Your 2010 game of the year?

My pick would have to be Mass Effect 2.

Red Dead Redemption

Out of the games I have played this year, I would also say Mass Effect 2.

However, I have not played Fallout: NV, Star Craft 2, Mafia 2, and there might be more I can't think of. I would expect Star Craft 2, New Vegas or Mass Effect 2 to take offical GOTY awards.

1. Fallout New Vegas or 2. RDR or 3. Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2, also might I remind people that this is the PC forum so RDR wouldn't be a valid pick.

mass effect 2. Red Dead got boring pretty quick if you ask me, however it was still a good game.

Oh, whoops! I totally thought I was posting on the General Games forum. Silly me.

In that case err... yeah, on the PC I guess it was Mass Effect 2. Although I don't think it was really anything amazingly special. A very good game, but I'm surprised I can't think of any better PC games that I've played this year.

If we are talking strictly about games released in 2010, then it would be Mass Effect 2.

However, I played a number of older games this year, too, and out of those games, I would pick Metal Gear Solid 4.

Qixote

Starcraft 2

Civilization 5

Amnesia: Dark Descent

Mass Effect 2

CoD:BO

Fallout: NV

Football Manager 2011

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

King's Bounty: Crossworlds

ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead

Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer

Tropico 3: Absolute Power

Mount & Blade: Warband

The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom

Just Cause 2

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Fallout New Vegas wins, with Mass Effect 2 as a close second.

RDR looks awesome, I really hope it comes to the PC (I'd take it over GTA V any day)

As much as I enjoyed Mass Effect 2 there are way too many flaws in the gameplay for me to class it as GOTY (that god awful mining mini game automatically disqualifies it in my books). If I had to choose I would go with either Fallout New Vegas or Starcraft 2 and since Blizzard did such an excellent job of doing a PC orientated game I will go with Starcraft 2.

Sadly, I have to agree.

I don't think the current state of PC gaming is as grim as some people would have us believe, but it's definitely not in its finest hour at the moment.

Mass Effect 2 is my choice.

Maybe it has been good enough for you. But I will go out on a limb here guessing I am a older pc gamer and was around the pc gaming scene much longer to know that our options now are nowhere near as good as they were in the good ole days of pc gaming.Qixote

as opposed to games like RDR?? your GOTY..:|

Red Dead Redemptionbroken_bass_bin

Me too. Sadly like last year, my goty was not on the pc. Sign of the times.Qixote

I dont want to say that RDR isnt a good game..its my favorite console game by far.. but please..Pc gaming is in a healthy state right now.. with games like Mount & blade, STALKER, Recettear, The Witcher, Drakensang, Kings Bounty, Dins Curse, Amnesia, Minecraft, Starcraft 2, X3 Terran Conflict, Civ5, etc... yet it doesnt matter to you since we dont have console games like RDR:?

I've played many of those games you listed, and while they were good or even great, even the pc gaming heart in me could not allow myself to say they were better than my current goty choice. (STALKER? that's about three years old now. I'm talking current events. And even 3 years ago it was no way near GOTY material).

Interesting, you and others mock games like RDR for being a console game. Yet many of the same people still allow yourselves to play multiplatform games that have been ported to the pc. Look at all the people here who say Mass Effect 2 is there pc game of the year. If that ain't a console game, then I don't know what is.

"This first-person survival game is at times amazing and engrossing and on par with such cla.ssics as Deus Ex and System Shock."

"S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is definitely a game that deserves to be played. For first-person shooter fans looking for the next big thing in the genre"

"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store in the Citadel."

Mass Effect 2.

Forgot about New Vegas for a sec there. >_>

New Vegas, no question. Starcraft 2's good too, but it wasn't quite as enjoyable as Obsidian's latest title as far as I'm concerned.

[QUOTE="devious742"]

My GOTY on PC so far has to be Stalker: Call of Pripyat...

All I can say is LOL For me it's Mass Effect 2 and as a runner-up Cataclysm, I guess.

Forgot about New Vegas for a sec there. >_>

Stalker: SoC is one of my favorite games from this gen, along with FEAR and Company of Heroes. Such a fantastic game. Call of Pripyat is probably the most refined Stalker yet.

WoW: Cataclysm, cuz damn its so much fun!

But I also liked:

Alpha Protocol
BF: Bad Company 2
ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead
Mount and Blade: Warband
Just Cause 2 (idunno if there is a sandbox category, but this better win!)

ME2 was great, but the ending kept it from being amazing... I feel like they really just copped out, and did something pretty generic/not-significant. I know that's vague, but I don't want to give spoilers...

So, I would have to go with Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Best game I've played in a few years.

Don't know for sure. It's either Fallout : New Vegas or Mafia II. Mass Effect 2 is my least favourite game of the year.GeneralShowzer

Mafia 2? Are you friggin' kidding me? lol That game was such a butchered mess it was actually painful. Dissapointment of the year perhaps?

Mass Effect 2 is my pick. BioWare really put a lot of effort into it and it shows big time.

Other honourable mentions:

BioShock 2 - I seem to be one of the few people who enjoyed this game.

Assassin's Creed II (PC Release) - Awesome freedom of movement, amazingly detailed setting, awesome graphics. Fun to play.

Just Cause 2 - destructible environments and interesting gameplay dynamics.

Fallout New Vegas - this game kinda speaks for itself.

Yes Bioware sure put a lof of effort into it.

Whether is the low res textures, the bad PC controls or the removed elements from the first one. Really tons of effort . So much variety of gameplay...

Here's the game summarized :

Linear corridor shotouts levels for five minutes.

Half an hour of walking around the ship talking to people. Repeat twelve times. Game of the generation?

Hey man, you forgot about the squad loyalty quests! where you walk around your ship, talk to your squad mates, take part in a 10 minute corridor shootout, repeat 10x... oh wait.

Bad Company 2; 632 hours and counting...

My pick would have to be Mass Effect 2.

In the year of the sequel, I'll say Cataclysm.

StarCraft 2

Runner up: BFBC2

Gothic 4 Arcania.dakan45

wow, realy?

I enjoyed Gothic 4, don't get me wrong, its just...so simple. Simplicity is a virtue in many genres, but not in RPGs in my opinion.

What made you enjoy it so much?
