Pachter says Mass Effect 2 is a strong darkhorse for GOTY. Do you agree?

I disagree that its a dark horse as Bioware is making it.

A dark horse getting GOTY would be like Alan Wake getting GOTY

ME2 has prospects for this award, but first it needs to overcome FFXIII for the best RPG before even thinking bout GOTY. But the way sites give awards is odd

example -- uncharted 2 lost in its own genre category at the VGA's but won the overall GOTY! lol

FF13 isn't true competition for Mass Effect 2.

I know FF13 is a JRPG & ME2 a WRPG

but the awards don't have a WRPG & JRPG award, they have an RPG award, so they are competing for the same award at the end of the day.

 

Yeah, and at the end of the day EA Sports will have a game with a lot of awards, just like the first Mass Effect. Final Fantasy wont be much competition on a critical basis. As far as popularity Final Fantasy wins, but you know the hardcore will make sure to vote Mass Effect for RPG of the year when the voting starts kicking in.
