IMHO

Exclusives should never be awarded GOTY.

Multiplatform should, that way, no side gets all pissed off, well, the only exception being the Wii, for it needs it's exclusive to stay ahead.

My 2 cents.

EDIT: Disagree's ? There's never pleasin' ya N4G, no matter how impartial one is.

Dark_Charizard4864d ago (Edited 4864d ago )

You make it sound as though GotY is awarded to keep all fanboy territories happy. LOL!

Fail!

Focker4204864d ago (Edited 4864d ago )

@pedrami91

Saying "Exclusives should never be awarded GOTY." Is as far from impartial as you can get. Any game can win GOTY as long as its not an exclusive. STFU.

Its called Game Of The Year, not Multiplatform GOTY. If your chosen system doesn't have a game that wins GOTY, who gives a sh*t. This isn't some competition in preschool where everybody wins. Your favorite game doesn't win well then tough sh*t. Grow a pair and stfu.

If a game happens to be an exclusive, but it is the best game of the year, then it deserves to be awarded GOTY. Instead of "awww, well I really loved this one game over everything else, but I can't award it GOTY because it'll make all those little fanboys cry". Do you realise how stupid that is??

UCMEandICU4864d ago (Edited 4864d ago )

I have no clue how this game can be even considered a nomination for GOTY. Yeah it played decent but aint no way that's GOTY material.

I was literally salivating when downloading the demo then couldnt believe this was the mighty Mass Effect I've been reading on forums as the greatest RPG in years when I actually played it.

Wow it just seems standards are low when rating games that are not PS3 exclusive.

Nah, I'm not hating or trying to troll but I now see if ME1&2 were PS3 exclusives w/ the exact same content, it would have gotten a lot of 7s from the same big sties that gave it 9.5s & 10s. This is just my view point on this game.

talltony4864d ago

I comPletely agree with you. I was honest to god bored of that demo. I for one don't know what the big deal is. To each his own but rdr and this are not my kind Of games at all. My goty material seems to be on a different quality level.

Commander_TK4864d ago

Much respect to Gametrailers. They gotten a lot better over the past few years. Great descriptions of the nominees and a PC was nominated for GOTY (u don't see that a lot these days).

Honorable mentions would probably go to Alan Wake, Heavy Rain and Bad Company 2.

HolyOrangeCows4864d ago

"Exclusives should never be awarded GOTY"

Good thing it's not an exclusive.

*Wink*

TBM4864d ago

if anyone is interested this website here counts all the GotY picks from critics and readers. plus overall leader for the year.

http://gotypicks.blogspot.c...

the overall leader is not who you think it is. also this site is pretty cool as whoever this guy is works hard to gather all the info he needs for this.

candystop4864d ago

ucme and talltony,

You both played a demo only so please stfu.

JohnnyBadfinger4864d ago

The Demo is only the first cutscene and first 5mins of gamplay...the fact you have come to a conclusion after that tells me your GOTY choice is simply wrong.

ME2 was the best game of 2010... just was.

thrasherv34864d ago

@candystop

Completely agree. How someone can base an entire series on one demo is beyond me. And this is a RPG, not a brain-dead shooter like CoD. I do believe there is story somewhere...

Kahvipannu4863d ago (Edited 4863d ago )

You played the demo. Mass Effect 2 is way more. It continues seamesly your game from ME1, and really starts waaay after demo ends. Play the (full) games, and be critic after that.

And yeah, ME2 was my personal GOTY too. Gona revisit it once it comes out for PS3 too. And I was happy to see Starcraft 2 and Civ 5 on nominees, specially Civ 5.

Dsnyder4864d ago

Thought they were going to give it to another COD game.

Bordel_19004864d ago

ME2 is on PC, X360 and on PS3 in 19 days. What exclusive?

DFresh4864d ago

I highly disagree.
If any game does something original or offers something unique whether retail, downloadable, indie, or exclusive then that game should be noticed and rewarded for their efforts.

Also Mass Effect is not exclusive.
--Mass Effect (Xbox 360/PC) = More then one platform.
--Mass Effect 2 (PS3/Xbox 360/PC) = All 3 platforms.
--Mass Effect 3 (PS3/Xbox 360/PC) = All 3 platforms.

KingPin4863d ago

"Exclusives should never be awarded GOTY."

coz if that were to happen the xbox360 wouldnt have a game of the year at all since seeing for the last 3 years the ps3 exclusives absolutely dominated it.

i still think they should have 5 categories for GOTY!
xbox360 exclusive GOTY
ps3 exclusive GOTY
wii exclusive GOTY
multiplat GOTY
PC GOTY

Tainted Gene4864d ago

Oh man, I was rooting for "splosion-man" to take it all ;P

All kidding aside I pleased with the outcome. ME2 seemed the best in blending most aspects of gaming into one package (story, RPG"isk" elements, shooter, exploration, and an epic adventure). Despite the skeptical view I had about losing the RPG elements prior to launch, BioWare really did a fine job and should be proud.

neo8814864d ago

BioWare = pixar of the gaming industry they have yet to make a bad game.

TheColbertinator4864d ago

Thats great.I'm glad Mass Effect 2 is getting the recognition it deserves

neo8814864d ago

its better than the Epic fail for best PS3 game of the year first the nomines were Rock Band 3 Red Dead Redemption and Black ops then god of war I can see God of war and RD but Rock Band and Black ops esp for ps3 has beeen such a horrible fail. I would have put in Heavy Rain MLB 10 and or Grand Turismo 5

Focker4204864d ago

I guess I'll truly find out if it is when I play it in a few weeks.

FrankMcSpank4864d ago

Well the PS3 version is the GOTY Edition after all.

Vaud-Villian4864d ago

Another GOTY for ME2 makes me smile. It was my favorite game of the year and in 6 days I'll be playing it again.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming14d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long14d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming14d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10114d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor14d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6914d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming14d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno14d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming14d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan20d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast28d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg28d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai27d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
