Originally posted by grimal Really because I don't see that on the page you link at all. The first blog on the post you link talks about how awesome the game is. Her biggest criticism is Lost Shores was released too buggy. I guess she never played rift after Storm Legion released which has to be the most buggy poorly thought out xpac released yet. |

Originally posted by Rayshe I just find it amusing that the same site awarded and considered it in strongly in such polar opposite categories. Release a game with a very large established fanbase from 10+ years of bnet history when the market was still emerging and the casual base had not yet been established, thus ripe for harvesting a momentious self perpetuating playerbase people never leave because they have X hours invested in their characters, and their friends and everyone else plays anyway. Not discounting Blizzard quality... but WoW's success is as much about perfect timing as it is quality, if not more so. - Derros |

Another well deserved award. And there's more to come, I'm sure. Oh, and no matter if the OP is "trolling" or not... because then at least half if not more of the people who answered here deserve a ban for "retaliation". |

Originally posted by grimal That I have to agree with. Those that love the game considered it the best of the year, and those that expected or wanted something different were disappointed. Oderint, dum metuant. |

Originally posted by Vesavius You brought up EVE and how strange it was ranked lower. Why would that be strange? I think it is out of line for you to call out the poster. A game the GW2 fans like has won another award and we can't even enjoy that without people coming in and shitting on it. The tinfoil hat and hate club remarks are true though. You literally can not make a positive thread about the game without the same people coming in over and over spewing the same bait. It sounded tongue in cheek to me, but of course if a GW2 fan writes it then people take it too seriously and over-react to it. |

I dunno, was there other serious competition besides TSW? But I'll agree with the award, hard really to deny even though not my style MMORPG. Bought my son a copy last month and he is really enjoying it.

You guys put too much into what others say, either you enjoy the game or not. Wow won multiple awards for years and it didn't make the game better or worse for me, so once again who cares. I play GW2 when the desire hits me and usually lose interest in a few days latter. That doesn't mean it isn't a good game, but other games such as STO and SWTor still hold my attention for part of the month also. As for it getting selected game of the year, well there really wasn't much competition in my opinion, but congrats anyways!

Because it obviously is just an example and not the larger point being made. You could replace EvE here with any number of older MMORPGs, it wouldn't matter. It was just an example. Just seems you focused in on that one thing and ignored everything else I was saying. The last thing I want to do is be dragged down by a squabble of whether specific MMORPG X is better then specific MMORPG Y... The point I was making isn't really about that. Lets move on past EvE.
The point is that older games, as ongoing services, should be considered for these yearly awards IMO. |

It's almost always the new MMO on the block that wins, even if it doesn't deserve it. This industry is fixated on the new shinies, even if it proves (more often than not) that they are clueless about what gamers really want and are stumbling around and crapping out games that fail to retain players within the first six months or less. Eventually they will learn their hard needed lessons if for no other reason than their pocket books.

Originally posted by Kyleran I think that is the main problem. The "MMOs", and I use that therm loosely, released the last few years have been quite sub-par. Either buggy indy garbage or triple A ThemePark garbage. Next year looks better, we will have that MMO third person shooter based on a running TV series. ArcheAge will be released in the east (maybe), Darkfall UW and a bunch of other released in the year following that that seem to be neither low quality indy games or ThemeParks. So 2013-14 will probably be much better,  |

Originally posted by grimal Understandable. Gw2 is definately one of the most hyped mmos prior launch, and while huge number of people like the game, there's a big portion of players that didn't like it. That's why I find it logical to be nominated for both GOTY and Dissapointment. |

I don't think anyone can accuse ANet of paying for game awards. Buying awards requires money. Buy to play simply doesn't generate the kind of cash you would need to buy off all the awards. Probably need something like a monthly subscription with millions of players to accomplish something like that. That being said, the competition was pretty fierce in the MMORPG market this year...... right. |

SWTOR won the year before. Anyone can win this trophy. "Don't tell me what to do! , you're not my mod" Saying invented by me. |

Originally posted by killion81 Of course :) I was being sarcastic, because that is a typical response when some mmo receives a reward. |
