Giant Bomb Community Game of the Year - Most Disappointing Game (Voting)

Welcome as we continue a month long project I am hosting to allow the fans of the site to offer their chance to vote for the GOTY awards. Over the next month I will be posting a new award every day and will let the fans vote on the winner as well as the runners up. Here are links to the winners of the previous categories:

The Voting Process

So here's how we are going to do this. You will have free reign to nominate anything you want as long as it fits with the category and was released in 2011. When you reply to the post put your winner and runner up. So for example If I was voting for this category I would put down

Winner: From Dust

Runner Up: Uncharted 3

The way the scoring system will work is that the winner from each person will get 2 points and the runner up will get one point. At the end of the day I will tally up all the points and whoever has the most wins and consequently the 2nd and 3rd highest will be the runners up. For GOTY we will do a winner and four runners up but the voting process will still be the same.

Because I want to give more people an opportunity to cast their votes all the voting will be done over the course of the week and they will close on Friday December 16th at 11:59 pm EST. The Winners for each category will then be announced on Saturday.

Another self explanatory award but one that I am looking forward to seeing the response. this award is our only dubious award and is for games that were not necessarily bad but a game that did not live up to our expectations.

Well, I try to not give a shit about games before they come out, but here goes:

Winner: LA Noire (PC version, the actual game looked cool but the PC version was completely jacked)

Runner Up: F.E.A.R. 3 (I don't care about FEAR, but the ending of 2 was so crazy...and not relevant to FEAR 3)

Damn it. I just finished typing my GOTY blog (I have to add some links and pics, though), and I'm not spoiling any of my awards.

Winner: Dragon Age 2: For a lot of people Dragon Age Origins was a fantastic RPG. It had fun and intriguing characters, fun combat, and good groundwork for an interesting fantasy universe. Dragon Age 2 felt like something was missing. Something changed and it wasn't for the better.

Runner Up: I don't know Uncharted 3 because its not as good as 2?

Runner up: Bastion (It's all flash no substance. Without the cool art style and awesome narration, there would be nothing special about this game.)

Winner: Skyrim ( sorry but it just doesnt bring anything new, its just the same ol bethesda game, and theres rly nothing epic about it. Feels like an mmo )

Runner-up: Rage ( was a tough call between Dragon Age 2 and Rage but I had to pick Rage because its freaking John Carmack here, the lord of fps, and he has dissapointed me with this horrible fps that didnt run until just a few days ago when ati rlsed their preview drivers, and still the textures are worse then those of doom 3 in most areas )

Winner: Dragon Age 2.

Runner Up: L.A Noire.

I can see why a lot of people have reversed those placements, but I really loved me my DA: Origins. Easily one of my favourite games this gen, and to see it follow up with what DA2 turned out to be was a damn shame.
