Why didn't the PC have a single GOTY Exclusive Gen7?

Then i guess Tomb Raider = Uncharted then.

I truly feel sorry for you if you had to play jaggy vanilla skyrim on a console.

And teh mods

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner!

You ask the question while acknowledging in your own post that GEARS OF WAR won a GOTY award.

PC exclusives are generally strategy games. Fewer cutscenes, more reading.

As a matter of fact, that actually describes games like Gran Turismo and Street Fighter, doesn't it?

These editors don't build bridges. Their opinions are, for the most part, entertainment only.

a better version yea.

Mostly because StarCraft II got robbed.

A lot of damage control for hermits. We may have a lot of games on the pc to play but that does not mean missing out on some of the best games of all time does not matter. Just because the game is held to "higher standards" does not mean it wont win goty. The best game would win because its a great game not because its on a system with low standards.

Woah there TC. PCs lack of many multiplats and scarce exclusives is a sore spot for hermits

You might want to explain that post in English.

is that a joke

Because it makes a console seem better in the face of hundreds of A, AA and AAA rated games.

Because gaming "journalists" are too busy giving awards to overrated linear moviegames like TLoU made by exceeedingly overrated developers who make linear moviegame after linear moviegame after linear moviegame where the best strong point is its presentation.

What's funny though is the lengths people go to on this forum to make an argument for their favourite platform. GOTY and exclusive. As if either makes any difference at all to the quality or quantity of quality games on the PC. Gather as many specific criteria as possible to construct an argument that can only go in your favour. Let's have 1. GOTY awards for 2. exclusives only and 3. by GameSpot only.

@lostrib:

Sorry, only exclusives matter.

?

You take this GOTY crap seriously? lol.

This entire thread is a joke.

You can't mention that Gears of War won the GOTY award in 2006 and then pretend the GameSpot GOTY award goes to the best game. It doesn't. I'd wager people enjoy and play X3: Reunion, Sims 3, Guild Wars, Simcity 4, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Rome: Total War, more than they do any of these GOTY winners.

What really boggles my mind is the best games that consoles have to offer - fighting games, driving games - don't win GOTY awards either, even though people play these games for a very very long time compared to most of the GOTY winners.

Normally I'd feel sorry for people who can't afford a nice PC and can't put in the effort required to learn how to play the best strategy and building games on the platform. But not these people.

But posting anything does seem like a waste, doesn't it? I mean, if they can't read instruction manuals, they've got no chance of understanding why their posts are so stupid.

@-Unreal-: shame. That overrated movie making dev, has three AAA titles and a AA, with two winning more goty awards than any other game of the gen. Better get use to it. Cinematic games arent going anywhere, and continue to be the best gaming experience.

@lostrib:

C'mon, don't be like that.

perhaps in your opinion

Shame what? It's not a shame for me. Why would it be? Hilariously you undermined your own argument that they are the best gaming experience after mentioning they're movies and cinematic.

The reply system makes me unsure of exactly what post you mean. But you are wrong, COD is all that matters

even Red Dead Redemption not released on PC,

so...?

Every console has less high scoring games than PC.

Also, factually Gears of War is not exclusive. xbox360 had no exclusive gotys either. Time exclusive is arbitrary SW bullshit.

@lostrib:

Well yeah, CoD is the king.

Until Titanfall!

@lostrib:

I've seen Titanfall and it's not even special.

you're not special

LOL i didn't even know there was a xbox360 goty, but i know a lot of ps3 goty though

Your thread is a sign of insecurity.

@lostrib:

Rude.

@jhonMalcovich: that's the unreality of this place. People talk about exclusives as so important, meanwhile in reality its total game library that sways me. PS/PC, and 360/PC games really add to the library if you only own consoles.

That rat at the end doesn't belong with the others.

This is amazing. No one has still answered the question, you all just jump around. Talk about insecurity. I love gaming on my PC and all, but wow PC fanboys are just ridiculous.

Some of us actually answered the question, but then again... Many of you are showing a very short attention span or selective reading

nothin just saying, the only goty games that is on pc gen7 is Skyrim and Far Cry 3

@blamix99:

Gears of War is on PC and you can even play the Wii GOTY

Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Spelunky, Path of Exile, and I recall amnesia getting GOTY too and that's a PC exclusive

Spelunky and Path of Exile didn't win goty here

Hard to get people to give PC games the nod for year end awards during deliberations when the vast majority of editors don't game on PC. But then again, a "gamer" who's a reviewer that doesn't game on PC is like a car critic that doesn't drive stick.

cause there isnt as much money in it

@StrongBlackVine:

Don't care about your shitty opinions.

I didn't expect you to change it for me. She looks like shit regardless.

@StrongBlackVine:

What a douche.

Not only that, but the PS3 and 360 had more nominations overall. I believe the Wii did as well if you only count exclusives, but I am not entirely sure.

PC standard is as good as Day Z, League of Legends, and plenty of 16 bit indies flooding the Steam store. In other words, much lower quality than console games.

really? they let this tool bag come back?

Because noone really can possibly like playing games on a desk and tiny screen and paying an arm and a leg for that too

GOTY ShMOTY ! Id rather have Mods and Expansion Packs !
