Firstly, im just gonna assume you all saw the amazing new gameplay trailer for Skyrim.... in fact today, you are probably tired of all the skyrim hyping threads. Yeah, well that wont stop me.....cus today i love hyping Skyrim!!!

But see that is what surprises me....I did not expect this game to blow me away the way it did. It has set a new bar for the other games this year I think...in my personal opinion no other title has yet proven they can be more epic than this game. I am sure they could be, but they have to prove it to me!

But i digress.....I find when it all comes down to it, Mass Effect, Uncharted, and Skyrim are going to be the very definition of saving the best for last....they are probably the three most hyped up games of the year (for better or worse) and will be the three games most likely to be stealing the GOTY show.

Question is, which one is hyping you up better? That may be cruel to make you decide, but factof matter is its very very likely all three of these games are November titles and will be duking it out....which will stand as the winner, in your prediction? Its tough call, but just make a logical prediction.

As a side note, I state this topic the way I do because Skyrim has some incredible competiton. Oblivion was arguably the best RPG known to man but has also been out of the spotlight for a long time. I dont think pure nostalgia for Oblivion is going to help Skyrim beat ME3 and Uncharted. However, its trailer certainly proves theres more to the game than nostalgic value!

Uncharted 3 for sure, probably Mass Effect 3, and hell no for Skyrim.

Uncharted 3 is the one I am hyping the most easily. That said Skyrim is shaping u to be something special no doubt, and I am hoping they deliver with it, cause Oblivion was not that great IMO. ME I still need to play (1 and 2) so I cant really pass judgement on 3.

ME3 is by far my most looked forward to game. Uncharted and Skyrim are high up there though.

Mass Effect 3 is my top pick. Skyrim is second, i loved Oblivion, but it beat it pretty quick so eh. Uncharted looks cool, but i didn't enjoy the second all that much .

you better jump on the Mass Effect bandwagon, cus ur really missing out.....but thats just my opinion......u know, i agree with ur Oblivion comment a bit, I played it and didnt get the same sense of enjoyment i thought i would, but that was also because i first touched it last year and the engine used in Oblivion is extremely dated and unimpressive now. But that is also why i was so blown away by Skyrim. When fallout 3 got a sequel, it looked exactly the same! On the contrary here, Skyrim looks like not just a sequel but a total overhaul of epic proportions....despite my lack of care for Oblivion a bit, I am more than happy to hype Skyrim.

Well, I am fully expecting it to be the one game to rule them all for me this year. With maybe the exception of Dark Souls, which I think will be right up there for me as well. The bottom line is that this is The Elder Scrolls, and I know that it is guaranteed to give me hundreds of hours of enjoyment and I will still be going back to play it years from now. That is not something I can say for most games and that is what sets this series apart for me.

Uncharted 3 and Mass Effect 3 will be the games that'll end up scoring more, selling more. Thus being more critically acclaimed titles.

I'm sure Skyrim will be great though........just not UC3 or ME3 great :D

I ACTUALLY COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.....well, maybe i would put BF3 as the fourth title, i dont see BF3 as better than the other three but will be a game to get for sure! I am a hardcore ME fan, cant help myself......so just like being a New Yorker obliges me to like the Yankees, being an ME lover obliges me to like ME3 more than anything, haha

its honestly a good year to be a PS3 owner, cus u can own all three of those orgasmic titles on the same console now...that is where the Mass Effect porting really pays off

I ussually dont resond to templars, being an assassin and all, :) but in this case, my answer is yes, it will crush Uncharted and NO it cant touch Mass Effect. obviously all opinion based.

Skyrim, I say this after playing oblivion consistently since launch, ME3 and UC3 will be good for about a month or two but Skyrim will keep on giving for a good year or 2. I hear people saying that srory wise Elder scrolls games arent that engrossing which is true but to me the sheer amount of content, exploration side quests ( Dark brotherhood questline) is what will make Skyrim memorable

i think we can mostly all agree that the four games will be the most powerful titles this xmas....i have no lack of respect for Gears and Batman but these four are the ones that matter i think....but i think of the four BF3 is the weakest only in respect to which of the four will most likely not win GOTY

You better hold your tongue, assassini! Gears will be great but definitley wont be the GOTY winner, simply because games like that just never win. If batman isnt in the running for GOTY this year, i will be very surprised. Batman will do great im sure! Only those two titles are just not in the same league as BF3, ME3, Skyrim, and UC3....i meanbatman reaks with quality but just it doesnt have the advantage of being an incredibly well established franchise like the other four do, ya know?

Skyrim, but I'm an avid TES fan. I enjoyed ME1, but never got ME2, and only scarcly played UC1, so my vote is slightly biased.

I'm most excited for Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Gears 3. Mass Effect 3 I will wait for until 2012. I love bioware games, I held off on the first two Mass Effects because they announced it as a trilogy. I don't do well with cliff hangers.. So I will play all three on my PC in order sometime next year. Bliss.

After that trailer, Skyrim became my most anticipated game. Mass Effect 3 isn't too far behind.

well ME games sort of had cliffhangers, but they were very well done and very easy to accept... because the two endings both suggested the story wasnt over and more was to come, but also the main problem in the games plot was always solved in the end anyways. Do yourself a favor, tomorrow go to Best buy and pick the two games up.....you will be paying fourty bucks for two of the greatest games this gen

Skyrim will easily beat ME3 and UC3, which have sequels every 1-2 years , while Skyrim is a true evolution.

but both of the games are just trilogies, they dont have like yealy installments or anything....both of them only had two titles released thus far, skyrim has had many more and if u count fallout, bethesda basically releases an RPG every year or so almost

Pumble Uncharted and Mass Effect? Why pick games not even in the same genure? Shouldn't you have said Dragon Age 2 and Fable 3 instead of an action adventure and shooter?

why would I? those two games have no relevance to the fact that these three games are basically all coming out in about November, are highly anticipated, have 100% chances of being GOTY contenders, and it will be interesting to see which one turns out the best....comparing Skyrim to other games by genres is for another day

You mispelled illusion with evolution.

Speaking strictly fact based, the difference from Oblivion - Skyrim is considerably larger than the difference from ME1-ME2 or UC1-UC2.

This is speaking gfx and gameplay.

I'm more hyped for Uncharted 3, because I'm sure it will be about as good as Uncharted 2. Whereas I have huge doubts with Skyrim, but if by some miracle they actually hit all the right notes...Uncharted might as well not even exist.

Skyrim is going to DESTROY ERYTHANG!!!

Mass Defect 2 was proof that BioWare just want to move on from the RPG genre entirely. I'm not ruling out Mass Effect 3 by any means. BioWare may come to their senses and make a good sequel. I don't hate ME2 but it felt like ME1 with a mid-life crisis.

But man oh man, I see Skyrim taking the cake in November. Bethesda do not disappoint. Between Dark Souls and Skyrim I doubt I'm going to be playing anything else for a long, long time. These are RPGs in their truest and purest forms. I don't see Uncharted 3 or Mass Effect 3 doing anything to stop Bethesda's upcoming game from stealing the show, barring a delay to 2012, of course.

Still on a TBA 2011 schedule. I just hope it doesn't release near Skyrim. I want both, but I'd hate to have to choose.

For me

Skyrim>Uncharted 3>Mass Effect 3

I haven't played Mass Effect yet so that is why it is last. Although, I loved the demo, so I wouldn't count it out when I do get my hands on it.

DerpyMcDerp

CIassy. Adding the .5 at the end.

A brand new game built around a new engine with a bunch of gameplay variety shown in the trailer is 4.5. I take it you're not an Elder Scrolls fan.
