Oh boohoo if you charge $10 more than games costs in other places what do yoi except? Why buy from gamestop when there are 100 other retailers that are cheaper??
@Hynaboy: Before ps2 era i was only a nintendo fanboy and still is somewhat. I own every nintendo home console (except the wii u) but i really dont think any of their games except ocarina of time and Mario 64 deserve goty ( in this time frame) they are really great games though. My top 5 games of all time is super Metroid. That game unfortunately is older than gamespot.
Ps sorry for late reply usually dont hang out at gamespot.
@alan_wake1: What he probably ment was that the console haven't started production yet. This usually happens about 5-6 months before launch. It will be out in March, they just stalling because they want awesome software to be revealed at their announcement.
@delphin: The only tool here is you. Calling people tools for suggesting that games that where clearly winner of goty by a huge margin is the goty. GTA 4 and 5 got goty the years they came out by the industry as a whole. People are of course entitled to their own opinions, but saying that GTA and Uncharted are garbage, basically is like admitting to having bad taste.
My list was basically just a rehash of games that got goty by the most news outlets of that year, with a few exceptions (which i pointed out) and counter-strike is probably one of the most liked and talked about games of all time, hell the game even has a pro league just for women, its not a game anymore its a sport.
Probably never seen a list with more errors. Its not even matter of opinion here, you picked a game that was great but clearly didn't deserve goty every year with very few exceptions, years i did not mention i agree with your choice.
1997. FF7
1998. Zelda was a good pick, so was grim fandango, but Half-Life 1 was goty, but that its just my opinion so not a bad choice.
1999. Counter-Strike
2000. Diablo 2, Deus Ex, FFIX all better than Chrono cross, and the clear winner is Baldurs Gate 2
2001. MGS2
2003. Star Wars Kotor
2004. Half-Life 2
2006. Oblivion
2008. GTAIV and Fallout 3 are better than MGS4
2009. Uncharted 2
2010. Mass Effect 2 imo. RDR was a good choice though
2012. This year is hard, but ME3, Dishonered, Hotline Miami (my goty) and Xcom, where all better than Journey. Also The Walking Dead, which got goty from VGA was good, but not better than the games mentioned imo.
2013, GTAV and Last of Us (which was my goty) definitely better than Zelda.
2014 This was a bad year, but plenty of games where better than Shadow of Mordor. DA:I, Dark Souls 2, Hearthstone, Smash Bros and my personal GOTY Shovel knight. Where all better than Shadow of Mordor.
