Alicia Keys is a great artist and she sells a lot of records

I somewhat agree...I would like to see DA get the recognition it deserves, especially for all of the work put into the rather original (by fantasy standards) setting and lore. The last RPG I remember wherein a company successfully did some good creative work on a fantasy setting was...probably Morrowind (certainly not Oblivion...blech).

That said, I really couldn't care less about all of the Game of the Year nonsense. So, some silly magazine declares some game OMFGGameOfTehYearLOLOL111! So now the publisher releases a GOTY edition of their game so they can re-sell the same game again with some "free" DLC. It's all pretty meaningless if you ask me.  It has more to do with marketing than recognition of high quality.  *cough*thegrammys*cough*

Uncharted does not have a PC player base. MW2 has a disastrous PC player base now. DAO has influence over 360, PS3 and PC. I'm actually rather surprised how the PS3 port turned out for the game from what I've heard and seen about it.



Remember too, GOTY is a very biased award given by game websites. It is NOT voted by players, it is just another article the publication feels and decides. At the same time most of those websites simply love to all jump into a bandwagon, namely the recent PC version of MW2, which has a metacritic of 90%+ and an average user vote of 50%.

is this game really that good and why? I haven't played it yet....

LIL KIS DID U REALLY JUST ASK THAT
u and every other subsriber should know that every time a bioware game is made it is absolutly revolutionary
and upcoming titles like mass effect 2 and the old republic will only continue to prove that

Just FYI - saying things like, "every game from company X is always categorically stellar" doesn't lend much credibility to your statement.  You might as well start your post with, "I'm a really devoted fan of company X and my perspective completely lacks any kind of objectivity, but..."

Just sayin'.

Probably true. Now I know how my pen and paper D & D classmates felt in the 80's.

you do have a point inhuman one oscars are 80 percent of the time awarded to movies no one like

examples are in 1978 when STAR WARS a revolutionary epic lost to driving miss daisy

Heh - Star Wars was nominated in 1977, Driving Miss Daisy was nominated in 1989.

or in 2007 when a horribly ended movie like no country for no men one the award and not 300 or juno

300 wasn't nominated - and wasn't a great movie anyway. No Country for Old Men was a great movie.

[UBER GEEKZILLA]

your right sorry lil kis i meant no offense

[Riddley313]

DAO is really something special. I come from old school RPGs like baldurs gate/icewind dale/planescape torment, and so I'm always very cynical when it comes to more modern offerings. When they claimed DOA was the "spiritual successor to baldurs gate", I certainly had my doubts.



After playing the game for some time, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing, the voice acting, the great companion characters that are very well developed, and most importantly the story. Frankly, the game is wonderful so far, and I haven't played a game with such a focus on quality and attention to detail in ages.



Here's hoping it gets the recognition it deserves. Also, lets hope for some great expansion packs.

MW2's story is shown almost only on the loading scenes. LOADING SCENES!! Now, compare that fail to Dragon Age. Who wins?

[UBER GEEKZILLA]

DUDE OKDADIO NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN SUCKED

it started really good though had a great story but the ending SUCKED there was no climax the cop got killed by a buncha random guys the money disipeared and tommy lee jones character didnt even fit in the story

but your right i was wrong bout the whole driving miss daisy thing i ment annie hall won the oscar of 1978 i confuse the 2 for some odd reason

and 300 was awsome cuz it was a true story was visully amazing and the acting for the characters was great. i will admit though its not as good as braveheart or Gladiator

[kungfusam]

But it plays like KOTOR set in middle earth, there is nothing new or original in the entire game



Ripping on MW2 for being generic is fair enough, but then adding unlike Dragon Age, is just daft

Hahaha, IW wishes!!

MW2 PC version: 88 / 100 metascore and 1.7 / 10 for user review... which is 88% and 17% respectively.

Game's no longer win on excellent storytelling. It's a sad fact. Ever since gaming started to appeal to the masses and not a niche community, it's been vaunrable to the cracks of biased and uninformed opinion. Just like voting.

i will admit kungfusam dragon age isnt the best game ever infact i think mass effect is biowares best game so far but you got to admit even though the typical medeval fantsay setting in rpgs is extremly common dragon age is still quite creative with its massive back story and charcters and vioce work. and i do belive that it is one of the more intense and darkest games ive seen
one things for sure its way more creative the MW 2 which is basicly MW1 with a few new weapons and multyplayer maps

From what I've seen and heard, DA:o looks like a well done game. But I still haven't seen anything that is innovative.

Agree with this, although if you think about it, Modern Warfare 2 had huge potential for storytelling. It didn't have that typical Sci - Fi shooter elements or Fantasy RPG stuff.

[Beertastic]

Actually, Uncharted 2 wasn't another flashy shooter with a bunch of explosions and no depth, it was a great sequel to a great game. Both of them are must haves, and though Dragon Age: Origins is my favorite game ever, I would not be surprised nor disappointed to see Uncharted 2 get the GOTY title, they both deserve it and are both equally great games.

Video games aren't really about stories, sure they can add alot, but so can good graphics, sound design ect...

No video game should win a goty because it has a good story, it should be about the game

Yeah, No Country For Old Men was absolutely the best picture that year.  If you didn't get the ending that's fine, but it's not the film's fault.  300 was fun, but nowhere near Oscar-worthy IMO.

Also, Mass Effect was a neat game, but the RPG system was incredibly shallow, and much of the game was fairly repetitive.  Dragon Age has a lot more depth to its gameplay.  Then again, I've been gaming since the early '80s when content and gameplay were king and pretty cinematics didn't exist, so...maybe I'm biased.

Opinions are fun, eh?

[Atmosfear3]

While this game is quite good, there are lot problems that would cost it that title, not that I thought for a second DAO would be goty.
