Not gonna watch it here, gonna wait for it to be up on Live.


And lol @ the huge attack thread.

Selnor, word of advice.

Next time you make a thread, don't put opinions in the title or OP. Leave them for a post somewhere in the thread.

You might not get as much abuse, and it might make your threads a happier place to be

Carl your very cool here. I can actually talk normally to you. I shouldn't have to worry about putting questions in the title or opinions in the op. Some people just come to VGC to attack and nothing else. Half the people in the thread havent even seen the ?. They were gonna troll anyway.

Hey well I wasn't the one doing any attacking. I was just merely pointing out Selnor said something that contradicts his previous post.
It didnt. I forget to say to you. Re-read what I wrote. It clearly is saying No Halo game, Has ever 'not' won GOTY.


Well, most of the time in your OP, you attack other games or competing partisans. So, what would you expect?

 

And as far as Halo is concerned, Halo 2, 3 and ODST sure didn't win the Game of the Year award fom the IAA, now did they. ^_-



it looks pretty good. one of the few games i would buy a 360 for, along with mass effect 2



One reason why I doubt Alan Wake's ability to win GOTY? Max Payne and Max Payne 2 aren't that good. They're solid games, but as soon as Max Payne 2 went all psychological bullshit on me I lost all interest in it.

That's not to say that Wake has no chance of being a great game, because I'm pretty sure it's going to be awesome, but even when I thought it was coming to PC I never once considered it a possible GOTY contender once it came out.


This year's GOTY's should be interesting to see. They'll probably be the second games in a franchise that takes the series in an awesome new direction or groundbreaking new IP's, as per usual. If Alan Wake succeeds at storytelling and pushes psychological thrillers in a unforeseen new direction, then it'll have a chance at GOTY, but because of Max Payne I have my doubts about the story.

I never said it was going to win GOTY, and um idk ask god of war which won game of the year in 2005, and ask God of war II which won PS2 game of the year in 2007.


Um Halo 2 won GOTY in 2005. GOW1 might have won PS2 game of the year in 2005. But Halo 2 won 84 GOTY awards. I have the Halo 3 legendary Edition. It said it on there.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know only 1 game could win GOTY

GOTY...Just like Metro 2033, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Halo: ODST, Forza 3, bla bla bla.

Selnor, please, please, all you need to do is being OBJECTIVE, when you've a year with games like

Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Alan Wake
Halo Reach
Gran Turismo 5
God Of War 3
Heavy Rain
Call Of Duty
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

there's NO WAY POSSIBLE that someone can tell which game will be GOTY, if you want to call ANY 360 Console Exclusive out there GOTY, fine, but please, PLEASE! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT IT! You just create FLAMEWARS FOR GODSAKE!


Please re-read OP. YOu look rather silly.

yes, i'm the that looks silly, when you've said this same thing for 4 different games in less than 5 months. that must be a record.

Selnor: Game of the Year 2005 according to IGN: http://bestof.ign.com/2005/overall/25.html

Spike Award for Game of the year 2005: Resident Evil 4

Metacritic's PS2 Game of the Year 2007: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/godofwar2


Yeah, I could continue on, but I think you've been owned more than enough already.

*sigh*

The guage for GOTY is IAA. Interactive Achievement Award. It is also the only award recognised by Wiki. Halo 2 had 84 GOTY nominations from outside media hence winning the title. as well as winning Excellence in Audio at the Game Developers Choice Awards. All 2005.

You just got owned mate. Highly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_2

Love the way you used review media or spike lol for GOTY. Little point. Games like Half Life 2 or Halo have IAA awards. Not media awards. Have you ever watched Spike. It's laughable. Heck they gave GTA4 GOTY. How bad was that event. Unbearable.

from wiki:

The game has won over a dozen "Game of the Year Awards".[17] In 2007, God of War was named the seventh best PlayStation 2 game of all time in IGN's feature reflecting on the PlayStation 2's long lifespan.[3]

That's my bad and I apologize and though I can't fully agree with you that Reach will win GOTY, I can say that Reach has big potential to win.
