And I do not think we should take Gamespot's opinion as fact.

A game of the year needs to have:

Good writing

Good production values

Good controls

Good Combat

Good Plot

Good Multiplayer (not always

And MGS4 does not have all of these things. What game does? Which is the true game of the year?

Oh yeah. And this is not my opinion. If you analyze unbiasedly, it is fact.

We are on Gamespot, and MGS4 has good writing, production values, controls, combat and plot, Gears only has one or two of those. :lol:

Gamespot implies video games. CNET's movie affiliate is two webpages over.

gears 2 has a good story? :lol:Mr_Apple_Soup

They tried at least. That part with Dom and Maria though, never saw that one coming, but with that said, I thought that was the only good part of 2's story.

*POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!!!*

although it was an interesting plot while playing the game (which is rly all that matters), looking back at it, it seems a tad unnesecary and i still thinks its a little absurd he just HAPPENED to find her like that...but it kept me playing the game so who cares :P

I thought just about every big game got GOTY sommewhere if you look at other review sites. You even fail at stating it's not an opinion if you look at other sources.

Biggest problem IMO was the group's reaction to what the Locust Queen looked like, and the whole ordeal with the Sires. Completely brushed them off to the side as the game went on.

You're clearly out of your mind...and I highly doubt you've played MGS4.

The writing can be overdone at some points... Multiplayer is a hassle, but could be infinitely better if it was connected to PSN. IMO, MGS4 pushes the rest to its limits.

I definetly think that the GS editors made the wrong decision. Are you saying games don't need those to be GOTY?

And yet, you're stating that it's better than MGS4's. Clearly a fail, man.

Your the same person that was on here yesterday complaining about MGS4 in every post. Get over it already bud. Nobody can force you to like it. Now stop being a fanboy and actually respect other people's opinions for once.

MGS4 won it already....that doesnt disturb me at all. What DOES disturb me is the reasoning behind the powers that be at gamespot leaving GEARS 2 off the ballot. They stated NOBODY was passionate about Gears 2....and thats why they left it off. They stated that Guys were passionate about Braid and ALL of the games on the GOTY list. OOOooooOoookay. Whatever.

Yeah I really don't agree with GS about leaving it off the ballot. I know it didn't blow everyone's mind like it was supposed to, but it was still one of the best games of the year IMO.

You lost all credibility right there. That is the most ego-centric and delusional comment I have ever read. Get out. Of your own thread.

I thought the story was pretty good but I have to agree with the ending...very disappointing ending to a great game.

I think GeOW's story is underrated. It's not great, but it's above average. That being said, the multiplayer is so bad, outside of co-op and horde, that there is no way it is GOTY, even with an enyoyable singleplayer compnent.

Indeed. Super Mario Galaxy was a brilliant GOTY-worthy title, and only successful in meeting one third of the TC's criteria.

Weird story. After playing through SMG and getting about 100 stars last year(and loving every second of it), I put it down for a while. I just started playing again, and I'm not enjoying it nearly as much. Maybe my memories had set the bar too high but I'm nitpicking with everything, such as the camera being an absolute fail.

:| Really? Lems still cant let this one go? Face it, MGS4 won GOTYEVOLV3

the reason they cant let it go is because gears was actually such a bad game that it didn't even make the xbox GOTY list. it actually got beat out by an XBL downloadable game.

maybe that'll teach the devs for rushing an unfinished, glitchy, laggy piece of trash out to the market.

Gears 2's story was laughable, its tried ripping of MGS4 with the emotional scenes and Bioshock, but failed....i couldn't watch the screen when Dom got all upset over Maria, cheesiest and most random thing for Gears, ever...just didn't suit it. Game still scored below the first, so that says something. Epic should have kept the story simple yet epic in battles, throw out all that emotional **** because it doesn't work for a game like gears....then again, Epic are never original with ideas, its why most of there titles suck concerning story. Gears 2 has great gameplay tho, but MGS4 is the whole package. IMO

Huh? Gears writing was terrible. Terrible. I mean come on. Dom's wife? What am I like 12 years old? Please.

But I can't say that MGS4's writing was any better.

After all they are just video games. Cant expect much. Its not like they have Dostoyevsky doing their writing.
