Sorry but I completely disagree with your SMG assessment. A GoTY should be fun for a large group of people, and a game like Bioshock just isn't fun to a very large segment of the gaming public. SMG hits that standard and it hits it hard.

Seriously if fun isn't the benchmark then why are you gaming?

The game of the year is the game that gets rated the best, not what's fun for the most number of people. That might be your game of the year criteria, but when they choose game of the year they go by which one is better, it doesn't matter if it only appealed to 5 people and sold 2 copies.

Also I don't play video games only for fun so thanks but I'll stay gaming.

On the bolded part: You didn't answer the question though, why are you gaming if not for fun? Seriously that makes zero sense to me. Why would you spend time and money if you are not enjoying yourself? That is lunacy and honestly a little sad if that is what you are really saying.

Aside from that we are getting into an area where neither of us is qualified to discuss much of anything and that is how good SMG really is. But its nice to know you discount it out of hand simply because its a sequel and yet by your very own standard it should be based soley on how good it is. Sorry but I find that hypocritical, you are cutting away the good and leaving in the bad and only where it suits you.

PS - Why did you make another topic on this when there was already a current one going?

Where did I discount it? Stop putting words into my mouth. I said I won't consider it for game of the year period. It will probably be one of the best games of the year from the looks of it.

Also, did I say I don't have fun? I said I don't play games just for fun. There are other things I look for in games too other than the fun part. How would I be playing something if I didn't enjoy it. Also, the other thread is about what game people consider game of the year, this is not game of the year, this is the top 10 games according to my opinion of the year so far. They're both very different things.
