Since nobody is actually answering this question I will. This year was huge in games.

Gears of War 3
Portal 2
Skyrim
Batman ArkhamCity
Battlefield 3
Modern Warfare 3
Uncharted 3
Mortal Kombat
Rage
Dead Island
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
Forza 4

And the list goes on and on. I love LBP but it does not deserve game of the year. Let's see, its a sequel so it lost it's originality and more of the same. Storyline, barely.

All the Games that got nominated were very well deserved. Gears 3 is the only one that people were baffled about. On Machinima Gears 3 won 3 awards and 1 being GoTY.

dont want to start any fanboy war or list wars... but Machinima are hardly objective non biased company. they are hige xbox fanboys.

most of them hardly even know what a playstation is. heck when the last time you saw them do videos of a ps3 game? heck, just watch the video they did of the Uncharted 3 summer beta. none of them knew how to play, new the buttons or anything. in one scene the guy tries to use a zipline, and the on screen prompt says to press "X" and all you see is Nathan drake meleeing over and over again. and the guy gives up trying to use the zipline. it because the guy was pressing the mellee button which is Square, which is the same location as "X" on xbox. also none of the guys knew how to reload, they kept pressing mellee, and not once figured it out.

none of them use a ps3, or at the very least use it with any frequency.

they dont care about ps3, or play the ps3.


My point is that Gears is an amazing game and I don't care if you like 360 or not you can still see that.  One of the best stories of this gen a long with a great multiplayer.  And if you haven't noticed it is also the best rated shooter of the year.  Beat out both Battlefield and Call of duty.

If you don't count Uncharted 3, that is.


I was talking about 360.  And Gears has better shooting elements than Uncharted easily.  I love Uncharted but that is because the story, not the shooting.


thats very much opinion. one that I whole heartedly disagree with. for me Uncharted by has the best third person shooting elements out of any game.


Agreed. Uncharted does get a slightly bad rep when it comes to shooting mechanics. A lot of people think of the cinematic experiences & platforming as the highlights of the series and oftentimes declare the shooting as mediocre. I personally believe Uncharted has the best shooting mechanics of any third-person game, and I don't see how anyone could declare it mediocre. It just handles so smooth & responsive, even when compared to Gears. It's espescially impossible to delcare one (Uncharted or Gears) as 'easily' superior since they're clearly offering differing experiences. I really don't think Uncharted's shooting could be declared mediocre by any objective measure. Note: this isn't completely in a reply to Jay, I just felt like saying this.

OT: I'm not the one to get upset over my favorite games not receiving a certain award or score, but this is pretty odd. LittleBigPlanet 2 is an excellent game, it's an unanimous improvement over the 2008 winner, and was met with critical acclaim pretty much everywhere. It's kind of shocking that the game has received NO nominations (not wins, but nominations) from ANY websites. Just based on the sheer number of nominations created, it should have received a few nominations. But I guess that's what happens when you release in January and have so many breathtaking games released in the next 11 months.


Yeah thanks and that is what I was saying, Uncharted is not known for its shooting elements.

Have you all even played gears 3?  I know this is a huge sony site as it has prooved time and time again.  And I am not talking about playing one time, but actually owning it and being able to play hours upon hours. I own uncharted and its one of my favorite games, but their is a reason it is listed as an action adventure.  The main focus is not about shooting.  

yes, yes i have i usually play lots of co-op with my roomate. since he is the one with an xbox.

dont get me wrong, Gears shooting is just fine, but it has no recoil, the guns all feel the same, and i dont like its 3rd person view as much as Uncharted, the refrigerators characters are too close to the screen and take up to much space, and prefer being about to freely rotate the camera independently of the character.

uncharted, you can move the camera freely, much more of the screen is open to see the enviroment, the guns all feel defferent with different recoils.

and its an action/adventure game because its so much more than a shooter. it has shooting, platforming, puzzles, brawlling.

gears has shooting.



