Forums - Gaming - IGN GOTY 2008 is...

Just woke up and this threads still going. awesom. anywaaaaaaaayyy...
Whats people saying about there being no Wii games on the list?
And as for Kylie... seriously, MGS4 is been the benchmark this gen so far, on graphics, gameplay, and story imo. sure there maybe flaws, but you tell me a game that has no flaws?

You know what pisses me off even more than Fallout 3 winning?

Click on Best of 2008. Go to Overall. Then go to Action.

What the fuck, seriously?

Fallout 3 would probably have been my pick. MGS4 was terrible and anyone who can ignore the huge amount of flaws in that game is blinded by fanboyism.

 

Oh behave.  I could post the same thing for Fallout 3.  Buggy code, NPCs that disappear, the ability to break quests, poor FPS controls, invisible walls where there shouldn't be, etc. etc.

 

I still think Fallout 3 is great too, but get serious.  Still, if nothing else I love Fallout 3 as I'll probably get my first Platinum trophy from it.  I wouldn't vote it GOTY though.  Also, given most of the same issues Fallout 3 has plagued Oblivion I would have hoped they'd actually make a better attempt to trap them.  I mean will every title using this engine have NPCs that vanish until they patch it?  Can't they learn to give them paths that avoid perilous drops?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Fuck...yeah!

That would be my choice as well. Gears 2 didn't change the formula enough, and Resistance 2 just wasn't as good.

EDIT: This on the other hand... http://bestof.ign.com/2008/overall/15.html

@Kantor...
I remember ranting about that in another thread
imo it goes a bit like this : any game ever made (even superman 64) > GTA4

kinda sums up my feelings about it



                            

Ign fuxed up overall imo..

Well atleast they got the Best Platformer, Best Gfx(imo), Best New Ip, BEST ORIGINAL SCORE XD and most innovative design correct :D. Oh and artistic design(lol LBP ftw).

But maby they thought MGS4 was to uber so it exceeded Goty? XD

Seriously though, Can someone tell me why MGS4 got a 10 said if possible getting an 11 while fallout got like 9 something.

Then fallout is 360s best game

while mgs4 is ps3s

fallout is avaible on PS3, but mgs4 isnt on 360..

It should have been MGS4 Goty! They even voted what u liked most and ps3s goty won (Mgs4).

Readers choice is also mgs4

I mean come on!

Only thing i can think of is what someone said : PS3 team of IGN > the rest XD

Or scores doesnt matter

Or IGN maby thought meh lets surprise everyone lol

The best awards this year imo goes to vgchartz and gamespot :p well i mean gamespot made their awards exactly as i wanted it, and i think im gonna start following them more and just have IGN for reviews.



Lol guys go to Ign.com then vote on their poll.

What goty should have won?

Fallout is multiplat and yet the majority says MGS4. Sure IGN could be crawling with PS3 fans :P, But still xd



It seems IGN really disliked Brawl and Mario Kart.

Brawl didn't even get a nomination for best music score and best use of sound. It didn't win local multiplayer which I think is a shoe-in.

Mario Kart didn't even get a nomination for local multiplayer! Guess what, 15 million people have already proven IGN wrong with this one.

You can't spell ignorant without IGN.



What's with all the GTA4 hating? It's a great game, just not as great as IGN makes it out to be.
