skyrim is goty

[Slick5150]

yeh and did you see some of their other "winners" and I use the term extremely loosely..

fuck Spike.. they are obviously PAID for like every other review...

seriously Portal2 best PC game and best multiplayer? are you fucking shitting me?

I dunno, I don't think I had more fun with a PC title this year than Portal 2. It's a fantastic game all the way around.

Just like all awards and award shows, they do not really matter to the consumer. Why does anyone really care who won when we can buy and enjoy multiple games? I enjoy Skyrim and if it was the 100th best game of 2011 or the 1st, it just matters that I'm having fun.

you and the other 5000 people that liked it..

it was garbage.. more of the same BS game that was the first one..

trash. with a halfassed coop put on top of mediocre game.
another game that has been influenced by the consolization of the entire video game industry..

 

[StinkyPinky]

The game is enormous. 45 hours into it and I have barely even touched the guild quests, the main quest, or visited half the cities. Massive amount of content.

GOTY for me. I love this game. Best game in years. I enjoyed Witcher 2 and DE:HR but I love this game even more.

5.5 years for an Oblivion 2.0 with better art? Not impressed at all, "GOTY" or not. Dark Souls make it look like garbage.

Have you played dark souls?

103 hours and counting... I'm proud of me?

Dont forget Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
So really its like 3.5.
:awe:

 

[lamedude]

Didn't know betas could get GOTY.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

It definetly earned GOTY for me, everyone loves to complain about the bugs. But really, everyone is still playing it.

The Witcher 2 was just as buggy as Skyrim for me, and after I beat Witcher 2 I didn't feel the need to play it again.

 

[coldmeat]

I'd say it's GOTY for me as well.

As far as stability, I've had 1 crash in 131 hours of play.

Are you playing the same Portal 2 as the rest of the free world?? I dont think so.....

 

[spaceman]

i love the hatin in this thread
witcher2lol
bf3
beta
like comparing huey lewis to hall and oates ffs
GOTY biatches

 

[AVP]

The people in this thread prove that videogamers don't deserve shit in terms of an award show.

 

[RiDE]

MW2 won shooter of the year... again.

 

[Sulaco]

And how much time have you put into it to justify that?

I'm going to guess almost nil, right?

 

[PrayForDeath]

Did Saint's Row The Third get anything? Cause I'm like 25 hours into it, and that game deserves recognition. That game is amazing.

:thumbsup: this game is pure fun. I finish at least 1-2 missions everyday. It's like they took the GTA formula, removed everything I considered 'un-fun', and replaced it with a fun and wacky alternative.

Got stuck in the water/river? Press 'E' to teleport to shore instead of swimming and breaking your momentum.

Died at the end of a mission? You can reload a recent checkpoints instead of having to restart the whole mission and drive across the whole map like you did in GTA.

Got caught by police? They won't take away your weapons

etc etc etc

Though personally, I think the Witcher 2 deserves GOTY, especially after 2.0. Skyrim would be a worthy contender a year from now, once all the DLC is out and the bugs got ironed out.


edit: Just read the thread... so much rage and fanboyism. lol

Nope, totally not a beta at all.

Not inside that list are:

1. Quicksave first, then buying a merchant stock. Quickloading that save results in the same cleared stock even though you never bought the items in the previous save.

2. Quicksave after buying a merchant stock then killing the merchant. Merchant stock replenishes after quickload.

I believe this is first major game ever where quicksave/load can affect the next save state. Just how awesome is that!

Oblivion 1.5

Same world, same NPCs, worse story, bad combat. It is just a large pretty world, with nothing interesting to do in it. Dragon fights are a joke, quest are all cookie cutter and repetitive, scaling enemies are dumb, etc. Oblivion is a 94 on metacritic and was GOTY in 2006, now we look back at it with scorn. I see a pattern here with these games.

I'm level 21 now, still trying to find the game that everyone is raving about.

Ummm, i think you are in the wrong subforum. This is PC Gaming. Isnt this game XBOX only?

 

[Red Storm]

Congratulations Skyrim, Game of the Y-*CTD*

Really though, I have never once cared for or saw the significance in these awards. The GOTY is entirely a matter of personal opinion. Why does anyone care what one specific group thinks is the best game? Does that in any way affect your own opinion on the game (or the game you think is actually the GOTY)?

Ummm, it came out on the PC, PS3, and 360.

The PC version is the best of all 3 BTW.. Eyefinity Support as well as DX10/11 support.

amazingly fun game that was completely ignored by Spike.

The anti-Skyrim posts in here are so STAGGERINGLY ignorant that it's almost comical.

which ones? the ones that claim it's so horribly consolized? oh wait...
or the ones that claim it is so buggy? oh wait...

or the ones that it is a worse version of the same game we played 8 years ago? oh wait..

no ignorance found here..

guess you are one of those that likes COD and Iphones as well? same shit with a NEW LABEL! lets BUY 12!
