Also, if you look at last nights VGA...

L4D won best multiplayer

Media Molecule won best developer.

and for LBP winning game of the year isn't too surprising considering the hype behind the game.

 GTA4 also won GOTY, confirming to almost everyone that again that game awards and reviews are largely biased.  GTA4 winning VGA's GOTY is an absolute flipping joke.  360, Wii, PS3, and PC owners alike should all be outraged.

I still don't understand how it's an absolute joke but oookay. Just because you're bitter that MGS4 isn't getting as many GOTY awards doesn't mean that it's not a great game and just because Grand Theft Auto 4 isn't your favorite game, doesn't mean that it's not other peoples. It had a HUGE impact on gaming this year and it also was a great game for the first round through of the game. That's normally all that matters. If it were up to me, I would have probably voted another game, but just the impact of GTA4 was bigger than the impact of any of the other games nominated.

Personally, I wouldn't care whether LittleBigPlanet or Metal Gear Solid 4 or Gears of War 2 won. All of the games nominated did deserve the nomination. And it was an all around great year for games so that means that I'm sure Metal Gear Solid 4 will get it's share of "Game of the Year" awards. As well as Gears of War 2. As I said, all are great games and deserve the best.

When did I ever fucking mention MGS4 should have won more awards?  I have owned every single GTA game produced and sold on a console/handheld and I have bought multiple copies when rereleased on PC.  I love the series, it is probably my favorite series of all time, but GTA4 was garbage.  Every mission was the same, there are a large number of features missing that were established on GTA:SA, there are a number of issues with the game itself, and nearly everyone is in some form disappointed with the game and disagrees with most of the "formal" reviews given for the game.  Even the story of the game didn't flow very well (though it did start out very well).

All things aside, don't ever put words in my mouth or assume I was thinking something clearly different.  You do not know me on a personal level enough to start completing my sentences and thoughts and never will.

Euphoria14 said: @Axum Going by his sig, I would say he wanted MGS3 to win 2008 GOTY.

it was a loose correlation. X_x 

I see Snake so I assume he was rooting for Metal Gear Solid 4. I have done that a lot today for some reason.

gears 2, fable 2, nuts& bolts

hope this explains why they are are pub of the year

I realize I was insinuating you were hoping for a MGSIV win. I actually meant to even remove the statement from my post but I got distracted while I was typing. But I assumed due to your sig. And I apologize for doing so.

I do think GTAIV deserved the award for Game of the Year through Spike TV at least because it's spike tv's demograph. It was shocking to me that LittleBigPlanet won best ps3 game because Spike TV's demograph normally doesn't seem to up on "cute" things. I was mainly trying to say that there are enough "Game of the Year" awards to go around to all the big titles that everyone seemed to have liked.
