Congratulations GGG on Gamespot's PC GOTY!

Although I do think POE is the best Diablo2-style-ARPG in post-Diablo2 age, I really wasn't expecting a GOTY. POE still has a lot to improve, including desync, desync, desync, general balance, visual effect, RMT etc.

But...anyway congratulations GGG!

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.

Erm no? DOTA 2 is a copy and paste of DOTA. I won't get into the LoL vs DOTA debate (even though LoL is vastly superior to me), but DOTA 2 is no way genre defining, nor is it the first of its genre (that would be DOTA...from many many moons ago).

Ah okay, I never followed or cared much about LoL either, just know it's all the rage these days and seems like there's probably a good reason for it? Same with Star Craft 2, I'm not into it at all but I can understand why others are.

Anyways, Europa Universalis IV didn't even get nominated so I take the whole thing with a grain of salt ;) Who cares...

It appears that you have provided your own citation.Half the time I see you post you are being disgustingly insulting and degrading to people, and this post is just another example of such.

And while you're looking, have a long, hard look at your own post history. You have consistently had sour grapes for this game for long as I can remember, but still, here you are, raining on another parade. Why? Does it give you pleasure to be a negative nancy? To denigrate the achievements of others?

I'm simply stating my opinions, which is the entire point of the forums. In this example, I do not see this as any kind of achievement because I consider it to be part of a joke system.

Do you not get enough praise for your own achievements, and so feel it's wrong when others do?

A perfect example of how degrading you are to people. By your logic, and I to assume that you are degraded in your personal life, and thats why you do it to others here?

I'm genuinely baffled why you do this. What do you get out of it? You don't like the game. That's fine. You've certainly said it plenty of times. But to pooh-pooh this thread celebrating so much of GGG's hard work is just plain rude and unnecessary.

I obviously have never stated in any way shape or form that I hate this game, and you know that.(or imagined it) When I'm actively playing, I put more time in then probably 99% of the playerbase, which should suggest that I rather enjoy playing the game, but you of course wouldn't know that and just rather continue being blissfully ignorant so you can make gross assumptions to attack me.

This thread is a conversation. It is for discussion and opinions. I stated my opinion. It happened to be negative. Its really that simple. Coming to any conclusions other then that about me as a person says a great deal more about you as a person then it does me.

By the way, how many times have you been on probation now? I believe I'm at zero still.

very unexpected but congrats GGG and keep the momentum going!

That's amazing, congrats GGG!

Congrats, GGG. Well deserved imo. PoE has been my favorite game for a while now.

WHY?

I just think he is mad he never got that 5link. I think deep down he really loves the game

Dudes,

congrats!
Enjoy the moment, take a breather and then go back to work and make it even better!! :)

Seriously, I voted for PoE in many GOTY polls because the game is great, addictive and has lots of untapped potential!

GGG, just keep on keepin' on!
