Is it even fair to vote before all the games are out?
I don't want to vote and then a better game comes out between now and the end of the year >_<

otherwise only good shit i've played this year has been saint's row and bionic commando

left 4 dead
probably, based on the demo it will get replayed the most out of sheer awesome
i think prole is having more fun making up the titles than actually voting
Absolutely not Fallout 3.
Absolutely not Fallout 3.
why not?
Absolutely not Fallout 3.
why not?
Because it's a shit game.
Fuck you, GTAIV is the best game of the year.
I ain't voting.

a thread about good games and i see ikkinikkipussy-san beatemup listed
smh
Fallout 3 by a cunt-ry mile
I wore Abe Lincoln's hat and used his rifle to hunt flesh-eating ghouls in the irradiated subway system of our nation's capitol
I had to talk a powdered-wig-wearing robot out of killing me because he thought I was a redcoat spy trying to steal the US constitution, and ended up getting him to make me a counterfeit version - then I stole his spare wig
I watched a giant scorpion kill a trader and then rifled through his pockets for free bottlecaps and weapon schematics
I built mines out of lunchboxes and cherry bombs
I contemplated eating the flesh of dead humans to regain lost health, because I leave so many of them in my wake and it seems like a waste to just leave all that nourishment laying around
Just go ahead and firmly press the gun barrel against the roof of your mouth if that doesn't get your game dick hard, because it's obvious you have no capacity for entertainment and your life is wretched misery
i am shamed. i will ban myself.
so ok, that Eel post got me interested as I never thought about buying FO3 after my bitter experience with Oblivion.
The problem is that my roomie's launch 360 RROD'd two months ago and now I only have access to a PS3. is that version worth getting? is there going to be a patch to fix the crashes at least?
then your girlfriend was like, god i want to fuck him so bad

The only REALLY evil thing I did in the game was shove a live grenade in a traitor's pocket and walked off. She went boom. lol
Uh-BUH? If I pimped anything this year, it was KOF '98 Ultimate Match. But then why am I taking this seriously? :lol
+1 Saint's Row 2
i am a paragon of virtue this first run, i help people and go out of my way to kill every raider/slaver/enclave soldier i see
i couldn't bring myself to set the ghouls on the assholes at tenpenny tower, though, because i liked that old adventurer dude
my second character, however, will be the vilest female to ever infect the wasteland
:saudicry
that;s 200 fucking dollars, less than 1 week's pay in a minimum wage job. no prob.
last time i sent my 360 in i had to wait 5+ weeks. never again.
I'm a poor student who can't afford buying an arcade (priced at $350-400 in this stupid part of the world) every time my unit RROD's. :saudicry for real :'(
So how many times can you all buy a game where your main objective is to shoot shit over and over.It's ironic you say that considering Animal Crossing is the exact same game for the 3rd time in a row.
And the year isnt over! Animal Crossing is <3 C^_^C

mirror's edge not getting enough love. eb old and out of touch? seems so.maybe not everyone bought it day one? blame drinky for making the thread so early and EBers for not being able to wait
ME looks cool but I'm not paying 60 bucks for a 5 hour game.
mirror's edge not getting enough love. eb old and out of touch? seems so.
has anyone tried it yet? reviews seems a bit polarized.
I honestly can't remember what games I played this year, outside of Alone in the Dark giving me AIDS. :'(
Mirror's Edge, bitches!
I honestly didn't expect Gears of War 2 to get so many votes on this board...
I demand a recount!Mirror's Edge, bitches!

