Gamespot's GOTY nominees revealed

[QUOTE="aroxx_ab"]

Have any PC exclusive ever got GOTY? :lol:

MrYaotubo

Well its unfair to say that. PC technically competes every generation, while other systems do not. A more acurate representaion would be to look and see how many each system won in each generation.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="delta3074"]Half life 2 is definitly one of those games that deserved GOTY, the games was absolutely amazing, the physics where fantastic, especially some of the puzzles and the Gravity gun was just a total game changer not to mention it had a rther good storyline.seanmcloughlin

When did you play it though? At Launch or some years later?

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] No, I agree. The only game worth winning GotY didn't even get nominated.charizard1605

Which would be? Please don't say AC III :?

Far Cry 3 is the GOTY for me

It really isn't that great. The world is boring after the first few hours, and you feel like you are doing the same thing over and over again. There is a ginat open world with not enough sandbox elements to keep me interested.

Thank the lord you said that. Thought I was gonna have to shun you :P

But it was too late in the year to be considered I would imagine. And I agree with everything else you said, not in such a fancy over hyperbolic way but still :P

I wanted to ask actually what YOU thought of FC3? or did you get a chance to play it?

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Far Cry 3. Absolutely brilliant game, surrealistic in its storytelling, and might just be my all time favorite shooter. How it did not even get nominated is beyond me.charizard1605

I think Far Cry 3 will take GS reader's choice for the year, which is a good recognition as well.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Because it's not Halo (lolHalo4) and it's not some pretentious arthouse game where you walk across sand. Next question.Ncsoftlover

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I rather disliked it :Pcharizard1605

When did you play it though? At Launch or some years later?

That's why I asked, it's hype kind of ruins it. I managed to play it at a time when I didn't know a whole lot about it having not listened to the PC scene. So I was fortunate, helped me enjoy it a hell of a lot more

I'm still not sure what my Goty is.. I keep thinking "yea, that game". But then something else flies in I also really enjoyed.freedomfreak

Cool, though I imagine it's hype and reception will taint it a bit by then, if it hasn't already.

For me, once you hunt one thing, you've hunted them all. The world did not entice me to explore it, the only reason I did was too get to more outposts. All outpost are the same, and all radio towers are the same. I wanted to put some C4 on my truck, drive it to a camp, and blow it up. But it didn't let me. The game is very limiting for the actual size. The world seems so big and beautiful, but it ends up up being empty with no real substance to explore.

Not a bad thing by any means, where you enjoyed enough games to not know which is the best overall.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Not yet. I probably will next year, but no sooner.DarkLink77

You sound like champ now :P he complained about so many of the games he bought this year too. And yeah there were some stinkers, shame you missed FC3. I bought it on a whim after reading the Eurogamer review, so glad I did. The game surprised the heck out of me.

Suppose it could swing both ways.

What was the worst game this year then ?

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] I made some poor purchasing decisions this year, so I have to live with it. I ended up buying a lot of games I didn't really like and not buying the games it turns out I actually wanted.DarkLink77

Not a year will go by where you don't buy at least one game you regret. Steam sales usually have an influx of those games for me.

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] For me it's just that there aren't that many good games this year, so I'm trying to pick the one that's the least mediocre.DarkLink77

The one that tops the list for me was AC III. God that game was such a let down. And I only have myself to blame for expecting more.

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] If I could go back and do it all again, I would not have bought SCV or Halo 4. I probably also would have made some different used purchasing decisions. Ah, well. Live and learn, right?DarkLink77

Same with AC III for me. It all Sounded very good but the more gameplay I saw I kept getting let down over and over again. What did I do? fvcking bought it anyway. Now I struggle to bring myself to finish it

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] I don't know. So many disappointments: SCV, ME3, Halo 4, Diablo III, the list goes on.DarkLink77

The one that tops the list for me was AC III. God that game was such a let down. And I only have myself to blame for expecting more.

I would have lost all respect for you if you had bought RE6 :|

I'd probably go for Trials: Evolution. It's not disappointing in the slightest. It's a platforming marvel. Sh!tload of content, accompanied by a dirt cheap DLC pack that offered even more. There's also The Witcher 2, but that doesn't really count.freedomfreak

TW2 kinda counts as a personal one for you then. Same way Dark Souls PC counts for me.

Have any PC exclusive ever got GOTY? :lol:

aroxx_ab

Bah i wanted Diablo 3 on this list:(

Yep and i only remember console GOTY´s, i asked because was lazy look it up:P

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Badosh"] Oh, well then. Yeah, I am, or was. I haven't played WoW for a month or so. Fvck that sub. Stringerboy

Of course it does. Once you realise MMO's are just grinding simulators it's hard to take them seriously.

pretty sad year if thats all we got for nominees
