This place is a nintendo fantard heavan. Personally i think the little white brick is more of a gadget than a games console.

Heh, the only 3 games released this year that I've played. But looking at other peoples choices it seems I haven't missed much. Not a great year for gaming, huh? Gotta check out that Batman game though, I had no idea it was any good.

The problem with that is how many ways there are to write many games' names. Of course it would be possible to just specify a canonical name for each candidate and everyone who doesn't use it is out of luck.

That's what I'm thinking. The OP would simply contain a catalog of the year's games to choose from. Of course, that'd be a real pain for one person to compile for all regions.

I'm not sure why that is, either. I think GAF has a really sizable fanbase for pretty much anything, but the Sony base seems particularly large, and much larger than the Nintendo one, but whenever it comes to a vote, the Nintendo games get a lot of support.

Pretty much.

Uncharted 2 could win a Game of the last 5 years voting thread.

With Galaxy around? I'd hope not.

I'd say Sony/Nintendo are about equal in fanbase on GAF now with Microsoft being in third position. Maybe we should do another thread to investigate this?

Yes please! I'd think that'd be real interesting.

Also a short observation - I'm seeing way more "exclusive" lists (only PS3 games, or only Nintendo games etc.) than I expected.

I thought three years into this generation many of us were past this point of single console ownership. Apparently multi-console ownership is not as widely spread as I thought on GAF. :/

Spoiler

or a lot of people are fanboys using this GOTY vote to push their agenda. But I'm an optimistic guy and like to think that's not the case.

My question is how do you ask the questions? Is it ownership, favorite console, favorite publisher?

I definitely like last year's voting system better. Wasn't Anihawk in charge of this shit? What happened?

 

[DeadGzuz]

Also a short observation - I'm seeing way more "exclusive" lists (only PS3 games, or only Nintendo games etc.) than I expected.

The PS3 had a great year for exclusives, the 360 not so much. I would suspect a lot of 360 only owners are using surrogates like AC2, DA, AA, etc. A few braves souls will put ODST and Halo Wars as top games.

I have no idea what was going on in the Wii scene, mine is in the box for the kids on X-mas.

Why in the fuck do you consider games like AA, DA, Borderlands, SFIV,etc. to be surrogates? Just because a game is an exclusive does automatically grant it some sort of superiority over multiplatformers

I'm really surprised to see inFAMOUS so much. Thought it was a good game, but not GOTY material. To each his own, I guess.

I'm not sure why people always assume that. Three years ago at least the results of a self-identification poll looked like this:

Hm, I wonder if anything might have happened that could have affected Nintendo gamers over the last 3 years. Hmm.......

Just because there are people who have only voted for PlayStation games or Nintendo games, doesn't necessarily mean they only own one system or are "fanboys." It could simply mean, oh I don't know, they genuinely just thought those games were the best?

Plus, with this year's method, after you've voted for you personal GOTY and allocated 3 points you have less choices than previous years, so maybe some people's lists contain more exclusives because they've had to miss a few titles off.

No matter the voting system, Uncharted 2 would've won anyway. And it deserves to win GOTY. Just like how the previous GAF game deserved their GOTY wins.

Nintendo and Sony games always seem to win, though. But you can take that as you will...

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I'm surprised, with 19 more days before you have to vote, so many people have played everything they want from 2009. Especially with Xmas coming up I'd assume a lot of people would get games then that would probably make their list. Maybe it's just me that still gets a game or two as gifts when he goes back home for the holidays. I see no need to rush.

 

[radjago]

Is there a complete list of 2009 releases available anywhere?

 

[Neuromancer]

This place is a nintendo fantard heavan. Personally i think the little white brick is more of a gadget than a games console.

Sure, there are those people. But with the extremely diverse lineup this year has seen with amazing games on all platforms, I guess I just didn't expect there to be so many of them. That's why I was saying I'm surprised at the number of people whose lists only feature one company/platform.

Your second paragraph is a very good point, though. [And another valid point of criticism towards this year's voting system.]