Gears of War 2 just came out when this thread was originally made, so it's mostly people voting because they have a high on the game.
name a good racing game besides grid that came out this year
updated
lol @ swaggaz
also pure isn't a racing game
i already voted for MGS4 :punch
being able to choose your own list of obscure pretentious games :bow2
choosing from a preset list of games :piss2
This is pretty early...
I have played exactly 0 games on that list. Unless 2 demos count.

ssbb a) isn't a good game; and b) isn't on a credible game console

this poll is amazing, way better than letting everyone list their top tens and winding up with essentially the same results after tedious tabulation.
also, the disqualifiers are equally brilliant :heartbeat
i feel filthy for even having voted in this poll
I don't think most people finished Mirror's Edge. That's the only explanation that makes sense.
GTA4>>>SR2. sorry, that's how it is.I don't think most people finished Mirror's Edge. That's the only explanation that makes sense.
Got all 1000, sorry not GOTY. You lose!

No it isn't! The choice I selected was altered and implies I like to fuck pale old men. That is not true at all.
this is a thread about and i quote "the dopest shiznizzle"
what do you not understand here
nowhere, i just added your vote to DMC4
why would you be surprised? MGS4 is the best game of the year.
Haven't finished Fallout 3 yet but it's got to be GOTY. I can't think of something that's consistently better.
Please. Once a few people starting peaking their heads out to say MGS4 wasn't good everyone else jumped on the bandwagon. The only other game this year that approaches it's quality is Burnout Paradise.

How do you even rate a game that is as un-interactive as the MGS games? Combine that with a trainwreck of a story and you probably don't get a lot of people saying it's goty. imo.

the thing is that even though you can read internet posts and think you know how the games are, you really are basing that stuff on hyperbole. MGS4 (or even MGS series in general) has people saying the cut scenes are so long, and yeah, they are -- but the actually parts when your playing the game are longer than most games released in the past few years.

If I found the story interesting, maybe then I wouldn't think that the game is unplayable. Nobody can deny how bad the writing is.

Get these MGS apologists out of my reality.
I'd imagine that most of the people who voted for it as goty probably liked or even loved the story though.

i'm a massive Wipeout HD cigarillo and the game IS good, but it does eventually boil down to a massive cock tease.
Quotebut the actually parts when your playing the game are longer than most games released in the past few years.
i finished the game in like 11 hours. subtract the cutscene time from that and i finished the game 4 hours before i ever inserted the disk into the PS3 drive.
QuoteThat's what I mean when I say people over exaggerate and others misinterpret.
of that 11 hours, i seriously doubt it was over 7 hours of game play though.
Which is about par for the course for a lot of next gen games, but certainly definitely NOT longer than most. Not by a long shot.
Fallout 3 rocked.
:bow Posters who don't have to pretend they like shitty games b/c it's all they got :bow2
:piss Kestastrophe's "Empirical Evidence" :piss2
PS3 owners had more exclusives to choose from. Plus, 3 of the 4 exclusives were release within weeks of each other thus watering down the whole picture. Legs are important in these tight times. Let's raise this argument a couple months from now.
lol nah
it really is GOTY.
- The substandard shooting mechanics?
- The excessive loading between areas/installation?
- The gigantic amount of cutscenes, especially bookending acts?
- The ridiculous story?
- Act 3?
- The terrible boss battles (especially the psychobabble afterwards)?
- The 90-minute ending?
- The horrible pacing?
- Respawning enemies?

1.) This is not a fact. The shooting is not factually substandard it is IN YOUR OPINION substandard. I don't agree with this opinion. In addition I play MGS as a stealth game. Shooting only occurred during boss battles and when I needed to tranq enemies.
2.) This is not even a factor at all. Wow a game has loading. Big deal.
3.) I'm a MGS fan. To bring up cutscenes and try to relate them as negatives to me doesn't work. They a large reason why I enjoy these games as much as I do.
Looks like MGS4 won the GOTY thread over at the other forum.This is like the first year GAF didn't vote for a Nintendo game it seems like. Mario won last year and Zelda before that. Weird that Sony fanboys seemed to have taken over GAF. That whole topic is full of posts of people listing like ONLY 10 PS3 games and thats it.
Persona 4. PS2 still best ever console confirmed.
I wish I have another account here so I could vote for mgs4 twice, best game ever! haters be damned.Keep it up :supergay

