i dont count that free crap with 2d graphics that only non mmorpg players play as real mmorpgs

You're being silly, and I'd like for you to stop it.

What the...? An MMO poll?

So, are we getting both WoW and WoW:WotLK in the game of the year poll?

so how do we feel about Brawl and a bunch of nobodies beating out the stacked as hell multiplatform poll in votals? heck, even MGS4 and LBP alone almost topped the multiplatform poll.

woo comin' in third

Brawl will win (puke), but Fallout 3 has a real chance at getting second place above MGS4. I don't think it *will*, but it's got a chance.

You're being silly, and I'd like for you to stop it.

Real MMO Sites don't even cover crap like runescape, maple story and that Flyff game because they aren't real mmorpgs. They're crap for non mmorpg players that can be described as mmorpg lite if anything.

charmander6000 | Posted 1/10/2009 7:42:34 AM | message detail
So anyone think Bacon will put both WoW on the poll? This seems like a waste since he included WotLK on the PC poll and everyone knows WoW would win the MMORPG poll.

Looking at last year's poll

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2991

WoW is about .6% lower than last year. Though last year had Flyff while this year has Warhammer.

_Hogger_ | Posted 1/10/2009 12:13:11 PM | message detail
Warhammer is better then Fly so its about the same.

And even though Bacon fails, I doubt he'd put a game from 2004 in best game of 2008 poll

Talking about 2004 and GotY's:

=)


More seriously...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2252
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2253

...there should only be WoW:WotLK based on this. Though that was CJay, but I still doubt SB would mess that kind of thing up. He included WoW:tBC last year because it was new, not because WoW won the MMORPG-poll...same thing this year.

So, since today's a dead day, what all are expected to be major players for GotY in 2009? Per system or overall, either is fine.

I didn't think FF13 was supposed to come out until 2010...if you're right, then yeah, that probably take it. Is RE5 multi-platform too? If so, that'll be our GotY-poll right there...

...what's the word on Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3? Are they due this year? Any big 360-exclusives? I understand Nintendo's not announced anything big yet either...just weird to think FF13 could take it THAT easily.

it'll make it here for Christmas. everything always does.

Wii GOTY is a lot more wide open than anything I can ever remember. the only confirmed game that I can see appealing to GF is Madworld, and that's like No More Heroes level. I'm sure Nintendo will announce something that'll be coming out for the holidays but right now it's a wasteland.

SC2 before D3 is what I hear, but I'd say 2010 is more likely for SC2 anyway. this is Blizzard, after all.

the only other AAA game that seems possible for 2009 is God of War 3, but given what we've seen of 1 and 2 I'm not sure if it can really be in that RE5 class.

but I'll say this - given that GOW3 is *the* PS3 title, much like MGS4 was for a while, I'd say it's very likely that it ends up much stronger than 1 or 2.

Halo 3: ODST

Why? Braid's not doing too badly for being a downloadable game. Besides that, you can't really complain about who wins since they all suck (in different ways, of course).

HaRRicH | Posted 1/10/2009 9:11:36 PM | message detail
I actually enjoy this poll. It's good to give some new games respect, and now we can make better skewed predictions of what happens in the last of the GotY-polls. It needed L4D and maybe Wii Fit though.

LBP is doing everything it can to make MGS4 look great though! Also, with Braid and World of Goo doing pretty poorly in a poll LBP is dominating, look for MM9 to bomb in a poll where the game that easily doubled LBP will be a distant second place.


Last...what would the poll have been like last year? It would have been a great chance to see Assassin's Creed in action, at least (probably the biggest snub from last year's GotY-polls).
