Best bet for GoTY...??

This is going to be a huge year for gaming across all platforms. My top 3 are in order...Deus Ex, RAGE and Skyrim. I am a little skittish about the true greatness of BF3 after watching Alpha gameplay footage. Not saying it wont be very good, just wondering if it will be epic? RAGE looks like Borderlands with a bigger, better story and true multiplayer. Skyrim looks amazing as well, but is it just Oblivion with a new skin? I just think Deus EX looks to be something fresh and different from what is currently out there. If the gameplay and story hold up, I think it is the clear winner. UC3 and Gears will be be awesome, but how will they truely differ from the first two in their respective franchises?

Uncharted 3

Gears of War 3

BF3

Elder Scrolls Skyrim

Deus Ex Human Revolution

RAGE

Imo the only way one of these doesnt win GoTY is if Diablo 3 releases in 2011 which isnt likely.

Batman: Arkham City has a VERY STRONG chance of getting GOTY.

I also expect Skyrim to possibly get that very honor as well, not to mention AC Revelations and Saints Row: The Third.

Rage

Gears of War 3 has the best chance so far. Until Skyrim comes out that is.

Where the F-- is Batman? that has the strongest chance out of all of them options. U3 or B:AC I think will get the crown. It will never be an FS game

Saints Row 3

Portal 2.

Either Skyrim or Zelda.

I don't think that RAGE can have any chance to win GOTY..... But I agree with the other options.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Modern Warfare 3 got it here on Gamespot.

Portal 2 or Skyward Sword.

Skyrim

Really hard to tell, there's SO many good games this year...

Portal 2

Starcraft 2

Skyrim

Batman

Skyward Sword

Dark Souls

Ugh!

I'd say Portal 2 or Batman.

Diablo III for 2012. :P

Dark Souls is easily the best candidate thus far, if GameSpot uses the same sound judgement they applied in 09' then it really shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Rage

Don't listen to the current negativity surrounding the game. It is on my list as well. Rage is one of THE best pure shooters to come along in quite some time. The most fun fps I've played since coop halo2.

I haven't finished it yet, and am yet to touch the multiplayer. I actually put it on hold as I wanted to play Uncharted2 before I buy U3--which purchase is being on hold to finish Twilight Princess before Skyward Sword:D. I will say the mp in rage does look a tad dull, but I've actually heard good things from people. What I like about the game is that it is very straight forward. It has it where it counts; it plays EXTREMELY well. It is without a doubt that one game this gen that seems to get hammered by people because it wasn't the second coming. It has GT5 syndrome, but is nowhere near the letdown that game was.

Batman has a solid chance.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was my surprise packet for the year thus far.

Skyrim has it locked up if the forum has anything to say about it.

Assassin's Creed Revelations and Saint's Row 3 may be late charges.

It'll be an interesting result but for the record, my money would be on the Bat.

Skyward Sword, mark um....

I'd say Skyrim will most likely take GOTY, but of the games released thus far I'd have to go with Deus Ex

I would have to go with Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim as my first choice for game of the year although I think Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, Batman: Arkham City, Dark Souls and Zelda will all be serious contenders.

For me it's between DE:HR, Dark Souls, and Skyrim.

Dark Souls has been showing a lot of frame rate issues so I doubt it'll get it (though the rest of the game is pretty solid)

DE was put down because of the boss battles, so it already has a bad mark for a lot of reviewers. I had no problem with them since they were easy/quick enough that they didn't ruin my experience at all. Personally, it's amongst my top 5 games this gen.

Skyrim will most likely get it as long as it doesn't suffer from any major bugs when it's launched. Considering I'm going for a midnight release it better not have any gamebreaking/major bugs.

Skyrim has it locked up if the forum has anything to say about it.

Subject-16

Oh I don't know, the leaked footage is looking pretty bland at the moment.

Anyway, Skyward Sword has the best shot.
Early reviews have been giving it perfect scores, and previews from the big sites keep throwing in words like "best game in the series" - which is pretty big news for a series that already has two GOTY awards under its belt here on Gamespot.

Skyrim, but Arkham City will be a STRONG contender. Skyward Sword is dangerous. Watch out for that one.

Batman: Arkham City and Uncharted 3 deserve it, though they'll likely get robbed of it by Dark Souls. :roll:

From what I've played so far this year, I think LBP2, Portal 2, Deus Ex, Dark Souls, Batman AC, and Uncharted 3 all deserve consideration. I haven't played Gears 3 but that should probably be included as well. Games still to come that should be contenders are obviously Skyrim and Zelda.

Really tough competition this year.

I'm betting on Skyrim. Dark Souls seems to be the frontrunner, score wise, but its difficulty is gonna set it back.Allicrombie

I think the framerate issues are a lot more distracting than the difficulty that can be overcome with time/patience. Still, reviews didn't seem to harp on that too much so it's still going to be close.

GameSpot will probably troll everyone and give GOTY to Xenoblade.
