Maybe. We should have this conversation when, you know, more than 5 games have been released this year.


we know what coming... what has a chance of beating it?  only a handful of games at the most.

Do you really think the market is that predictable and boring? I don't think anyone would have thought Arkham Asylum would be a GOTY contender back in early 2009, but it ended up being a spectacular game and a major contender. Just wait.


yeah... you are right as always.... "no not likely" and "thats impossible" are perfectly reasonable answers.  interesting that those voters didnt post.

Well I am a voter that voted for "that's impossible" and here's my reasoning. The game is amazing and obviousley critically acclaimed. But it is wayyyy to early in the year for GOTY to come out. Almost 70% of media outlets will not give this game GOTY simply based on the reason that it came out so long ago. Sadly, the media tends to vote for things that are fresh in their heads.This is very stupid and sad but it's true. It especially comes into play when you remember that games like Halo Reach, GT5, God of War, Final Fantasy, Alan Wake and possibly Last Guardian are going to be released this year.

Three great examples of this from last year: Killzone 2, GTA: China Town Wars and Street Fighter IV. All scored higher than 91 on Meta too.
