Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-91iDhZmLbc

At 1:00 for UC2 -> "Over 200 Game of the Year awards"

Obviously that's other awards included also... If I am wrong please do tell me because OVER 200 GOTY awards as in Overall.. that's ..c r a z y!?


It is not a GotY award unless it won the Game of the Year award. Yes, overall. I thought the name of the award would make that clear. I actually can kinda believe UC2 getting over 200 GotY awards, it was THE game that year. I really can't remember anything else that came out the same year, but yeah. You might now be thinking "but Metacritic only has 105 reviews for the game, how can it have so many awards?" Well Billy, you see, Metacritic does really not count reviews that are not in English, however, which is fair. However, those sites and magasines from the various countries of the world do also pick Game of the Year, which you really cannot argue with, it's either "in or out".

Besides, when you are trying to advertise your game, you just write down all of the GotY awards, no matter where they are from, so a lot of the less "credible" sites (according to Metacritic) could easily be used in your arguement. Nobody will double check either way. *nod*



Thing is though bro: in the same video it says: 39 perfect scores. Same as meta! Surely those 200 have praised it with a perfect score if it was the shit. On the internet i can find max 45-60 goty awards (magazines included). I have a feeling theyre using awards in general because they bothered to somehow found 3x the amount of goty overall but not 1 from reviews? Wiki has uc2 at about 105 awards won. Im sure theres 2x that once taking ALL awards into consideration. Its my way of interpreting it and thats why I made this topic. I respect your view but I don't see it the way you do.

just as very short example, goty you don't know (i believe)

but yeah, those aren't on meta as well but it's no problem to find 200 goty on the whole planet if you want.
