While you're totally right in saying that fun factor really is the most important thing about a game, the problem is that not everyone thinks the same things are fun. Which is why having a GOTY is pointless there's going to be so many different GOTY votes that it makes everything moot.

I can see what you're saying, so maybe more of the less-experienced gamers then. Like the people that play COD and only COD they might enjoy it and realize that there are more games than just military shooters.

See I think the pacing part is a lot about the player. In other words it's a lot about how fast you solve the puzzles. So maybe later in the game the puzzles got too difficult or too long and it made it seem more like it was draaaaging along.

Mature people will play a game they absolutely hate multiple times? (3 times now?) lol No, mature people will realize they hate the game and move on, a lot of the time because they have better things to do than play a game, that they hate, multiple times. I can understand if you 'gave it another chance' if you…

I couldn't have said it better myself, well said.

I assume you're directing this comment to me.

I wasn't really trying to insult at all, I'm just saying that no 'flinging' isn't a real reason, IMO, to not like a game.

Has Bastion been in this series of "The Best Game Music of 2011" because it definitely should be. I'm waiting Kotaku, I'm waiting :)

Yep I'm a 1st grader, you got me there. Damn, I can't believe you figured me out.

No, GOTY is absolutely an opinion, what I'm saying is that your statement implied that what you said was a fact.

Let me correct your statement for you.

Kotaku, How is this comment showing up? Did someone really promote this comment, REALLY?

I beg to differ sir, but I respect your opinion.

"Now Portal's lacking its best mechanical bit, gameplay flow through flinging, 'cause it's harder for controllers to be so reactive."

I agree, he must not have played the co-op because I thought there were quite a few parts where you had to 'fling'. Even so, how the hell is that a reason to dislike a game, less flinging?Really? what?

Really? I completely disagree. But, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

I wouldn't chance it.

Wow, I just googled "Prometheus and Bob" and got a HUGE rush of nostalgia, I forgot about that claymation show, I miss claymation we need more of that, robot chicken is kinda like that but it's not really clay.

You're probably right and like I said I'm not sold on the whole Jesus thing, I've been nearing closer and closer to agnostic/atheism for years now...all I'm saying is no matter what you believe you should still show some respect to others beliefs and not call it "some random day out of the year".

That actually piques my interests. That's the main reason why I couldn't stick with WOW, I tried it for a couple months and just got bored with it. Most likely because EVERYTHING you do is basically pointless. "Hey go get 15 pumpkins, I want to make pumpkin pie" seriously?
