Where's the fun in using the machine that can't be topped?

That and I don't remember the last time an expansion pack (or DL-only title) ever won a "Best Graphics" award - on any platform. What was surprising, however, was MGS4 beating out Gears of War 2 in 2008, on most sites. I thought Gears 2, overall, looked better, despite MGS4's better looking character models.

Maybe that's because PC isn't a single universal built in hardware but a term for any general-purpose computer? Not really a fair comparison

That had little to do with my point. Why wasn't it a fair comparison when MGS4 was compared to Crysis?

I was addressing the ''machine that can't be topped'' part

I left a smilie there for a reason. Wasn't meant to be taken seriously. And still, that doesn't answer my question - why didn't you address the poster who compared MGS4 with Crysis if you thought the comparison wasn't "fair"?

I didn't think that that wasn't fair. Machine that can't be topped- that's what i thought wasn't fair

It's the exact same principle. Oh well, I already explained my end, I'm not going over it again.

No i understood you. I just didn't address the poster because i didn't disagree

PS: And PC "not being able to be topped" is common knowledge, whether fair or not. It is what it is.

actually it wa topped by the neogeo for a few years so yeah... i agree with player 1x3

Um, so you agree with Player by saying it's not fair that PC always tops consoles because, somehow, the NeoGeo topped it? OK.

Now humor me (even though this discussion sailed right over you), how exactly was PC topped by NeoGeo?

Just addressing the point he already highlighted to you and that you tried to omit  : "I was addressing the ''machine that can't be topped'' part"

About the humor part you seem to be very sad person, my advice to you

a) check the neo geo games and compare it to pc games

b) as you probably already know the result of a) learn to be a more decent person and try not to play (that) dumb

c) just be happy and have a good life

Funny how review sites get shit on all year, but once a certain fan base starts getting game of of the year nods all is forgiven.

The internet in a nutshell? :P



UPDATED!


Minor adjustments might still happen but this seems to be nearly set in stone.

 

The top 5 GOTY of 2012:

2012:

1. The Walking Dead


2. Journey

3. Dishonored


4. Far Cry 3


5. Mass Effect 3

The Walking Dead secures the first spot followed by Journey followed by Dishonored which has a very close Far Cry 3 behind it and last is Mass Effect 3.

All of games are multiplatforms aside from Journey which gives the PS3 a total point of 20 in terms of exclusives in positions yearly.

 

 

Best graphics of 2012:

2012:
Journey

Journey becomes the only game to actually get the most graphical praise of its year, overcoming the heavy Halo 4 due to its artistic nature.

Never before has a game actually gotten that much attention for its graphics due to its art and not primarily its technical achievement.

 

 

This year also saw downloadable titles overcoming retail games in terms of overall GOTY awards. Trends are indeed changing.

 

You can find the source and all the awards given by going to the website that is listed in the OP.

See you next year!



Cool.... Journey did a great jog.

I think that will set a trend in next years... more innovative games than the same CoD every year (well... CoD is funny too).



Walking Dead sold more on 360 then PS3. Like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption before it, GOTYs tend to sell better on 360.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
