Does Destiny really have any competition for GOTY?

It just won't happen, fighting games aren't on the level of story-quality or emotional quality or have those ONE of a kind moments in which you will remember for a long time, their just fighting games, they aren't doing anything different, fighting games are fighting games. The formula doesn't change for them, look at U2, Journey, The Last of Us, Portal 2, they are very different from their specific genres. And if it does get GOTY, the people who game it probably haven't played the rest of the games that's why I like Gamespot and IGNs method of choosing GOTY, all the votees play the GOTY contenders. 

Then why are people saying Destiny is going to get GOTY? It doesn't seem to have much to offer in the story department. Its just a FPS game in the same way Smash is just a fighting game (except Smash is much more fringe than Destiny is). Saying story and emotion are the deciding factor on GOTY seems a little...strange

Really? You're going to say it's story is bad just from the beta? I also think Destiny offers a very different experience from your typical FPS, most FPS don't have this many RPG elements, hell I've played tons of FPS and I've never seen one with any RPG elements. Also can you really say Destiny is similar to any game? I don't see any game offering you the ability to explore the moon, venus, etc. I wasn't planning on buying Destiny on launch but once I saw the RPG elements, loot and customization of the items I pre-ordered. You could say it's very much like Borderlands but just adding something generic like a skill tree doesn't make a RPG. 

All I'm saying is there is no way in hell a fighting game will get GOTY, never going to happen.  I'm also not saying that Destiny will win GOTY but it has a good chance, there aren't any big games this year. Dragon Age, I'm sure people won't like it for the hand carrying.
