KotOR II for GOTY?

[Jad'en]

Too many popular games out this year and a star wars game is very selective on its target audience... it will no doubt win the best CRPGOTY though

[KoToRfReAk]

1st place = kotor tsl*

2nd place = lotr the third age*

3rd place = bards tale*

4th place = final fantasy ? *( there are so many, must think... nooooooo)

 

 

 

 

*this is all hyoptheticly, i do not have any affiliathin with goty awards, and i am just guessing

[Ivan the Terrible]

No.

 

If KOTOR2 wins Game of the Year in something like a year of development while Half-Life 2 with some five years of pretty solid work is passed over, I'm guessing there will be mass suicides throughout Valve.

[KOTORFanactic]

Possible, competition is intense this year.

Cinemactic RPG Game of Year Hands Down.

Game of the Year, it will have a tough fight, and it will problably lose.

[Laozi]

No.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Kotor 2 will kick ass

Uh... were you at Valve to verify that those 5 years were actually of 'solid' work? Because the result sure doesn't support that.

[BC83]

Of course it will. Especially if it is as good as they say it is. 4 days left.

[GTN]

Yup, I think it will be nominated for GOTY. Maybe it'll even be the GOTY. Let's hope so

[Jad'en]

Nominated yes... but it wont win, solely because the majority of gamers prefer junk such as half life 2 and halo 2

[Lifthransir Bane]

Fable's probably the stiffest competition for RPG of the Year, so it looks like KOTOR2 will run away with that one.

 

Game of the year, considering the hype and expectations met, will probably be a two horse show between Halo 2 (who wants their avatar to be a guy in a short bus helmet with a name that suggests he'd be better suited to making a mean dish of plutzak than killing the guys from that Riddick movie) and GTA: San Andreas (not a criticism and not that I care, but was anyone surprised by the overwhelming amount of expletives thrown at you in this game?).

[GhostofAnakin]

Nominated? Probably (unless there's some "rule" that disqualifies it from the 2004 awards because the PC version isn't out yet).

 

Win? Probably not. Too many hyped games out this year.

[Laozi]

I was wondering, does a game getting GOTY ever influence anybody tp buy a game?

[Jad'en]

Not in the slightest... if i want a game it could be worst game of the year for all i care because i want it

It's never made me buy one. I generally don't buy in to the media hype. I tend to check out forums and reviews by "joe gamer" rather than rely on a game's hype in the press.

[shahmirTSL]

I think The Sith Lords would get 3rd place , Half-life 2 would get 2nd , Halo 2 would get GOTY

 

Even though I HATE Half Life and Halo <_<

 

Go TSL ! Go TSL ! Go TSL !

[Darth Riker Ketra]

Yes, it should be voted for and chosen for GOTY. Just like its predecessor... GO KOTOR 2, kick other games goodbye... )

[Darth Nole]

213374U...do you like any videogames?

 

Like everyone is saying. It will be nominated but it wont win.

[Lifthransir Bane]

That half-life gravity gun does look kind of cool.

No, because as I believe I stated earlier, I don't care what the industry says about the game's status. If I like it based on what I've seen, then I'll buy it, regardless of whether or not it gets GOTY. The people who decided it are largely, if not all, men. And men prefer the destruction of opponents. It's old leftover instinct. Which means Halo 2 probably calls to them more...and KOTOR II will have to settle for RPG of the year. If this weren't the Halo year, KOTOR II would have GOTY hands down, I would think. But it is a Halo year, and with all the (ridiculous amounts of) hype that surrounded it, KOTOR doesn't stand a chance.

So you're saying men who like rpgs better are more feminine than others huh?

[Jad'en]

Well thats odd...

[Lacan]

How about Vampire - Bloodlines and The Fall? Not that they are GotY candidates either but they are more innovative than K2, and Bloodlines is doing pretty well in terms of sales from what I hear. K2 is going to be a very good game no doubt, but that's not  to say it's GotY material.

 

Bloodlines is the best so far this year. I'm surprised, I didn't expect Bloodlines to do well at all in terms of sales. Has some tech issues though.

 

As to GOTY, sadly it will be GTA San Andreas, imo. Halo 2 was too disappointing in terms of length, level design, and ending. Half Life downfall, one word: Steam, not to mention boring plot and uninspired bad guys (or so I've been told). San Andreas was the only one to deliver on expectations, it seems.
