Well, it not like the staff discuss their picks, I got a chance to give my official vote and I saw how it works , it's just a simple voting, so ..


WE most certainly do!  Lengthy discussions happened on the AIM group, even so far as to discuss what qualified and what didn't (had to redo some votes due to extenuating circumstances.)  

I own Skyrim on PS3, and I wrote those awards.  I've not noticed any issues on the PS3 yet, just some occasional framerate stutters.  (then again I haven't been playing 70 hours yet to get that dreaded 6-7 meg save file). 

It's always frustrating as hell to see people not just disagreeing with me but claiming me to be on crack, especially when there are no issues with the awards.  So infuriating, you know? 

Should you not play the whole game before awarding it goty status?

Sure if you just consider the main quest it is pretty good, but after the 40-50 hour mark the quality starts to wear very thin due to repetition of about everything. I would not consider a game goty if I don't feel like playing it again, even without the bugs. What kept me going through Skyrim was first discovering the world, then levelling up, then hoping to find 1 more unique dungeon or quest which never happened.

Giving awards to games that have just come out is never a good idea. Either hype or initial disappointment will always taint the results. The only reason the goty awards are in december is to get more people to buy the popular games. To have any credibility they should be held at E3 for example for games of the previous year.

It would give the awards more meaning than what we have now. The ECA should put something together for E3. The VGA's suck.
