I will never understand these websites systems for picking nominees. How is it that ME3 is up for goty yet its not up for its category best nor is bioware up for studio award. Makes no sense at all. This is a common occurrence across a lot of sites.
As for my pick, not that anyone cares but i'll vent it onto the internets anyways, had you asked me up until about march 10th I would of said nothing will beat ME3. But that went down the drain (no need to say more), and to my suprise the game I was very very doubtful of all year, Halo 4, is now my pick. Now theres a game that pulled off an artsy bittersweet ending without soiling its pants in the process (not that thats the reason its my goty, just saying). Of course there wasn't really much competition. The only other game that even came close for me was Borderlands 2. Very slow year. But no, Halo 4 to my suprise is actually an amazing game that has completely rejuvinated my interest in its franchise after a significant wane.
ME3 does diserve credit for great gameplay, don't get me wrong. But the franchise to me was always about the story first and foremost. The travesty they wrought on that aspect in ME3 overrides the great progress they've made in the gameplay department. Sorry Bioware but you don't get this vote. Luckily my vote is as worthless as anyone elses though so who cares. The out of touch bought and sold media still loves ya, thats all that matters.
