What's your GOTY?
- Thread starter rcorporon
- Start date
I was in the States but ended up playing the Ukrainian version because most translations of STALKER are atrocious.

Red Dead Redemption was a very nice game. Everything fits in there, the music(!), the voice over, the visuals, the gameplay is fun, the multiplayer is the first multiplayer in any game that I enjoy etc.
Mass Effect 2 was okish, but I liked the first one more. Although it still kept me busy a few weeks.
And FO:NV, although I am a bit surprised that I'm not very eager to make a second playthrough.

Come to think of it, I have not played a single 2010 game yet, except for Alien Swarm, which was a freebie.
The newest game I played and am still playing is Arkham Asylum or Left 4 Dead 2 (whichever came out last).

SP - Metro 2033. The atmosphere of this game is awesome.
Multi - BFBC2. The first game that really suckered me in for the multi play, free of mindless twitch fraggin'
FNV is great, but the tech it's based on is obsolete. Mountains appear out of the blue, lo-res geometry and texes... eh. Loved the factions' diversity and interesting locations. A shame tech limitations from 2006 got in the way.
CODBOPS is an entertaining, magnificiently scripted action experience.
Civ V is great, but a bit hampered by its lack of content compared to a blinged-out Civ 4.
Aaannnd Minecraft. Someone tell me how to get them damn diamond ore.

Ahoy, ye salty dogs!
Red Dead and Black Ops. I didn't play F:NV or ME2, so don't stone me; besides, Black Ops is WAY better than Modern Warfare 2, BFBC2 and Medal of Honor.
Also, fuck Halo, just because.

Seriously, no one else thought Alan Wake was awesome? Sons, i am disappoint.

For me Minecraft has easily been most enjoyable gaming experience this year.

Overall, New Vegas. Got that awesome old-but-new feeling that a sequel should have IMO. Damn good game.
Honorary mentions:
Mass Effect 2, for great gameplay, awesome sound design, and wonderful animations/gr4ph1x. Relatively weak story and design decisions I disapprove of makes it only number 2 however.
STALKER: COP, for putting the best of both previous games and eliminating the vast majority of bugs. Very much worth a purchase.
Company of heroes: Eastern Front for being an awesome mod to an awesome game.
And Alpha Protocol, while being a lackluster game overall, for offering a great RPG experience.

I want to play it so bad! I loved the first two Max Payne's and the story reminds me of Twin Peaks but alot darker with Stephen King mixed in there for good measure. Needless to say it's going to be the first game I buy when I get an Xbox 360.

Tie between New Vegas and Stalker CoP. I would give both 10 even with their faults.
Honorable mention goes to Amnesia, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2.

Probably a toss up between NV and Black Ops but mostly because no other titles really "wowed" me this year. Minecraft might be on there but that was more an obsession that only last 2 or 3 weeks and isn't really finished yet.

Hmmm I heard Amnesia was the game to check out. Really curious about it.
-Fallout New Vegas : best Fallout spin-off so far.
-Super Meat Boy : really addictive, fun, cruel, and retro.
-Amnesia : tops Penumbra as far as I'm concerned. Would love if these guys could try to develop a Call of Cthulhu game in the vein of Dark Corners of the Earth.
-Limbo : so haunting and beautiful

Addmitingly only because I'm such a sucker for spy fiction.
There have been a lot of great games released this year. In fact I only really didn't like one.
Heavy Rain
Cage! If you can't get over your dumbass obsession with showers, your ignorance towards human interaction and your inability to structure a plot complex but logically then:
A: Don't ever try to be "deep" again. Don't ever.
B: Hire capable writers
No, you aren't the Christopher Nolan of games. Sorry.
Get that in your head!

Far and away the winner IMO: Minecraft.
Runners up were Pokemon Soul Silver, NetHack and Triangle Wizard.
Minecraft is just so INCREDIBLY addictive. Searching for ore veins, building stuff, exploring/spelunking, killing things, setting objects on fire, playing with dynamite...
EDIT: NetHack is always in my GOTY contender list. ALWAYS. Every year.
