God of war goty

Ok I just got the horrible thought that gow might get goty... I almost threw up really if any sight gives it goty. I will blacklist it same goes for tv channels just wanted to put my opinion out there and was wondering what other people thought

I highly doubt it. It is an amazing game, I don't doubt it. The visuals are spectacular and the action is insane, but it just doesnt stack up to God of War 2 in terms of story and atmosphere. The gameplay also feels a bit too recycled. It's not enough to get GOTY.

There is only one real contender at the moment and thats Mass Effect 2. .

It has a good chance of getting the award but 360 has halo bring the competition!

All the website podcasts I listen to, and I listen to a lot of the, are all saying that their favorite game this year is still Mass Effect 2. GoW3 was good, but Mass Effect 2 tops it.

I still think that Halo: Reach will pwn all, but if Mass Effect 2 wins GOTY I wouldn't argue.

If God of War III won, I wouldn't be upset, it's a fantastic game and is a sure-fire contender for GOTY.

I don't think ME2 will get GOTY, it just doesn't stack up to Mass Effect in terms of story, atmosphere and the general feeling you get whilst playing the game. Mass Effect brought lots of fresh and innovative ideas to the table but Mass Effect 2 just capitalised on this so we have a bad environments, mediocre innovation and it just seems recycled.

Recycled? Wait what game did you play?

Its called a sequel for a reason... Just look at the God of War games... really innovating.... Mass Effect 1 was to buggy imo, and the story was on par with the story in Mass 2. Its the highest rated game this year (so far), it will probably stay there... The only thing i can see that will put it of its throne this year is if TES 5 will release... Nothing else... Not even Reach or Fable 3...

Again, it sounds like you have never played the game... Bad enviroments.... You mean compared to the excellent generic worlds in Mass 1?
Yes you are entitled to an opinion... but it sounds like you havent played it... Everyone that has says it is an improvement to Mass 1 in every aspect.

GOW3 probably won't win GOTY, but it's a great game so I won't be at all upset even if it does. I would only go so far as to boycott a site if they awarded it to something undeserving like Just Dance.

wow dude, that sounds like you haven't seen a single gameplay video let alone play the game. Tell me how you can judge a game when you are never seen it?

A sequel is suppose to be similar to the previous game.
It's Mass Effect 2, not "different game 2"

Bad environments!? Get hell outta hear.

i didnt mean to sound like a fanboy or anything but really a 8-16 hour game with limited to no replayablilty should not get goty it would just make a mockery out of the title goty in my eyes

I was just twisting what ghost23 said. Most sequels don't redefine the core of the game. Mainly the visuals and the fluidity of the gameplay.

Have you played the game? Do you know if it has a lot of replayability? From what I've heard, it absolutely does. I know people who have played the game numerous times over and over and over. Just because a game isn't open-world or doesn't have multiplayer doesn't mean it lacks replayability. Who cares how long the game is? As long as it's enjoyable, length shouldn't matter. Portal is only two or three hours long, but it's one of my favorite games this gen. If you're complaining about the length, that means that the game is good, because you obviously want more.

yes ive played portal and portal is good but portal isnt a full retail game with years of development. from what ive heard it doesnt and from my expierence with single player games is that once you know the story whats the motivation to watch/play it again which is why i dont buy movies because i watch them once and their never that good again and length does matter if you cant get more than a few hours of enjoyment out of a 60$ game is it really worth it?(also i never beat the game because the story wasnt in my eyes good or maybe it was the charecters idk)

Ahh but you see. Mass Effect 2 totally redefined the combat. If you had played it you would know. Mass Effect 1 shooting felt horrible. Mass Effect 2 shooting is nearly on par with Gears of War 2.

I thought Mass Effect 2 was outstanding. Its a game worthy of GOTY in my eyes.

I played the Gears of War 2 campaign numerous times . . . touched the multiplayer maybe once. Sometimes the gameplay is good enough or the story is interesting enough that you'll want to replay the game.

I'd honestly rather get a few great hours out of single-player than put hundreds of hours into a mediocre multiplayer or a mediocre open-world game.

Haven't picked up ME2 yet because it's so damn expensive... I don't have $119 lying around just before SC:C and AW

LOL do u actually buy games at $119? Don't take the bullshit that EB Games puts out because games shouldn't be retailing at $119. I buy all my standard editions at either $99 for big titles or $79 for smaller titles. The only time i pay more than that is for special editions.

A video game cost $119 where you live? Holy crap that's expensive! Even $99 brand new is insane. I'll never bitch about paying $50-$60 ever again. God bless America.

Yeh i always find it annoying when people bitch about paying $60 for a game. I'd do anything to only pay $60. Even taking into account import costs and exchange rates, shit it still overpriced by like 50% in Aus.
