GOTY awards are demeaning. There are too many great games that are released every year to prop one up above all of the others. Not to mention they are COMPLETELY subjective most of the time.

Last year me and my friends argued so much over if Mass Effect 2 or Red Dead Redemption was GOTY that it felt ridiculous. The only way it'll work is if GotY stands for GameS of the Year.

Mass Effect 2, duh!

Spike doesn't know what they are doing, in 2007 Super Mario Galaxy wasn't even a nominee despite being GOTY on most websites and getting the highest Metacritic of the year.

i disliked Mass effect 2 intensely. i thought RDR was wayyy beter.

Mass effect seemed to try to hard to be a shooter, but had terrible shooting and cover mechanics, the animations and action wer extremely stiff looking, and really took me out of the experience.

Did you like Mass Effect 1?

Mass Effect 2 is is one of my favorite games, I thought the gameplay was pretty damn good. An RPG which played like a TPS, and with damn good pacing. It's one of my top 5 video games ever, and I feel the exact opposite about the game from you.

As for Red Dead, I'm not a fan of westerns. Played the game for a bit and felt the controls were a downgrade from Grand Theft Auto 4. Didn't care much for the story or atmosphere.

no not really, but more than 2.

in fact i cant really see how people consider it a good game, let alone a great game. it just seems pretty shitty to me.

i mean, i can at least see how Skyrim can be considered a good (great) game. it has good and fun core mechanics, packed to the brim with content. but it is still weighed down by its bugginess, and glitchyness, which can not be ignored, and should not have been ignored by the reviewers. and like i said, it was rather convienently overlooked by reviewers until a few days after release.

but it still look s like an indredibly fun game, and great game. i would say worthy of a high 80's score, like 87%. but a game that buggy should never get the mid to high 90's it got. unfortunately i can not say the same thing about Mass effect, which seems like at best an 80 to me.
