting skyrim this year but arkham city may remove the witcher.

 

[RaffB]

Its probally going to be COD or Battlefield..


My choice would be Batman, Saints Row 3 , Skyrim or Deus Ex

 

[Nightmare-Child]

Dark Souls, Skyrim, Portal 2. Battlefield 3 is a serious contender though.

 

[nbamaniac]

Mine's gonna have to be The Witcher 2, Bastion and omfg no one even mentioned this: ORCS MUST DIE! >xD

Haven't played Batman:AC yet, but i'm getting pretty hyped based on what I'm seeing...

Skyrim?? meh.. maybe
