How can you chose a GOTY if the year is not over yet?

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:04 pm

Only a matter of time before the awards start flooding in. Sure, there are issues. But looking past them it is a simply spectacular game.

..that's a joke right?

Runner Ups:
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception -- 15%
Batman: Arkham City -- 15%
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword -- 10%
Dark Souls -- 3%
Others -- 2%

Seriously? Wow, no competition.

Well, apparently, a large number of PS3 users can't look past them.

Doubts must now be raised as to Skyrim's status as the game most likely to scoop all those lucrative 'Game of the Year' awards.

Uh... no, it's not. The year is not over yet.

Peoples ignorance of the PS3 issue astounds me. It has nothing to do with Bethesdas game, it has everything to do with the PS3's horrid memory allocation. That's not Bethesdas fault. Mass Effect has the same issue.

@Komodo Saurian, what other games are coming out this year that are going to remotely compete with anything on that list? All of the big name games are out. That's what "release dates" are for. So yes, it's time to judge GOTY.

Yea those numbers look um ... A bit skewed.

Prescience.

Really? What big title game are you yearning to see in the next 3 weeks that will blow everything else out of the water?

Other than Star Wars: The Old Republic, I haven't heard of anything.

Bethesda is not off the hook simply because the ps3 has a more difficult API. Lol what are you smoking?

Bethesda should hand you the microphone and turn on the amp.
So you could speak out to the ignorant masses, you know.

It's because, as far as anyone that cares is concerned, the big titles have already been released. Nothing major is scheduled for the remaining 2.5 weeks of the year. So, if the titles are already here, start voting.

And they'll be fixed, or at least improved. I know it svcks, and it's really frustrating for them, but we kind of know why it happens now. Bit of the engine, bit of how the system handles memory.

And I take everything that comes out of IGNs mouth with a grain of salt to be honest.

:wacko:

So it's okay to give out awards before everyone participates?

Bethesda releasing a game that doesn't work properly on the PS3 is not Sony's fault. I'm not even a PS3 player and I'm aware of the fact that the PS3 has been out well before Skyrim started coding for it. There are plenty of games that work just fine on the PS3. As a platform, it may have stupid design decisions, but it still works. It's up to the developer to develop a game that can adequately use the platform that they are releasing for.

Plenty of people have written games that work just fine on the PS3, which is proof that it can be done. Bethesda's failure to do that is Bethesda's failure.

What game as big as Skyrim (or even remotely) works "just fine" without memory allocation FPS lag on the PS3? The only two games that compare DO have the lag issue. So it's a problem with the console.

RDR?

And even so, if you can't make your game fit on a platform, then don't try. I don't see assassin's creed coming out for the Wii.

As a game producer though, a company can not release a product certified for ps3 and then said product breaks due to ps3 underpinnings. That is fraud.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 8:36 am

Love the game but it was rushed and has been only out less than a month. Doesn't deserve GOTY from the hype and sales when it's unplayable for a large number of people. I'm playing now pre patch 1.2 and avoiding things to break a quest. That's not how a GOTY is played.

Also anyone thinking they didn't know about the PS3 issue before shipping is lying to themselves.

RDR is nowhere near as large as Skyrim in terms of content. I do agree that if something cannot be made to work on a platform then it should no be released on a platform. The issue is, what did Sony pay Bethesda even though they new (most likely) this was an issue?

I wouldn't call it fraud.
Especially since it's a forum user not Bethesda making the claims and blaming the ps3.
Now, if Beth were to make such a claim, one would see how easy it is to lose hardearned credibility.

Well, yea but assume on official investigation is launched and it determines company did certify for platform x and company had prior knowledge of product failure due to platform x. The end user who has bought product for platform x has become a victim of fraud.

Again this is all pointless dribble anyway because all we can do is speculate.

Being as Sony issued the final certification for THEIR platform, Bethesda would not be guilty of fraud.
