Subject: IGN's GOTY Nominees

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Destiny should be most anticipated

Maybe by the Bungie fanbase. Beyond that? No one is talking about it or really cares yet.


IGN, Kotaku, and many other news sites posted stories about the leak. Even BBC made an article for Destiny.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Out of those, I'd pick Borderlands 2 or The Walking Dead.

Considering the fact that it sold well and got a lot of hype, how is Dishonored not "mainstream"?

In fact, it's more mainstream than either The Unfinished Swan or Hotline Miami.
It sold better than expected. But I judge 'mainstream' based off of people I know playing it. Relatively few people in the Flood or that I know in real life have given it a shot, which I think is a real shame considering it's the only or at the very least one of a few games I would give a 10/10 this year.

And yes, I'd agree that those other two aren't I suppose. I've never heard of them before.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Journey. That is all.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

approved... minus ME3. Wasn't able to compete with ME2

They included some random game no one's ever heard of(swan0 but not Spec ops: the line? IGNorant's at it again.

Yea, Halo 4's gonna take this cake. Still think it's total garbage, worse than lolReach, IMO. (Keyword: IMO)

How does ME3 make it on the list?


Because it's a well-made game.

I'm surpised yet thankful to see that Blops 2 isn't on the list.

  • 12.05.2012 2:07 PM PDT

THE WALKING DEAD -blam!- YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

So? Gaming sites have an obligation to report things like that. Doesn't mean everyone's 'zomG teh Bungeez nu gaim!!1'.

Like RT said, no one beyond hardcore Bungie fans are psyched for Destiny. As much as you'd hate to believe, Bungie is best known for Halo, and that's pretty much it. To the gaming community at large, they haven't done anything other than that that would warrant them to feverishly wait for Destiny like you are.

No Spec Ops: The Line nomination = not a legitimate GOTY discussion.

No Dishonored?
*sigh*
Mainstream gets all the love. Tis a shame.

I seriously hope you aren't implying that Dishonored is obscure or otherwise not mainstream.

  • 12.05.2012 2:15 PM PDT

Hotline Miami?!?!


What the hell is with all these sites nominating these oversimplified indie games? They do it just for the sake of having indie games on the list, there are plenty of amazing games made my independent developers that deserve to at least be nominated.

Hotline Miami is not one of them.

First in social ranked firefight campaign competitive and ODST goose splatters.

Check out my YouTube Channel

My bet is that Borderlands 2 gets it.

ME3 had a bad ending
Halo 4 got mixed reviews
Dishonoured is too gritty for them to give it GoY but would be a great choice.


Nothing else deserves it.

  • 12.05.2012 2:21 PM PDT

Halo 4 should win. I do love ME3 though, and i can't say much about BL2 since i haven't played it yet(plan on getting it and map pass for Christmas). Screw it..... Skyrim won.

I used to be indecisive, but now i'm not sure.

What's with all the dislike for the Unfinished Swan?
I thought nobody could dislike that game.
It really is a beautiful game!
Basically it's a puzzle game told like a children's story book, the player must splatter paint to reveal these puzzles and parts of the world.
Here's a trailer.
Oh, yeah it's an indi PS3 exclusive.

The lack of FarCry 3, Black Ops 2, and Max Payne 3 would disturb me... but it's IGN, so I guess bad taste in games is to be expected.

Either Far Cry 3 or Dishonored should win.

I think Borderlands 2 deserves GOTY.

  • 12.05.2012 2:37 PM PDT

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

GOTY should go to Borderlands 2 or Halo 4. I'm leaning towards Borderlands, but one of those games should win.

How'd you get that far into the thread and not read the rest of it?

No Halo 4/Black Ops 2?

I don't care if they're 'too mainstream', they're not that bad.

But I would go with Mass Effect 3 or Borderlands 2.
