VoXPCS Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yet another accolade that can be bought, just like BBB rating whether you're absolutely terrible or not?

SnoggyMack Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Would you expect any less? With Arkham City, NBA 2K12 and Skyrim all out there, I'm surprised it won. But happy that it did. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masaville Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 MSNBC names TOR game of the year congratulations Bioware! LOL...msnbc clearly doesn't know much about gaming. If anything, Skyrim is far more interesting and captivating to play. SWTOR is good, but far from great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannic Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) This part of their rationalization for naming it GoTY made me laugh so hard: •Introduced dynamic PvP combat. Umm... yeah. Bioware hasn't "introduced" a single thing when it comes to PvP. I can't think of a single thing that Bioware does in terms of PvP that isn't done better in at least three or four other games. This part made me roll my eyes: •Stunned them with technical innovation Technical innovation? Really?? In what respect? Voice over? Evidently the folks at MSNBC think Bioware invented the MMO. They might as well have said, "these are the reason we're giving TOR GoTY; 1. We really like story. 2. The story is really good. 3. For the first time ever, we get a good story in an MMO. 4. Also, the story is great! 5. And this is the first game we've ever PvP'd in so we think TOR PvP is somehow unique."

Tikaru Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 So, this game, which has officially been out for less than a month, won game of the year? Over Skyrim, Arkham City, MW3, BF3, Portal 2, and Uncharted 3? I call bullsh*t. How much did MSNBC get paid to say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joessit Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 This made me die a little. There's no way. I'm sorry, but there's absolutely no way. Against fantastic, polished games like Portal 2, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, etc? NO. The game just came out and is missing tons of features. Maybe next year, but lol at GOTY.

The only time I'm on the forums is when I can't play. The whiners and trolls are here 24/7 backing each other up until they are convinced no one likes this game. If you don't like this game, fine. Just stop hanging around the forums. Leave it to those who want to dicuss the game in a mature fashion. /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
