I think it's safe to say that Skyrim is GOTY.....

I'm playing on the PS3 and have put in about 30 hours so far (had a long weekend lol) and the game just keeps getting better and better! There is so much to do and see that it drops my jaw sometimes! The game is (mostly) flawless and runs and plays great, haven't had any issues or anything. Bethesda really outdid themselves this time, I can't remember the last time a game had me this engrossed!

I haven't played every game this year obviously, but I doubt they can offerwhat Skyrim does. That's why it's GOTY, anyone else feel this way? And what system are you playing on (just for fun, but don't do the fanboy stuff please)?

LMAO, a bugfest as GOTY?

Anyway, my bet is on Batman AC, and maybe, just maybe, Dark Souls.

its between arkham city and uncharted 3, thats it hands down!!!! dont even mention other games cuz they dont exist for goty buddy!, but i think akrham city will take it for sure

I haven't ran into any bugs, there are a couple glithces here and there, but nothing bad or anything. Have you even played Skyrim yet?

While both of those games are great, I still think Skyrim is the better one. They don't have the engrossing and detailed gameplay that Skyrim is has....

goty where?

God no, i like to play...you know playable games

goty where?

I think Skyrim will win the GOTY from the majoirty of places including GS. Also it is my personal GOTY, but everyone is different....

If the reviewer thnks skyrim is filled with glitches and animations problems then I highly doubt the GS team would let this game win GOTY.He also the editor in cheif no so he holds a lot of power in the decision making for GOTY.

lol nice try buddy ;)

With all the complaints of game-breaking bugs it's more safe to say that Skyrim won't be GOTY.

There was a day one pacth that fixed all that stuff, the reviewversion didn't have the patch so they saw the bugs. Skyrim at launch is great and I haven't ran into any issues with it at all, it's been (mostly) flawless in performance.

for once we agree on something.i havent found any bugs or glitches. i think this game will take the cake

It's too buggy to be GOTY. Just because you haven't experience them doesn't mean nobody else from the 3 million+ players haven't. It would be a damn shame if the game gets GOTY anywhere because it would send a bad message to all the other developers that care for GOTY awards. Anyone I know that has played it has told me about the bugs and glitches I can here by say your fanatic words VS the words of people that would be more honest informing me O:

Dark Souls or Gears of War 3 could get it as well. They're the two highest scoring games here.

Agreed

Though Batman AC is up there to imo

I think the game is an absolute truimph from what I've played. Fantastic game

almasdeathchild

lol the internet will explode, we agree on something :P

But to be honest I think alot of the talk about bugs and stuff are coming from people who haven't played the game and they are just believing what they hear on the internet.

Also if you want to become a werewolf just ask me, I found out how on Skyrim! It's not too hard, don't worry.....

I cant help but lol @ all the Skyrim fans denying the massive amount of bugs in this game :lol:.

God I wish I had a capture device so I could record all the numerous bugs. I could easily fill an hour long youtube video. The floating rocks everywhere, to massive portions of the water textures missing in lakes (the "water" is a flat texture, and entire sections of lakes would have the texture missing. You would see huge portions of the water texture missing, see where it stopped, and about 30 feet away from you it would start again. Your character would even STILL do a swimming animation while floating in mid air because a lake was supposed to be there). Then you have of corse the insane texture pop in (or textures not poping in at all), you have your character walking through objects that should be solid, etc.

Oh, and the insane and incredibly frequent framerate drops (which are big enough a bother for this to be mentioned). To some quests straight up being broken and having to rely on exploits just to proceed, etc...

There is ALOT more BTW. This is just what I brought up off the top of my head.

I never understand the hardcore fans of games who deny things like this when it is widely known that the game is a glitch filled mess (which almost ALL reviews touched upon, and the entire community is b****ing about). I can understand simply negating the significance that all of this has on your experience, and "still enjoying the game anyways" (and all the more power to you), but to flat out DENY that there is anything wrong in the first place is denial.

Bugfest? I'm over 30 hours in and I have encountered nothing that I would consider to be a bug. Have you played the game?

Fallout: New Vegas was a bugfest.