4.) I do not claim that the story is OMG SO FUCKING AMAZING OSCAR WORTHY FUCK YEAH, but I love watching it unfold. I've been there since the beginning, and even though I don't agree with all the storytelling decisions I love watching it.
5.) The only low point about Act 3 is the "follow the frenchie" section. The cutscene, the chase, the boss battle, and the final cutscene were awesome. No point in arguing with me here. I liked it.
And every game has low points. The entire first two chapters of Gears of War 2 were kind of boring, but the game ramps up later on. Regardless of the boring first two sections Gears 2 is in my top ten.
6.) Thanks for your opinion on the boss battles. I don't agree. Especially on Crying Wolf, which is the best boss battle in the game.
7.) See point 4.
8.) Pacing was fine to me.
9.) Where? When?
QuoteTHIS IS A FACT!!!!!
near as damn it, yes! :D
in the whole opinions game, how are MGS4 lovers any more justified?
ANYWAYS, again - it's NOWHERE NEAR being EB's game of the year, so this is just shittying up a Fallout 3 felating thread.
so let's leave it.
I try not to ever argue my opinion for an extended period of time. You think MGS4 Acts 3-5 are no good, I disagree. Three or four posts on the subject (definitely have already filled my alloted quota on MGS4) and then nonchalant repartee!
But sometimes I go back and read old threads and I'm like, "Wow, was I really that big of a dick over this?" or, "Yikes, I can't believe I phrased that in this way," or, "Wow, I'm a tard." I do that sometimes with old threads.
People are going to read this thread and feel that later. Don't see how you can include "THIS IS A FACT!!!!!" in any post and escape wahjah syndrome :'(
(For the record I like fallout 3 a lot)
hey, i wasn't the one saying anything is a fact!
... well, not in those words anyways! ;)
i'm just saying - most people handled MGS4 in a level headed way when it was discussed.
I don't think anyone was overly hateful and all criticisms were backed up with reason, and anything from that point onwards is now played mainly for comedy lols.
I think if you are looking back at EB posts and thinking "was i that big of a dick?" then you just need to lighten up and go with the flow.
you have to be a REAL DICK consistantly to offend anyone, i'd think and you are far from that.
(I wasn't talking about you btw, I don't think I've ever seen you engage in list wars :lol) I think your posts are always good for a laugh even when I disagree. I've never seen the word "mong" used so creatively and in as many different parts of speech.

Gears 2, Fable 2, Banjo, and other 360 exclusives were also released within a few weeks of one another. And let's get factual here. The PS3 had 17 exclusives in 2008, including three versions of Singstar. The 360 had 21 exclusives (30 if you count console exclusive). Sfag misinformation is out of control.
It doesn't matter if we have this argument today or in 50 years. MGS4 is still a mediocre game and has no place in "anything" of the year contention unless the award is for "Biggest Budget."

I was basing my point off that chart, not the whole year. G2, F2, and Banjo were also released in the same time period I'm referring to making choices even tougher for those who own both consoles and don't have $600 to plunk down on games for a month. G2, F2, and Banjo should have excellent legs as well.
I didn't say shit about MGS4 and your view on it is PURELY opinion, which you are entitled to.
Mirror's Edge is a fast paced platformer, and Dead Space is a plodding shooter. Both are good games, but Mirror's Edge feels short, while Dead Space drags like a bitch in the middle. Did you try the Mirror's Edge time trials?
No I didn't have the code, but when I played the demo all I could think about was how awesome time trials must be. It just fits the whole concept of the game.
it's still difficult in an annoying wayI thought it was pathetically easy once you unlock the bikes. :tauntaun
Every race is basically a time trial, even the ones they claim are races against other cars. You basically can't fuck up or else you'll lose. The AI is so shitty that you can push them into a wall, get them to crash up, his nitrous on a straight with little to no traffic, and they will appear right behind you within seconds. And the civilian driver AI is terrible and they will drive into your car since they won't deviate from their planned course.
