For me, some time ago was 2003. Unfortunately, I was not introduced to her until 2005. Nevertheless, she somehow still remains the brightest light this once potentially limitless genre has ever known.

Amazing to realize that her next decade is so close on the horizon.

After more than 3 months of playing GW2 i finally got to finish the historyline with my main tonight....

It was the MOST EPIC battle i´ve ever experienced in a game!!!

It was worth the wait !!!  Love the game !

For me GW2 is GOTY.

What I liked about that list is:

GW2 > MOP

Torchlight 2 > Diablo 3

Demonstrates actual proper gamer tastes rather than the mindless fanatacism of blizzdrones plugging lazy games made for kids.

Top voted MMO is not really a surprise, while X-fire numbers are pretty suspicious at best games like TOR had fallen to almost nothing after 3 months while GW2 been at about half Wows numbers the last 2 months... That doesnt really prove much about GW2s actual numbers except that it does somewhere between okay and good but it is a good sign.

Also, all stores in my card have sold out their gemcards and my buddy who works in EB games say it is one of the topselling games.

However that it is the top game altogether is unexpected to me... I guess it have been a pretty bad year with lots of sequels because MMOs rarely win this price.

It is also surprising that Diablo 3 did so bad, there have been many complains but with the incredible large salesnumbers it had I would assume more people should have voted for it. Maybe it is because the initial technical problems it had.

Anyways, gratz to GW2 and the other games on the list.

Except GW2 keeps losing players and is now down behind Diablo 3 player numbers on Xfire. In time played it barely beats it, but evyone can see it will drop behind D3 that western tool within days ...

not even the 2 last patches helped it out.

i consider the value of the link non valid too.

Remember when SWTOR was GOTY, having been released just right before the end of the year was done?

Yeah... good times eh?

...incase you can't get the sarcasm, it means nothing.  Just a matter of who paid whom more to grab a title in most cases sadly.

Ooooh look! Still the top selling MMORPG on Amazon 3 months after its release... and beating games likes "Assassin's Creed III" which got released more recently. And mind you, that's only the boxed copies.

But yeah, GW2 is doomed and keeps losing players... we trust your word, mate, and XFire is definitely 100% reliable.

I'm gonna quote a post from a fellow citizen of this website's forums:

We never tire of this cycle.

So I'm gonna give you a "me too", if it can makes you feel happier. Yes, GW2 is doomed, and losing players. XFire can't be wrong!

I havent agreed with a goty award since 2001. Journey gets my vote this year. Grats to anet though. That will definitely increase sales.

Last one I agreed with was "Homeworld".  That takes us out of the genre entirely, and back to '99.

If GW2 is the best MMORPG game of 2012, the game industry is in worst shape than I thought.

Who would'a thunk that Bad Spock would get all philosophical on us! Nice touch - really.

TIME listed 10 games they picked for 2012 - if you bothered to read it

I am still waiting for the Wall Street Journal's list, because if anyone knows gaming its the WSJ. Seriously though, it doesn't surprise me, Although leaving Borderlands 2 off that list really exposes the flaws.

i have no idea if WSJ reports on games - but I know Forbes does http://www.forbes.com/games/

i havent played Borderlands2 but i agree w you that I had expected to see it on the top 10

I dont think TIMEs list is invalid and i commented that TIme has been doing Top 10 videogame lists for 5+ years

I agree that sites like IGN have more merit

Reminder, lest there's any doubt about the glory of meaninglessness that is GoTY awards...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_the_Year

Do we need to cover the Grammys, too?

I am afraid this will only motivate the producers to create more games like this.

Soon MMOs will move to consoles from PCs...
