The only reason I don't think Halo 4 might win is that the majority of the ps3 only or Wii(u) only owners will be voting for the multiplat games instead like AC3, BLOPS2, etc. Not that I don't want to see Halo 4 win because I do more than anything, but it makes it harder even if Halo 4 is clearly a better game.


True.  I'm really interested in seeing the metacritic for Halo 4 as we all know that critics get harsher throughout the generation.  Either way I don't believe BLOPS2 will be nominated for the GoTY as Call of Duty usually doesnt because it lacks story line.  I do think Halo 4 is a fan fav this year

Yeah sure they added boat combat and tree climbing. And yeah the hero seems really cool but it still looks like the very same game from last year.


It went from a huge city to a lot more out doors stuff.  This is completely different from previous games in the series.  It's a true sequel.  Please tell us all these games that you like and if they had sequels and how they're so much different than the previous game in the series?  Sequels are meant to be similar to the previous titles.  I'm not getting the point you're trying to make, so instead of voicing your opinion against everybody try and make a well made argument instead.

Of course they are similar. But most of the games I like have shown improvement over the years, and don´t get releases every year. The problems I always had with Assassins Creed where the dumb story the really bad combat system (reall really bad combat), and the worst Stealth ever. In Assassins Creed you where like god invincible, Ezio cold easily wipe out a whole city with no problem at all. And the combat system of this game looks exactly the same Attack,Block,Counter and your are Manitu. Eventough people are saying it is redone, well the shown footage looks like every other AC game. Maybe I am wrong I have to play it to be certain. The other thing is the Stealth. I haven´t seen any Stealth footage yet so I can´t argue about that. And the story is very appealing to me because I am totally into the Indian shit since I saw Pocahontas(don´t laugh I am serious it is the original Avatar) and the last Mohican. And the American Revolution is one of the most interesting things in history. But I am sure Assassins Creed wil fuck it somehow up just as they with the 2nd one.

Maybe I am wrong, but that is just what I am expecting from the seen footage and my AC expirience.

While I agree that the combat isn't good I'm not going to knock it for it either as it's not its main appeal.  Personally I think it's just as good as Batman's combat which is basically press one button and kill everybody lol Not a fan of the Batman games.  Anyways, I didn't like assassin's creed 1 but the 2nd one and brotherhood were both well done.  Revelations was a step back.  The thing about Assassin's Creed though is it appeals to a big audience of hardcore players and casual players.  This is one reason that its simple combat and controls work well.

True hopefully people won't be biased towards a game that clearly isn't better than Halo.

Yeah sure but wasn´t the combat system the main point of critique of Revelations?  And Revelations never got nominated for GOTY. And this is what the Thread is about.

I wouldnt say the combat system is the main point at all.  More like the setting and story.  Revelations was a let down as everybody knows so no need in pointing out the obvious.  2 and brotherhood on the other hand were good though. Who knows, it may not get nominated but it has more going for it than going against.  We get it that you don't like the game, just not your style, but for the other 10-15 million people who buy this game does like it.
