Game of the Year

[KaveX]

Since I was recently watching a bunch of Game of the Years on websites, Spike, etc. I was wondering.. What would be your pick for Game of the Year? (2010 of course.)

Mine would be Red Dead Redemption. That game is amazing.

I would agree on Red Dead Redemption. Fantastic storywriting, voice acting, atmosphere and really immersive with plenty to do and it was a new IP and actually got me interested in a time period that isnt touched on much in games.

For those who know me, my choice for Fable 3 as the game of the year wouldn't be the least bit shocking, am I right? There is a massive amount of people who would disagree with that choice though.

Why is it your GoY?

The only games I've played from this year are Fable 3, Halo Reach (both of which I found a bit dissapointing) and Fallout New Vegas, which I'm currently loving, so naturally my vote would go to Fallout NV.

Fallout new vegas. I spent 100 hours on it.

 

[Daemon300]

AC:B of course.

I agree with Daemon. Although I may have played too little games to make a good comparance. But I do love that game.

Of this year, I have played Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and Fable III. I have been dying to obtain myself a copy of Red Dead Redemption.

Of those... Brotherhood has a more thought out storyline, and some great combat, and Assassin's Creed, ALWAYS... ALWAYS improves with their games. I find Brotherhood an extremely worthy title for the spot in my opinion.

However, like I always do, I always find Fable III drawing me to it. Once I beat Brotherhood I was like.. "Great game, very nice, pretty neat. Love it." However I had no motivation to freeplay on it... I had no motivation to continue or replay the game.

But Fable III? I did, I found myself WANTING to replay it, I found myself wanting to play it LONG after I even beat it. However, I seem to dislike the fact that the MAIN STORY was a bit to short, and the side quests could be sacrificed to lengthen it. I found it was hyped up like its predecessors. Nevertheless, I wanted it more, and more, and more. I WANT to play that game, unlike Assassin's Creed.

To put it simple, Brotherhood suceeds at the story, graphics, and combat, and new features... however it lacks a lasting impression.
Fable III on the other hand, lacks severely at length, and well-thought processes, however has a MUCH more greater lasting impression and the graphics aim high with Brotherhood. IF Brotherhood and Fable III shared the Pros of one another, then that'd be the game to reckon with.

Don't get me wrong, Brotherhood was MAGNIFICENT. And as opposed to many, Fable III was great and it did something most games cannot: It Delivered. We got everything we were told we'd get right? To my knowledge.

But from what I heard, Red Dead Redemption was great... since I ain't played it I won't know.

It's pretty much what TJ said, except I was not disappointed at all with the things that he considers to be Fable 3's shortcomings. The main point, however, is that its replayability cannot be matched. Even with TLC and Fable 2, I could be a different kind of character every time I play through the game, and now with Fable 3, the morphing weapons and the plethora of legendary ones increased the amount of different characters I could make by easily 100%. It's a different experience every time I play through it. That's the reason I've beaten it eight times when it's barely been out for two months, and that's the reason I've beaten its preceders 30 times each. In fact, when I'm finished with this post, I'm going to go start my ninth game, and I'm still legitimately excited about it.

Mass Effect 2.
Amazing game. No doubt one of the best games ever released.

Runner-Ups would have to be Battlefield: BC2, Fable 3, and Red Dead: Redemption. They were all great releases this year, but Mass Effect 2 is just amazing.

 

[Arseface]

I wanted to say AC Brotherhood, but then I remembered that it's basically ACII. Then I also remembered that Mass Effect 2 came out this year.

Probs Mass Effect 2.

Disclaimer: I was not interested in RDR in the slightest, and although I have played New Vegas, I ended up trading with a friend for Fallout 3 GOTY, let him beat it, and I get it back next week, now that it has been patched I plan to play it.

In order from favorite this year that I have played to least favorite.
1. Halo: Reach
2. Starcraft II
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Final Fantasy 13
5. Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
6. STALKER Call of Pripyat
7. Assassins Creed II
8. AVP

 

[L0ki]

This is crazy, but I actually would say Red Dead Redemption.

StarCraft 2 would be close second.

I can't believe I chose a console game over a PC one.

I would agree 100% Necro.

Mass Effect 2.

That game just oozed tastiness...gets my vote.

 

[Zjuggernaut]

Fallout New Vegas wasn't THAT good.. Put it next to Fallout 3 and it's bad when you compare them. It feels like one huge expansion and the story isn't gripping.

Red Dead Redemption gets my vote without any trouble. Within one week, my game time was 3 days. It was fantastic and the story was just amazing... By the end, it felt like I'd watched the most fantastic western film ever made.

EDIT:

And FIFA.

Really? Your avvie and signature suggested otherwise...
