Game of the Year 2012 will be either Halo 4 or Dishonored (AC3 am cry)

[QUOTE="TheDidact"][QUOTE="Stringerboy"]

Are you being cerial?

There was no tension or buildup to it like in ME1 and ME3, it was just like "Oh hey, there's that sucide mission we have to do now. May as well get it over with" Although that's mainly due to the lack of development in the abysmal main plot.

Stringerboy

Oh I do like that plot hole ridden mess by Bioware to install some sense of urgency. But who gives a crap about the crew?

Maybe if they'd have kidnapped Joker or someone who we actually cared about it would have made us want to kill the collectors. But no, it's just a bunch of random crew members who we've never spoke too. Sure there's Kelly but that's about it.

Didect! ummmm MASS EFFECT 3!!!! Its the most polarizing game this gen and it was absolutly brilliant.... im gonna love me some ac3 and i may even get halo, though im not a huge fan but ME3 is the goty...

[QUOTE="TheDidact"]Are you kidding me? Have you forgotten about how [spoiler] You're crew gets kidnapped by the collectors. [/spoiler] it felt like you needed to go and everything was on the line. Also the fact that you could die any minute.charizard1605

I think ME3 is a front runner at the very least.

The critics defended it from the fans, it was unheard of and I wouldn't be surprised if these same critics view it in as high regard for GotY.

It's so cute how people assume I have bad taste simply because I don't make threads like this for overhyped "AAA" garbage such as Halo 4. What in the hell is special about this game folks? How does it warrant GOTY? What has it done that's new? Mindless sheep.

Metal is music and Nier is a misunderstood masterpiece.

[QUOTE="TheDidact"]It's funny how people say you have to do something new to get GOTY. Look at Uncharted 2. ME2 didn't innovate that much either aside from importing choices, it just perfected everything in the first game.TheDidact

You are a sheep and you only like what the media tells you to like. Live a little bit and take a trip off the beaten path like I do. You will be surprised by just how damn good a lot of the games are that get totally ignored. Some of them blow these so called AAA franchises out of the water.

Ok so maybe you're not a sheep but don't you think it's a little premature to assume Halo 4 or AssCreed 3 will be GOTY before even playing them?

Er, where were you when we had this dispute in the Halo 4 hype thread? I had to fend off hordes of little rap loving wannabe thugs all by myself:x

Still gonna be Mass Effect 3 for me, the Bioware answered by extending the ending (which I will admit should have been done in the first place), but I still loved it, and am going to do a complete replay the trilogy soon. I personally just love ME, the astmosphere, the environements, music, I enjoy the combat too. The story, characters are amazing.

Well it depends. This is just a prediction for the critics. We could all be wrong and something out of left field takes it. It's always fun to predict what will be GotY even if I end up just playing whatever I want. I mean, you can't even trust the damn critics these days. :P

Gears of War for the bros and hoes. Mass Effect for the scholars and gentlemen. Except for Mass Effect 2. That's also bros and hoes territory. But we'll let it slide in the context of the trilogy.

Very true. From a gameplay perspective.

From a world-building and story-telling perspective, BioWare had the influence (even if CD Projekt was there with them in 2007, but BioWare was bigger and more influential).

This is probably what you should watch to get a good idea of the story. It's only 2ish minutes, and it does a great job.

In BL2? Never heard of a graveyard glitch. What is it?

[QUOTE="NeonNinja"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Gears of War had more influence on this gen than every BioWare game from this gen combined. Saying otherwise is flat-out wrong.DarkLink77

I'm at work so trying to keep these short. :P And my boss is near me.....

I think it has had more of an influence on gaming outside of and within RPGs. If we look at the success of Mass Effect, we start to see how the grander story-telling made way for games to start telling their stories as trilogies, how "choice" in general began getting more implementation in games than before. At the end of the day, ME1 is just a real-time KotOR, ME2 is a character driven Gears of War, and ME3 takes the best aspects of both and combines them. But the idea of building proper, unique worlds also had a major part in gaming this gen. The evolution of dialogue systems came about as well. It's not new in how it plays in anyway at all, if anything it took inspiration from Gears with its later sequels, but it has been influential for many people.

I agree. It's sad no one played Darksiders 2, that was an amazing game too.

I have the PS3 version so that's probably why I haven't heard of it, unless it's on there too.
