In my mind, Skyrim was the best of the letdowns. Everything that came out this year had so much hype and little delivery. Give me every game of last year and say You have to pick a best and Skyrim is going to win, even if the dirt is made of is a little prettier then the dirt to the left or the right. Its all still dirt, but someone had to win.
If you were disappointed with 2011, I cannot fathom how you managed to enjoy 2010, 2009, 2008, etc.
We had Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, Skyward Sword, Skyrim, Portal 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dead Space 2, Forza Motorsport 4, FIFA 12, NBA 2K12, Dark Souls, Modern Warfare 3, LA Noire, Battlefield 3, Mortal Kombat, Dirt 3, Crysis 2, Killzone 3, inFamous 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, RAGE, Trine 2, Bastion, Super Mario 3D Land, Resistance 3, Frozen Synapse, LittleBigPlanet 2, NHL 12, Terraria, Rayman Origins, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Total War: Shogun 2, The Witcher 2, and Saint's Row: The Third...
Yep, no lie. Beat Arkham City, felt so much like Arkham Asylum I didnt bother with the filler.
Saints Row the Third is outrageous and fun, but still an almost direct copy of SR2, SR2 also had better outfit customization, which was quite a letdown.
Skyward Sword - which everyone seems to declare "should" have won GOTY is nothing more then an OOT port, just like EVERY OTHER DAMN ZELDA GAME. I understand, compelling story, great gimmicks that are worked into the game, but the gameplay hasnt made any fundamental changes since OOT, with maybe some exception to the Motion Sensors (if you actually like a Wii-mote).
Portal 2 - Portal 1, with Wheatley
The Witcher 2 - If I remember correctly, that was the game where difficulty meant adding more enemies in fights?
Sports Games are sports games, the Soccer field is two blocks from my house.
SOme of the others I havent heard of or played, which might be a testament to their "popularity".
CODMW3 - Really? Probably the bottom of my list with BF3 just above it, THANKS ORIGIN!
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - ID maybe put that runner up behind Skyrim.
Well that last 3 years had some title releases like Starcraft 2, Dragon Age (not sure on DAO), as well I got sucked into WoW for a year too. Quit that **** again, big waste of time, total regret.
TBH, I didnt see the value of buying many games this year and 80% of my purchases were Sept-Dec, good thing i had SC2 to distract me.

Well, that's too bad. I hope more games come out in 2012 that are to your liking, but as for me, I'll be playing 2011 games for the next couple of years, most likely.
I still enjoy Skyrim, Minecraft and more SC2. Hopefully we will get some better quality games next year. Im not saying these games are inherently terrible, I just find when im doing massive repeats of things I did in their previous games, the "I love this game" is replaced with "Ive played this before!". Cept the Escort with the Tiger in the car in SR3, I could do that **** all day.
Oh, Hangover, good movie, Hangover 2.....copied a good movie.
SKyrim did have some similar stuff, but Bethesda has proven they are willing to take risks. The game isnt as bad as many say and I still think its decent itself. Gave me more play hours then about 50% of the games I normally play.

COD:way to overrated, it does not deserve success that it has now,Its great that it is losing its REP.Its about time the "movie game quality" game is going down.!
Minecraft:It is slightly overrated,But not as much as COD,The cool thing about minecraft is that when if you are creative enough,you can think up of other ways to play the game.
I'm pretty sure just about every video game on IGN top 100 list has been stated now. Stupid diverse opinions...

Homefront was overrated? Even before its released it was a pretty quiet about it then after released no one talked about it or at least on the forums I been on. It was a very bland BF + Crysis MP unoriginal shooter. (BF as in vehicles and such Crysis for the points system)
everyone stop saying COD is overrated. Its a great game and u guys probably tried it once, rage quit, and then never played again.
Yea, no. I played cod for a while, got into it and got kinda good but it's the most overrated piece of festering manure the gaming industry has to offer. Their innovation ended after World at War.

I played the damn series from Call of Duty 2 all the way to Modern Warfare 2, CoD IS overrated, the series outsells most games on a new CoD's launch date than the other games have in their entire span.

Theres nothing like having a 10 year old swear at me at the top of his lungs during a COD game. I think the actual reason almost everyone who doesnt play COD, hates COD, is because of its community. The COD community is trash and ruins the gameplay experience.

Zelda. This is just my personal opinion and if so many people see something that I don't then I must be the one who is wrong but I think this game series is mediocre and boring.
Zelda is underrated, besides you probably didn't play ocarina of time, if you did then it's ok, that means you just aren't into that kinda gameplay of LoZ.

Call of duty 3-7 are highly overrated, I liked the first two, but the others I played I just hated, not enough single player gameplay, multiplayer is ********, mostly based on what ****ing level, perks, and the gun you got, almost nothing is skill based.
COD 3-7 are overplayed and overrated HIGHLY, I miss the ages when CODMW didn't exist, I miss it alot.
Also you spelled 'You' incorrectly, its 'you' not 'u' learn to spell
It's just a first person shooter, there are millions of others exactly like it.
Oh and the Half Life series.
I agree with both of these. I've only played MW3 but it seemed really dull and was basically "whoever shoots first wins" (I wont judge the others). Half-Life 2 (again, haven't played the first) was a good game but the Fanboys are as annoying as CoD fanboys.

No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...

out of all of those, Battlefield offers the most enjoyment, but it's chock full of kids trying really hard to be
"anti-cod".

Another FPS? This game is not "just another FPS". And i could write a paragraph about it and explain why it isnt, but i dont feel like it now, WOO!
