I guess it might confuse people who mistook the awards for anything but a popularity contest?

Look, you really don't want to get me started on this, because I actually do think that Kratos is an interesting and multifaceted character. I wouldn't pick him over ... actually no I would pick him. It's religious. :vadam_grif wrote:Yeah, the real winner should have been Kratos. He's just such an interesting and multifacited character.

Kratos is hands-down more interesting than Mason, because he actually does things. But CoD is the bigger franchise, so it wins.
Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
I actualyl sat throught he entire VGA show...god it was awful. the only presenter worth a flip was NPH. Denise Richardson was...oh, god...just...what? And there was a really bizarre backstage "interview" where the guy who plays the thing demonstrated his "Strength" by lifting the interviewer straight up into the air....and she was wearing a miniskirt so...yeah...then they laughed. GOTY Red Dead...I can get behind that. I think ME2 was a better game with a better story but Red Dead was really really good.
Best performance by a human male, though...NPH in Spiderman: SD? Really?! REALLY?! He was up against ROB WEITHOFF (John Marston) and somehow NPH got picked? That is just...WHAT?! REALLY?!

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
The VGA's have been and always will be a ridiculous nerd appeasement farce. It's hilarious to watch them try soooo hard to be a "cool" award show.
Best care anywhere.
Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
They're a pathetic attempt at Nerd appeasement. Every discussion I've seen of it was "OH MY GOD THAT SHIT WAS SO TERRIBLE." You should have seen the thread on NeoGAF. It was like getting a live MST3k riff on the event, but I had to hit F5 every now and again.

A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'
'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
The enemies were boring to fight and the only way they posed a serious threat is if they ganged up on you. Combat was ridiculously simple and there were far far too many fetch quests. I played up until the assault on some fort with a minigun and returned it. Oh, and far too much of your time is just spent walking everywhere.Chardok wrote:General Zod wrote:Chardok wrote:RDR bored me to tears, the only reason I'll accept it got GOTY is because Rockstar bribed the judges.

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
Sorry I'm actually willing to give this some credit, at least for GOTY.
Wouldn't the more popular game be Black Ops? What would you guys have picked?

Why? What's the relevance of a bunch of people you don't know or care about declaring a crappy game 'game of the year'? Does that shape your opinions?

Almost none of the games I'd have picked would have even gotten nominated, so I don't really see the point.Whiplash wrote:Sorry I'm actually willing to give this some credit, at least for GOTY.

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
Actually, i'm interested in what games you would pick, zod. I'm assuming its sort of based on whatever vague genres they've decided to use but whatevs i don't care how they did it
so without further ado i'll turn this thread into another "my favourite games (2010 edition)"
FPS: Bad Company 2 edit tie with metro
Strategy: Men of War -no thats from last year, World in Confl-no thats two years ago. um, dunno.
RPG: Alpha Protocol, if anything counts
Action-y shit: Asscred II, because i game on PC and can't have assbros yet or maybe that batman game i dunno
theres only like four genres in gaming, right?
oh wait: Eastern European STALKER like game: STALKER, Metro cuz it needed the two mentions

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
I'm just curious (not attacking anyone) because in a lot of thread about the mainstream AAA titles some of you end up bashing the crap out of them. Given how some of these threads tend to go, I'm shocked half of you even tried Halo: Reach or Black Ops. So I mean, what are these quality titles some of you are talking about.
Stark liked Metro 2033 and Alpha Protocol and that's all that comes to mind.

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
I would vote for those games. I don't know what I'd pick in 'action' that came out last year.
FPS: Metro
RPG: Alpha Protocol
Strategy: uh... RUSE? LOL
Action: uh... Onichanbara? No, that's old.

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
Just for stuff that's been released in 2010: Yakuza 3, Alpha Protocol, Ace Attorney Investigations, Ass Bros, Persona 3 Portable and Chaos Rising.
I kind of want to put down Metro 2033 but I haven't really played enough of it because it doesn't like my laptop. So I can't really say anything about it until I can get a copy from Blockbuster.

Re: Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.
I should have given that game more credit when I played it. I knew it was 3rd person, but when I found out that there were no court battles I was like what the hell man. I guess it was in the title, but I never read anything in the previews that said 'no court battles', I didn't think I'd solve everything during the investigation. Anyway, I did like that all the cases were actually related to each other, that way you could see all sides of it, which was something that only Trials and Tribulations attempted. I should play it again.General Zod wrote:J Ace Attorney Investigations

*sigh* who picked that Wii list. Not saying that the games were bad (outside of Metroid), but its like they just grabbed whatever.
