So x-play gave out their awards last night and the game of the year winner was fable 2! taking the award over gears 2 resistance 2 left 4 dead metal gear solid 4 and grand theft auto 4 and FALLOUT 3. i put fallout in caps because i believe that was the game of the year for almost everyone. But y i think Fable won because even though i feel Fallout is a better RPG Fable has everything a better story a real sense of becoming someone and a journey than can be shaped in so many ways! it combines many great story based elements with awesome graphics a lot of diversity so i personally still think FALLOUT 3 IS BETTER because the game is amazing! LOL! but what i am trying to say is fable is an RPG with so much more! thoughts?

They are entitled to their opinion if it is an honest one , but I don't get the logic ..... Fallout 3 won best rpg over Fable 2 , so what gives ? Why not just name Fable 2 best rpg too ?

Yeah that makes no sense whatsoever. If an RPG can't win in it's own genre than how can it win overall ?

'Cause neither are traditional RPGS Maybe they likes Fallouts RPG elements over Fables but prefered Fable2's overall take on the genre. TBH I wouldnt call Fable an RPG, it's more an Action adventure to me.

Sorry fable2 does not deserve GOTY. Yes I own and beat the game down. Hell im a freaking millionare in the game and own all important houses. THe thing is fable 2 story and characters suck. ALso this has to be hands down the lamest last fight in this gen. These are really big things that matter in a rpg game.

I haven't played fable but my cousins regreted ever having touched that game . They returned it imediatly saying why why did I ever buy this game? Don't see how that game could beat out MGS4, R2, F3 or GW2. That just tells you how much xplay knows about games. Just a bunch of morons in a game show.

Definitely undeserved, Yahtzee said it best, Fable 2 is an upgraded version of the original Fable, sounds great on paper, but hten you realize how dated and unsatisfying of a game it is. Such a disappointing game.

I thought that was weird as well. And MGS4 got 4 of the awards, but not game of the year. [QUOTE="coakroach"]No LBP :(

They didn't even nominate it even though they just kept going on and on about how good it was.

I stopped watching xplay because of their GOTY 2004 awards when they gave Half Life 2 shooter GOTY but Halo 2 GOTY. It made me think they were paid by Microsoft.

I already said this in another thread on the same thing, but I genuinely hated Fable 2, so this decision really annoys me.

Yea, and they also said Madden 09 is sports game of the year over NHL09.

You know the same Madden everyone complained about being exactly like 08, and that everything EA changed they just made it worse. Yet critically acclaimed NHL09, labeled the best hockey game ever made, and one of the best sports games of all time, somehow missed the cut?

I wont give X-play the time of day anymore. Fable 2? I'm all for 360 getting a GoTY, but Fable 2 would be the last game I expected to get it.

I'll be pretty damn surprised if it gets GOTY in GS. Not saying it doesn't deserve it but I think it'll be MGS4, should be interesting to see people's reactions.

What???? Oh my god. Fable 2 is a glitchfest, and doesnt deserve any mention whatsoever. I am so utterly disappointed with that game, and to see it get THIS kind of credit makes me sick. Weak ending to the story, game breaking and XBOX breaking glitches, pitiful coop, etc. etc. Wow.

That just goes to show you that opinions vary, often greatly. Your cousin hates the game, I love the game. X-play must love it even more and that is why they gave it GOTY. Would you rather them give it to MGS4 or GTAIV just because everybody else is?

Common, it's nice to see that different kinds of games win now and again. I think Fable 2 was a great game and a good effort, and I'm happy someone acknowledged what Peter Molyneux tried to/did.

Unless they've changed things around, X-Play's awards are entirely fanbased. Members of the site vote.

I wouldn't give it to Fable 2. Great game, and a good improvement over the original, but the game suffered some real technical problems. It was slow to load, and it really pushes the 360 (Just listen to it.). The A button still dosn't seem to work very well, and the game felt a bit repetitive after a while. Alot of Oblivion style caves. The main story felt to short, and it was a bit weak in places, but it did have it's moments. Mostly everything is just good Actiony Adventury RPGey fun mixed in with some strange sims like gameplay mechanics, but the game is quite flawed in many places. Still this is X-Play, and I don't really take them very seriously.

I laughed so hard at the ep... so sad...

And after they tried to explain their apparent "fanboyism" (which I don't really see all to much on the show), they go and do this. I'm not saying Fable 2 is a bad game... but it's definitely NOT GOTY.

Well opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one. When it comes to opinions, no one is wrong. I personally really liked Fable 2. More so than GOW2 or Left 4 Dead. I did not play MGS4 or Fallout 3, though I want to play the latter, but haven't had the time. The whole Fallout 3 winning Best RPG, but not GOTY over Fable 2 is not uncommon. It's happened in the past with many award events. It's something to get your head around, but there's obviously a deep level of thought put into it.

My point is though, as mentioned before, when it comes to opinions, NO ONE is wrong.

Does Peter Molyneux work there? You guys know how the Jews felt during the Halocaust when they were ripped from their homes, separated from their families, and were forced into concentration camps with minimal food and water, and lots of beating, name-calling, and work? Yeah, that's how I feel right now.

No, I highly doubt the feeling was even remotely similar. May I ask what you believe should've earned GOTY from them?

I don't think you really know how strongly I feel about this... I thought Fable 2 was AWFUL.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is the only logical choice.

My two leaders for GoTY would be Fable 2 & Fallout 3. Don't know which I would pick but probally Fable as that was the only game this year I played like it was my job. I would have to give Fallout 3 the full play through first. Also I would need to play LBP.

I don't even care about Fallout 3 seeing how everything about it screams Oblivion with new textures and story. The voice acting sounds EXACTLY the same and I could swear that I've heard some of the same side conversations being used as in Oblivion. :|

My best friend's great-grandfather killed himself in Gurs after learning that his sister had died in the same camp. Are you willing to kill yourself due to a subjective review? Because if you aren't then no, you do not have the same feelings, and if you are willing, then it will just be natural selection at its job.

On topic: I was pushing for Fallout but everyone is entitled to their opinions, they couldn't have named one game that would have gotten support from everyone. :?
