Poll: I think it's safe to say...

[tjbond911]

What about Arkham City?

 

[Odbarc]

That based on 49 reviews, with an overall 96/100 score on Metacritic that Skyrim will be GOTY. Tell me if you agree or not.

I asked my mommy to get me this game, I could/might have it as early as 10:30 tomorrow morning. Or 12:30, or not at all.

It's also my 28th birthday later this month.

 

[Ixal]

Sadly not. The CoD kiddies will rage so much that gaming sites won't dare to not name mit GotY.

 

[DarkRyter]

Yes, Skyrim will be critically acclaimed.

People have been saying this for the past 3 years.

 

[bluepanda 492]

I'm going to say it will be but seeing as it isn't out yet who knows.

 

[Jegsimmons]

gee, dont wait until its released in America before setting the poll.

also, GOTY means nothing because their isnt ONE big widely appreciated award ceremony for games like the Oscars for movies.

and if anyone says spike.....then go jump in a lake.....

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

No 96/100 does not guarantee GOTY. v

well Spike is deemed by many to be the most credible GOTY award ceremony...

*jumps in a lake*

people honestly think its credible? even though it isnt even hosted by gamers and just does advertisement and who ever advertises the most gets the win?

Skyrim GOTY huh... like to see that but I can almost guarantee Modern Warfare 3 will take the title.

It's the difference between being a huge blockbuster movie and actually winning an acadamy award for best screenplay. Sure, MW3 has brand recognition as a decent shooter with a large multiplayer fanbase and prints money like there is no tommorow, but it's nothing all that special. In a year of many good shooters, it might not even take home an award for best shooter.

I think it's safe to say...

That you should make your titles more descriptive.

Skyrim will be some people's GOTY. It will not be other people's GOTY. In the future, Bethesda will release a Skyrim GOTY Edition with all the DLC/expansions alongside it. Water is wet, and I look good in a suit.

^ Masterfully put, sir. *clapping*

 

[spartan231490]

GOTY. NO.

It will be the game of the console generation, if not the game of the decade.

 

[Gaiseric]

Probably not my GOTY. It would have to be very awesome and strike all the right cords to beat out my favorite game of this year.

 

[Right Hook]

That based on 49 reviews, with an overall 96/100 score on Metacritic that Skyrim will be GOTY. Tell me if you agree or not.

Let me just say, I'd be really happy if it was GOTY, mostly because that would mean I'm about to have a LOT of fun 5 hours, 15 minutes and 51 seconds from now. I don't think this makes it a sealed deal by any means but regardless it will probably be the game I have the most fun with this year.

 

[Johny64]

It isn't over 'til the fat lady sings!

 

[Randomperson9999999]

can't say until it's out

 

[Yopaz]

It's not my game of the year, but it will probably get game of the year because of all the hype. Even if it sucked people would still think it was good because they've been saying it would be the game of the year for months now.

 

[predatorpulse7]

It's a damn good game from what I've seen so far and the hype will push it over the edge. This has been a terrific year for games, Portal 2, Witcher 2, Shogun 2, Uncharted 3(for those who liked it), Arkham City, Skyrim. And I hope that AC:Revelations will live up to the hype as well.

These are all very good quality games but hype wise, only Arkham City was close to Skyrim in terms of hype.

2011 has been a terrific year for games.

 

[chadachada123]

I personally don't see how Skyrim could beat Dark Souls in terms of true satisfaction and enjoyment.

The story might be good, but the gameplay seems to be meh from what I've seen so far. Just like Oblivion. It's "fun" but it's not fun.

2 things.

1. I agree on all points, even the suit. Because suits always looks good.

2. I went to the url hoping it would be an actual site.

 

[DiMono]

Just because people like it doesn't make it good. Just ask Facebook.

terrible example since facebook is basically the king of all social networking sites today with billions upon billions of people using it.

I don't like facebook because of their lack of stance in privacy but that's just the way it is.

On the contrary, it's a fantastic example for exactly that reason. Although, if we're going to step back to reality there are just under a billion accounts, not billions upon billions. It is insanely popular because it's convenient, but between security holes, lack of concern for user privacy, and really, really crappy public relations, it's just not a good website. But it's popular anyway. Which proves my point, just because people like it doesn't make it good.
