Because it is indeed Overated like the majority of non-lemmings and Hermits that have played Halo 1/2 have said from day 1.

All makerting, all hype, all peer following.

DragonfireXZ95



Crysis isn't over rated?! You need a 3k PC just to run that game on mid-settings! You need 2k for a monitor! 5k just to run the game decently! How the hell do COD4, The Orange Box, and Crysis beat out Halo 3?! Halo 3 revisioned the FPS genre this year and EVERYONE knows it deep down. SIX MILLION sold in ONE day, sales don't lie.

I made a whole new PC from the ground up and it cost me $1400. I can run Crysis on as higher settings as it will allow; though there are even higher settings for when new graphics cards hit the market in a few years time.

You do not need a "3k PC" by any means. Dont be such a fanboy. If you simply upgrade an existing PC rather than buy a whole new one as i did, you could probably run Crysis maxed out (as much as possible right now...) for $500 tops.

Being a fanboy wont help your arguement.

SLI 8800's Ultraswont run crysis on max at more that 25fps and thats like 900 bucks in graphcis cards alone right there, You would then need a psu, cpu, 2gigs of ram, a good hdd, disc player, case, monitor, cables, mouse, keyboard, ect

Very ignorant thing to say considering I can run it on High with dx10 autoexec cfg's and it's basically the same graphically, it also runs at around 33 fps average. Here's a screenie with FPS in the upper left corner. 8800 GTS 640 mb, E6600 and 2 gigs ram.

[QUOTE="htekemerald"][QUOTE="thegoldenpoo"]Halo 3 was good, but it wasn't GOTY material. everything it does had benn or is being done better by other gamesthegoldenpoo

COD4, Crysis,and SMG did new things? I must have missed them all...

Crysis had better graphics, SMG revived the platformer, bioshock had better single player and story, COD4 had better multiplayer. there

Being better hasnt been done before?

I never said PC gaming was cheap, I'm just destroying your theory that Crysis requires SLI 8800 Ultra's for good frames, when clearly, it doesn't.

And now you are getting defensive and using snide remarks as comebacks.

8800 ultras are the onlything above 30 fps, which as I hav read from many repuable PC mags and Sites is the absolute minimum framerate for anygame anything less is a choppy slideshow mess.(funnily enough I've read it from almost every PC gamer here to)

Okay, can I give my two cents on this topic? Thank you very much.

Halo 3 didn't get Multiplayer for the year, it didn't get FPS of the year, it didn't get best sequal, it didn't get best graphics, it didn't get best music, it didn't get best story, it didn't get best gameplay. How bias is this site?!

Halo 3 is the highest scoring FPS this year and sold SIX MILLION in one day.That's TWICE as many PS3s sold! How the hell does COD4 get 360 GOTY over Halo 3?! And some how COD4 get's shooter of the year too?! Halo 3 revisioned the FPS and Bungie spent countless 3 years working on this game. How can GS do this?!

For all we know, tomorrow, they might end up giving GOTY to COD4 or that PC FPS that needs a 3k PC just to run on mid. How wrong is that?!

Does anyone else feel that the GS GOTY awards aren't right this year?
kaos-hero

The last I remember, sales don't make a game better.

I think your PS3 sales numbers are off. :roll:

Halo 3 did not "revision" the FPS. It took Halo 2, tweaked things a bit, and polished all of the armor.

They spent countless 3 years on the game? Hm... let me try. 1... 2... 3... OMGZ! I broke the space time continuum!

So what if they give COD4 GOTY? CoD4 is an amazing game that all hardcore gamers can enjoy.

You don't need a $3,000 PC to run Crysis on medium settings. :roll:

Most of Gamespot's awards are spot on, except the ones that don't include Uncharted when they should (where is Uncharted in PS3 game of the year nominations!?!?!?!?)

you can blame the cows for this crap, they were the ones voting for COD4 because they havent adecent game worth playing until now.. COD4 is an ok game, but its a rental at best... the multiplayer is sucks so damn bad.... Halo3 is a far superior game that people will come back to once the flavor of the month dies of.. shadowrun has much better multiplayer then cod4 even.Bdking57

That doesn't explain why GAMESPOT gave Call of Duty 4 the awards.

Ah, I'm right here. I was watching FOX News. Some chick got killed in some Islamic land. Sorry.

:lol:

A statement like that coming from a FOX News viewer. You gotta love the unintentional self-parodying.

I watch FOX News on occasion. Are you one of those dumb liberals that don't like mean old FOX News cause they report the news different than CBS or ABC? FOX btw destroys them in ratings and their news doesn't have a liberal slant to it. That says alot.

MadExponent and I are going to pwn Hilary Clinton in the face... that sounded somewhat dirty. *Dodges banhammer and jumps into bunker*

Pc gaming ain't cheap... but its not as high as some of these fanboys make it out to be, dont go by alienware or dell... they add unnessary things and jack the price up for stupid stuff. If your serious about pc gaming learn to build it yourself. 1500 bucks will get crysis running great and most things for the next year should run fine. Not to mention... your on a computer, if its got a decent monitor just stick with that. Really dont need a new monitor for pc gaming, any old lcd will do. Hell i used a crt up untill a few months ago.

You realize that Both metacritic AND gamerankings has CoD4 rated HIGHER than Halo 3 right? Not to mention Bioshock and the Orange Box as well. So I am trying to figure out how you justify your opinion with false information? And please tell me what bungie did to Halo 3 that reinvisioned the FPS genre? A dumbed down level editor? Video/Screen capture? Metascoring in co-op? Are you being serious?

For me, Mass Effect is the 360 GOTY. Call of Duty 4 is just another Call of Duty title. It's good mind you, and I'll admit the multiplayer is addictive, but it's also highly flawed, too fast paced and really not all that tactical for a 'Modern Combat' game. Anywho, Halo 3 > CoD 4, but Mass Effect should have gotten the nod. I also loved Mass Effect's soundtrack, but seriously, Halo's music is unparallelled in the video games industry. It's production values are much higher than those of any other title this year.

Let's see: Does Cod 4, BioShock or the Orange Box have a level editor at all? Have metascoring? Have Co-Op? Have Video and Screen Capture? No, they don't. So come down of your throne and smell the coffee. Find me a console FPS with that many features.

Um it didn't win any rewards because it didn't deserve any, it was a good game but nothing amazing. Bungie wont care, they made so much money off the game to them its a major success.

Lets be honest here, you are probably going to have more fun from COD 4's multiplayer(and for a longer period of time) than any game released this year. Why wouldn't it be GOTY?? Heck, I'm surprised, SMG beat COD 4 for GOTY.

8800 ultras are the onlything above 30 fps, which as I hav read from many repuable PC mags and Sites is the absolute minimum framerate for anygame anything less is a choppy slideshow mess.(funnily enough I've read it from almost every PC gamer here to)

You didn't see the 8800 GT at 32 fps in 1280 x 1024?

1280 x 1024 is to crysis as 600p is to COD4, Unacceptable

The ONLY games this year that didnt disappoint me, as I've said before, were CoD4 and SMG. Halo doesnt deserve GOTY, and it certainly didnt deserve its ridiculous score.

Halo 3 is a great game in many areas. It's definately a game that outshadows any FPS PS3 can put out, but CoD4 has a better online experience. I thought Halo 3 single player was more exciting, but it was a tough call. This year was a joke too. Best RPG wasn't Mass Effect? No award for one of the most immerisive and innovatie WRPG in Bioshock that outshadows all FF games gets nothing? I don't get it.
