Uhm, don't misinterpret this, but TOR won MMO of the year, with like a couple days left in the year, GW2 is winning stuff before it is launched...Sorry but I could care less, and people seem to like crap or get paid off...So sorry if I am cynical about caring what some magazine/internet site thinks of any mmo that is coming out, when they have acted like EVERY mmo coming out is a masterpiece, until it becomes trash/junk in most peoples minds.
I own GW2, I will be playing it, but I only played the first beta event after pre-orders, and I am probably at a 5-6 out of a 1-10 scale....I may end up being a 7-8 or more, who knows....I have just been too busy to play the betas, and I think some of the issues I had in that beta have been tweaked/fixed....
So I am not predicting doom, but game sites and magazines telling me how good a game is, is kind of like someones momma telling their son they are smart and good looking...Does it really mean much? It makes me more scared, than joyous....With the trend and all...
This is nice but after everyone giving SWTOR GOTY awards, I look away from this type of stuff altogether.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

Is that a personal scale? or based on the usual internet scale?
Im glad GW2 won. If my memory serves me correct though, this was an online poll available to everyone. Furthermore, the GW2 reddit community was making sure it won.
I kinda wish they didnt give these types of awards out for MMO's (especially before they launch). The fact that such gems like SWTOR and others have recieved similar awards makes this kinda meaningless.
Despite this, I voted for GW2, but I also wanted to see Dishonored take the top spot.....TBH.

just personally, I mean I hope it ends up being a 10, but the little I have looked into the crafting/harvesting and such, it's not a total package....WvWvW looks good, not into arenas so don't care either way on those to be positive or negative...Just gotta find a class/race combo for launch and hope that it has longevity for me.
As for internet scale, I would say it is 8-9, since it seems the majority think its great, atleast it seems that way....Kind of why I am hoping the tweaks to the classes I played may make them more enjoyable, or a different class....I was just not blown away, and it seems a lot of people are, so hoping it happens, but I cannot say it will....Either way they got my cash and I should get my money out of it.
Grats for GW@! I was shocked to see that PS2 only got bronze. I expected at least silver due to all the positive reviews and press from the various conventions.
Cheers!

Was there any other game released in 2012 that can compete with Guild Wars 2? It's no surprise it got 1/4 of the votes, it IS that much better than the competition

At first I was like...duh....then I realized it was for all games, not just MMOs.
This is a very impressive feat and well deserved nod to ANet.

I wasnt at all so sure, Wow have been really good to get it fans to vote for it in the past.
But while I didnt vote I agree with the poll.
Congrats to anet they deserve it!
But it really does not surprise me and it shouldnt surprise anyone when GW2 wins multiple awards for 2012..
Playing GW2..
