It's early, yes, but let's start making predictions for GotY, both overall and for each system. :O
Some common candidates I've heard are MGS4, GTA4, Brawl, Dead Space, etc.
So, which title do you think will prevail?
My bet is Metal Gear Solid 4.
For PS3 game of the year I will say MGS4, Resistance 2, or LBP.
For 360 game of the year I will say Gears 2 or Fable 2.
For Wii game of the year I will say SSBB.
For DS game of the year I am going to say The World Ends with You or Chrono Trigger.
For PSP game of the year I am going with God of War: Chains of Olympus or Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Overall game of the year is too close to call IMO you have games like MGS4, Gears 2, Fable 2, Resistance 2, Fallout 3, LBP, SSBB, GTA4 leading the way and there still are a few other big name titles left to come out. SO I will wait on that one but I think Gears 2 has the best shot as of right now.
MGS4 overall.
GTA4 is terrible compared to saints row 2
PS3: MGS4
360: Gears of War 2 (cuz it seems all they play are FPS's nowadays)
Wii: SSBB (for lack of anything else to play)
PSP: IUNNO, don't have one
DS: Crono Trigger (again, for lack of anything else on the system)
Gears 2, Far cry 2,
MGS4, LBP
Brawl
Fallout 3, Dead space,
All i can say is that brawl will win for wii, and gears of war 2 for xbox 360
The best game I've played all year is Fallout 3, but it's only a tiny bit better than Metal Gear Solid 4.
I nominate both SSBB and GTA IV as "Biggest Letdowns".

agreed on biggest letdowns...
Hopefully Rockstar will go back to what made GTA fun. At least they tried something new once they ran out of ideas on the old style...

I'm not sure realism was the way to go with GTA. Not having planes, tanks, or vehicles like a hovercraft made the game a lot less fun.

even though they were let downs, I still have fun playing them with friends.

I second this motion.
I deleted GTA because I've never played it.

Brawl, a letdown? It was an awesome game. How was it a letdown?
On topic, I have no idea what GoTY is.

It could have been so much better than it really was.
Also, GoTY = Game of the Year

Letdown because: lack of characters people actually wanted (ROB, Wolf, and Toon Link for no reason), Subspace was a waste of time, and the horrible, horrible online...
That's just the general consensus though.... :robotindifferent:

Really, it shouldn't have come out until like this time of the year.
Nearly two and a half years of development time with three delays and it STILL felt rushed.
Erm...
GoW2, MGS4, L4D, Fallout 3, and maybe LBP.
Those are my nominations, but I can't decide which.

As for Wolf and Toon Link. They deserved a spot just as much as any other character. They just needed to have a DECLONED MOVESET SAKURAI! >:(
The rest I agree with.

Toon Link is fine as a clone. Just like Young Link was.
I always wanted Wolf. :P
They should have given a less clone-ish moveset, though.
The online isn't that bad for me. There's not that much lag. Sometimes, but not always.
