Whats your GOTY 2011

For me

By Far

For me its this, so colourful, so gorgeous sounding, so beautiful visually and SO satisfyingly frustrating.

I'm going to wait until Skyrim comes out to say for sure, but barring that...yea Deus Ex. It's been a pretty slow year for games up until a few weeks ago.

Portal 2. It gets overlooked because it was early in the year, but in terms of the design quality from start to finish, it is the most concentrated dose of genius you can find.

 

[SuperRobot64]

Skyward Sword..................in time

 

[mrm5561]

humm well im still waiting for assassions creed and saints row 3 to come out but batman arkham city will be hard to beat. o and a shout out to mortal kombat and portal 2

 

[GeorgW]

I'll be sure to let you know once the year is over, but if you're wondering what the top contender is at the moment I'll have to give it to Arkham City. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.320344-Hypnotic-reviews-Batman-Arkham-City#13084235]

ooh, tough one

Hard Reset was made of pure awesome, dripping out of every pixel
then don't you forget about Portal 2!
aaand we had a new Total War <3
DoW Retribution was bloody fun as well

CHOICE! damn you

i go with Hard Reset, for rekindling the spirit of the golden age of shooters ^__^

 

[AlternatePFG]

I'd probably say Dark Souls so far. There aren't any more games coming out this year that I really am interested in, honestly. Portal 2 and Human Revolution are my runners up though, it's been a pretty great year.

 

[HassEsser]

Easy, Uncharted 3

 

[Iwata]

I could swear I've already answered this in a different thread...

But anyway, "Deus Ex: Human Revolution", "inFamous 2" and "Alice: Madness Returns" are my choices thus far. Don't ask me to pick one, because I can't.

 

[ABLb0y]

Arkham City. No competition. The only things that could be potentially better than it are the new Uncharted and Saints Row the third.

 

[chawlie fair]

OMG Diesel WAS UP
Hes from GT forums lol, same avatar and username, can't wait to see some of your threads here(lol)
Probably Uncharted 3, beat it yesterday, really good

 

[legend of duty]

Well since the only new game i've gotten is Battlefield 3 i'll go with that.

 

[ohgodalex]

well, i haven't played either yet, but i'm sure it'll be a toss-up between skyward sword and mw3.
i don't care if they're casual or if skyward sword looks like garbage. i am pretty sure i'm gonna love the shit out of them.

 

[Davidm4]

Portal 2 so far, as i'm a puzzle adventure nut. Awaiting Skyward Sword, which is the only one that might knock it off for me. This topic is the most re-occuring one, but I'll keep answering it

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Portal 2, because it's probably the only game from 2011 I actually played.

 

[Broken Orange]

I was about to say Gears Of War 3 but then I remembered Portal 2 and all its quotable goodness.

SPAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEE!

 

[NovaCascade]

FOr me it must must must be Xenoblade Chronicles. I have not had this much fun with a game for a long time. Although, that may or may not change when I pick up Arkham City or when Skyrim comes out

 

[s0p0g]

i go with Hard Reset, for rekindling the spirit of the golden age of shooters ^__^

...
sprint button, recharging shields, 2 weapons, superficial RPG elements, no crouch button and corridor-based levels

Where is this golden age you're talking about, exactly?

it's hard, has corridor levels, has tons of enemies in a couple of waves, has no chest-high-walls gameplay, it encourages jumping and running and shooting, and enemies drop power-ups to colect to not die

RPG elements? did i miss anything?
