Wow, what a substandard year...Well, I cast my vote anyway - apparently in line with the majority on every poll *shudder*

All games on the list are horrible thus I don't know what to vote. I don't even know any of the games on the "rising star" list

EVE Online game of the year hands down.

I love how most of the GOTY nominees were not even released this year? EVE Online? WoW? What the hell?

Of the ones I have played, I would have to give it to RIFT. It had a lot going for it except the fact it was too easy and happened too fast. If it wasn't made for the casual gamer exclusively, it would have been an even better game. Longer grind to level cap, and more difficult content would have been great.

But overall, their class design and dungeon design were top notch, making the game very dynamic and fun. There are definitely some flaws, but gameplay is what I enjoy most.

how WOW even fits into ANY of those catagorys i will NEVER know i mean it cant be inovative as its done NOTHING NEW!

although EVE online got of to an AWFULL start this year since cruicible its picked up and is on its way back to awesomeness so that will have to tkae GOTY for me

SW:TOR this was the biggest dissapointment since STO , promised alot but after looking at it, its pretty much the same as all the other hack and slash games and the old new thing is voice acting for quest givers, hardely something to be noteworthy.

innovative means something with new methods; advanced and original   --- I can't say that some of the games listed are that... when one is almost a copy of another one in the list.

i can see why Swtor isn't on the goty and why you can vote for it in other areas.  i think if youre gonna be up for a goty you need to be out for more then half the year, but since the game is playing in the last few days of 2011 that makes it so you can vote for it in other areas.

Eve online deserves the title of Best Game of 2011. Despite the fact there were some hatreds with the community, the Carbon engine is something magnificent. And Crucible is the best expansion I've ever seen.

Would be nice to see a 'none of the above' option added to these polls

Vote for The Secret World and Bloodline Champions! :-)

I can't express how much I'm looking forward to TSW ( The Secret World ). It seems so deep and well thought out. I've seen what Funcom are capable of both ways. The most fantastic games of all tim ( The Longest Journey and Dreamfall ) and of course the upset: Age of Conan. 

Now they have Ragnar Tornquist back in the lead, and I just can't see it going bad. The dreamworld engine is really showing what it is capable of. Follow betacake.net and you might get a few glimps of how TSW is now. There should be a clip available there before the day is over. I saw it last night, and my jaw litteraly dropped to the ground.

I cross my fingers for a succesful launch in April!

Thanks for reminding me of these great games, may have to dust off the disks sometime soon.

BLC!

Bloodline Champions FOREVER! Best 2011 MOBA and most Innovative!

is just wrote . . gameplay is every thing on game, history, role . .real ROLE not just press keys and what item or class is better ?? / where can i get cheats for this game ?? /







If you are not Acting your character, then is no ROLE GAME, If you cant change the events of the lineal standard gameplay, then, there is no ROLE GAME PLAY, if the players have no interaction between them affecting the economy or the resources or the politics or the mechanics of gameplay Then There is Not a ROLE GAME.







Tired of Role Games without It.







1, 2 , 4 or more players hitting each other without realism against insane creatures and enlarged hyper mega beasts, just pressing the sames keys to do a couple of Statics and really bad finished Spells or Skills Or Hits over years to do insane ammount of damages to creeps or other players, with lvl restrictions, lvl 12 never can beat a lvl 18. End of the Role Game Possibilities.







All the games in the Votation are not enough to be compared with " EVE ONLINE ", where no matter if you ACTS your character in relation with other players, but a fleet Commander is a Commander, and Spy is real Spy, any player in game is functional as person and depends on his intelect to survive a Real Universe.



Here is no " Me " coming from work to tell what happend in my day and talk about it, i have to back to my real work in a fiction game, is " Me " coming to fight, spy, protect, mine, transport, scort, produce goods, Electronic Parts, Mechanic Parts, Ingeneering Parts, items, ammo, weapons, ships, to use by me or my friends, armys, corps, alliances, enemys, other players, in a Vast Universe in war for the control of all this named events in game, if i dont Play my ROLE in Game, i become obsolete, and there is no leveling thing, in eve you must study anything related with what you want to do or use. that realease a player to advance in game and give more time to the other aspect, "  Interaction "



CCP deserves be the only company on the planet who really should be listed as the creator of a truly massive multiplayer role game online.







All the rest is just a masive multiplayer game online.

PD: and CCP is the first Company in cross plataforms with  " DUST514 " the first real ROLE game FPS, where you go to be needed to protect or destroy in planets the resources of any player, corporation or alliance that hire you and if you have a little time for you, you can live the game instead to just press a keyboard.

Cause players are there for years before you, and they build the Empire that Eve Online is on this Days.

Eve online is leading the polls for game of the year on mmorpg.com. No surprise there;)

The Secret World PWNs for the the most promising upcoming game of 2012.

Not sure why ArcheAge is in the list. The game doesnt even release in North America....

maybe it will maybe it wont, we simple dont know.

Do i think it stand to be something great? yeah fore sure but it does not deserve to win/be nominated  any award based on that premise.

Because this is a international site and the world actually (*gasp*) is larger than the USA?

There is nothing that stops games thet only releases in other parts of the world to get a award.

 

Funny the guy is from Canada...so stop bashing the USA...

Anyway:

Best Hybrid: LoL-Only one I enjoyed.

Rising Star: I chose Wildstar, though I knew it wouldn't be winning. Just looks coolest too me.

Most Innovative: Rift-Honestly I don't know, but I found the Rift and class design a lot more different than anything in Swtor.

Most Anticipated: Planetside 2-Something very different to play instead of another fantasy game like GW2.

Game of the Year: WoW-All the choices sucked, but WoW is the only one I enjoyed.

Have to say The Secret World is easily the most promising for me. Sure GW2 looks good but I'm not sure I can stomach levelling in yet another fantasy setting. I mean, the setting is bad. And then there is the levelling.

The "culprit?" The culprit is IE 9. ;)

EVE is forever.
