GT GotY Awards Outrage

[Darktau]

eh, it's not like GT is a real game award, thing anyway.

Still, I don't see what's so good about it, especially not when going up against inFAMOUS, or Uncharted 2 for the PS3. I don't remember any exclusives for the 360, ODST perhaps? What did the 360 have for award worthy exclusive games this year?

Lost odyssey maybe? I mean 360 has ALOT of exclusives but only a few I can see are REALLY good. But some other contestants could be? Gears 2, ODST, PGR, Forza.

Other than that not many more for 2009 ( I wikipedia'd it )

EDIT: half ninjad?

Gamespot at least had some diversity.
GT criticized every single player game for having no multiplayer. Really?

I agree, the best of should be limited to exclusives, not multi-platform games.

"Best [insert console] Game" is a common misconception. If they were talking about exclusives, they would've titled it "Best [insert console] Exclusive". They're clearly talking about what are the best games (period) for those platforms, exclusive or not. You don't have to agree with the winners and nominees, but you do have to agree with the logic.

the game is the fastest selling game ever, and the most pirated game of the year.

That has to count for something.

I'm not a MW2 fan myself, but I tip my hat to it. Do you really need Gametrailers to tell you again how awesome Uncharted 2 is? It swept the other awards. Every award that Uncharted 2 or MW2 were upfor, they won. One of them had to lose best PS3 and best PC.

Well that was kind of half assed.

Alright, what are we going to do for the best game on the platform awards.

Well I think we should grade it on a system of our reviews and the communities response to the ga-

Fuck it, just put Modern Warfare 2 for everything.

MW2 is a good game, but the fact that the selling point was the multiplayer really pissed me off. 'Oh you wanted a longer, better story for your sixty dolars? FUCK YOU'. I was expecting much more of the story mode. Now what am I to do but play XBL with 12 year old homophobes. Really? Of the two years they had, they couldn't just write a longer story? And there really were better games this year. Jesus didn't come again for this game.

MW2 is a league of it's own, it doesn't need to bother with silly little mortal games.

I actually saw the GT reviews a few days ago, and I was thinking there will definitely be a thread about how horrid the awards went. Basically, the main games that got awards were Uncharted 2 and MW2.

those two were undoubtedly the "games of the year"

There were good games, Assassin's Creed 2, Demon's Souls, Street Fighter 4, Arkham Asylum, but nothing like those 2 hit us this year.

I do think Uncharted 2 probably should have won best PS3 game, but will I cry about it? definitely not. Just because someone doesn't lavish their highest honor on your game of choice doesn't mean they're wrong and you're justified in being a ninny about it.

You're entitled sure, but I can assure you, there are more important things to worry about then some fanboy fueled flamewar.

Yeah I waas pretty disappointed with the whole thing. Not that I care much for the Wii, but I felt they should have given the award to a third party, just because they're was so little support. It's not like Nintendo and its first party support is ever going to stop making games for their platform, but they are running some serious risks if they don't give credit to the struggling third party companies with decent games like MadWorld. You know, for the hardcore gamers?

And I didn't respect the fact that Modern Warfare pretty much swept the competition. It's like they gave each award to a different staff member and they didn't know what games the other staff members were picking. And they ended up all picking the same two. Not that these two choices were bad, by any means, but I'd rather see awards more spaced out.

But all this is assuming people actually care what GT thinks.

This is where all my anger went. GameTrailers on the other hand was far superior in terms of categories, choices, and all around explanation for those choices. The VGA?

Even this masturbatory fantasy of 14 year old boys won an award.

She won an award for voice acting. Key word: acting. ACTING!?!

(Side Note: I don't care if she's from my home state. You gotta bring something more to the table than being a nice ass. Get some acting lessons, build a likable personality, STAND OUT amongst the other Lohan, Hilton, Simpson air heads, and leave that narcissistic attitude at the door. It'll betray you in the long run.)

OT: You can't please everybody all the time. Them's the brakes buddy. Sorry your choice didn't win. That's life. Happy New Year.

[HEADING=1]NOT BIG SURPRISE![/HEADING]​

GT is as reliable as a broken cat on a ironing board filled with ants.

Wait what?

The more idiotic Christians say the more I question my religion.
Much more of this Christian fascism and I think I'm out.

 

[jimduckie]

gee and the other sites and reviewers say something different so my response is simple IDGAS ... goty has nothing to do with me buying a game , it's do i like the game and mw2 was a game i could have waited to get , just like mw1 , bought it almost 2 yrs after it came out

 

[Vrex360]

Well granted every reviewer is entitled to his own opinion and in turn it can't be percieved as a general offense to those who would disagree. Honestly I have issue with people complaining that a game they didn't like got an award by someone else who expressed their liking of a game because in the long run what does subjective personal opinion really mean? It's not like it's the greatest offence to mankind to say that a game that not everyone likes is brilliant.
I mean granted they should only give exclusive 360 titles the award for best 360 game as that's fair, multiplatform games should get their own section but still I find that GT usually has the right thing to say on the matter and really I'm not all that bothered by what they personally have chosen to give awards to.

I'm sorry, but if you play first-person shooters in 2009 (now 2010) that aren't named Bioshock or Half-Life and are looking for a good story, you're probably an idiot. No offense intended, but FPS games aren't really known for their groundbreaking single player experiences. I myself enjoyed MW2's campaign, but come on. Everyone knew it was a multiplayer game going into it. CoD4 was a multiplayer game. CoD2 was a multiplayer game. The original CoD on PC that built the franchise did so largely because of it's rabid multiplayer fanbase. To expect anything more than a competent, short romp through some terrorists out of it's campaign when so much else is being offered is a little silly, to be honest.

Besides, all those screaming Xbox kids? Mute them. It's 1 button press for glorious silence.
