I fail to see how your logic works at all, if you knew the trend was there, why buy the next games?

:brokencomputer:

Though I agree the content is much less that previous titles, what game out there beats it in terms of content/$, name just one?

P.S.

"Beats"? Hell, even comes close.....

Yes,

Cheers

Morrowind

It costs less and has more content.

Yes, Morrowind should be 2011's GOTY. Wait, no.

Guess I should have been more clear.



.....excluding other Bethesda titles.

Morrowind was not in the running for GOTY......or even eligible. Think games this year....

Without a doubt.

Portal 2 should have one GOTY. It's a matter of quality over quantity, and Portal 2 is 100% quality.

Even Skyward Sword deserved GOTY more than Skyrim.

PC: Yes
Xbox: Yes
PS3: Hell no

Of course it deserve it, it's not perfect and it has bugs but it still deservere it more over any other game this year

Can some one link me a Full Vga stream? Oh and skyrim deserved it!

My Xbox red ringed 3 days before battlefield 3 came out. After sending it in to get fixed, I got it back the day before Skyrim was released.

I'll stick my neck out and say Skyrim is the best game of all time. My opinion is mine.

Right, because Skyrim is the only game that has ever had technical issues this year. I see. Got it.

Also, I quit watching the VGAs about halfway through, but I did watch when Skyrim was announced as a GOTY nominee. I remember Zachary Levi saying something like: "Skyrim has a world that constantly reacts to the player, and it has awesome combat." Seriously? Skyrim barely reacts to player actions at all, and the combat is definitely not awesome: the combat is terrible. Then they had a damn pyrotechnics display after they showed a video for Skyrim, and at that point I had no doubt in my mind what game would win GOTY.

Well, I think these contests are kind of dumb, but my GOTY would without a doubt be The Witcher 2.

I dont care of every bugs.its still one of the best games,one of my favourite games.i love it<3
congratulations bethesda!
Funny to see when every new game is made there is always people that complain.
And i agree sure it has some flaws ^^ But cmon! its an elder scrolls game! That make me care less about the flaws and bugs.
Skyrim deserves GOTY.But sure there was some amazing games this year

I agree, your immersion in the game is constantly broken by NPCs reacting stupidly and not reacting at all, and you barely have any affect on the quests, even though you're given dialogue options there's no real freedom of choice.

At the end of the day you either kill someone to end a quest or fetch something. Pretty simple, and not dressed up well either. Other games can disguise this simple mechanic, but Skyrim seemingly wears it on its sleeve.

Your not a big elder scrolls fan eh?
and i wish i could play the witcher 2 D:
my pc is too bad

Fear not A xbox version is being Made.

I really dont know what to say... sometimes yes sometimes no... most recently its been alot of no's.

its a good game yes

but....

there are too many bug issues right now thats the big no for me ive never experienced so many bad game effecting bugs...

Of course its GOTY, people put 100s of hours into this game PER TOON. No other game can say that.
You take a game like Uncharted 3 for example, yes its an amazing game but after 20 hours, you are done and there is zero replay.

TES always have tons of replay and you can put in 100s of hours easily

GOTY doesnt mean crap anymore, if it ever did... Its a popularity contest. People don't vote for the best game, they vote for the flashiest and the most hyped, or to prove a point.

Sorry, but if Skyrim is very fun, it is not a quality game. It is EXTREMELY bugged (gamebreakingly so for a lot of players including an entire platform), very shallow in both storyline and gameplay and fails to provide any challenge whatsoever starting in the mid 30, with just about any type of combat-related build, even on Master.

Now don't get me wrong, I adore Skyrim. The graphics and environment are extremely well made, and very detailed/complexe. The game itself can be very entertaining and exploring alone gave me enough hours of enjoyment that i'm happy payin for it.

But if the world is amazingly beautifull, it is also empty of anything of substance. This is not a GOTY game. It just happens to have a very popular IP and no competition. To truely be a quality game, it would need to be a tested and polished product. As it is, this is a live Beta.


I spent over 6000 hours pretending I was an indian in the woods when I was a kid. Does that mean its a great quality game? Quantity =/= quality

In all fairness, it does try to react to players. I'll give some examples:

- leveled enchanting? "My dull old sword sure can use an enchant!"
- leveled alchemy? "Oh you're an alchemist. I could never get the hang of that."
- leveled conjuration? "Can you conjure up a warm bed for me?"
- leveled destruction? "Destruction's magic is fine. Just don't go around burning anything."
- leveled pickpocket? "Keep your hands to yourself or we're going to have a real problem."
- joined Dark Brotherhood? "Psst. I know who you are. Hail Sithis."

If you've restored the Thieves Guild in the 5 holds you will find various random thieves going around trying to steal things in Riverwood, Riften etc. When you kill dragons everyone gathers around the dragon corpse and goes, "wow I've never seen anything like that!" or "You absorbed its soul!".

However, there is is this question, how in Soverngade does every damn citizen and guard know my trade?

Hello, is it my clothes? I'm dressed like a bandit or Stormcloak officer! Which part of that gives away what I've spent my time doing? A deadric greataxe can be visibily seen across my back, my toon is dressed like a Dremora/Deadra Lord in deadric gear and no one gets all jumpy? You regular farmers, alchemists, Imperials, Stormcloaks and blacksmiths get visited by Azura, Sanguine and the entire dysfunctional family every 3rd of the month for dinner? I'm not wearing Shrouded gear, so how did you know I've joined the Dark Brotherhood? What breaks immersion is those random thieves can tell you to watch it - regardless of your contributions to the Thieves Guild or if you made guild master. Does a lowly thief talk to Vex or Tonila that way? The good folks at Riverwood can be found strolling idlely or resting their arms on the fences as a dragon is hovering above them, screaming loudly. Only when it lands and attacks do they start reacting.

I agree though, these awards are just a popularity contest. Few are concerned with the merits of the award, only that it won.

Yeah sure :rolleyes:.
