In your opinion (!), what's the worst game that GS has ever awarded goty?

Demons Souls is by no means the worst game to win Goty, but it wasn't even the best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age was by far better, and to cross genres Uncharted 2 was also better. But still not as good as Dragon Age.

Shoaka

I agree, I personally thought uncharted 2 should have won GOTY.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]Quick question (and maybe TC should ask it in the OP) if a certain game was not worthy of that game of the year, than what game during that year was a better pick in your eyes?Master_ShakeXXX

That's a great question. Added.

Demon souls . The game was made for masochistic psychos who would have been better off just giving the money to a dominatrix . ( yes i couldn't beat the first level . yes mad )

Great to hear you're giving it another shot. Demon's Souls was kind of the same way for me at first. First few times I played it I got pissed off sooooo much. I logged onto GS and started complaining on the Demon's Souls message board about how rediculously unfair and stupid the game was, how overrated and a big waste of money it was.

The people on the DS board however explained to me (some of them weren't nice about it, lol) that I was playing it wrong, that I needed to give the game another chance and take it slow. Thank god I listened, because I tried it again (at a much slower pace), I started getting used to the admittedly steep difficulty, and I fell in love with the game. I honestly HATED it at first, but I fell in love with it and to this day it's one of my favorites. Holy crap that would have sucked if I never gave it a second chance (not saying you will experience the same though)

^ Play Okami, it only gets better. You will love it :PGiancar

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]Demons Souls, by FAAARRR. That game is terrible!enterawesome

Really? I can understand you not getting into it... but you really believe it was TERRIBLE?

I kind of already posted this, but I felt the same way about it at first. It's fine if you don't like it, but I highly recommend you give it another go, because you MAY start to see it's charm, and fall in love with it. I know I did. Ok, I have been defending Demon's Souls long enough :lol:

WoW was nothing new or special, but Gears was just boring, even on co-op, which is a pretty hard thing to do. So I'd say GeoW.

Serious Sam is fun, but definitely not GotY fun I'd say, so that.

I was all prepared to say Demon's Souls, but I conpletely forgot that Serious Sam (!?!?) has co-GOTY honors. So in that case...Demon's Souls,

I forgot to add which game I would prefer to have seen won. Well for 2004 I would have much preferred to see Metal Gear Solid 3 win over WOW. 2006 is a tough one, because I can't remember playing very many games from that year. I suppose it would be between Resistance: Fall of Man and Halo 3.

*punches self in face*

Ok, that settles it. R:FOM was my 2006 goty. Yeah, go on and laugh...

WoW easily.

I pretty much agree with all of GS' GOTY's except for MGSIV, which should have been given to LBP. Although, I haven't played, DS so I can't say if it really was better that U2.

Unlike most people, I agree with WOW GOTY. The huge impact it had, and still has is more than enough for it to deserve it, I think. I think the only other competition it had was Half Life 2?

WOW & Demon Souls

MGS4 is even worse.

That post makes no sense. MGS design was old, but WoW design was new? How come? It's one of the most generic MMORPG's out there, it did absolutely NOTHING new.

Other MMOs often fail to keep up with consistent quality.

If someday Blizzard makes a stealth game, they will look at MGS or others in the genre and perfected it and be the best in the genre. That's how they operate and I have a confidence that they can.

Wind Waker. KOTOR annihilates it, and should have won GOTY that year.

Gears of War.

Also The Sims. It's 2000, the year Deus Ex was released.

I would say wow, Half life 2 should have won

HL2 did too for FPS but overall, WoW just had more impact.

Gears of War.

It's a solid game but it's not GOTY material by any means. Very little variety, it's just a solid albeit repetitive shooting game. The fact that GS gave Twilight Princess an 8.8 and gave GoW GOTY in the same year really speaks for how screwy they can be.

Anything but MGS4 and Demon's Souls:)Deathtransit

Wait did I say Gears of War? Nevermind, Metal Gear Solid 4. Ridiculously overhyped and inferior in most ways to MGS3.

Gears of war is by far the worst.

I thought Crysis had won a Goty too. lolshane_orija

Wind Waker. I never really thought it was all that great. Boring dungeons (one of them even unfinished), stupid fetch quests, and too little progression from OoT ruined it for me, despite the great graphics and fun sailing concept.

MGS4.

I don't disagree with a lot of those, but I didn't like how WoW (possibly the least fun game on the list, and the most derivative?) won over HL2 (which was quite revolutionary for its time). WoW gets my vote.Planeforger

Half-Life 2? Revolutionary?

It was the original Half-Life minus the boss battles but with state of the art graphics. The epitome of linear shooters, but hardly revolutionary.

Not a fan of WoW by any stretch, but it certainly has had the single biggest impact on the industry in the last decade. And it's a pretty decent game.
