Game of the Year

ShadowFold · Sep 15, 2008

Anyone got any predictions as to what game is gonna get GoTY? My guess is Fallout 3, too bad GSC didnt pay reviews enough to get good scores tho, that would probably get it!

Conti027 · Sep 15, 2008

what got GoTY last year?

ShadowFold · Sep 15, 2008

CoD4 I'm pretty sure, cause they have the GoTY edition at gamestop.

Conti027 · Sep 15, 2008

ugg.. It was an okay game but idk..
Well i guess Fall Out 3 or FarCry2 or along thos lines

farlex85 · Sep 15, 2008

From who, there's lots of GOTY elections. I think Bioshock got many last year, Crysis got some others, and COD4 on some others. My vote this year would probably be between Mass Effect, The Witcher, and probably (hopefully) Fallout 3. The year of the "mature" RPG. :rockout:

Triprift · Sep 15, 2008

Spores my pick.

NinkobEi · Sep 15, 2008

can we nominate CoD 4 again? hasnt really been an outstanding game this year...Starcraft 2 already has it wrapped up for next year. Diablo 3 the year after that.

AsRock · Sep 15, 2008

GOTY is BS anyways. becouse people buy a game it don't mean it's any good. Be better if you said TPU's GOTY as long as the people have played it

.

NinkobEi · Sep 15, 2008

was bioshock this year? I thought that came out last year...yeah that will win it if its nominated. for sure

Triprift · Sep 15, 2008

Bioshck was last year i was also thinking UT3 even tho that could of been last year too hmmm.

CrackerJack · Sep 15, 2008

my vote would be GRID or Assassin's Creed

GRID is great, but Assassins Creed was to repetative

I personally think it will be Fallout 3

How can a game get goty when its not even out yet?

Jmatt110 · Sep 15, 2008

Here's what I think will get nominations and awards:
Assassin's Creed
Far Cry 2
Crysis Warhead
Fallout 3
Call of Duty: World at War
WoW: The Wrath of the Lich King
The Witcher? (Damn good game, can it get GOTY twice since they re-released it?)

Thats just for awards/nominations for GOTY (for PC). There;s heaps of other games coming out this year that I really want, Dead Space, Prince of Persia etc.

eidairaman1 · Sep 15, 2008

nothing has been able to be Claimed GOTY status really since when UT99 came out.

Deleted member 24505 · Sep 15, 2008

I reckon left 4 dead will win it though seriously,that game is gonna rock :rockout:

The first stalker was more than worthy after a few months of patches.. Tho, I never encounter these show stopping bugs that people talk about. They must try and look for them or something.. Tho I do know some people really do get screwed over tho.

dng29 · Sep 15, 2008

i vote for CoD5. i have a feeling spore will be game of the year. crysis:warhead got a 9/10 rating, wow.

Widjaja · Sep 15, 2008

If the GoTY is based on sales then Spore will get GoTY.
But I think Fallout 3 is a big contender for GoTY too.

Chryonn · Sep 15, 2008

i always see more than one GotY on sale, are you sure it's not rigged?

Kreij · Sep 15, 2008

Various sites give multiple GOTY awards by genre. So there is RPG GOTY, shooter GOTY, etc.
Most sights and mags give an overall GOTY also, but there will always be a GOTY edition even if it a genre win.

farlex85 · Sep 15, 2008

The GOTY editions will usually say game of the year from which publications gave them the award. All of the major game sites do it, as do the magazines, there is no collective game of the year award that I know of.

Call of Dudy 5 is probably gonna be one of the worse games of year, it is being developed by Treyarch. They were the ones who made Call of Duty 3 and that game was garbage. I wish Infinity ward was making it. The only hope I am giving for the game is if they build it on the Call of Duty 4 engine, then it might be okay.

JC316 · Sep 15, 2008

Bioshock got it last year from PC gamer and COD4 got it from IGN.com. This year? Who knows, maybe Crysis Warhead.

dave08 · Sep 15, 2008

I think Farcry2 will be GOTY, from all what seen in videos and gameplay it looks epic.
