I posted the exact same thing and a lot of people complained about how I ruined the GOTY. So I deleted the post, created a new title with a spoiler warning and posted the exact same thing again.

THIS POST WILL TELL YOU WHICH GAME IS #1 THIS YEAR

I like Skyrim and I think it truly deserves to be number 1 on Gaint Bomb's top 10. No doubt. But I want to point out something that another person has mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I think it is worth mentioning and worth thinking about it.

I played Skyrim on PS3 and unlike other PS3 uers, I was fortunate enough to not experience any severe problems. Just a couple of freeze ups(like twice) but other than that, it did not go straight up unplayable or broken.

But truth be told, Skyrim on PS3 is atrocious. As a matter of fact, it is really unplayable for some people. Breaks my heart but whatever. It is what it is.

Now, this other person, whose user name I cannot really remember, wrote something about how Skyrim does not deserve to be number 1 purely because it failed to deliver a great experience equally to all platforms. I thought that was a fair point on some extent; however, I did not really care what he wrote mostly because I, personally, was having great experiences with it. But at the same time, he brought something that, I believe, is a crux of his argument.

He mentioned how Ryan ruled out Bayonetta as a winner of some category couple of years ago because that game had so much problems on PS3.

It is funny how Giant Bomb crews(or even us, really) often say "bugs cannot be overlooked and it does not give a free pass no matter how good the game is"(as a matter fact, I think Jeff mentioned in one of the GOTY podcasts). We decided to penalize Bayonetta for failing to deliver equal experience through out the platforms, and yet we basically gave a pass to Skyrim because well... it is an amazing game.

I am going to say this again because I really want to make this clear, I do not have any problems with Skyrim being number 1. I did not have problems with it and I feel bad for other people who are having horrible experiences due to the game bugs. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

I don't know. Maybe they will explain it on their Day Five GOTY Podcast. I don't know. I haven't heard the whole thing yet since it's like 4 hours(YES!!).
