Since nobody is actually answering this question I will. This year was huge in games.
Gears of War 3
Portal 2
Skyrim
Batman ArkhamCity
Battlefield 3
Modern Warfare 3
Uncharted 3
Mortal Kombat
Rage
Dead Island
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
Forza 4
And the list goes on and on. I love LBP but it does not deserve game of the year. Let's see, its a sequel so it lost it's originality and more of the same. Storyline, barely.
All the Games that got nominated were very well deserved. Gears 3 is the only one that people were baffled about. On Machinima Gears 3 won 3 awards and 1 being GoTY. |
dont want to start any fanboy war or list wars... but Machinima are hardly objective non biased company. they are hige xbox fanboys.
most of them hardly even know what a playstation is. heck when the last time you saw them do videos of a ps3 game? heck, just watch the video they did of the Uncharted 3 summer beta. none of them knew how to play, new the buttons or anything. in one scene the guy tries to use a zipline, and the on screen prompt says to press "X" and all you see is Nathan drake meleeing over and over again. and the guy gives up trying to use the zipline. it because the guy was pressing the mellee button which is Square, which is the same location as "X" on xbox. also none of the guys knew how to reload, they kept pressing mellee, and not once figured it out.
none of them use a ps3, or at the very least use it with any frequency.
they dont care about ps3, or play the ps3.

My point is that Gears is an amazing game and I don't care if you like 360 or not you can still see that. One of the best stories of this gen a long with a great multiplayer. And if you haven't noticed it is also the best rated shooter of the year. Beat out both Battlefield and Call of duty.
|
If you don't count Uncharted 3, that is.
|
I was talking about 360. And Gears has better shooting elements than Uncharted easily. I love Uncharted but that is because the story, not the shooting.
|
thats very much opinion. one that I whole heartedly disagree with. for me Uncharted by has the best third person shooting elements out of any game.
|
Agreed. Uncharted does get a slightly bad rep when it comes to shooting mechanics. A lot of people think of the cinematic experiences & platforming as the highlights of the series and oftentimes declare the shooting as mediocre. I personally believe Uncharted has the best shooting mechanics of any third-person game, and I don't see how anyone could declare it mediocre. It just handles so smooth & responsive, even when compared to Gears. It's espescially impossible to delcare one (Uncharted or Gears) as 'easily' superior since they're clearly offering differing experiences. I really don't think Uncharted's shooting could be declared mediocre by any objective measure. Note: this isn't completely in a reply to Jay, I just felt like saying this.
OT: I'm not the one to get upset over my favorite games not receiving a certain award or score, but this is pretty odd. LittleBigPlanet 2 is an excellent game, it's an unanimous improvement over the 2008 winner, and was met with critical acclaim pretty much everywhere. It's kind of shocking that the game has received NO nominations (not wins, but nominations) from ANY websites. Just based on the sheer number of nominations created, it should have received a few nominations. But I guess that's what happens when you release in January and have so many breathtaking games released in the next 11 months.
