It deserve it !
i thought it'll be
RE4


oh and Half-Life 2 [XBox] got #7
 
yea thats kinda made me sad :(
FEAR was one of the best this year
 
I can see how they picked COD2 over FEAR ..fear has nice graphics and excellent combat but it's a corridor crawl nonetheless with gimmicky combat ...CoD2 is a jack of trades that excels in many areas not just combat
 
Indeed, F.E.A.R. was nothing special. First person max payne without the actually stuff that mad max payne good.
 
you kiddin me =\
FEAR got a great storyline, with some cool action and horror
its the best FPS this year imo
 
RE4 should have won GOTY and FEAR should have gotten best FPS. The only thing they got right was that BF2 won best online multiplayer.
 
its kinda hard to me to choose between RE4 and Civ4 for Game Of The Year
RE4 was a great action game, shoot heads, kick etc..
Civ4, played it all night long, ...addicition -_-
 
I've played CoD2. It's utterly linear, predictable, boring, and repetitive. You can't take two steps in that game without experiencing the feeling that the developers are holding your hand. Fear, for any of its flaws, is still miles superior to the yawn-inducing retread that is the Call of Duty series.

I really don't hold much stock in GameSpy's GOTY awards, or much of their journalism for that matter.

I find myself disagreeing with a lot of their views, and not just in that "well, we have a difference of opinion" sort of way. I mean like "my god, you guys are ****ing idiots". And when Halo 2 gets GOTY (a game that should nowhere near qualify) over Half-Life 2, then it only shows the glaring contradictions, inconsistencies, and foolishness of their journalism.

They should get onto their knees and pray to God that they have Fargo who is the sole redeeming aspect of their sad institution.

Yeah, but F.E.A.R. not in the Top 10? That's just silly.

I had much more fun with CoD 2 than with F.E.A.R., but F.E.A.R. did have me thinking about the story, and how to flank those bloody enemies without getting myself killed :D

CoD 2 was just "Throw some smoke if there's an MG, and if not, just blast 'em" albeit with very nice graphics and cool weapons :p
 
Face it. FEAR is a sucky game. I'm glad it's not in the top 10. I've just gained some more respect for Gamespy.

But still... I prefer Civ3 to Civ4...

COME ON THE KASAVIN!
 
Face it. FEAR is a sucky game.

Nope, it isn't :p
It's got a much better story than CoD 2, it's got more thinking to it than CoD 2 (Action-wise) and it's got bullet-time.

And dismemberments.



Everyone loves dismemberments.

He's just lucky we don't have bullet-time smileys or he'd be definitely pwned :p
 
If somebody can actually say FEAR is a shit game, then I weep for how low standards have fallen.
 
I loved FEAR..though not the Game of the Year..still pretty damn good. Anybody that holds a drop of water to Gayspys opinions need some help anyway.
 
What qualifies as a "game in this year," be released between January 2005, and December 31st, 2005?

I was wondering why I didn't see WoW, that's all. Since WoW was released in late November, 2004.

Lay off the doobie.
 
I saw that mistake I made, and I edited it, and since I was actually PLAYING WoW I minimized and didn't check to make sure the edit went properly.

That's messed :\

Anyways, all fixed now.
 
I never had much respect for Gamespy :thumbs:
 
COD 2 was just the same old crap from all of the other WW2 shooters out there. At least F.E.A.R. had bullet-time, an interesting plot, and good A.I..

Oh yeah the A.I. :D

Yeah, it was very, very advanced indeed. They actually suppressed you while a few others would move in closer. (Which would result to a shotgun blast in the head, but you'd take damage from the others D: )
 
I actually thought both F.E.A.R and COD2 were pretty average games.
 
Personally, I don't even think they should have had a "Game of the Year" this year. Every reviewer should have stood up and said "No games deserved it. Go back to making original games and stop milking the system."

With that in mind, I enjoyed FEAR over COD2. For the sheer reason that I could have played COD2 more than a year ago. It was called COD. And also, that I could have played COD over a year before that. It was called MOH:AA.

wow bullet time, how revolutionary.

an interesting plot? ww2 is interesting to me.

the ai in cod2 is actually reasonably good, there were some shitty moments but all in all i think cod 2 is better. though i didnt particularly like either and regret buying both.

did you ever think that these are GAMESPYS opinions? if you want to make the "right" game of the year why dont you make your own? and see how many people give a shit. no one is right, you cant just say that game sucks or this game is good and have it fly for everyone. obviously the editors have a different taste than you - get over it.

And who are you to bag on people for their opinions? YOU get over it. I'm not claiming, nor have I seen anyone else claim, that they could produce a better game. And in the instance of say, a community made mod, you'd be right. But seeing how a lot of us people payed for these games. I believe we all have the right criticize them, and also criticize other peoples opinions about them.

So, on with the gamespy bashing.

Apparently you took my post entirely out of context. By "Bagging" on other peoples opinions and "criticizing" them are entirely different. An example would be "Get over it." That's not seeing their point of view, or showing them a different light. It's being a dick. On the other hand "I think this was better because this and that" is a criticism. Or "I disagree because of that and this."

Contradiction? Hardly. Now **** off.
 
Yay I don't have any of the games in the top 10, aside from HL2 but I have that for PC. Go me!
 
i'm guessing that most of the people bashing civ. 4 for being the goty haven't even actually played it, and are just saying 'zomg it's like boring lolz.'

For PC games it is. But I can understand it not being in the top 10 games total. Not nearly.

I haven't played it, so i can't cast judgement on it. I just gotta say, even though its been getting great reviews, it doesnt hold any interest to me. Maybe i gotta see it in action or something first i guess. I'm sure its as good or near as good as everyone says though.

As for FEAR and COD2. Got FEAR, and was really disappointed at how Monolith screwed such a good opportunity up. They have great AI, interesting and somewhat original story idea, kickass combat, and yet they managed to make it incredibly tedious and dull through lack of imagination in level design and gameplay design. Good game, but man could they have made it so much better.

Played the demo of COD2. Seemed exactly like the first one with same graphics. Nothing great there for me. I'll rent it and finish it someday.

for the type of game it is, it is marvelous it's just that it's not a hugely popular genre, especially compared to fps so i guess that's why so many people are in a rage about it.
