There is no other option than skyrim. it is indeed the best game of the year. People dont just vote for skyrim because they think everyone is going to vote for skyrim. People vote for skyrim because it is easily the best game of the year.

Skyrim, no contest.

Granted there were alot of good games ruffling around this year, I feel Skyrim outshined 'em all. Can't wait for the the tools releasing in jan.

I'm just going to rant about how GOTY is stupid rather than write something and add "no contest" or "hands down". If you don't want to read why I think it's stupid then just pass over my comment; I'm not trying to start an argument.

GOTY is incredibly subjective and an absolutely useless designation. GOTY is subjective because picks are based off of the enjoyment that you had while playing the game. Since different people enjoy different types of games, they aren't objective in their evaluation. In addition, your opinion can even change depending on when you play a game and how the structure of the game fits into your lifestyle and what you're looking for to fill your time. Furthermore, you can't choose one game as the best of the year when you have played a minuscule portion of the games released during the year. Since the majority of people only play the biggest-named releases that are hyped up, they'll choose one of those as their GOTY. GOTY is useless because unless you're living under a rock, you would have played the game or heard all about it by now. Therefore, it doesn't help anyone find a new game to play or do anything besides have fanboys argue.

While a Top X (say 15) games of the year is also incredibly subjective, it has the potential to be more useful. You can ascertain the writer's subjective bias from a sample of the list and then make assumptions about the games you don't know much about on the list. Also, you can get an idea of what games he's tried and what consoles he's sampled from. The length of the list helps filter out people who have only played a handful of games: probably all big-name titles.

Nevermind. Ski Region Simulator -- 2011 GOTY. No contest.

None really stand out for me, all the games are just improved sequels... but somethings gotta be chosen. Nothing shines like Uncharted 2 or bioshock from previous years.

What about skyward sword?
Didn't it get perfect reviews on almost every major gaming website?

What other game has done that EVER, let alone this year?

My vote goes for Arkham City. Skyrim is great, fun, exciting, infinitely replayable, and cool as hell, but Batman Arkham City, is probably the greatest single player experience I've ever had, and I still have not finished the game (40% story, doing side missions etc.)

Other candidates in my opinion, would be Deus Ex:HR and Witcher 2.

I'd say Skyrim. Portal 2 was the highest quality, most polished game and I loved it, but it just lacks the massive scale and timesink value that Skyrim has. The world is beautiful, it is most deserving of the games there. Though something is to be said for those with amazing multiplayer (BF3).

KH3 For next year''s GOTY!!!!...............I wish it would be made at least......

I've gotta give it to Skyrim. Portal 2 was really good as well, Gears 3 was I suppose technically the best Gears game but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two. BF3 wasn't very good, and most of the other major releases I either haven't played enough to form an educated opinion or haven't played at all.

It's been really great year for games... Portal 2, Witcher 2, Skyrim... my pick is Skyrim. I would like to play Arkham city and Uncharted before I make my mind thou.

multiplayer bf3
singleplayer skyrim

hands down no contest at all. its been ages since the last time a game sucked me in that much that i want to stop all rl stuff and just play play play. and it does that while beeing fun all the time.

portal2 was grreat but just cant compete with the giant "here we have a giant fantasy world, have fun yo" of skyrim.

havent played batman arkham city yet (again cause of skyrim). think it would be a top contender also,atleast judging by the first game and the reviews. tho i think the release date hugely hurted the game esp on pc


Deus ex hr is worth mentioning too but its not quite up there with the others(yet way better then most). witcher 2 i didnt play since witcher 1 was the only rpg ever i deinstalled after only like 80minutes of playing it.

Not that reviews mean anything, but Gamespot gave it a 7.5. Far from perfect.

In my opinion it would be between Skyrim and Portal 2. I didn't play any multiplayer games that came out this year, I didn't have any interest in any of them.

So far I played a lot of Skyrim, but if I look at my Steam account I have still played Terraria a lot more. I do realize it has been released earlier than Skyrim, but after the release of patch 1.1 for Terraria I went back to playing that.

So my vote goes to Terraria.

But as with every vote, it's based on personal preference.

So amazing how you can contradict yourself in just two sentences lol.

Kinda sad to see Oblivion HD or Deus Ex 3(/5) getting goty but i guess there is nothing better available nowadays for the mainstream consumer. Well at least we won't get a shitty console shooter.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Definitely Bastion. I wouldn't consider it perfect (some needlessly frustrating challenges, and a couple of odd moments), but overall it felt so fresh and exciting that I was really impressed. I want to play more games that are short and perfectly formed, instead of big for the sake of being big.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

skyrim is so boring, dunno why everyone has a boner for it. Everytime I try to pick it up to try and justify my 60 dollars on it, I can barely play for more then a half an hour. there's just no motivation to do anything and just too much shit to keep track of. UI interface is god awful as well.

not even going to mention all the choppy lag and other technical problems.
