Well,

If you notice that most peoples favorite games change has the gen advances

First it was MGS4

Now its Uncharted

Next year itll be last guardian and God of War 3

And another thing

At the beggining of this year Killzone 2 and Infamous were hyped as GOTY (well not infamous but still pretty high) and now its Batman AA and Uncharted 2 taking htat slot, and no one talked about these early 2009

Anyone else find it odd

It is not odd at all. As new breakthroughs are found in consoles (especially the PS3) each year, it is only expected that the games will advance and get better as well.

You are also forgetting FF13, FF Versus 13, and Agent too!!!

I doubt it will be "the last guardian". lol Anyawy, it is not odd at all. As new breakthroughs are found in consoles (especially the PS3) each year, it is only expected that the games will advance and get better as well.

But most of peoples favorite games are older games And why lol at last guardian, ICO and Shadow of the Collussus are both amazing games and some peoples favorite games.

yeah I changed that. I had to look that game up, and it only took me a few seconds to change what I said about the last guadian once I saw the devs who were working on it. And I guess you can call this the greatest videogame generation of all time. For the PS3, at least!!!

Snake Eater had over 3 hours of cut scenes, not exactly a light weight. Sure, the ending cutscene for MGS4 was practically a movie, but it needed it to wrap up all of the other games.

But to each his own. I loved it.

Infamous is amazing, but Valkyria Chronicles still remains at the top... in a tie with Infamous. They are like 1A and 1B for me really. Batman is pretty darn awesome as well. I have a feeling the new Ratchet and Clank might become my overall favorite though. I'm so excited for that game.

People get caught up in the excitement of a new game. I enjoyed all the games you mentioned, but if I had to pick my favorite game this gen I would probably have to stick with Uncharted 2. Great story, gameplay, visuals, online, etc. Plus I loved Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 improves on pretty much everything Uncharted 1 did well.

I have lots of GOTY votes in for this year... Batman: Arkham Asylum, Ghostbusters, and Uncharted 2 so far for me with a few more to come(Borderlands, and AC2). InFamous was good but I didn't really think its a GOTY worthy title, same with Killzone 2. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they are bad but they weren't really standout titles to me. Killzone is just a victim to an overdone genre in my honest opinion, and InFamous was just ok to me. I enjoyed them both very much, but not as much as the titles I had listed above mainly because of the ways they were made. Batman rolled up years of comic lore into the story of the game. Ghostbusters took the film classics and made it into a technically outstanding video game adaptation. And for all who have played Uncharted 2 they already know what I'm talking about. Its not that people forget, its that there are constant new titles coming out that are great and unique in their own ways and people grasp onto some more than others based on their thoughts about it. Not everything in the gaming world is based on hype. So don't be surprised when Uncharted 2 gets swept under the rug when God of War 3 comes out. Its just the progression of releases. I guess what I'm trying to say is that every game no matter how big it is will not always be in the spotlight. It will still hold a special place in a players mind for things that they really enjoyed, so they in reality are never gone or forgotten...

Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune remain my favorite games on the PS3. Other games like Uncharted 2 have come close but my favorites remain the same.

Its called getting aboard the hype train.

Everyone has been going around saying how Uncharted 2 is there favorite game of all time or w/e but that will only last for a month or two and thos idiots will move on to another game because they just follow the latest trend in video games.

Yeah off the top of my head MGS4 is still my favourite, but i reckon GOWIII will soon take its place, or maybe even Uncharted 2(have yet to play it) OR maybe even A Crack In Time, if it looks as good as i hope, doubt it though.

And i havent played the other MGS games andi still loved it, i sortah read up on it so yeah.

People always go with whats most recent in their memory. I run an MMA website and the same thing happens everytime a new awesome fight happens. You get like 30 guys coming on the forum proclaiming it fight of the year and the best fight ever but generally its not even close.

Yeah or maybe they actually like the game :roll: I loved Uncharted 1 and now Uncharted 2 is even better imo. Am I not allowed to actually like it just because it's new? I'll still like the game 2-3 years from now when the next one comes out. I'm not saying it's my favorite game of all time (that belongs to Half-Life 2) but its a really good game. Some people get too wrapped up in hype, but not everyone follows the crowd.

And that is find my friend, but if you only played Uncharted 2(which I know you played the first ;) ) but never the first that is not right and you would have no right to call Uncharted 2 your fav game if you never played the first.