What? No one is denying anything, how can I deny something that I haven't come across? I haven't seen any floating rocks or "flat" water (whatever that means)I haven't seen really many framerate drops, once or twice it happens if I'm ina crowded city or something but it's only for a few seconds until it loads the area. After that the framerate is fine.

I'm sure the game has a few flaws, but I haven't found anything that would suggest the game is a glicth fest. It's been pretty smooth overall and I'm having a blast with it! I'm level 24 right now and just finished the thieves guild and I'm currently in a city (Winterhelm or something) and I'm trying to find a seriel killer who is buthcering women in it, it's pretty scary but awesome because it's so engorssing! I've also killed 5 dragons so far too, but I find guards to help me :P

In short I've put in quite alot of hours so far into Skyrim and I haven't had ANY issues....

Maybe there are bugs, but bugs/glitches are not universal as I have encountered next to nothing after 30 hours.

Every game ever created on the face of the earth has glitches, especially graphical ones, and to say this game contains "massive amounts of bugs" doesn't make sense. Bethesda is known for bugs in their games, but it has to be expected because of the size of the games they make. Anything that is better than Fallout:New Vegas cannot be said to have massive amounts of glitches because New Vegas was awful and nearly un-playable.

Out of the 10+ hours I played and or watched it played first hand, I didn't see any big bugs or glitches, game breaking or otherwise. What are the supposed issues making this game unplayable?

ianuilliam

I have no idea, I haven't seen anything and I've put in about 30 hours so far. I think alot of people who are yelling about it being unplayable due to bugs don't play the game and they are just beliving internet BS. Everyone I know who owns the game hasn't had any issues with it so far. Not saying there arn' glicthes out there, I'm sure there is, but juding from all the hours I put into it so far I haven't found anything that would make it "unplayable" or a "glicth fest". None of my friends have either....

Skyrim is the best game I've played in years. If you like fantasy settings and love the idea of a fully open world, it's absolutely the greatest game ever made. I haven't run into many bugs, but the ones I have run into were hilarious. Like a fox jumping into the water and running around the bottom of a river while I'm searching for slaughterfish.

I'm about 6 hours in and am loving it but the combat is very basic in comparison to The Wither 2 and Dark Souls. Having played both of those games in the past 2 months it makes Skyrim's gameplay somewhat unenjoyable

xLittlekillx

lol ya I found a moose on top of a house, I was like get down from there :P

Overall though nothing game breakingor anything, just the rare and funny glicth like the one you mentioned.

It´s my personal GOTY, that´s for sure! I even think it´s the best game i played this gen :P

Hmm well of the games I've bought that were released this year, I would have to go with SpaceChem. Of course I've only bought that and the Binding of Isaac, so my opinion is probably wrong :P

Nah your opinion isn't wrong, I never heard of those games and I doubt they will get GOTY from most sites or publications, but there is nothing wrong with you liking them as your GOTY. Everyone is different....

I tend to avoid paying full price for games myself also, most I find don't really warrent full price. But Skyrim is different, trust me you won't put down for a LONG time lol.

Witcher 2 is better. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Witcher 2 had serious pacing issues

People have been saying that the real problems kick in when the save file gets over 5MB (On PS3). How big is your save file?

Bethesda will end up doing what they always do and patch the hell out of the game anyway, so all of this won't matter soon.

GOTY. No game is as deep, as long, and as diverse this year as Skyrim.

el3m2tigre

Hmm...I don't know, I know it says it as it's loading but I don't remember the file size. I don't think it's 5 MB yet though. I doubt it will be an issue if I do get to that file size though, I haven't had any issues yet. And if it is than Bethesda will release patch and fix it. I don't belive everything I hear on the internet....

I agree with ya TC. Skyrim is beyond epic. The best RPG I've played this year easily.

Realistically GOTY will come down to Skyrim or Uncharted 3MuayThaiFTW

I think Skyrim is GOTY but yeah Uncharted 3 will be there aswell, along with Batman AC.

i agree, the game is amazing.

I think the contenders will be Skyrim, Dark souls, Gears 3, UC3 and Batman. Among those, I think it will be a close race between Skyrim and DS.
