And apparently no mention of Vanquish... I am disgusted... again.

Discuss!

Did they really put up Call of Duty: Black Ops for GOTY ?

Yes they did. And I thought these guys were supposed to be the "oscars" of the video game world! They're about as bad as Spike it seems...

Ah, true. The Academy has also been pretty craptacular, especially as of late.

Something oddly similar about you two....Can't put my finger on it though. Don't want to leave a mark on my computer screen

What a shame.

Ya know, as much as I loved vanquish, it's not this end all be all you make it out to be.

Vanquish is a one trick pony that does it's trick very well.

I am dissapoint in you Animal! Was The Godfather a one trick pony? Citizen Kane? Laurence of Arabia? Transformers Revenge of the Fallen? I think not!

Yeah, teh Transformers statement was a joke, but my point still stands! (whatever it was)

Vanquish did some awesome new s***, and it did it extremely well. So much so, that it's a far more memorable shooter than over 99% of the other games in the genra. It dared to be different, and not only was it different but it succeeded at introducing a new found level of awesomness that had yet to be seen init's overpopulated and stale genra. Timeless masterpiece is timeless, no matter how short :P

Hey if you don't, feel free to send it over to my house. I would gladly take it :D

Sometimes I wonder if you have a shrine for Vanquish.:P

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] Enslaved was actually pretty good albeit some major problems, still a great experience. Master_ShakeXXX

Thats strange to me though. I rarely dislike a game. I mean its not bad, it just doesn't do anything exception for me. The character development is above average but the gameplay seems really shallow and the platforming is way too simplified

this thread makes me wanna VANQUISH :P

Well, it seems the AIAS is a complete joke this year. As usual.

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] Transformers revenge of the fallen completely destroys any indication of seriousness due to it being A) a Mbay film and B) Having horrific plot and such. I never said vanquish was bad, it's a really good game. BUT it's only got a few things going for it. Extremely good gunplay and rocket thrusters.

It's introduction of the rocket boosting mechanic, and it's seamless combination with other gameplay mechanics that have been used in the genra for a while now. The boosting, slow motion, and cover mechanics work so freakishly well together as a wholein Vanquish that it's borderline revolutionary. Shinji Mikami did something real amazing there and I think it should be achknowledged. Also the speedy action in this type of shooter is something we haven't really seen before.

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] What did it do that was new? It did dare to be different and I found it memorable because of it's over the top ridiculousness. Was it fresh, a bit. But lets not lie to ourselves, theres some bias up in this thread. Some Vanquish bias?Animal-Mother

The way how it uses these mechanics fluidly and seamlessly together in tandem is pretty damn original. Where is NeonNinja? That guy actually did a pretty awesome job at explaining this stuff.

I finally decided to comb through the list of nominees. Am I correct in not seeing Super Mario Galaxy 2 nominated for anything?JAB991

It's a real shame SMG2 has gotten snubbed so much in general, but having no nominations? I really dont follow these awards, do they general favour certain styles of games? Mostly stick to western developed games?

All I can say, Master_Shake...

Great games like Metro 2033 and Starcraft 2 get the shaft once again.

Game awards are a joke. Popularity wins. BC2 better win their GOTY.
