Re: Game of the Year

Half-Life 2 is my favourite game ever, but forget Episode 3... it's been so long... they need to bring Half-Life 3 out already.

1 came out in 98. 2 came out in 04. 3 should be out in 10 but it seems we are still a long way away.

This will be the last episode, so hopefully they'll come out with Half-Life: 3 next time around.

Next time around could be four years from now. I'm impatient.

Seems like they're waiting for another big flop in technology but I don't understand why.
 
Re: Game of the Year

I haven't seen any news on it though? (any link?)
Pretty sure the story will revolve around Gordon and Alyx going after the Borealis, starting with a shaky helicopter ride.

Perhaps, or maybe they're planning on releasing two other games with Half-Life much like they did with Counter-Strike: Source and the other Counter-Strike games.

yeah its been a long time, and it was so successful. (just like grand turismo is delaying its game for no damn reason)
 
Re: Game of the Year

What about Starcraft 2? I used to love playing that back in middle school. Arguably one of the most balanced RTS games ever.
 
Re: Game of the Year

Starcraft is definitely a classic, but I never got in to it.
 
Re: Game of the Year

I have no respect for Valve. They refuse to work on the PS3 like little bitches, probably because they can't deal with it's complexity. Heh.

Half-Life 2 was good but it's load times were crazy. I can see why though as the game is really massive.

It has more to do with contracts than just working with a company.
 
Re: Game of the Year

Valve makes games for the PC that are eventually ported to the Xbox. Obviously it's easier to go from games for Windows to games for the Xbox than to go to a different set of tools altogether.

^ this. Xbox is basically a pc that doesn't run on windows.

And, I've only played Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 from games up on that list. But I also enjoyed Street Fighter 4. Is it GOTY worthy? No, just enjoyed too much not to mention it.

Why would they go to PS3? And are Grand Turismo owners bitches for not going to Xbox and PC? (or god of war, etc etc etc)
 
Re: Game of the Year

What difference does it make what system the game is for? The poll isn't 'Xbox or PS3?'.



Another game I left off the list is Demon Souls which got pretty good reviews and people seemed to like it.

well ps3 has better capabilities for one, and if you dont have ps3, its hard to say if uncharted was good/better.

Which is irrelevant to this thread and game of the year in general.
 
Re: Game of the Year

Why would they go to PS3?
Why wouldn't they? Microsoft doesn't own them. Neither does Nintendo. They're their own company.

The only reason they don't is because they can't work with it.

Question is why would they? And why don't those other games go to Xbox and PC?


It has nothing to do with them being 'bitches' but making decisions that you'll never understand. :ghoti:

Well for one it wouldn't be possible. As neither of the two would fit into the Xbox.

Decisions my ass, they did Half-Life 2 for PS3, didn't they? But for some reason, they refuse to release games like Left 4 Dead on the PS3.

lol using the 'they wouldn't fit' argument. :biglaugh:


a myth created by ps3 fanboys (including patriot). :cheers:

Just to clear the air, Valve had nothing to do with porting Half Life 2 to the PS3. That was all EA Games. Hence why the game wasn't as well received as the Xbox or PC version.
 
Re: Game of the Year

Some winners so far...

Spike (VGA's) -- Uncharted 2
Gamespot -- Demon's Souls
Yahoo! -- Uncharted 2
Gamespy -- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
 
Re: Game of the Year

Wow, look at that. Another PS3 exclusive winning game of the year.

:ghoti:
 
Re: Game of the Year

Demon's Souls looked super lame. I didn't play it, but I watched my brother play it and garnered zero interest in it from the 35 minutes I watched. It moved ungodly slow and the combat looked atrociously boring.
 
Re: Game of the Year

Not according to the reviews. ;)

(10 bucks says you haven't even played it)


Wrong. My buddy let me borrow it, and I must of played it an hour or so. Normally I would agree that it doesn't give the game justice to play so little, but it's just such a boring game. There's absolutely no story, and the combat is like Moo said -- atrociously boring. It's somewhat of a difficult game, and I would have no problem with that, if it was actually fun to play. Thank god I didn't drop $60 on it, despite planning to.
