shit list

don't know beer, don't know games.

I think the list is alright, except for GTA4 obviously.

IGN Australia and UK are far more level-headed than IGN US who swing wildly between tantrum throwing and teenage gushing. So it's a little disappointing to see GTA4 at the top.

Nice to see Dead Space and Mirror's Edge getting recognition.

Bildi · « **Reply #4 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:36:43 AM »

I just realised, no Wii games.

Biggest was Smash Bros

it's bad enough that mirrors edge and resistance 2 are on their list but then they go and top it off with gta4

GTA IV was barely game of the month.

came out the same time as wii fit and mario kart

decent list besides GTAIV. probably paid for by Take 2

Outside of GTA4, Australia did pretty good. Not a Wii Play to be seen.

Braid and LBP but no Saints 2?

Can you really do that knowing the Wii clusterfuck the north american on will be?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:19:50 AM »

Is that actually going to happen? Do people actually like Wii games? There are a few good games for the thing but they all came out last year

Galaxy was fun but it was the first 3d platformer I had played since Crash 3 on PS1

3d Platformers

Excite Truck was really, really good. Prob the best launch title evar

Metroid Prime 3 was a more of the same with decent waggle, so solid

No More Heroes was good as I am a huge Suda fanboy

ummmmmmm

Kororinpa is actually pretty awesome too

littlemathletics · « **Reply #16 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:26:00 AM »

How does Fallout 3 "lack the gameplay muscle" in comparison to GTA IV, exactly?

Fallout 3 = fun

GTA IV = snoozefest

This list is complete balls.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #17 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:31:21 AM »

its just got more GAMEPLAY MUSCLE

you know, the muscle in the gameplay

fuck I hate these big review sites. I read evilbore for all my game impressions

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2008, 08:08:28 AM »

GTA4 was also Wired's #1 Multiplatform title of the year. I predict its OSCAR WINNING story will make it GOTY. Which is fucking bullshit. That belongs to Fallout 3.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #19 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:02:07 AM »

Yeah, I quit like ten hours in.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #20 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:09:33 AM »

gta iv was such a poorly executed game on so many different levels

indestructible vehicles during missions, no checkpoints, dating sims, busted controls (bububu he leans when he turns), awful "satire"

in my short time playing i never had one minute of fun, it was a constant exercise in frustration

fallout 3 was fun from moment one, and there was always something creepy or hilarious - and, yes, even touching - around every corner

i got 97 hours out of my first run, was never bored, and still didn't see everything there was to see

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #21 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:14:22 AM »

is this a console-specific list?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #22 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:15:09 AM »

I tried so, so hard to like Grand Theft Auto IV. I even enjoyed the scale of it all initially. But the game was so frustrating. Who really, truly found it fun? Anyone?

I cannot understand that months after its release, the mainstream press will pick it as their unanimous Game of the Year. Does a committee pick these awards in advance after moneyhats?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:17:33 AM »

i think i lasted four hours total, not counting restarts on missions, before i threw my hands up

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #24 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:18:15 AM »

I probably played four to five hours of the game and ATTEMPTED to play five hours of multiplayer when it was working.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #25 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:19:43 AM »

i'll admit i didn't give multiplayer much of a chance, there just didn't seem like there was a whole lot to it

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #26 on:** December 08, 2008, 09:19:47 AM »

We had a bunch of good game and a couple of great games this year too. It's not like it was a vacuum of quality. Industry really kicked it into high gear the last three months.

I am beginning to hate Rockstar. Like the passionate hate for a company like Wal-Mart.

I like how there's no Lich King on the list.

You can't spell ignorant without IGN.

This is a list of top "games", not "top pretty looking chat clients masquerading as games". MMOs need not apply!

There's more gameplay in Lich King then in Fallout 3. It aslo trumps it in meaningfull level progression and a much deeper and satisfying combat system.

For all the fun people make of MMO's they have some of the best combat ever, when it clicks it isn't like any shitty Single Player RPG. True syngery. Ffs.

I'll be playing WoW again starting this Sunday when I move to my new place.

You said all that, but all I see is

GTAIV is the best game of the year.

But the list is unarguably shit.

Mirrors Edge, Resistance 2, Left4Dead lol lol lol lol

Resistance 2 at 10 and no Gears 2 is a fucking joke.

The difference in quality between Resistance 2 and Gears 2 is embarrassing. Insomniac should be ashamed of themselves.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #35 on:** December 08, 2008, 11:36:16 AM »

I haven't played Resistance 2 or Gears 2 yet, but I'm inclined to believe that I will probably enjoy Resistance 2 better.

Although both are probably six hours and take place in mostly gray environments.

So far, my GOTY is a tie between Fallout 3 and MGS4. Fallout is that fucking good. I can't believe how awesome the game turned out to be. MUCH better than Oblivion, and definitely a graphical improvement as well.

Haven't played Resistance, but there are many more colors and the campaign is much better in Gears 2 vs Gears 1. Not perfect by any means, but the game is very clean and polished.

Well, i would say forums on the internet at large.

But when you have people on the internet bashing GTAIV and then sucking MGS4's balls, you know you can't take forum opinion like a representation of truth in many cases.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #46 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:48:00 PM »

People love the game because it's a GTA sandbox game. They like driving cars around and shooting people. That's only part of the game, though. The actual storymode is fairly dull. There's only like... one interesting mission to be had, and the characters sucked.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #47 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:48:38 PM »

Ambience, voice acting, gameplay, immersion. It's just a fun game. People love it. Just because you can't have fun with a mainstream game doesn't mean you have to hate it.

SMH I hate Video Game Hipsters.

"Oh the game doesn't let me do redneck side missions, and it's not super duper over the top, and i can't like throw myself from an airplane, the game is bad!!!!!"

smh

The game plays better than any other game of its kind.

The driving is superior.

Shooting is superior.

The cover mechanic works.

Car chases aren't super crap like in saints row.

The game tells a cool story with cool characters.

Amazing production values.

The game's physics allow for some pretty impressive moments during gameplay, like chase sequences, shooting sequences.

The game is fun.

Offers a ton of content in one dvd.

The multiplayer is fun.

The game renders the best sandbox city, the best looking graphics in a sandbox, the most alive city in a sandbox, the most immersive and involving experience in a sandbox game.

What more do you want? Stupidity? Go play the John Cena GTA, you want super powers? Go collect some orbs in Crackdown.
