So consolites are always told by pc gamers how they'll never be able to play all the great exclusives offered by their platform. Yet, pc couldn't even muster up an exclusive win. What happened to Witcher 2? http://www.gametrailers.com/video/best-pc-game-of-the/725241

Well, the narration on the video did say the PC version of Batman: AC is something the console versions can't touch.

I'm sorry, I never got the memo about gametrailers GOTY awards no longer just being some random people's opinion and instead being declared king of what the best game for a platform is.

It is kinda odd, I will agree. No PC exclusive win? Sorta feels like how 360 got snubbed at the VGA's. Arkham City also won it's best 360 game award over Gears 3 and Forza. So I guess PC and 360 are good for multiplats...but that's it.

Maybe they preferred it to the PC exclusives. It's not like it goes like this:

GOTY: Best game this year

---------Every game below this line is poop---------

Every other gaame released this year

Well performance is also a major difference. Nevermind no jaggies, or screen tearing, or blury pixelated graphics. Nevermind an updated lighting engine, tessellation and Physx on PC.

It runs at 60 FPS. It makes the controls and combat feel a LOT tighter, the whole gameplay feels better.

Well, I thought it was mighty nice of them to say that considering GT is a console-oriented site. I don't think having it as a multiplat matters because this is a great year for multiplats. It's not like exclusives on consoles are having a field day either. I think it's multiplats that are picking the lion's share of awards.

Witcher 2 isn't deserving of goty, at all. Not even top RPG.

"Arkham City is like the poster child of successful PC ports" Yeah, with DX11 making it unplayable, performance issues even on DX9 and it's using GFWL and SecuROM.... AND Steam if you bought it there or got it from Nvidia with your GPU And of course MW3 had to get a nomination, it has all these amazing PC features like K/B mouse and better graphics... or less ugly in this case

I'll never understand how if a multiplatform game wins GOTY that consolites will somehow try to spin it to be a win for consoles. Especially when the people who voted it GOTY keep reiterating that the PC version is better than the console versions.

Ginosaji
Didn't really spin anything. Was just wondering why, what with all the great PC exclusives, at least that's what herms say, that the PC couldn't muster up a pc exclusive win. Just odd is all.

Not really. They obviously felt that Skyrim deserved GOTY.

Like I said before, it's not as if it works like this:

Its a great year for multiplats except on PS3, and not because the exclusives on PS3 are better than the multiplats, that is definately not the case. The only reason a multiplat didnt win GOTY for PS3 is because multiplats suck ass on PS3 compared to other platforms, as we are all fully aware, so they will have to settle for something that doesnt blow in comparison to the multiplat quality on other systems and that only leaves the exclusives.

Besides Batman Arkham City on PC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the console version. If the console version of Arkham City was as good as it is on the PC then it would more than likely be goty for both the 360 and PS3 aswell.

Why does it matter exclusive or not, Batman AC deserves any accolade it gets on any platform it's on. :)

There was really nothing better I played on PC, or consoles) than Arkham City anyways, but platform specific awards should only inlcude exclusive to that platform.

That was from their Best Platform Exclusive video, which originally showed that research fail. They did later amend it once people pointed out how incredibly stupid it was.
