After tired with Demon Souls vs. Everything, I think it's better if we make thread Demon's Souls vs Another GOTY

Which Gamespot GOTY do you think is the best?

I'd choose SMG 2 as GOTY 2010 because that's the only game that scored 10 this year, although this year haven't finished

Personally, I think MGS 4 is still the best game this generation.

Although GeOW, SMG 1&2, and DS all are very good games, they all have the same weakness: the story

We all knew Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 and Gears 1 had no story, and although I think DS had a story, that's quite average

Meanwhile, MGS 4 is having a superb story with cinematic experience, making it definitely the best game this generation

How can you put SMG2 as GOTY 2010, when the year hasn't finished?

I don't think that is fair.

You should have just put the other four.

On topic: I choose Gears 1. Was so badass when I played it, and really started the "Next Gen" feeling...

Gears of War made the largest impact on me, and i'll remember for longest.

MGS4 was a huge dissapointment in every way shape and form.

Mario Galaxy isn't my type of game.

Demons Souls was beyond excellent, but the lack of memorable story and characters hurts it, since it's an RPG and all.

I'm gonna refrain from saying Demon's Souls,because the front page is flooded with that game.

People that want to continue the,oh so enjoyable fad,please don't.

SMG for me, I haven't finished the second yet and it hasn't won yet either to be fair :).

SMG2 shouldn't be on there, not yet. And not having a story shouldnt be a consideration at all when we're talking about games.

I'd say Demon's Souls simply by the amount of hours I put into that game. I played through Gears twice, first on 360, then on PC. Gotta say the PC version was the superior one, but I never touched the game after that. Own MGS4, and I beat it once... and it was pretty sweet, but I never had the urge to play it again... Maybe down the road... And I never played SMG.

Youre right, although I'm pretty sure GS will give their GOTY to SMG 2 if there is no game this year that scored another 10

No, I think story do matters, on GOTY award there are Best Story Award, isn't it? And good story make the players keep playing the game too

Different preferences, I guess. A story for me is just a bonus, essentially I care about the gameplay. MGS4, for all its strengths, isnt exactly the best in tht department. Personally, the best ever GotY would be Metroid Prime from my side, but out of those all, I'd say it was easily SMG.

I don't know about that...

Remember when everyone thought that UC2 would get GOTY last year?

And DS got it?

Yeah, scores are not really that relevant.

I usually don't agree with Game of the Year awards especially here in GS, but I think Gears of War truly deserved it.

SMG2 shouldnt be on there. Just because it got a 10 doesn't guarantee it GOTY (UC2=9.5 and Demons souls=9.0). RDR probably has a better shot than SMG2. I would vote Gears 1 because it was the first game to let us know we are not in kansas any more.

This year isn't over yet bud. If you know how GameSpot chooses the GOTY, then you should know that there is a chance SMG 2 might not get it. Instead, you should have put 2005's GOTY. On topic, I go with Gears Of War.

MGS4 is one of the best games EVER in my opinion. Definitely the best in that lineup, again IMO.

You're wrong. =| According to you then Demon Souls shouldn't have been GOTY then. So why don't you go and take SMB2 of the poll aye. Make it fair. Unless you are biased in some way...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the only one I find worthy of even being nominated on that list let alone actually won it. Demons Souls... ridiculously unrefined "okish" attempt for japanese developers in making a Diablo clone... or a Diablo type online RPG, needless to say they failed good and proper..... never should of won any kind of GOTY.

Yes... most of the bosses were broken to the point where you could auto attack the and win. so many abusable flaws in the gameplay, its production values were rather crap and its difficulty far over exagurating, online was slow, the whole "World Tendancy" and how it worked online was broken and extremely flawed. I could go on, good concept, poorly executed... and very bland aswell.

Gears of War, basically got this gen going. Had some cool weapons as well
