Game of the Year Nominees:

Multiplat -- Assassin's Creed 3

Multiplat -- Dishonored

PS3 -- Journey

Multiplat -- Mass Effect 3

Multiplat -- The Walking Dead: The Game

What do you think of the nominees? Lems does it hurt not to have Halo 4 be nominated? Cows, feel good with dat Journey nod? Mainstream corrupt media?

------------

Handheld GOTY Link

Three Vita games > One 3DS game. Sorry sheep.

------------

Remember, the VGAs suck until your console's games get nominated.

Nice to see my game of the year on the list. It would be even nicer for it to win. I'd rather it see it win on Gamespot, though. It has a better chance here than there.

Rooting for Assassin's Creed III at the moment. Dishonored would be my runner up. I'm surprised Halo 4 isn't on the list though. I'm not much of a Halo fan and even I want to play the campaign.

List is ok. Give it to Dishonored. Nice to see that game on the list. As far as the handheld nominees, LMAO!!! Are they serious with that list? Those Vita games suck outside of LBP. They need to really look at the E-shop and not just retail.

Go Walking Dead! Love that series. :D

Journey and Mass Effect also should have a shot at it. Planning to get both AC3 and Dishonored, too.

Like you and the haters, gametrailers must be butthurt too! :lol:

Halo 4 is the best FPS game this year bar none.

1. It didn't flop

2. No it didn't

3. Multiplayer is better than FOD

4. More than any game on PSN

5. GS scores 9.0 > 8.0

6. etc.

Everyone knows SPIKE TV is Playstation lovers. It's common knowledge. Isn't there a SPIKE TV app on PSN? I wonder how much Sony paid them to include Journey on that list?

Bunch of opinions bro. The shortness of the campaign really got to you, didn't it? 1. It did flop. It was the worst reviewed main series Halo. Both at metacritic and Gamespot. 2. It sucked, the cows have told me this, so I must agree with them. As I am a cow. 3. FOD, dunno what that is, but carry on. I guess it's better than that. 4. PSN? Where did I mention PSN? I'm talking about xbl, where it's already beaten again by CoD 5. I'd rather play a lower scoring game. At least with that, I know the media wasn't paid off. 6. etc.

So just like GEOW3 wasn't nominated last year, they're walking pass H4 this year as well huh? I guess nominating inevitable wins would be pretty unfair.

Decent list. Would have been better if Borderlands 2 was in there in place of AC3 though. ME3's ending alone disqualifies it for being GOTY for me, so would have liked to seen Mark of the Ninja in there since that's incredibly well received.

A game that is hyped AAA that scores a AAA rating (in this case a 9.0) is not a flop, no matter how it is spun.

AAA is AAA is AAA.

i dont hate it. i just think there are a few games that was better. it was awesome but kinda short and easy. xcom came out the same day and i think thats a much better game, which is why i said it deserved to be nominated over dishonored.

Year of the Multiplats confirmed?

lx_theo

Year of the bad confirmed. Seriously, is this the worst year in the history of gaming? At least modern gaming... Dishonoured is probably the best game of the year, and it wouldn't make it into any top 5 list of ANY year this generation, except perhaps 2006.. but after Oblivion, Gears, Zelda TP and Okami.. Journey is pretty damn awesome, but its "just another 9.0" that comes and goes every few months. The rest have been slight disappointments, despite scoring high (Black Ops 2, Assains's Creed III, Halo 4, Twisted Metal.. etc). Even Diablo III which I've been hyping for over a decade turned out pretty average.. Holy moley what a garbage year...! I was hoping to see Heart of the Swarm, The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Metal Gear Rising + more games this year.. Oh well. Not a single 9.5 game either..
