I say we count gamefaqs since we DID count vgchartz :p and lets throw in neo-gaf just for the lulz :p

 

Actually we counted VGChartz but only the winner that was decided by the staff.  The forum vote actually ended up with MGS4 as the winner.  So I don't think a forum GotY has been included yet.

Still though, if we take the forums itd be like a .. OFFICAL Goty getting as much as possible ( I know its alot of work :p ) but still it be awesome to summarize based on every damn site we can find including forums THAT ARE APPROPRIATE. If theres a forum that has like 10 registerd ofc we wont XD but i hope you get my point.

This is Machina's thread so he gets to make the decision, but I don't feel we should be counting forum awards. You'd be surprised at how many nobody forums are out there with GOTY threads and if we count one, we need to count them all and it could get messy. I'm personally fine with reader's choice as long as it's labelled as such and it's presented as a poll officially hosted by the website.

Come on, we're not the government so I don't think we need to worry too much about foot-in-door problems in a simple thread.

LBP snagged a lot of GOTY awards. Go LBP!

so LBP was huge

I never thought it or fallout 3 would take awards away from MGS4

no, sites that only cater to one console do not count. They must cover all of the consoles.

What about PC? If the site doesn't include PC then it shouldn't matter because it's not a true GOTY if it doesn't mention PC.

I think all of the sites used so far do include PC, I don't think any sites specifically cut it out

Well I just addressed a problem and you just swept it under the rug. Sounds like the government to me.

GOA and Kombo don't count PC games.

@shio

there weren't many PC games that even deserved a GOTY (especially after SPore flopped)

however this year with Sims 3 we have a different story
