Subject: Why is Halo 4 not a nominee for GOTY?

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNĒ¢UM

It's because it is far from GotY material.

I know, but they don't seem worth it to ME. I just feel like there isn't too much you can do with with First Person Shooting. I haven't played Far Cry 3, but Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 don't seem worthy og GOTY to me.
Keep in mind I mean First Person Shooters only.
Dishonored is First Person, but not a Shooter and seems very worthy of GOTY to me.

If we are excluding things like FPS RPG's then I see your point. As for Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 I agree they really aren't worthy of GpTY. Borderlands 2 has a ton of issues with replayability, story, and end game among other things. Halo 4 is more or less a half finished game with a ton of things lacking. As for Far Cry 3 I haven't played it, but a bunch of people compare it to Skyrim which is I guess good even though Skyrim imo has a lot more to it than Far Cry 3. Really out of what came out this year Far Cry 3 is probably the best bet at winning GoTY.

The best performance by a human male is lacking Michael Mando as Vaas Montenegro. Everything lacks Far Cry 3.
This. This, this, this. It -blam!- blows that a lot of GOTY awards for different companies (IGN, Spike, etc.) aren't giving Farcry enough love because it was released so late.

Cause it alienated a large portion of its fan base to attempt to gain the CoD crowd.

My third montage!

I didn't think games still in beta qualified?

In all seriousness I don't think it deserves GOTY honors. Certainly it could compete for shooter of the year.

The Walking Dead game should win, the ending made me want to...

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

Halo 4 is too casual friendly and broken to get my vote.

  • 12.07.2012 11:30 AM PDT

I thought it was.

  • 12.07.2012 11:31 AM PDT

Do they only nominate game of the years that are multiplatform?

  • 12.07.2012 11:32 AM PDT

Halo 4 sucked. Where is Farcry 3?

No. Bioshock overwhelmingly won in 2007 and it was an Xbox 360 exclusive at the time. Uncharted 2 pretty much won every GOTY in 2009 and it's a PS3 exclusive.

If a man is not willing to die for something then he is unfit to live.

Wasn't worth nominating. I finally got to play it and it's not amazing. It looks pretty but the gameplay isn't as great.

Halo 4 isn't a nominee for GOTY simply because there's a lot more games that have been better than Halo 4 this year.

Why exactly does it matter? I'm not trying to be an ass, but who cares what gets nominated, or what wins?

Because some people find it isn't worthy?
Thats not hard to understand.

  • 12.07.2012 11:51 AM PDT

i honestly do not beleive a fair bit of the nominees are worthy. (mostly asscree3 because it was actually pretty bad) i would have also liked to see guild wars 2 as a nominee. and they should have though of some thing better than me3, because NO ONE is going to vote for it.

  • 12.07.2012 11:51 AM PDT

You better close this sig when your done.

FPSs never seem worthy of GOTY to me.

What there are multiple FPS that are GoTY?
I know, but they don't seem worth it to ME. I just feel like there isn't too much you can do with with First Person Shooters. I haven't played Far Cry 3, but Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 don't seem worthy of GoTY to me.

Dishonored is First Person, but not a Shooter and seems very worthy of GOTY to me.
I think Borderlands 2 is worthy of it. Its story was great, the drop in drop out co-op was really well done and its just a lot of fun!

Story was crap for the most part, the singleplayer is lacking, the replayability is lacking, and the end game is just crap. It really doesn't deserve GoTY.

  • 12.07.2012 11:55 AM PDT

Save Cortana

Single player was really good. But yeah, it was really short as well. I think it only took like 7 hours for me to beat on Legendary.

Like I said its good, and length doesn't necessarily mean bad. But I would have liked a satisfied feeling at the end; I'm just trying to think where they're going to send the story in the next two games with the ending as it is.

TL;DR: It was short and unsatisfying and seemed like it was a little rushed in the story department. But I really like it and it's all around a good game.
