There might be a few games im missing in here but from what i hear, these are the biggest ones.

Uhm..Obviously, yes.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 3:51 am

Hell yes! Game is a blast.

gameplay wise no way. No keybind hotkeys, many bugs, overpowered perks, bad lvl scaling. You have to adjust difficulty by urself by not using most created stuff and limiting your gameplay.

Quests and graphics are more intresting than in wow example. Wow should learn that 300 quests with depth is more instresting than 3000 quests with quickgrind 2min grind.

Best game I played this year. Although I have been playing a lot of older ones.

Why is this question being asked? Every single TES game won GotYs and GotYs are just popularity awards. Close thread now

The Witcher 2 would be my choice for the award.

This is totally not my type of game. Sandboxes are not in my wheelhouse at ALL and yet I can't stop playing this game. Heck, I even joined your website and I NEVER join forums!

Yes, I think it far more deserving than the other games listed.

3 years of work went into the game, and look at all that they have done with it! It's amazing. Sure, there are quite a few glitches, but in a game of this size you simply cannot expect it to be compleatly bug free.

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.

For me it's between Skyrim and Portal 2. I love Minecraft as well, but I haven't played it much since 1.8 so for me its out of the running.

December 10th, 2011 skyrim might be awarded the game of the year award. do you think it should? and if not, what game is better in your opinion?

The fact that you have a specific date suggests you're referring to a specific site or award show?

gameplay wise no way. No keybind hotkeys, many bugs, overpowered perks, bad lvl scaling. You have to adjust difficulty by urself by not using most created stuff and limiting your gameplay.

You're on the PC I assume? Favorite the items/spells you want to hotkey, then open the favorite bar, hover your mouse over something, and hit a number between 1-8.

Your yes or no poll is stupid.

You should have

Dead Island ___ Seriously are you kidding me or did you never play this game?
Dark Souls
Skyrim
Rage
Modern Warfare 3
Gears of War 3
Saints Row 3

I have to look keyboard to hit 6-8 and that's not enough. I need for mage about 30 hotkeys. I want seperate hotkeys for them too.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 12:09 pm

You're kind of polling the choir here but yeah! I waited all year for this game and I'm having a blast. The Batman game has sixist elements so it's a no on that one. I can't think of any other game that drew me in so it's Skyrim all the way.

:tes:

I cannot fathom how MW3 could even attempt getting GOTY.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:11 am

Best game I've played for a long time so... yes.

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:06 pm

I think the fact that it shows that huge single player games can still dominate in the modern market, without multiplayer and succeed makes it worthy in that sense alone.

I totally agree. Although I do wish there was a way I could show my friends my character (other then taking a pic with my cell phone)

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:26 pm

No

Dark Souls for me.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 3:44 am

Shouldn't we wait for the year to end before speculating on The Game of the Year?

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 12:35 pm

YES! :thumbsup:

Well, they will not be getting a vote from me unless patch 1.3 turns out to be something significant, as in people able to play the game without it CTD every 10 minutes, this is a poor release and needs addressing to win back confidence.
