Left 4 dead and Gears of War 2 not on GotY list?? What?!

OXM gave both these games a 9 and up I think left 4 dead got a 9.5. Defenitly needed to be on that list imo..jasonheyman

Both are very good games. If they were on the list which would give MGS4 a run for it's moneyjasonheyman

Back on topic: Gears 2 is a definite nominee for GotY, but I think it will go to either GTA IV or MGS4. My money's on MGS4 :).

Geow 2 multiplayer is laggy, buggy and unfinished, no one would choose it as Goty.WalterPaladines

And MGS4 Online plain sucks.

I think they said 9.5 or higher, heres the thing in my personal opinion no game is perfect, meaning no game deserves a 10 because all of them have there flaws, but I think matter a fact I know MGS4 will win I mean GTA 4 just sucked and nothing else can stand up to snake. Anyway I wanted G Gears up there to but we can't get every thing we won't now can we?theMarshell

You understand that the SAME PEOPLE That gave those games those scores, are making choices on GOTY, right?

Why would they changed their minds? This thread makes no sense.

The answer is NEITHER, as GS is GS.

If you are asking US, what is our personal GOTY, that's different, and infact will be answered I'm sure. As far as GS goes, if these games couldn't get a 9.5, why would these games, then become GOTY contenders against games that GS did give a 9.5-10 too?

Honestly, THINK ABOUT IT. They reveiw these games, and they aren't going to suddenly say :

"Hey, we gave GeoW and Resistance 2 a 9.0, and we gave GTA4 a 10....lets give GeoW/R2 the GOTY though!"

That's just absurd.

I do understand that, that's why they have a cut off. Right?

Back then, the cutoff was 9.0, now it's 9.5.

I recognize that SSBB could get GOTY, even though it got a 9.5...but GS has a fine line that they won't cross.

If they impose rules on themselves, how can the TC hope to insert new ones?

So, if GS due to whatever reason (Perhaps from a fan backlash, Perhaps due to Gerstmangate, perhaps due to the scoring system, or just because they want to keep it closer), then that's that.

The question is, are they letting 9.0+'s in this year, or 9.5+'s?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, stop with these GOTY discussions. We all know (or should know) that its gonna be LBP. LBP is the only game this year that has actually stood out from the general trend. Another possible contender would be World in Conflict. So its either LBP or WiC. Spore would have taken it had it gotten AAA status, unfortunetaly, that didnt happen :( You can quote me as many times as you want under the condition that when I am right, and you all get owned, you dont remove the quote for atleast 1 week so I can bask in the gratifying glory of noob tears :DII_Seraphim_II

Another thing i've always wondered. Do companies make more money by making people pay for DLC or by having free products that are payed for by ingame ads? Because I bet a company would make a killing if they made DLC free but included ingame ads in the form of posters or ads on the loading screen...just an idea. Imagine how many people would download free DLC...and imagine how much they would make from ad companies since each Download is a "hit" on the ad :DII_Seraphim_II
