So now that you've had tons of time to think it over, what do you think was the best game of 2011?

Mine was probably either Portal 2 or Skyrim... can't really decide. Yeah I know, boring choices.

If Skyrim didn't have so many little issues, and if they had perhaps focused on really fleshing out a few quests instead of bombarding you with lame ones it may have been a way better experience.

Thoughts?

It's pretty obvious that it's gonna be either Skyrim or Portal 2. My guess is that Portal 2 will take home the gold.

For me? I have to go with Portal 2. I played that campaign about 23 times, and I went through the coop quite a few times, and it never got old :D

Dead Space 2 was done well, but doesn't quite stack up against Portal 2.

Originality being the same as the last 5 in the series???
BF3 graphics are better
Community is shmaybe, but look at most played games on steam... Is MW3 there? I didn't think so.
You give a game GOTY because of the amount of guns it has... I could develop a GOTY game then.
The second originality is repeated and not very original.

strategy- shogun 2
RPG- skyrim /xenoblade
puzzle- Portal 2
mecha- gundam extreme VS
fighting - gundam extreme vs
action - batman
racing - forza 4
shooting - Gears 3
survival horror - dead space 2
flight - ace combat assault horizon
beat them up - dynasty warriors gundam 3

these are the best games i played. the game that i would vote for the best would be gundam extreme VS. this game was a really polished and has an excelent gameplay. i already liked the previous games for PSP but this one blew my mind. excelent graphics, great and varied roster, good balance, good singleplayer plus excelent co op modes and great mutiplayer.
however the games that i played more hours would be either shogun 2 or skyrim. but from games coming from either bethesda or Creative assembly so i have higher espectations for them.

Portal 2

It's not fair to compare all games against each other when some games are console/PC-only games, while others function better on a certain platform while being on both console and PC, and also comparing indie games to AAA games is highly unfair. PC GotY is definitely Portal 2, while console GotY should be Skyrim. The horrible PC controls for Skyrim nearly killed my vote for Skyrim as GotY at all until I found that is was much better with a 360 controller. For an indie GotY, I would go Dungeon Defenders based solely on gameplay. DD's DLC can be overwhelming to some, but it has been implemented well, and constant steam sales keep it cheap overall.

It is fair to compare games with other games. There are AAA games that are shit and indie games that are phenomenal.

My most anticipated game this year is indie and developed by two people...

Buggy multiplayer is a trait of TW games. Me and my friend obtained the left half of Japan at around turn 60, and then desync issues started to arise.
One day Creative Assembly will make a TW game that has no multiplayer issues. But I don't know when.

When they make game without multiplayer?

Or console version - neither MS nor Sony will allow releasing such a game on their boxes.
