Support NeoGAF

[BlackJace]

Super Street Fighter IV
Galaxy 2

 

[Raptor]

Bayonetta

But if we talk in terms of pure personal preference no matter what other thinks etc, is Lords of Shadow for me.

 

[MajorPain]

For me it would have to go to the game that had the biggest impact this generation.

I would have to say that would be COD: Modern Warfare

This may not be the best game but it has definitely had one of the biggest impacts on this generation.

 

[Hindle]

I can guarantee it'll go to some game that really doesn't deserve it like Dark Souls.

Or worse we'll bring back one of the games that won goty like MGS 4.

I'm surprised you don't like Dark Souls. Seeing as its all about the gameplay and very deep the gameplay is at that.

Best stay with scripted games dude

 

[Anth0ny]

Yup, Dark Souls.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is runner up.

 

[Spider from Mars]

The one and only GOAT

 

[spekkeh]

Would be scared that it wouldn't be Mario Galaxy, in which case NeoGAF has nothing left to do apart from abolishing itself.

 

[noffles]

What does deserve it?

Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted 2
Portal 2
Bioshock
Galaxy 2

One of these.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Lets do it. Just like GOTY but the whole gen.

MGS4 for me.

Whats with all the Dark Souls? It didnt even win gaf GOTY?

BTW Zelda TP is what gen?

 

[Burnburn]

Does no one read the OP?

Yes a GotG could be fun, but when does a generation end? I mean after the 720 and PS4 get released there will still be games released for the PS360WII.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I wonder how it would be done? Like the goty voting?

Mirror's Edge or Dark Souls for me.

 

[Nert]

An official vote (with a comment requirement) once the 360 and PS3 are no longer "current gen" would be very interesting indeed. The split between Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and the split between Demon's Souls and Dark Souls will probably prevent all four of those games from winning the top spot, but I can't say that with complete certainty.

 

[Seda]

My top five, in some order, is The Last Remnant, Valkyria Chronicles, Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together, Alpha Protocol, and Tales of Vesperia.

Edit: Make it top six and throw Xenoblade in there somewhere.

 

[NullPointer]

Currently my Game of Forever, so there's my vote. A character I wanted to learn more about, a gorgeous world worth exploring and getting lost in, and a story that kept me coming back.

Runners up: Skyrim, Burnout Paradise/Forza Horizon.

 

[olimpia84]

Xenoblade Chronicles

 

[Jarmel]

This would have to be done next year anyway.

 

[arglebargle]

My heart is with Metal Gear Solid 4, but there is definitely a list of games which, it should be argued, could win the award. I know it's easy to let our emotions run awild and pick our personal favorite game, but we need to try to be objective as much as we can. Here's my list:

-Metal Gear Solid 4
-Bioshock
-Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (it has to be on the list, guys. Just for influence and impact alone)
-Mass Effect 2
-Super Mario Galaxy/Super Mario Galaxy 2 (one of these should be on the list; I'm having a hard time choosing one over the other)

I can't think of anything else at the moment.

we absolutely do not have to be objective. in fact, i am not even sure what that means in this context.

 

[AuthenticM]

Too early for this thread. Wait until the end of this year or next year.

There are so many potentially amazing games this year that could take the crown.

This is not the official thread. I'm asking if there is going to be one. Have you read my OP ?

 

[Discotheque]

possibly Witcher 2 for me

the game that defined a generation had to be COD4 tho

 

[StuBurns]

Just to check, I take it we didn't do this at the end of the last generation? Because that could be a fun thread we could certainly do now.

 

[BomberMouse]

Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2 or LBP.

 

[Manmademan]

.

It's hilarious that I was just about to post this.

My vote goes to super rub a dub

 

[eXistor]

It's Dark Souls.

I do believe we have a winner.

 

[Dunan]

Assassin's Creed 2; nothing that Ubi has done to the series since then can take away from its excellence.

Close behind are Valkyria Chronicles and Nier.

 

[Celegus]

I can't decide if I like Demon's or Dark Souls better, but I'll gladly back whichever has a better chance of winning. Most likely Dark Souls.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Super Mario Galaxy 2

 

[Subtle]

Draw Something was also pretty fun. It deserves a mention.

I mean COME ON it just doesn't get any better!

 

[guek]

Man I do not understand the Dark Souls love. Good game, yes, but...man I just don't get it. *shrugs*

 

[Betrayer of hope]

The hype for this game was massive.

And unlike alot of other hyped games this delivered.

 

[Staal]

Has this generation already ended? Bioshock Infinite, Last of Us may lay claim to the title.

 

[Dunan]

.

That little duck icon in the middle is a lowercase a!? MINDBLOWN.

 

[Robot Pants]

It's Dark Souls.

Almost had that first post.
Actual first post was awful.

 

[spekkeh]

Man I do not understand the Dark Souls love. Good game, yes, but...man I just don't get it. *shrugs*

It's so hardcore.

 

[joe2187]

The most fun I've had all generation:

The only answer

 

[Data West]

What does deserve it?

That's not how this works. I shit on your game, but I don't give a different one because then someone will shit on me, and that's my thing!

 

[Professor Renegade]

Portal.

 

[Tomat]

This is not the official thread. I'm asking if there is going to be one. Have you read my OP ?

You made an OP? Did Dark Souls win yet?

 

[StuBurns]

Has this generation already ended? Bioshock Infinite, Last of Us may lay claim to the title.

OP, when are you suggesting the thread happen?

EDIT: And Bayonetta has far too much filler garbage in it, maybe Bayo 2, but I forbid Bayo 1 from winning.

 

[hunnies28]

Red Dead Redemption
Mario Galaxy
Wii Sports

Haven't played Dark Souls.

 

[GlamFM]

COD 4

 

[Andrew.]

That's not how this works. I shit on your game, but I don't give a different one because then someone will shit on me, and that's my thing!

Well done sir. Let us be pals.

 

[Subtle]

Depending on who you ask.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Metal Gear Solid 4

War, has changed.

Never has any game, ever, been created with such utter fan service in mind.
Even though ironically, many of those fans hated the game for it.

Dark Souls was good, but Demons was the better of the two. It's a shame that some people only got to play Dark. Both the games had issues, and neither would get my vote.

Honorable mentions go to:

Uncharted 2
Hitman Absolution

Spoiler

Yes, really.

Burnout Paradise
Red Dead Redemption


Biggest failure of the gen:

Final Fantasy, assuming Lightning Returns doesn't buck the trend.

 

[noffles]

They had a forced stealth section in a stealth game.

Just for managing that paradox, no.

 

[AOC83]

We need to wait until The Last of Us and GTA V are out.

 

[MormaPope]

EDIT: I took this as the best game ever, misinterpreted what the thread actually was.

 

[revolverjgw]

Super Mario Galaxy 2, easy peasy lemon squeezy

 

[ohlawd]

.

GotG for me is Super Galaxy 2.

Super Rub a Dub is my runner up. Fantastic game.

OP= Original Post. Not "OT".
