Congratulations GGG on Gamespot's PC GOTY!

I'm gonna be honest. I'm a little pissed PoE got GOTY. This game still has several glaring flaws; ones that, in my opinion, should've kept it from winning (definitely deserves runner up though.)
It does a lot right, but the things it does right are trivialized by the things that are wrong: 1) Desynch: The amount this removes the player from actually using skill to overcome challenge really limits the potential of the game. In addition to obliterating otherwise really fun skills (Cyclone for example), consequently, it increases the... 2) Gear check. It's the only way to overcome the desynch since player active choice (in combat) isn't reliable. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if... 3) Drop Rate didn't suck so bad. Trading is really the only way to get anywhere if you want to be powerful. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if... 4) Currency was actually useful for crafting below god tier. I think most people understand the frustration here. The flaws just cascade down and poop on the things that make the game fun. REALLY disappointing. Not gonna be the popular opinion, but congrats, even if I disagree. |

In other good news Path of Exile was mentioned in GameInformer with an 8/10 :D

" 1) Desynch is here to stay. Get over it, or gtfo. 2) IT'S AN ARPG! 3) Drop rate is fine. Build MF, or run with a culler. I get tons of loot from running 1 map. 4) Use low tier currency to craft high and low end items, and higher (exalts/eternals) for godly stuff. I have put my thought on how crafting can be slightly improved, but that's a different matter. Sounds like this aint the game for you. GZ GGG....Job well done! IGN DanteAllighari - Standard

This is actually pretty disgusting. Its simply more proof that the gaming media industry is a joke.
Its great that you love the game, but if you can look at everything that came out this year and think this is the highest quality product that came out, you are simply lacking objectivity. |

Really nice job guys!!
Grats! |

Only got GOTY because it's free to play and gamespot wanted to shake things up by selecting a free to play game for the first time.
Look, I don't play DOTA 2, I barely even know what it is, but isn't this a game that defines a new genre or something? Can't believe that didn't win, it's immensely popular. |
