AAA+'s this year: PS3: 9, PC: 8, 360: 7, Wii: 3, DS: 3, PSP: 2, PS2: 1

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]Yeah I only count 3 PS3 exclusive AAA's... Why are you counting just AAA, TC? That's not a very good judgment. blahzor

If you're going to count goo for the pc, why are we not counting it for the wii? For that matter, why are we not counting braid and geometry wars if we're counting goo?

goo may be availible at retail for the PC in some locations(so i've heard), but it got the same score on both systems, is cheaper on wii and even has extras on wii(coop). If you're going to give it equal weight against LBP, MGS4 and the like then you should also be advocating for counting the wii as having 4 AAA games and the 360 as having 9 too.

You might want to read my post again. I did not mention World of Goo as a PC exclusive, and this argument is pretty much PC vs PS3 (of course, still abiding by the fact that those PC AAA multiplats are still multiplats).

WOLK is an expansion pack.....Truth-slayer

So?

Can we really count expansion packs as full games? Seeing as how they are just an addition to the original game. Consoles don't get additional AAAs released from downloadable content on something like Mass Effect or Burnout's bike. Granted I know they are smaller, but it's the same type of thing. I know they(expansions) are not even considered for game of the year awards. white_sox

"Buh teh PS3 has no games?" :lol: I'm joking. Anyways, good to see the PS3 is getting great games. 2008 has been a good year for gaming.

Listen, I am too lazy to make a list of games for each platform. You can count yourself. PS3 beat PC, and every other platform this year, with a total of 2 AAAA games.

Congratulations, PS3. You won 2008. You beat the juggernaut known as PC even with Fallout getting an 8.5 on your system.

How can anyone deny PS3 won this year. signore

Topics like this one frustate me - the winner of the generation is not determined by GameSpot review scores - this was established in anarchy vote, and has been the rule since.

-

Disqualifying downloadable titles is idiotic. It's like saying "MP3s don't count as music, only albums released on vinyl count!". Uh-huh, right - so I guess all of those downloadable levels in Little Big Planet are dumb, right? Oh and forget about Counter-Strike, a downloadable mod. Who wants that? Oh, and PC games - forget them too!

-

To top it all off, GameSpot failed to review quite a few PC games, making it basically a contest of "what games did GameSpot get around to reviewing" rather than "which system offers the broadest library?". Of course, being System Wars, a pointless "showdown" is always in fashion, but still, I mean, really? We're smarter than this.

Expansions like the Lich King have more content then any crappy freaking console game you've ever played. (Unless you want to count all the user crap content in LBP)

Yeah this year went to PS3, it was a bit weak for PC. But exclusive vise, and I mean AAEs included PS3 really hasn't got much to celebrate either. After the top trio of MGS4, LPB and R2 it's pretty quiet ..I think there was VC, Motorstorm2 and some baseball game, but that's about it. mr_mozilla

Your right PC had a down year coming off 2007 and yet still managed to win the AAA/AA Exclusive race, man are consoles pathetic.

Since World of Goo is a DL game on Wii, it should count as a DL game on PC.WAIW

I've seen retail copies of the Wii version of World of Goo, so no, it counts as a real game on both systems.

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="Dick_Derringer"] Yuplocopatho

Have you guys really not been here the past 6 months? DL games don't count. You should have argued against that point all those months ago when it was first generally agreed upon. Since World of Goo is a DL game on Wii, it should count as a DL game on PC.WAIW

So PS3 wins but PSP loses miserably, if I don't count the PS2. Yep, PS3 wins 2008.Floppy_Jim

Yup, i wonder how lems and hermist will react?

Everyone trying to own me and saying downloadble games count, how about you read the rest of the freaking thread instead of repeating what everyone else said so you can realize that I admitted ownage. :| Jesus Christ...DeathScape666

Cool, so for game it sort of is the year of teh ps3 :o

Will it win next year too???

The Wii is irrelevant at all :lol:

Ok both arguments makes sense, what we would go with? count or doesn't count?

Im leaning towards doesn't count just to be fair, the independent games have a different experience than multimillion developed games, Im trying to compare Braid with the likes of Gears and MGS4 and I can't say Braid is better than any of the games mentioned, however, it is a better game than ehochrome.

So I want to know something, is there an award for best independent/dlc game?

wait... so if we do count DLC, Braid is > LBP?

no ****. T_T

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="DeathScape666"] No, downloable games DO NOT count.thegoldenpoo

or better yet... BRAID > Gears of War 2

HATERS be damned!

You guys are simplifying everything too much. By saying that expansion packs or DL games count it doesn't mean that they have equal weight(though they could depending on the games in question).

What it means is that they can be(and we are acknowledging that they are) very important assests to a systems library. Braid may not be better then LBP, but it's an important part of the 360's library that you cannot dismiss. It's a game that helps round out the xbox experience and provides things alot of games on the other systems are not providing. How important is it to the 360's library? does it propel the 360 beyond the PC or the PS3 or the Wii? that's for us to debate, along with all of the other great, good and interesting/diverse games and what it means to the system.

We've already decided that scores don't determine the best games and the best systems, so why are we not practising this? We could be developing a well thought out arguement as to why each system is good/better in comparison to other system.. ones that don't require scores; and having some actual interesting debates rather then just saying "Wii has 3 AAA games! Wii loses everything and is dumb". SW needs to drop its fixation on needing a well(and strictly/simple) defined winner.

ALso, i thought it had been proven long ago that just becasue one game scores higher then another doesn't mean it is better.

Did you really expect lemmings or hermits to concede?De_Bears

I personally think games like braid, world of goo should be counted separately as they are rated on a different scale

edit : i think GS is considering to have games like braid etc put in a different category
