and the GameSpot 2008 Game of the Year is...(no 56k)

So you think a game that got AA/AAA everywhere is more acclaimed than a game that got a universal AAAA? Just admit MGS4>GOW2, but then again. denial is always the first step to acceptance.

Gears of War 2 is more critically acclaimed than Metal Gear Solid 4. Face it. I'm not telling you that it's a better game, because I think MGS4 is. Oh, and GTA IV trumps MGS4, in my opinion. Definitely.

Bottom line is, GS gave MGS4 the GOTY and don't try to take that away from cows, and if you haven't noticed from my sig, I own a 360 and actually think it's better for gaming than the PS3, so don't use bias as a weapon against me.

Well deserved. It is a fantastic game. Thanks and congrats to Kojima Productions.

wha?

wouldnt a game that has a higher average be more acclaimed than one that has a lower average? :|

Perhaps he doesn't even know what it means to be critically acclamied. Maybe he thinks that if you receive a great score on GameSpot, you're critically acclaimed? :lol:

I know it. I just wrote and I don't think it deserves it.

Oh, and I can't see signatures on GameSpot. Don't know why.

heh. in all fairness, he did realize his mistake and corrected himself

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"][QUOTE="knight-k"] MGS4> any 360 exclusive LOL Lem haters have been owned !knight-k

I guess it's a good thing I never called a 360 game a "GOTY" for '08, eh? :roll:

The truth is MGS4=10 and is GOTY.

Stop living in denial.

It is really great to see it own GTA IV and BioShockOwnz. Oh how sweet it is. :P

Nike_Air

Yea Bio was going around calling GTA4 GOTY a bit too soon:lol:

I'm glad It got it. Well deserved IMO.

I really want to play it now.:P

Gamerankings is the ultimate site, if you haven't noticed.

Oh, and yes, I'm sure N4G includes Sony sites, as well.

[QUOTE="GabeNewellsPie"]

And GS's credibility takes another hit.Giving GOTY to a melodramamatic movie.

GeoW2 or GTA4 are more deserving winners.

Sorry not gears 2. WIth its meh story and messy online. It is fun when it works though.

And so what if N4G counts Sony sites? They also count Microsoft sites. They count everything, which in my opinion makes them the most credible source.

[QUOTE="Games4thewin"][QUOTE="metalgear-solid"]No, it's not. Like Metacritic says, MGS4 94% and Gears 2 93%. Or even more accurate is N4G considering they have the most reviews (more reviews = more accurate), MGS4 at 95% and Gears 2 at 92%.Giancar

No, no. Absolutely not. The only good thing about MetaCritic is that they get their reviews very fast and that there is a summary from the reviews.

They count sites that aren't credible, too. N4G sucks. Gamerankings is standard.

it beats Crysis technically on graphics... themyth01

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="metalgear-solid"]Like every other gaming site? :rolleyes:knight-k

Then they all must lack common sense or something. It's pretty obvious to anyone that knows how to properly think that Crysis Warhead has far superior "technical graphics". I guess the current state of video game journalism is on its way down the tubes.

Perhaps people don't remember that this year's GOTY scored a 10! MGS > any 360 AND PC games.

Well deserved, especially over GTAIV.rockguy92

Perhaps you don't remember that GTA IV on Xbox 360 also got a 10.

And considering the fact that MGS4 has an average score of 9.25/10 and GTA IV 9.7/10, I guess more people agreed with GTA's score than MGS4's score on GameSpot.

[QUOTE="knight-k"][QUOTE="GabeNewellsPie"]

While story might not be GeoW's strongpoint,I think the MGS saga is badly overated and I just can't understand how cows mess their shorts over it.The script and acting in MGS4 are laughably bad at times,yet you'd think it was a work of writing genius the way the fanboys describe it.

GabeNewellsPie

Indeed.You make a great point.

/sarcasm

may not be a great point, but it's the truth.

I was going to celebrate by playing it later tonight but then I realize it would be no fun because I already did the majority of things you needed to do and seen everything already. It's only fun when someone who never played the game is watching you play or you're watching someone play for the first time.

It's just amazing how MGS4 won every category it was nominated for. I wish it was more spread out but that's probably what the Reader's Choice is there for. I still have a feeling MGS4 will be a big winner in the Reader's Choice also.

GR isn't the standard. Their choice of so called "credible" reviews is laughable at best. metalgear-solid

The Big Boss Abides:

While I agree that MGS4 is easily the game of the year, why is it that the MP is never mentioned when talking about it's greatness? The single player was unforgettable, but the multiplayer was equally forgettable. It seems as if that 10 was given because of the single player alone. :|DisPimpin

Hey Reversecycology why were you banned? Your posts were always borderlined fanboyish like the post above...but I don't think any one can get banned for things like that, right?
