Did Homer vote in this thread? Cause if not his choice is Uncharted 2 (as heard on the podcast).

He did not vote in the thread, so we have to wear the badge of shame that is LKS as GOTY.

I know you are from Florida and thus like to rig elections, but here it was a directly proportionate vote. WinkWink

So any theories as to why Little Kings Story was left off or didn't win the Wii specific GOTY lists?

I think its Mario nostalgia for NSMB. I've played nothing else on the system this year that compares to the depth, charm and polish of LKS on Wii this year. So why is it being so overlooked in the awards?

If the other publications are anything like giantbomb (if you listen to their awards podcast) then it's probably because they are completely oblivious to LKS.  I listened further to their podcast this morning, they were equally insulting and ignorant of the DS and PSP as they were with the Wii.  One guy was making a push for a DS game he had not played but wanted it on the list because his girlfriend loved the first one and he was intending on buying her the sequel.

LOL no.

BTW how many of those Euro sites are giving LKS GOTY... none.

Most of the Euro or UK sites are too cultured to get involved in these silly yearly rankings.

If the other publications are anything like giantbomb (if you listen to their awards podcast) then it's probably because they are completely oblivious to LKS.  I listened further to their podcast this morning, they were equally insulting and ignorant of the DS and PSP as they were with the Wii.  One guy was making a push for a DS game he had not played but wanted it on the list because his girlfriend loved the first one and he was intending on buying her the sequel.  

What the hell?

You know this reminds me of something IGN said a while back. GOTY is usually awarded to the best game THE MOST PEOPLE HAVE PLAYED.

If people are all playing games like MW2 or Uncharted 2, its unlikely you are going to get the same number playing a game that is deemed lower priority by the press.

Not talking overall GOTY but Wii specific, LKS should have been up near the top. But more people would have played NSMB, Wii SPorts resort etc.

Did I say I was cultured? *farts loudly*

If they exist they should at least recognise the games that deserve it. To have LKS missing from Wii specific GOTY considerations is mind boggling. Gametrailers had DJ Hero and Beatles Rock Band in the top 5, along with Madworld.

DJ Hero. D............... J..................... Hero.

So aspro, where is the fanfare? We should proclaim LKS as The VG Press GoTY and Vader should put it in the GGD thread. 

Come on it's show time

Okay, well upon reviewing the tape, Homer did indeed indicate that Uncharted 2 was his GOTY.  Now, he did not think enough of the game, or our community, to come in here and vote, but we must love and respect Homer for his contributions to the podcast.

Therefore.  We have a tie.  Little King's Story  three votes.  Uncharted 2 three votes.

Gentlemen, this being our inaugural GOTY we cannot have a tie.  This is not futbol.

Therefore, I declare a run-off.  All active members of the VGPress are hereby called upon to chose only between Uncharted 2 and Little King's Story for GOTY.  If you have not played either, or both, please research your response carefully.

The ballot is now open.

Hey that is not fair, we have plenty of guys that did not post there GoTY! And it is idiotic to pick between two choices, because most of us had not played both. 

So I say we stick with LKS. Oh and Steel did not vote either.

Yeah, everyone had plenty of time to vote and if they did not it's their fault. Why are we acting like Florida all the sudden?

^Out of respect for Homer. Hey, if we don't get participation from the original voters, or enough folks agree with you, I'll post in the GGD (and probably get banned) on Tuesday at 18:30 my time.

Out of respect of Homer you are going to Floridize this election? I don't know man, Homer would not like that.

And think about. Let's take Yoda for example. You will be asking him to choose between U2 and LKS. He has not played either, how can choose in this situation?

Well, we have three votes for each. What do you want to do? Or is Homers vote a hanging chad cause he never voted in this thread?

Live with the shame of LKS GoTY and next year make a specific thread of the VG Press GoTY without "polluting" it with other sites GoTY. We fucked up, forcing people to choose between 2 games would make this GoTY an even greater joke.

Let's say U2 wins, by getting votes of people that did not play it. What kind of GoTY is that? And Steel would probably choose U2, unless he likes Ass Creed 2 more. But he did not vote either. If we are going to put Homer's vote, why not put Steel's vote in it also? 

And yes about not counting Homer vote, because he did not vote. If I say I am going to vote for a game and I did not vote, then I did not vote. How do you know that Homer had not changed his mind after he made that statement? Maybe he played Ass Creed 2 and found it even more awesome?

I can't believe I'm going to write this, but I do agree with Iga. If they didn't vote in this thread, then it shouldn't count.

Next year we will have to change the system. Neogaf has a nice system of points, but we will cross that bridge when we get there. 

Now change the title Nyaa

In something like "GoTY is LKS, U2 fans hang your head in shame for not voting"
