Even the 9.5/10 Uncharted 2 did not get GOTY over the 9.0/10 Demons Souls

So, i have doubts that the 9.0/10 Uncharted 3 will now get GOTY over the 9.5/10 Dark Souls, would make little sense

I agree with the rest, Zelda, Skyrim and Gears 3 have a chance at GOTY

Demons Souls was something completely different at the time. It came from nowhere and surprised everyone with its incrdible gameplay, atmosphere, and innovative use of online elements. A lot of its win, i think, was due not just to it being so good... but that it was UNEXPECTEDLY good.

I'm not trying to say Dark Souls doesn't deserve it... I just don't think it will win here, based on GotY winners over the past years. Let's just wait and see.

Based on GOTY in 2009 and the score Dark Souls got comparing to U3, i would give Dark Souls 99% chance to be this year GOTY myself and Uncharted 3 the least (talking about the big titles of course)

Based on the fact that GS has NEVER given GotY to a game after a previous game already won in the same generation, even when the latter game improved and scored higher (SMG2 10/10 for instance), I'd say your 99% chance is way off, but like I said, lets just wait and see.

I can't believe the stupid decisions both have made. Nintendo launched the system assuming 3DS would have the same success Wii and DS had. So they drop the price and are making a loss on it. And now something stupid comes up with Vita. The games that require memory cards need them in the units to play the games.

I think both need to relaunch these things and start again or just focus on consoles.

Wait... games that require a memory card require the memory card to be in the system? PREORDER CANCELLED!

Dark Souls is definitely on my list of must-haves for 2011, and Demons Souls is one of the highlights of the gen for me... But I'm pretty confident that Dark Souls will not win GS's GotY this year. My gut says it'll come down to Uncharted, Gears, Zelda, or Skyrim, and some wildcard... like Batman, Portal2 or something. Honestly... I believe Uncharted may take it.

I never said it did not flop...

Austindro

So in what way did Cows DC the FM4 MC rating?

Cows were claiming Motorstorm, 85 on gamespot, is as good as Forza 4 even though on MC it was destroyed. Now Cows are using MC to claim Uncharted 3 is better than Gears 3, hypocrisy.

What? Who the hell said anything like that?? 8)

Also, the neat thing about hypocrisy on SW... it is ALWAYS two-sided. Case in point: if you are saying Cows are being hypocritical for saying MS = Forza, because the GS scores are the same, despite the MC being lower, and then saying Gears is NOT > U3, because the MC is higher, despite the GS being lower, then you have to also accept that Lems are hypocritical for saying FM4 was the best racing game of the gen because, at the time, it had the highest MC, despite other games having as high/higher GS scores, but now saying Gears > U3 because the GS is higher, despite the MC being lower. Both sides could call the other hypocites, with a valid argument.

Fuel for the fire.

Results of meta-analysis:

  • Number of equivalent publications sampled: 42
  • Average score (U3): 93.86
  • Average score (G3): 91.07
  • Number of publications scoring U3 higher: 21
  • Number of publications scoring both equally: 16
  • Number of publications scoring G3 higher: 5

Averages didn't end up very far off the metacritic interestingly.

Slashless

wait let me get this straight, there are 21 people who think uncharted 3 is better (or at least scored it that way) and 21 people who thought they were the same/gears 3 was better. what happened to the vast majority thinking uncharted 3 was better?? :o

Letme make sure I heard you right... there are 5 reviewers who think Gears3 is better, and 37 who thought Uncharted was as good or better than Gears3. I mean... that's exactly the same as what you said... makes a big difference when you add the ones that scored them the same into one side or the other, huh?

[QUOTE="Martin_G_N"]

How can UC3 only get a 9.0 at gamespot with all the improvements, and Gears 3 scores higher with less improvements and more boring gameplay.

SecretPolice

Pfft, that's nothing since this should really bake your noodle....

How does the racing game that most reviews have said is the Finest Sim Racer on consoles only get a 8.5 on GS ? :shock: :shock: :shock:

:P

Probably the same way the 2010 and 2011 baseball games that GS calls the best baseball franchise on the market and both improved on their predecessors only got 8.0s on GS, while being 90-91 on MC. :shock:

[QUOTE="loosingENDS"]

Because gaming is all about great single player experiences for me ?I hate the generic casual online gameplay and MMOs especially

Also because i never leave my wireless enabled for longer than needed and do anything by cable and consoles are in the living room, far away from my router and i dont want cables running through my whole house ?

I only connect them when it is needed, usually to download games and lately for Dark Souls, though it was easier when playing online and the hints break the game, so i went offline with that too

loosingENDS

Strange, to most it would seem more of a bother to turn and and off your wireless setup for no reason rather then just to leave it running, but each to his own I guess.

For most people yes, for someone that knows how easy it is to crack your wireless and start downloading stuff from other systems though, not

I would never leave my wireless on, this is the last thing i would do with my internet connection

it is like the cradit card thing, who on earth would put his credit on the internet or PSN/XBLA ? Not me for sure, yet millions do (and we all know what happened with PSN)

Yep... we sure do: absolutely nothing. No compromised credit cards. No credit card fraud. No cases of identity theft, as far as I'm aware... and a million dollars of identity theft insurance per person on the increasingly unlikely event anything ever does happen.
