Uncharted 2 was never GOTY anyway. Only got that because it was a PS3 exclusive and the media is extremely Sony biased.

 

No, you're right, over 100 gaming media sources that gave it GOTY must all be fucking wrong.

Fight on console warrior!

they was all given money bags lol!! /jk, Sony's pockets are not that deep!!, I remeber voting for the 2009 GOTY, it was handled fairly only gamers got to vote on it, so basiclly it was the gamer's choice, it had nothing to do with the media. (not on here anyway lol)



it's the future of handheld

Once again ND is putting a knife into its own game with multiplayer updates no one wanted.  There was the disconnection penalty they patched post release that keeps punishing people who do not disconnect from a game or punishing people because the game starting often fails, reducing rank and removing things they spend time unlocking.  Then the syncing error that prevented people from playing online AT ALL, took months to fix and as a reward those people had to lose all ther progress and start from scratch.  Then after second last patch the game was at random just resetting people stats/ranks/unlocks completely with no way to regain them.

 

...and now even though a majority of the community (61%) voted against it they have tweaked weapon damage and turned the game into a twitch shooter camp-fest.

 

Can read the community response here, kind of one-sided with the dislike of the update (that they voted against).

 

Still GOTY after they keep creating problems and worsening the multiplayer?

Actually this explains their reasoning quite well for their health changes

It won GOTY for the single player. Multiplayer is just a bonus.

It was never my GOTY anyways (mine would be RE5 or Batman:AA), and this is a SP game anyways. The SP campaign is legitimate GOTY material though, so. . . no. But sucks to hear about the messed up MP, I know it took me about 5 minutes to get into matchmaking last time I tried.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

These changes are not truly consequential on this particular game because its stellar reputation is predominantly (it not totally) the result of its single-player experience.

But it does point out another issue related to games that rely heavily to (almost) exclusively on the on-line multiplayer experience for their reputations -- that same on-line multiplayer that seems to be most craved by video game reviewers (and most penalized in the reviews of games where it does not exist).

Minor (or major) tweeks can completely change the game-play experience, even to the point where it is no longer enjoyable by large segments of the game-buying/playing population. In other words, the conditions are set buy the developer (and server operator -- such as EA) and the "buyer" has more limited ownership rights than in previous gaming generations.

Other signs of this are the shutdown of game servers (e.g., EA) and the requirement of a pay-to-play fee (included with the new game purchase but addition for a used game purchase).

If anybody cared about the multiplayer, you'd be right.

It would have gotten 90% of those GoTY awards with no multiplayer at all.
