reminds me of MGS4 almost sweeping the major awards here in GS. :P

longtonguecat

Despite everything I still can't believe they gave graphics to it over Crysis Warhead...

The award was for how amazing what MGS4 pulled off was, given the PS3's limitations. it is pretty amazing what MGS4 pulled off.

GeOW 2 seemed more impresive, but I suppose the likes of Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 hadn't come out yet.... Still if that's the case, then shouldn't the graphics award should be for each system instead?

I see no reason why it shouldn't be in all those categories ... I didn't see a single nomination where it didn't belong.

The fact that they scored the same when PC version has mods, changeable resolution and details and better controls plus all the stuff the guy with the green avatar said is a proof that YOU are in fact the one ignorant, and need to learn the difference between fact and opinion.

Can someone explain why infamous is in the GOTY category, it has to be a mistake Batman should be there.

I think Orange Box NOW with all the updates, mods is a better game on PC> but at the time, it was identical games that were seperated by the fact that PC has mouse/keyboard support and mod support. I don't think mod support should increase the score. One it's a PC standard. It should be one of those things where if the game doesn't allow mods, than there should be a mention in the review as a point loss. the interface is interface thats a given. I believe 100% of the content on the discs was the same. In the long run the PC version was just supported better. Mods are too much of an unknown to expect them all to live up to a game changing difference. To me Mods shouldn't even be brought up in the review. I like the actual content on the disc reviewed. Not the mods that will come for it. Half Life didn't need counterstrike to be considered an amazing game, it was an amazing game that just happened to also get the most popular mod of all time(it is the most popular right?) atleast thats my view on it. jg4xchamp

No, just no.

[QUOTE="tok1879"][QUOTE="htekemerald"] I have played it. Didn't make me say wow at any point. I am not saying that it was a soild game it was just in no way what a defining game of the generation should be, and it most certainly is not the best game of this generation.

Yes, that is why i brought it up, just cause he thinks uncharted doesn't deserve it doesn't mean he has to think it was a pathetic year for gaming.

The difference between 60 and 30 fps is unnoticable unless you're specifically looking for it, and if you're doing that instead of playing the games, I feel sorry for you. Better controls is entirely opinion, by the way.

Nope, difference between 60 and 30 FPS is friggin huge, ask any serious Fighting genre gamer (you know, one of the few kind of games that's really popular only on consoles). If you say it's unnoticeable you don't know what you are talking about.

No, controls aren't opinable. Kb+m annihilates any controller in FPSs, there's just no contest.

And again, no, I don't have a link for this. But if you want, you can play online with a controller and see for yourself how bad your ass will hurt after a single match.

I hate the PC control scheme because it's the epitomy of button hell. AKA the keyboard. By disagreeing with you, I have proved that better controls are opinions.

No, you have only proved once again you don't know what you are talking about and only spout sigworthy comments.

Preference is an opinion. Effecience is not. KB+M will annihilate any current gen controllers in shooters efficiency, it's not a matter of opinion.

dragon age is garbage compared to uncharted 2. if you think otherwise then to 2 bad because uncharted 2 is winning all the categories....taste it hahaha

:roll:The only thing that counts in which controller is better is which one I like better. Period. The mouse is more accurate. I don't care. I do not like the key board as a controller. Therefore, it is not fact that mouse and keyboard is the best.
