Insideman Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Have any legitimate news sources given it any awards? No. I wouldn't take this seriously guy's. No way this game deserves Game Of the Year. Go away you troll! BACK TO YOUR BRIDGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berethos Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Maybe FauxNews should review the game next. Then we can have two EXTREMELY CREDIBLE news sources rate the game. Somehow the story becomes about how the game is teaching kids to Force Choke others or something, while a looping video of CoD plays in the background. That would be totally worth it for the backlash and laughs to follow, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayaleith Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Man they reviewers didn't take their sweet time to level to 50. They just space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space and still... they know that is the GOTY! So, next time I see a fanboi saying that you are not supposed to be 50 yet, I wil remind them of these guys that not only did they reach 50, they tested instances, raids etc in no time! Man...

SodaOfYoda Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Skyrim used to be a candidate for Game of the year, then it took a SW:TOR in the knee. Hah I wonder how many reviews explored five levels past the starting planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) There is no chance in hell TOR will get game of the year from any reputable source. There have been too many truly amazing games this year, Skyrim, Uncharted, Arkham city, Skyward Sword, Portal 2... I mean seriously...msnbc. Might as well be cooking.com giving the goty award. LOL You do get that getting GOTY from a mainstream news source like MSNBC is basically like handing EA the keys to Fort Knox don't you? Good reviews from some hardcore gamers blog doesn't translate into a Bajillion box sales, getting GOTY from MSNBC does. Also G4 and PC gamer have already given it astronomically high scores So I'm pretty sure we can expect both of them to hand Bioware MMO of the year the next time it comes around.

And good reviews from news companies don't translate into a good game. So are you saying 'Congratulations Bioware on milking a Cash Cow' or 'Congratulations Bioware on making a thoroughly amazing game'? Bear in mind PC Gamer gave DA2 a 94.

HelluvaJedi Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't mean to belittle the game, but I think this was clearly paid for. I watch MSNBC and they have plugged the game during stock market segments and shown videos. The people plugging it weren't even gamers, just news anchors that knew nothing about it aside from what they were prompted to say. Most serious gamers would not give GOTY to this game over Skyrim, Arkham City, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepmemories Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Funny, game of the year 5th day into the new year and they named games that are not even out yet, No mention of GW2 either must of been a pure genious gamer who wrote that article or just well payed. You just been a victim of corporate propaganda, and it doesn'nt stop at or in the game world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateKrucible Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 when was MSNBS credible period . 'Period' actually means 'full stop' or '.' to the symbolically minded.

Beranzen Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 SWTOR also won game of the year awards from Ten Ton Hammer http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/211513/page/7 and GameSpy http://pc.gamespy.com/articles/121/1215449p5.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkiii Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 No matter how much I enjoy played TOR and all of its story aside, Skyrim completely owns this game in almost every regard. I tried to get a group together to kill a boss in Skyrim, but I took an arrow to the knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gileam Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yup that might mean something but lets take a look at the companies Microsoft - These wonderful people released an operating system with projected driver support. It was called Vista and who can forget Windows ME (Many Errors) NBC - They do not like people downloading Torrents of TV shows what were on Public Television. Course that is another funny story but can not go into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHauntingBard Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You heard it here first . Forget about Diablo 3 and Guild wars to name a few. SWTOR is the game of the year! The source sounds extremely reliable and objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddecay Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 completely disagree. Arkham city was probably the best game i played all year hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convictionx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Worst game of the year would be more accurate oh well EA have the money to buy what ever they like. The best games were SKYRIM DARK SOULS UNCHARTED 3 ARKHAM CITY BATTLE FIELD 3 BULLET STORM DEADSPACE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
