Can we call GOTY yet?

[Beezy]

I think I am gonna load the game up and see what online's like nowadays...

I think it's still easy to find people online on the 360.

TONS of people on the PS3 version.  I'll check out the 360 version again another day.  It's fun playing this, but I want to get back to SF and Tekken.

Did you see about the ending?     I still may dump Episodes From Liberty City for it though.

I don't know...when did Fallout 3 come out, last year?

Other than that I'd say Beatles Rock Band.  Haven't played Batman yet, I really want to.

Why would I read about an ending before I even play a game smh

Fallout 3 GOTY came out this year.   

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I'd probably go with Dragon Age coming out on top even with the shitball dwarf questline and Batman AA following closely behind, though there's still some games I need to go through like AC2 and Demon's Soul.

It was one of those "you won't fucking believe this shit" type posts.

For awhile it was Infamous. But I think L4D2 has taken it.

Dragon Age.

Came out of nowhere for me, because the trailers didnt get my hyped which is a good thing.

I think the advertising actually worked against the game. Was really loud and obnoxious frat boy shit showing off the game's worst feature, the visuals. It honestly wasn't until a) EviLore's big thread and b) that badass CGI trailer that I thought "hrm, is there something good here after all?". Seriously, I wasn't even sure I was going to buy it until a week or so before it came out (and now it's of course my runaway GOTY).

agreed.  Game was not on my radar at all, then everyone started gushing about it. 

Same thing happened last year with Fallout...I kind of gave up on caring about it, even watched videos that made it look like a really horrible FPS, but once I got my hands on it, I was hooked.

Confirmed:  Assassin's Creed 2 is the best game of 2009

Ending was awesome.  I want AC3 so bad.

I kind of always had faith in BioWare- I figured that it would be better than Mass Effect, (and DEFINITELY better than the craptacular trailers) which was enjoyable enough.  Same thing with Bethesda and Fallout 3 last year- although in that case I was kind of just hoping that they would do something a little bit different with a new license since I didn't really think that Elder Scrollifying Fallout was the way to go.  Of course, I'm predisposed to loving timesink wrpgs, so in both cases the game was in my wheelhouse so to speak.

I'm sure Dragon Age will be my mythical GOTY whenever I get around to playing it.

I played until sequence 3 at Tuscany today.  For me AC1 was about a 6/10 game.  At the start of AC2 it felt about 6.5-7/10.  Then when they introduced the greatly upgraded stealth systems that actually makes stealth WORK and useful in this game as compared to AC1 when there was zero point in stealth it got better.  Then when they introduced the combat systems that were decently upgraded from AC1 it got a little better.  Right now it's about an 8/10 for me.  I'm guessing there are still a lot more systems to be introduced and each one will make the game increasingly better? 

Still hate the platforming though.  Holding up and having it auto-do everything is zzz.
