Who is with me ?

If you have played it, finished it and experienced it, you will know what I mean. There is nothing more to say.

Haha... The gameplay is stellar. I allways thought simple was better. You can't have an extremely complex The World Ends With You combat system in every game.

I wouldn't say it was my absolute game of the year, but frickin' amazing it was, and it definitely deserves even more credit than the relatively high amount it gets at the moment.

Bugrim being goty is 2011s biggest joke.At least Bastion works,along with good gameplay,awsome music and killer story.Nothing wrong with a downloadable game being goty.

Greg Kasavin is part of the development team for Bastion. Nuff said.

As someone who does not enjoy RPG's. I enjoyed the demo quite a bit. Those guys have made something special.

Orly? I did not know that. Guess it will be Outland and Bastion I buy then (not that I wasn't already leading towards the both of them).

It was definitely a strong contender. It was more fully featured than most of the retail games released this year. *cough Homefront cough*

Gah, it was half price on XBLA the other week and >€5 on Steam! Should have got it then.

I own it on XBLA and PC.:cool: The game is truly magnificent.

Not sure it should have won GOTY outright, but if there's an indie category or a best new IP/newcomer, it should have wiped the floor with the competition.

Think it won best soundtrack and/or song here though didn't it?

^This is the sole reason it didn't win GotY.

It hasn't sold at least a million copies? Nope, sorry, you don't qualify for GotY material, better luck with the next game.

Bastion was a beastly game, and yeah I bet Greg Kasavin had a ton to do with that. But it's too short for GoTY material. It's 6 hours long if you take it slowly. That just doesn't scream GoTY in anyway, it's a great cheap indie game that everyone should get. But it's not a big-big game. If it was longer and still as good as it was, then yeah....def. a GoTY game. :3

The game was great, but very repeatitive and short

Of course it is one of my top 2011 games, but is not anywhere as amazing and varied as Dark souls, Skyrim or Witcher 2

The tile based engine is the main thing holding it way back of those titles and older RPGs like FF7-8-9, everything seems so same after a while due to the use of tiles

GotY 2008 was a what, 4 hours long game. Same for GotY 2006.

If you've got any interest at all in music, get it. Best original soundtrack of the year, composed by just one (legendary) man.

The story is told in a very unique fashion too.

You're forgetting the fact that gamers have gone easy on Bastion for the sole reason that it is a DL-able game, not a full retail release. It's a good game....for what it is - a rather short downloadable game. I'd be pissed if i spent 50 bucks on it and finished it in one afternoon. It got the same treatment Limbo and Super Meat Boy did. Gamers tend to not scrutinize on games like that.

It's my GOTY actually. It just felt... complete, with appropriate design choices in that I dont think the game could really be improbed from what it is. It won CynicalBrits--TotalBiscuitss--GOTY >"Who the **** is TotalBiscuit?!?!"

I think YOU cant understand the concept that i will never ever spend a single cent on XBL, if it comes to PSN i'll support if not then GTFO i wont support it. thats how i am. u dont agree? oh well deal with it
