should skyrim get the game of the year award?

While it is a great game. It lacks polish and refinement. I'm going with Uncharted 3. It takes gaming to a whole new level of perfection.

I voted Skyrim. Those other games don't even interest me.

It is a good game but I would prefer it if such an Award was given to innovative titles instead of one of the various series with minor improvments to their predecessors.
I dont know if there is such a Title, if there isnt Skyrim should have a chance I guess.
There are other good series like "Total War" and "Battlefield" which had releases this year, id say it would be close.

Is this a serious question?

Yes.

No contest.

Can any other game offer nearly infinite replayability, as well as 300+ hours of content one ONE CHARACTER, excluding full exploration, RP'ing, etc.

Shogun: TW does.
Online shooters probably as well.

How does Dead Island have this many votes? That game was nowhere near as good as Skyrim.

For me the only game close is Deus Ex: Human Revolution

No way. It's just an enhanced Oblivion, and as awesome as that alone might be, it could have been so much more and does nothing to deserve game of the year. Making a huge open-world is nothing. The challenge is in making it consistent and making it change in line with the player's choices. Did they accomplish that? Not really. You have to just pretend that you aren't hearing the NPCs say utterly illogical things constantly to maintain suspension of disbelief. That's not to mention the inexcusable technical issues plaguing the game's release on all platforms.

But will it get game of the year? Almost certainly. Can't argue with relentless hype from a pathetic mainstream gaming press after all.

The Witcher 2 deserves the game of the year, because once again, not only did the developers make sure the game was polished not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of inner-logic, an effort Bethesda will never make with Skyrim. They'll leave that to the modders. The Witcher 2 also received God knows how many new features, including entirely new game modes, for free. CD Projekt are a developer who genuinely cares, and they deserve their game to win Game of the Year. It won't though.

I wanted it to be a GOTY game.. but I doubt it will be.

Arkham City didn't release with tons of bugs and texture issues, and it is a focused game and good at what it's trying to be.

Skyrim DID release with tons of bugs and texture issues. It also has quite a few poorly implemented and/or unnecessary features (marriage, bad perks/trees, horrendous balance issues, companions, etc).

Arkham City is simply a more polished game, and it shows. I'm hoping that Skyrim doesn't get GOTY simply because I hate how popular the whole "finish the game after release" fad is getting and Bethesda being awarded for it will simply make other companies follow their example.


This x2.

The Witcher 2 is alright but it's an extremely limiting game for an RPG

You've got zero character customization, your weapon selection is extremely limited (swords are the only thing worth using), there aren't any classes and most characters end up being the same, etc.

I think Dark Souls and Skyrim should share the award. Both are incredible at what they do.

GOTY means very little Skyrim will get at least one so will most games including Minecraft

also you forgot Batman in there that would get my vote.

I like how Skyward Sword is conspicuously absent from the poll.

My vote still goes for Skyrim though. Alot of things wrong with it, but its still the best out of the list.

It shouldn't get an award. At least not a positive award, anyway.
