I also think this. I just got Skyrim because of the hype, but really I didn't enjoy the game. I played it, it was fun with a wide open world, but I didn't enjoy it. But I don't see anything topping it. It was hyped to hell and back again. -.-

They might as well hand out next years GOTY award to Blizzard now. Diablo is a little lucky to be avoiding all these powerhouse games this year. I don't expectthe pool next year to be nearly as deep.


Mass Effect 3 comes out next year though. On the other hand Blizzard has like 3 shots at GotY. HotS, Diablo 3, and WoW expansion.

in terms of popularity every game is a joke compared to d3, even HoTS


The entire Diablo series including all expansions has only sold 20 million copies. Feel free to have a look at the best selling video game series and you'll see many things are far more popular.

yes but diablo is PC-only, a lot of games get most of their sales from console. Considering within just the PC domain I think it's pretty high up.


Incorrect, Diablo I was also released on the Playstation.

The first 2 also came out in an age where far fewer people played games in general.

Super Mario Brothers, 40.24 million copies sold, released in 1985. Excluding Wii Sports, it remains the best selling game of all time.

Minecraft will hands down win, since it officially just released.

Otherwise Skyrim. Deus Ex gets an honorable mention in my book too.
really?

You argue that it is boring because of repetition? I can argue that this game is FAR from repetitive because it allows you to be basically any class you want. So you can kill them with magic, weapons, stealth mode, tanks mode, bare fist, archery anything....I dont see how that repetitive. I dont see what more you would want...

lvl system is mainly the player opinion. It make the player want to try new thing and explores the game. Sure, it can be broken but that why it is a one player game. Although I personally like it.

I find the voice acting to be amazingly good and the freedom to basically do what ever you want. It makes you want to explore and travel and discover all of skyrim. That is what it means to be a good RPG.

Better AI? It incredibly hard to make AMAZING AI, I think the AI in this game are already good. You must not play alot of these game so you dont understand how hard it is to make a good AI.

Anyways, your main concern is bugs and bugs can be fix with patches. There we go, GOTY right there.

You list alot of flaws but you dont list what can be improved. I dont really see what more you can ask for....


Also there's basically no balance. Stealth Archer with Blacksmithing & Enchanting. Everything dies in 2-3 hits even on master vs S&B.


Then dont play it that way?
If you want it to be harder, you dont use the overpowered stuff.
Blacksmithing and enchanting is pretty much broken, but its pretty easy to just ignore those skills. Its a single player game, you make your own rules.


I'm actually that S&B guy I mentioned A friend of mine plays the Stealth Archer.
"But then dont play it that way" - well you're of course right it's better for the personal experience. But that logic can be applied to multiple other games / scenarios. And it doesnt change that it's bad design.

deus ex and portal were solid but not amazing

skyrim is awesome but so much of my hopes still ride on future modding

minecraft sorely lacks terraria's content but gains major points by virtue of being first and having a 3rd dimension. (i can only imagine how awesome a 3D terraria would be)

bastion was meh

I havent played any of the console heavy hitters

SO my GOTY vote goes to games still in development (dota2, dcss, dwarf fortress). game of the year, every year.

it's my first day

Skyrim, or more to the point, Bethesda gets what RPGs are all about. Graphical glitches, bugs, sub-optimal AI all means shit compared to IMMERSION and Skyrim got tons of that, and in the end that's all that counts.

I can't see any other game winning it.

It's not even a competition.

Skyrim with a marginal lead. Developers take notes on how to develop a passion for a game. Oh wait, nevermind all you have to is copy paste a formula 15 year olds love for 7 games in a row. My bad.

Skyrim is the game of the last three years probably. This is going to be the least interesting year ever for GOTY discussions because it's all going to be unanimous. The poll on the first page of this thread doesn't lie.

Idk I haven't played all the games on the list but Skyrim was the first Role playing game ive played and i really enjoyed it. The first fifty hours went stupid fast, I mean it was crazy lol. I also really enjoyed portal 2 alot but i hate to say i was disappointed in the difficulty of the game. Anyway I did vote for Skyrim cause it pulled me in and its a game i could play many times over.
