Well it was obvious from the start MGS4 would win when they took away all the real competition for a bunch of absurd nominees like NMH and BP.Vaasman
Does it really matter which other 9 great games they picked ? The result would have been the same. Would the list be more impressive if LBP and Valkyria Chronicles was in there instead of those 2 ? Or Patapon and Dead Space? Or Persona 4 and Sins of a Solar Empire ? Or Gear2 or Fable 2 ?

really nothing, it just takes a lot of adjustment if your are used to playing just about any other game online. lol once i started playing it like socom, i found it very satisfying, and the addition of CQC is just awesome.

Can I ask how they pick the GOTY? Is it just one of the reviewers or do they get the opinions of everyone working at GS? I don't really know much about the process so I was just wondering if someone could clarify.

Yes. It would have been nice if games that deserved it like the ones you listed had at least had a fighting chance, even though nothing could really escape gamespots huge MGS4 man-love.

Better looking on the outside =/= Better technical achievement I do think Crysis is better though. But we don't know as we aren't programmers...

But that isn't what technical means. It means it pushes the hardware to the limits. A DS could win that award, and it has before.

I can't believe the travesty, this game isn't even worth buying. How can such utterly crappy game win GOTY.

Man you cows have some really low standards. I got a PS3 and nothing Ive tried so far seems great. Pretty sad. Alteast I got it for 250 bucks.

MGS4 is the worse game I ever played. It plays like a '90 game. But after first hand experience I can saftely say that the PS3 games suck.

But I guess you kiddies can have fun with them

What I find funny is that some people are still complaining about MGS4 winning the Technical Achievement award. They ignore that even if MGS4 isn't the most technically impressive game of 2008, it clearly is the best.

Ok... Did these programmers you "ran into" on GS work on MGS4 or Crysis :P. Who knows though :lol:. I'm not saying MGS4 is better technically. I even think Crysis is. It's just that it's quite hard for us to tell. The PC is a *limitless* platform. In the end it wouldn't be too far fetched if MGS4 is actually more of a technical achievement on the PS3's *limited* hardware.

I remember Lemmings all over IGN's nuts when they called Gears 2 more technically impressive than Crysis Warhead. It was for the very reason MGS4 was chosen. Outstanding achievement on limited hardware.

imo the problem with mgs4 winning: its not really that impressive of an achievement if you have to do an installation every chapter :|

Don't you have to install Crysis Warhead :?. So that point is moot.
