Gears I guess. It didn't really innovate anything and frankly I spent most of the time playing the game thinking about how it managed to score above an 8.5 since there wasn't anything else to think about with those characters and plot.
It's funny, I think MGS4 did not deserve a 10, and I dislike the game, but it definitely deserved GOTY as it took cinematic gaming to new heights and had a lot of aspects that make it worthy of the title. It's not my personal GOTY, but I expect those to differ more often than not. I'd have to say Demon's Souls, it honestly was a great game, but it was nothing special at all.
Runners-up: SoulCalibur-Deserves it, just not as much as most of the others, Chrono Cross-same thing.

That is exactly the type of thing that I was going to post next. Here's the point, if you didnt like an amazing game, thats fine, but just because the game isnt for you then it doesnt mean that it doesnt deserve the accolades it got. Because in the end, nearly every critic (and myself) thought that MGS4 should be GOTY. Finally there is someone in SW who gets this point. Great job rolo107, you have won the System War for today.
I cannot remember what games where released in what year so I'm just gonna point the one's that look dubious to me. Serious Sam, MGS4 and Demon's Souls.
I bet you MGS4 is gonna be voted the most. All the MGS haters have been itching for such a thread to be made :PII_Seraphim_II
actually, i haven't seen too many votes for it. surprisingly, demon's souls got more than a couple. i personally loved that title. i voted mgs4, but only because, for me, i enjoyed fallout 3 much more. i thought mgs4 was a good game, just not my goty.

He would if he didn't go on to claim that Demon's souls was "nothing special".
To deny that it was a great comeback to old school style and a breath of fresh air in our handholding-modern game industry filled with regenerative health shooters is blasphemy deserving a thousand deaths. How can anyone with half a brain not see the quality of this game?
It's okay to not like it, it was a very much love or hate kind of game. But he went on to do exactly the opposite of what you thought he did, which means he discredited a game he didn't like for GOTY of a site.
(yes there is a little sarcasm in there about demon'sssssssss souls fans, don't flame me, I plat'd the game :D Loved it too. I'm still surprised to see how many people hated it here considering the "hardcoreness" of this place)

That is kind of my situation, except replace Fallout 3 with LBP.
