Fair enough for GW2, personally stopped playing it, but I can agree its a damm good game, and deserves the game of the year award.
TL2 was also damm good, esp when you consider the size of the developer who put out such a damm good game.
R:SL was undoubtably the best expansion, so much content, so much fun.
If you are a fan of scifi or fantasy literature or are at least familiar with more than the most popular fantasy/ scifi settings out there maybe you would understand the frustration of some people when they see the same theme being used over and over again, there's a lot more to chose from out there i promise you.
it's not as simple as assigning a "clone" label if you really want to get into it.
I'll grant you GW2 puts a new spin on old stuff in the genre, but then thats what wow did. And you do not even want to go there when it comes to what wow copied, its whole lore is basically ripped off from various religious and mythological texts, and not even very subtly. No issue with that, but lets not pretent its orignal ok? becuase its blatantly not./
At least Zam's list didnt include D3 in their top 5 game of the year ^^'

D3 #9 overall, #5 pc game
Yeah, i laughed too when i saw that.
But im not sure how accurate/serious that website is... saying a title that came out 11th dec to be #1 of the year...

I used to laugh at this as well. Until I realised how much time did I spend in D3. Surely it's way worse than 2, surely it made may stupid plot choices, and surely highest level content is an economic simulator, but still, I can't call a game bad after I spent several hours getting to this top level, and even tried to experiance it.
Yeah farming and grinding is D3. The biggest problem I had with that game is that it was built, seemingly, around the auction house. So the loot system ends being terrible there. I also wasn't a fan of how they did the skills, I'd rather have talent trees. Otherwise it was a decent game that had typical blizzard polish and presentation with their combat and such.
Fony and Lore are all I recognize. And not from that site, from GBTV. Though I do watch the BFF Report now (cause Mike B rules!).
On Topic: GW2 should have won it. Zam focuses on PC gaming, and for PC gaming, there wasn't anything better this year.
D3 was letdown of the year. Flip a coin for expansion of the year (between MoP and Storm Legion). GW2 was, and is, the best PC game released this year. Honorable mention to TSW.
Grats to ANet. Deserved praise.

For me Planetside 2 is by far the game of the year, but could be because i like the MMO FPS style more than the 47653th MMO RPG, but i can see, why not many people would like that game sadly
