i think its hard for a game that comes out in Q1 to win GOTY. thats just how stuff works. by Q4 i guess people have forgotten about games released earlier in the year.

if youre talking about the spike VGA, then idk maybe. spike VGA is very mainstream and i was REALLY REALLY REALLY surprised that MW3 didnt win GOTY since thats more of a "jock's game" which is the kind of demographic spike is focused on, as opposed to the hardcore rpg gamers that skyrim attracts. but dont get me wrong, i think skyrim deserved every bit of GOTY.

i think ME3 is gonna be epic enough to deserve a GOTY.

Between this and Bioshock Infinite, it could be pretty tough. If GTA V, The Last Guardian and/or (if it turns out more than great) The Last of Us do release this year then pray.

I think its silly to even think about GOTY in January.

Gaming journalism is a joke most of the time. Just look at last years VGA show. This time they dedicated far too much time to advertising as usual, phoned in celebrities, and just treated the awards as a foot note. Only this time they weren't content with merely treating the games as a joke, they had to lower the bar further by been ****s to the people they were awarding. They had people like Mark Hamil sitting in with the audience, and they ****ing tea bagged Zachary Levi in the middle of his speech that he prepared for his award.

Okay, now that I've vented my pent up rage at the media lowering the already low bar for gamer credibility allow me to say that I do not give two ****s what these jokers without a shred of decency think of Mass Effect 3. Their recognition for me is as contemptible as any piece of **** that I'd wipe off of my feet. Because too often they only go with the flow, and just reflect whatever game has the backing of the mainstream gamer, and that is a ****ty, arbitrary criteria to award games with.

GTA V or Diablo III will get it.

The thing with GOTY awards is that most people tend to forget about gaming experiences from early in the year. They're all hung up on the games they've recently played and have recently enjoyed. It's why Skyrim won over Portal 2. Skyrim was simply the more recent.

It has to compete against Halo 4, Diablo 3, GTA V and many more. This time it won't be as easy as 2010 was.

I still expect it to win a lot of titles, and I am supporting it in each one of them (probably)

ME3 is very likely to win several GOTY awards.

[Archaven]

ME3 won't be my GOTY. Probably Diablo 3 or Darksiders 2 for me.

[Unit-Alpha]

Either gonna Bioshock or GTA (if it comes out).

Yes.

Mass Effect 2 won a lot of GOTY awards and Mass Effect 3 seems to be an upgrade on almost all fronts.

Mass Effect 3 vs BioShock Infinite vs GTA V

Vs Diablo 3 in the popularity contests.  We already know which one would win that.

Plus after seeing the full "squad" all I could say was "Ugh, oh well"

Needless to say as a fan of the ME2 squad I feel a little left out.

Yeah, the current ME3 squad  is one of the most underwhelming of the franchise.  It's as though they went out of their way to put all of the most boring or disliked characters together (including the massively overrated ones that romance wierdos gush and swoon over).  The only semi-interesting one of the bunch is Garrus and the unknown DLC character (who better make up for the rest with a stellar personality/story and usefulness).

Liara: totally contrived and fake in almost every way, with a performance of naive innocence that belies her power and stature. She filled a biotic niche in the first game for those that really needed it, but was otherwise nothing special.  I don't actually really dislike her, but she's just nothing special at all to me and simply the male Shepard "doin the nasty with a space alien" option.

Ashley/Vega: stereotypical "marine" found in every FPS/TPS.  Nothing new to see here.

Tali: Has a pretty cool backstory actually, and has a good voice actor.  Beyond that though, being a displaced space Israelite with a gas mask doesn't make her the best character ever created like so many would try to get you to believe.  The main reason most scream for her is just so that the mask can finally be removed.  As a useful squad member she's always been one of the most useless next to Kaiden.

Kaiden:  I liked his comments while in the elevator, but that's all he was good for.  Maybe he will have enough of an ME2 Sentinel injection to not be a worthless teamate besides an early lift/decryption.  He's still human though like the majority of the rest of the squad, and the lack of diversity doesn't help his cause.  He's also just there for a female Shepard romance option by popular demand.

As for the actual topic question; who the hell knows unti they've actually played it?  If it turns out even 90% as good as ME2 from a gameplay/replay value perspective with the epic/urgency factor of the first, then it definitely will be one of, if not the GOTY for me at least.  We already know that the production values are much higher this time, and they were through the roof in the second compared to the first; so that's always a plus too.

I'm know that I'M going to have fun for hours and hours playing it, but NO.

Not that it matters all that much at this point (especially for fans), but Bioware has kind of lost their edge in the GOTY category. And before anyone misunderstands me, I'm talking about exactly what I just said.........EDGE.

It's been quite awhile since Bioware has actually done something that could be considered truly groundbreaking or cutting edge. They seem to be stuck on making their games more mass appealish, and this has brought their once high standards down.

For me it just won't matter if it gets any GOTY honors, I'm still going to enjoy playing it.
