I don't get it, how is TSW beating Storm Legion?

Well, it's actually quite simple. You see, there's a systen where an user select between several options by clicking on a circle next to the name of the options he prefers, then once he's done clicks on a big blue "VOTE" button under it. TSW is beating Storm Legion because more people clicked on the circle next to TSW than they did on the one next to Storm Legion.. :)

BTW, personally I like to see TSW as a second place in GotY (I voted for GW2, TSW was my second option) and I'd be just as happy if it got it as well, IMHO both games deserve it.. :)

There should be a none of the above option for players to choose from. Voting for the mmo GOTY was painful.

The problem with that option is that it would surely get the most votes. So much for GOTY ;-)

MMORPG.com!!!!!!!

Can you please edit your poll? Your MOBA list is seriously flawed. You see, there is a Holy trinity in MOBA genre. In one corner there is LoL with its adaptive/new mechanics. Opposite to LoL is the DoTA's corner-a stronghold of conservativism/old ways. On 45 degrees from both in equidistant location to each corner lies, watch this now, HEROES OF NEWERTH-with its customizability and middle road approach. So, MMORPG.com:

WHERE THE FRAK IS HON???

I want an answer from whoever is responsible for this "poll".

Is just Like talking about Italian reneissance literature and mentioning both Dante and, let's random now, Petrarca, but at the same time forgetting Boccacio. I mean, WTF??? If you are doing something, DO IT RIGHT or DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!

Capisci?

No what im saying is that they are 2 completely different styles of game. When FPS's added RPG elements it was consitered Innovative. Thus a Themepark adding Sandbox elements, in the Themepark perspective is Innovative. If sandbox did the same it would get the same treatment. As a Sandbox Wurm is Rightfully respected as one of the originals that made the Genre, as a Themepark TSW is consitered very innovative. if you want to go all hipster elitiest crap and say sandbox did it first go for it but my point still stands.

Sandboxes and Themeparks have about as much in common as their names imply. Thus we shouldn't compare them, They should be given their own catagory. Hell if i could give them their own site i would it would stop this fighting that constantly happens.

Sadly the choices in some of the categories are lacking this year. It felt like choosing between "meh" and "ok". Star Citizen was however clear cut, can't wait to see what they do with the game.

What games would you have liked to see that we didn't have in there?

 

Age Of Wushu for a start, it has some features never seen in any MMO. Archeage has a prison system, so does AOW, Age Of Wushu has an offline features that leave your character in the game after you log off . You can become a merchant or gain cultivation points, you can also be kidnaped by PKs who can then sell you into slavery for money. Age Of Wushu also has farming like Archeage, in fact it has many features like Archeage. If GW2 had these features you wouldn't stop talking about them, instead of three GW2 write up in a day we would be getting five.

I will agree with you there however not for innovation. Please dont take this as the cop out it sounds like. It really should be listed in Anticipated but not any other catagory because its still in development.

TSW may be more innovative but GW2's gameplay is better. So GOTY is for GW2..

That's opinion.  Personally TSW is better in every way for me.

Eve is not a new game - hence it should not be on the list.   Just becaue you don't like GW2 does not mean it shouldn't get this attention. In fact, I feel it is not getting enough attention now!

Feel the same way about TSW, Sadly i feel TSW and GW2 were the 2 top games released this year. However since we are consitered Niche and the raging hatred of Funcom, we never really stood a chance at GOTY. im happy atleast with innovative.

What are you talking about?  The servers are still bustling with action at all times...while its never going to appeal to the mass audence (in order to do that you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator of gamer, which TSW does NOT do...it REQUIRES you to think while you play- for this reason alone, it won't appeal to most gamers)

No Excuses. I am thrilled to be in a game that respects intelligence and caters to the audience that apprecieates innovation, quality design, and the best damn storyline in any MMO ever (personal opinion ofc, but the story and voice acting is FAR superior to even SWTOR and GW2's storyline is laughable pathetic, at least what I played).  [mod edit]

^^ This x 1000

It saddens me that Age of Wushu is not on the list for Most Anticipated / Rising Star.  I wonder why this game seemily gets no love. I guess I have abnormal taste when it comes to mmo games. I really enjoyed closed beta (1) as well as really looking forward to the next beta in a few days.  Actually I am pining for it to go live, feb ( I think it is still then) cannot come soon enough.

Woooow GW2 has become like wow..everybody hates now  just because its popular.

GOTY here

how could TSW be considered GOTY when Funcom themselves think that the game failed to connect with and RETAIN the size of audience they expected. And Please, dont start all the excuses about timing and advertising and planetary misalignment as reasons for it lackluster reception.
