This.

And if God truly exists Team ICO will release their game by Christmas.

Ico was late '01, SotC late '05. Going by that pattern it'll be late '09 if we're lucky.

Are you guys fucking retarded?
What happened to fallout 3???

LOL, bethesda happened.
[/quote]

I still don't see the issue with bethesda. Wait and see if they actually ruined the game or not before saying they did.
From what I see, the game is going to be great.
I just find myself hoping that some brotherhood of steel will run up to me and scream "STOP CRIMINAL SCUM!"

Considering Oblivion was a crockload of shit for those of us that are actual RPG players, I'm not holding my breath that anything they make could hold a candle to the greatest PC RPG of all time.
[/quote]

Your opinion, I thought Oblivion was pretty great. It had its problems, but if you apply it's gameplay philosophies to fallout, it has potential.

[Vongore]

For me.. uhm

Brawl gave me hours of fun.. and it's honestly, the only game i've bought this year (i still depend on my parents to buy games, they are 70$ here ;_

no... just... NO! God Oblivion was the textbook case of how you can have an awesome engine but make one of the worst most bland RPG's of all time... And that's not even starting about the levelling system and all the other epic mistakes...

I wouldn't consider the levelling system bad.  It was just different, and had its strengths and weaknesses.

That was the worst design choice ever... It made the game easy as fuck for combat players and impossible for the people who went for non-combat skills... And weak enemies who got epically strong when you levelled up totally killed any suspension of disbelief I had...

[KarthXLR]

Portal.

Better than the crap we got this year.


'cept for spore and L4D


Now how freaking long will it take them to announce Episode Three?!

[Versus]

Oblivion was decent...with a couple dozen mods loaded.

SSB Brawl.
Starcraft II.
Hopefully Fallout 3.
Left 4 Dead.
Spore.

[copulatingduck]

Versus' Mom

[Fail Medic]

Oblivion was decent...with a couple dozen mods loaded.

Yeah, like "Basic Instinct", Female_EyeCandy_BodyReplacement, BTMOD Customization, LOD Texture Replacement Pack, etc. 

I ultimately did enjoy Oblivion.  Sameness of environment elements and bad-taste-in-mouth levelling system aside, I did enjoy the Martin story and the stories that emerged through the guild quests.  I also enjoyed the sandbox element with certain mods. 

Would Audiosurf qualify?  What about No More Heroes?  My gaming scope this year has literally been 90% TF2 and 10% other things so I'm pretty unqualified to nominate anything.

[Wedge]

TF2?  It's like... still sort of out... coming out... constantly.... something.

Fuck I dunno, the only game from this year I've played a lot is FFTA2, so I choose that so far.

[Wedge]

Oh and on console the GOTY is Castle Crashers hands down.  It was amazing when I played it TWO YEARS ago.  So it must be the greatest game ever now.

I play the flash version almost every day.. I really need an Xbox

[Tragic Hero]

I would throw No More Heroes in there although that is more of a "emotional pick" than a logical one.  All and all I am going to have to put my money on Spore for GOTY.

[ScottyGrayskull]

I would throw No More Heroes in there although that is more of a "emotional pick" than a logical one.

I was going to say, because aside from the character design and art style the game wasn't all that good. Even the 'good' ending was disappointing.
