Journey May Be The Front-Runner For Game Of The Year

Could - or should - a downloadable title win Game of the Year?

Yeah definitely the best game released in 2012 so far, and I can't think of anything else that seems as good.

Depends on the gamer. There are plenty of people that still haven't played it yet..so obviously won't be their current GOTY.

There are plenty of people that haven't played Max Payne or Mass Effect 3 yet... so obviously those won't be their current GOTY.

You use logic for the first time in a long time, and it's something as simple as this?

OF COURSE it can't be GOTY for people who haven't played it. Why the hell would you even bring them up? Do you go around claiming you like games you've never played before?

[LOGICWINS]

Ummm...okay relax buddy. No need to get angry. Thanks for your input though.

To troll or get a rise out of someone? I don't know why else he would state the obvious.

Is it a game? I think this question answers itself.

its my GOTY so far but i doubt many sites will give it the award, because of the shitstorm that would occur if it beat GTAV or mass effect 3.

GOTY awards are often more heavily influenced by name recognizably and popularity, rather than actual quality and innovation.

What do you mean "should a downloadable game be allowed to win goty"?

Obviously Journey is waaaaay too downloadable to be nominated for goty. Duh!
