[QUOTE="crunchUK"]GTA4? i found that game to be so "meh" in the end... i would hardly give it a 7.0 :(lolkie_81

I'm sorry you feel that way. I tend to like universally praised games. It means they're excellent. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Have you not noticed that gta4 for being a 10, alot of people Hate the game. That says something, there are more people that hate gta4 over smg, mgs4, halo3. Everyone says the same thing BORE FEST it does not deserve a GOTY.

Yeah, I'll take the reviewers opinions and my playtime more seriously, then I'll LOL @ haters when it gets GOTY.:D

I'd say Gears 2 has a definite chance to beat it, if the previews so far are any indication. Although it is very difficult for a shooter to get such a high score. It's also a shame you said consoles because I'm almost certain Spore will beat it.

It's not happening. GTA IV = 2008 console GOTY.

And what makes you think that a game on PC will beat it?

It all depends on what you prefer, as a cinematic experiance, MGS4 has no equal, its easily better than GTA IV in that regard...however, take the gameplay without the cinematics and GTA IV is the winner. Personally, even though MGS4 was a fantastic overall experiance, I play games for the gameplay, and GTA IV wins in that regard.

I feel sad for sheep...they were so happy last year when SMG was the best reviewed game of the last decade. And only a few months later, the franchise they hate the most, GTA, beats SMG.

Theyre probably really pissed off.

I agree 100%, I think people don't like it because it got better ratings than there favourite games. And MGS fans don't like sharing a 10

[QUOTE="yellowandmushy"]Nintendo should have delayed SMG to this year so that it could have beat GTA. :Probobie

SMG definitely deserved a 10 more than GTA IV imo.

Same here. I think GTA IV is good and all, but is not a 10 worthy.

SMG is for kids.

And GTAIV is for kids who want to believe they are adults.

Best game of the year? There are still plenty of future games that could earn that title.

Well, I also agree it will be the GOTY. No other game has been so noisy this year, not even MGS4.

I ask myself how will Gears 2 turn...

GTAIV is grossly overated. It does NOT deserve to be the highest rated game of all time. Its an amazing game. It deserves the top 10, even the top 5, but not #1. Its ridiculous.

So adults aren't allowed to play GTA IV. Only kids who think there adults.

Yeah, let's keep aggregating and playing with numbers to make worse games seem like they're better than other games.AmyMizuno

Does that mean that your favorite game isn't up there? Because that's what I'm getting from your post. My favorite game is up there and it's GTA IV. Man, I love the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the creme de la creme.

[QUOTE="whocares4peace"]The way I see it, the story in GTA4 is really what I ultimately cared about, and I was genuinely sad and angry at what happens near the end. And thats what makes it the best GTA so far.BioShockOwnz

I'd agree with that. I loved the characters, atmosphere, physics, and the new cover system. Cover system + new vehicle handling = win!

same, if you played the ps3 version as much i would so pwn you in online! i assume you play the 360 version for online more?

but yeah amazing game! niko and solid snake ftw

You're more effective when you're being a subtle troll. This was a little too obvious and out of character :P

The only game that has even the slightest chance of winning GOTY over GTA IV is the sequel to GOTY 2006: Gears of War 2. I don't believe GeOW2 will get a higher percentage than GTA IV though. Gears of War 1 has a 93.8%, so Gears of War 2 will probably have anywhere from 93% to 96%.

Yeah on gamerankings your probably right. Although I think games like Gears 2 and Fallout 3 still have a slight chance.

If i were choosing goty I would say GTAIV for now. It's slightly better than MGS4, but neither one of them blew me away. Personally, I think something that I'll like better will come along before the end of the year.

As far as reviews go, I doubt anything will top GTA.

H-Y-P-E....

Its sad but true. GR/Metacritic can protect against individual bias, but somehow this game got industry wide bias. Its like Vice City with better graphics (although still the worst graphics on the console... thats one GTA standard that will never change) and less fun.

Reviewers can get it wrong. Reviews are written after hurrying through a game in order to meet a deadline, they don't take time for the game to sink in, they can be blinded by hype or other such things and buggy games are often patched which isn't taken into account in a review.

If you were to base your purchases solely on reviews and claim "This game got 96%, it's better than the game that got 90%" you'd be doing yourself a great disservice.

GTA4 is a good game, even a great game but I seriously doubt it will get GOTY. I think initial reviews of this game had been blown out of proportion.