Reasonable on 17 December 2011

Early release, probably judged too similar to LBP (although in fact it actually represents a bigger jump over LBP than any other sequel this year has respective to its franchise) and I feel the fact it's a fun, cheery jaunt just doesn't seem to sit well on HD consoles right now vs gritty titles.  I also think that it did feel a little less impactful - the changes to the game engine were fantastic and the new editing a massive jump, but the campaign and evocation of the world of LBP actually felt a little weaker somehow IMO.

So while it's arguably a shame - and I've definitely seen worse games nominated here and there - it's also probably not a huge surprise either.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Because, although it's a great game, the games winning most of the overall awards (Skyrim, Zelda, Batman and Portal) are all better.

The shooting mechanics in all Uncharted games aren't that good really. Quite a few better TPSs available (Gears being the prime example), but it's good enough for most people and since it's not the only gameplay mechanic, it's forgivable. Platforming is far better and makes easily up for it. (Better than any Tomb Raider game)

Anyway, why are we talking about Uncharted or Gears now ?
Please keep the discussion about LBP2 from now on.

not really. Last year Mass Effect 2 was nominated for and won plenty of GOTY awards, and xbox game of the year awards, and it was released in January as well.

Littlebigplanet 2 just wasn't that amazing of a game. Sure its awsome that you can recreate pacman or make a computer in the game, but that just awsome for a grand total of 10 seconds before you realize just playing the actual verison of pac man is a lot more fun, and there is no point in a littlebigplanet computer. The game is just a mediocre platformer combined with an amazing map builder... Sure its awsome to build your own crazy map for the few people that actually do that, but there is absolutly no map thats actually fun to play  after the intital holy shit did someone really make this moment.

nailed it right there, lbp1 had enough newness factor, saying lbp2 needs nominations is like saying the PS3 dev kit deserves nominations for goty, its just not enough of a game



Everyday I'm hustlin'.

LMAO just shutup why you are ahead haha co-op?  that's it?  YOu don't even own a 360 do you?  Every gun feels wayyyy different haha Retro Lancer kicks like a B*tch btw.  It also has some of the most creative weapons.  And once again Uncharted is an ACTION ADVENTURE WITH TPS ELEMENTS.....I have played every Uncharted game around 30 to 40 hours each and I have played each gears game with at least 200 hours on each(NOT comparing times), what I am saying is that I know how these games work while people like you have no clue on what you are talking about but say it anyways.

what are you talking about?

why would i shut up? Yes, i dont own a 360 (theres no point, the only exclusive game i want are the gears games, and i will never pay for online), so my room-mate does, so i get to play xbox all the time. since school started i have got to play and complete all Gears campaigns, play online, and co-op. but i pprimarly play co-op

i have put nearly 50 hours into gears 3 co-op alone.

i gave my reasons why i feel Uncharted has better shooting, and i stand by that. gears has great shooting mechanics as well, but i feel that Uncharted has better.

i dont see why you cant accept that i have a different opinion than you, but to say Uncharted has bad or mediocre shooting is disengenious.

i have explained why Uncharted is known as an action/adventure game and not a shooter. its because it is so much more than just a shooter.

Gears of War is called a shooter because its just a shooter.

saying i have no clue what im talkng about is just stupid.

both games are great shooters, i just prefer Uncharted 3 shooting much more. its much more flexible, and realistic (see: recoil), i see more of the screen while aiming, and i can do 360 degree pans with the camera., etc.

Why I say that you don't know what you are talking about?  Simply because you said something about the recoil and they all feel the same.  Each one of these guns have recoil and feel way different.  YOu also appear to be a ps3 fan***.  I love Uncharted and I never started the comparison, that was all on you.  Another thing I would like to mention, why get a 360, XBL is better. NOT the games, other than gears, forza, and halo. NOT a halo fan myself but there is no denying it is a good game.  Forza this gen has surpassed GT, and XBL is just better, but that is because it cost money.  Don't reply anymore, your opinion means nothing to me now without owning both. Your opinions will mostly be biased
