Fun retarded quote from the comments on IGN:

- "Everyone's Mario biased so we knew who would take home GOTY, whatever."

If it's a viewpoint that everyone has, it's not really biased, is it?


Actually, that would still be bias. If everyone on the planet says that 1 + 1 = 5, that doesn't make it true.

if they did, then it would make all mathematical equations revolving around 1 and 5 to follow that pattern, which would mean 5 would pretty much be what we know of as 2, or 1 would be what we know of as 2.5.. so yes, everyone thinking that would lead to it being true

@super_etecoon: no clue, was just joking

 

Well, since we're being pedantic and moronic, I guess I have to reword what I said.

If our counting sequence and number system remained constant and everyone on the planet said 1+1=5, that would not make it true.


While I completely understand what you're trying to say, our counting sequence and number system is entirely based on what we view it to be. If we don't remain constant nothing around us will. Definitions of anything (words or numbers) will only mean what the mass wants it to mean. If everyone on the planet decides 1+1=5, then it is true 1+1=5.

The only reason it's not true right now, is because not everyone on the planet says it's true.  So, how can our counting sequence and number system remain constant when everyone on the planet changes?  And why do you need to try to belittle someone who is justly pointing out a flaw in your statement?

 Your mistake is comparing a subjective value (good game) to an objective value (mathematics).

Actually you'll find that mathematics is equally subjective and based only on the set of rules that we give it. The ironic bit is that if everyone on the planet says 1 + 1 = 5 then that does make it true. =D



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

nice that mario got it. as x360 owner, i would still be very content with the games in 2007. i mean 4 out of 5 of the best games of 2007 are on the 360. thats quite impressive.

An over rated game, that deserves no GoTY awards, R&C was by far better, halo3, mass effect, bioshock, orange box, uncharted are all better games then SMG

mario galaxy was by far game of the year. halo3, mass effect, bioshock is like saying banana peels, apple core, and orange peels. theyre just different versions of the same garbage. the only game that was exceptionally good was orange box. mario galaxy deserved it for sure.


 How in gods name is Mass effect, a third person Shooter/RPG anything like Halo or Bioshock, First person shooters with no RPG elements. (I suppose Bioshock could be said to have certain RPG elements though not to the degree of mass effect.) Personally I thought Uncharted was on a par with SMG for game of the year, that game got so overlooked unfortunately.
