SeC GOTY nominations 2010.

Just post a game that you think should be game of the year and the top 5 games will be picked to battle it out in December.

Mine is Bad Company 2 because without it I would have never found this amazing place.

Bad Company 2.

Fallout: New Vegas. Hours of fun, never really pisses you off, only singleplayer, but is great.

BC2's campaign is too piss poor to even think about getting a GoTY vote from me.

Black Ops is good, but there are still things that need to be patched; however, it does bring a lot of good things to the CoD series, and has both a good SP and MP.

However, that being said, by and far FO:NV. A game worthy of GoTY should be good at everything it does, and better than the competition. Other than glitches, that will hopefully be fixed, FO:NV is easily the best game this year. I do not regret buying it one bit.

Bad Company 2

I really enjoyed Mass Effect 2. Really well made, I don't think I've ever played a game as immersive as it.

Mass Effect 2 + New Vegas.

To be fair, criticizing BC2 for having a bad singleplayer would be akin to me saying Fallout NV's multiplayer was bad. Battlefield has always been 100% multiplayer focused, they just tack on some singleplayer crap on the console versions because people would rage if they bought a $60 game and discovered they couldnt play it without Xbox live.

Bad Company 2 is obviously going to win everything.


Except single player, but it's a BF game so who cares.

Well, then I would like to add that I personally thought that BC2's MP was "meh" at best (not being cynical). Until they fix all the bugs, that's all it ever will be, but once they do, the game will be awesome.

Fair enough, i just don't like to see people shun it for bad singleplayer when anybody who pays attention to the series probably didn't even expect it to be as good (bad) as it was.

To be fair I think mass effect 2 and black ops deserve the reward more but I have to vote for bad company 2 for the reasons stated above.

I haven't played Mass Effect 2, but I liked Mass Effect 1 a lot, even if it was pretty short. As for black ops, I don't feel like they've changed the core gameplay enough to deserve GotY. All I'm seeing is the usual CoD installment with some fixed bugs/exploits and a new currency system.

BC2 is still a great game, I just wish that they would fix all the bugs and exploits in it. I would probably go back and play it every now and then if they did. I don't really hate the game, I just wish they would fix it.

The only problem i have with BC2 is the rubber knife. I wish they would've just kept it like BC1 where the knife was an extra weapon and you could swing it fast. A played BC1 the other day and I just ran by and knifed three guys while walking without any rubber knifing. It was great.

Yeah, that's my biggest problem with it too, is the hit detection. Especially when it's something stupid, like I shoot the guy in the head with a shotgun slug from 5 feet away, blood flies everywhere, I get a headshot sound, and then the guy just walks up and knifes me, after I shoot him again and get the same result. I end up saying "Obviously outplayed" and "Fucking bullshit" more than anything.

Lol, BC2 makes ME rage sometimes, and I never rage. I don't even talk on the MIC when i'm in parties >_>. Honestly, there was a match defining moment when i shot this medic with my 40mm shotgun pointblank, saw the hit marker and blood go everywhere, then he kills me, runs up the stairs to the crate, his whole squad spawns on him, and we lose.

Lol, that kinda thing happens in a lot of games too though. I remember one moment that would've made me insta-rage quit nowadays, but I thought it was absolutely hilarious back then:

Was playing Ground War, War on World at War (3 wars...anyways). It was a full 9v9 game, and at the very beginning, somebody threw a random grenade across the map on Upheaval, and killed 7 of 9 of us with a single grenade and instantly got Dogs. I laughed for a good minute straight after that; I searched and searched YouTube, but nobody had recorded it.

For me its either going to be BC2 or FONV.

So does FONV, BC2, and ME2 sound good as the finalists?

I'd have to say that that's probably a good roster. I completely forgot that ME came out this year though; I thought it was last year for some reason.

I know I hate how big games keep coming out in march.

Symbolics GOTY


BC2 by a mile
Fallout NV
Red Dead Redemption
Mass Effect 2
Darksiders
And I really enjoyed Bayonetta

I will not be able to give Black ops a proper vote for a few months. Game makes me rage like none other, but still a blast when my connection works

I completely forgot about RDR; one of my favourite games, I regret trading it in

Ugh man. Either BC2 or ME2. I still haven't played Reach or Vanquish, both of which I think would be strong contenders.

Reach sucks compared to black ops and vanquish was I believe 4 hours long.

I researched that claim, and it's 4 hours of gametime when you don't die. Every life you play where you die doesn't count towards that number, and cutscenes don't count either. That said, it's still probably pretty short (maybe 8-12 hours), but being a game developed by Bayonetta's studio, it's probably a game focused on replaying sections on higher difficulties, for scores, etc. I bet its overall lifespan is closer to 40 or 50 hours.

There's a bunch of bugs in FO:NV...

I actually had an emotional attachment to the charachters in that. The end was horrible, it actually envoked feelings of sadness in me watching marston get gunned down. Thats the definition of a great game imo

Bad Company 2

The awesome sauce that is fallout new vegas far outweighs the glitches imo.

Yes, FO:NV is amazing enough to warrant bugs. Also, with all the content stuffed into that game, I'm suprised the game isn't more buggy. I'm really impressed by FO:NV and the amount of bugs it has, and how well detailed everything is, considering how big of a map there is.

My mission is to find and collect all unique weapons. Big task but I got the guide.

Even though I encountered so much glitch / bug / crashes, I love the game too much. If this happens to some other game, then it would be snapped in half, shredded, and fed to the first animal that I see out in the street (most likely a human being. LoL).

You'll end up finding most unintentionally, but some are well hidden.

Good luck.

Maybe your internet service provider would be a better candidate? >: D

I mean putting some shredded disc in the ISP HQ building would not do much, other than a janitor coming by to sweep it away. LoL

Not unless you put it on a plate with some parsley and kindly asked them to eat it. xD

Symbolic47 wrote:My mission is to find and collect all unique weapons. Big task but I got the guide.

I collected half of them for my Experiment / All-rounded / Ultra VATS character. Probably would go back and collect the rest, after I finish my CQC character, or when I create my more serious VATS character.

Kitsune no Kaji wrote:Not unless you put it on a plate with some parsley and kindly asked them to eat it. xD

All I can imagine them saying is

"Ple~se hold."

Right in front of my face, while they walk away and starts to close the building down for the day.

I can't pretty much see that too, so you'd have to penguin slide over there as fast as you can, and shove the pieces of the disc down their throat. xD

Single player: Mass Effect 2
Multiplayer: BC2
Overall: Mass Effect 2

I'm just gonna say BC2, the game that dominated 300 hours of my life this year deserves the nod from me

I'm glad several of you liked Red Dead Redemption.

Personally it is one of my least favorite games in the last 2 generations. Possibly ever. One of the few games I actually regret buying.

Broke my heart because, Red Dead Revolver was one of my top 5 favorites last gen. Then again, most of revolver was actually done by Capcom.

Whats mass effect 2 like? I liked mass effect 1 a lot, but I was pissed cause I was playing it like fallout, then I found out that I couldn't go back and do all the side stuff after I finished the main quest.

Mass effect 1 but about 4x better in every possible way except side quests. (amazing dlc covers that though)
