The SHH Game of the Year awards 2008

Also surprised about how well Halo Wars did especially since it's a Strategy game. :huh:

Strategy games can get pretty solid sales.
Starcraft has sold 9.5 million units and Dawn Of War has sold 4 million units.
The fact it has "Halo" tagged on it was probably the main reason though, I would think.
 
After finishing up Fable 2 and Fallout 3 DLC, I'm probably going to jump on that game. :o
 
Stop. Just stop. You don't believe that. You don't honestly think the game has poor visuals, poor sound etc etc. You might not like the game, which is fine but you dont believe its of poor quality. You are just saying that so you can come off as "someone who knows better". You arent fooling anybody.

Too many movies not enough game, the graphics make the characters look like porcelain dolls, character animation IN GAME is stiff and unrealistic, the voice work is way over zealous and cheesy, and the gameplay is stiff and boring. Not to mention it sticks to the same old stale game mechanics for the last 4 games! Bring something new to the table already other than terrible multiplayer. And the story is silly. Let's be honest here. It comes off as a bad saturday morning cartoon that takes itself way to seriously. And Solid Snake is a straight up rip off of the characters Snake Plissken and Kyle Reese...

Don't believe me?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Plissken
References in other media
Snake Plissken was referenced in the Metal Gear video game series. The main protagonist of the games, Solid Snake is named after Plissken and like him, is a special forces operative. In Metal Gear Solid 2, Solid Snake goes undercover under the name of Iroquois Pliskin, causing him to be called Pliskin and Snake throughout the game. His famous eye-patch is also referenced by Naked Snake/Big Boss and Solidus Snake. Furthermore, in both movies, as in most Metal Gear Solid video games, the hero - Snake - begins his adventure with a small stealth vehicle (which he is forced to abandon, as soon as he gets out of it), both Plisken and Solid Snake are injected with a pathogen that threatens to kill them should they fail the mission and both are stripped of their gear and weapons near the end of the story.

Quit trying to bait

You know you're full of it, just stop. You don't believe that. You're not that stupid. You can not enjoy the game, i mean thats a given. The story isn't for everyone, it takes a little thought to process everything, but saying things like the character movement is stiff just shows you either A.) have never played the game or B.) you just haven't a clue as to what you are talking about.
Like i said, you are just one of those ppl who sees something popular and decides to be the one to go against it, so you can "appear" to know more than the avg individual, thats not fooling anyone here. You just don't like the story and you don't have the patience for a stealth title, but thats as far as your real complaints go. You don't actually think the game looks and sounds bad.
 
Or I'm just simply disagreeing with you and you can't respect that because you're a fan boy and act like I'm kicking your dog. It's a fricken game. One that not everyone thinks is the greatest thing ever. I think it's full of flaws. Get over it.

No, you're not. You have entered a technical level that can be argued with logically. Anyone who isn't blind can see how good these graphics are. Anyone with functioning ears can hear how good the sound is. Anyone who does the slightest research knows that Snake is a homage to 80s action stars like Kyle Reese and Snake Pliskin. Kojima drew from those movie heroes for inspiration of Solid Snake. People do that all the time in entertainment. Anyone who plays the games knows that MGS gameplay evolves with each installment.

You're just baiting.

Call me what you want but i dont buy it. I dont buy that you think the game is poor visually and poor in the sound dept and is overall terrible in the tech department, i just think you are lying. You know why you are coming in here trashing the game, i dont have to spell it out for you. Like i said before, you arent fooling anyone.
 
Since he's arguing against facts, I think you both should do yourselves a favor and put him on your ignore list. :up:
 
Hah, I don't really care that much or anything. I've just developed bad habits of feeding trolls over my internet years.

Wow. You actually think an opinion on this game is fact, as long as your opinion is that it's a good game. Grow up people.

And let's see the evolution of gameplay at work.

And I'll give the om


Boxes to hide in...check.

Exclamation mark over peoples heads...check.

Story centers around giant robots...AGAIN!!!!!!...check.

Those games think they're much more clever than they actually are.

And I'll give you the homage thing.

I'm argueing against your opinions. Which apprently you can't handle the idea that someone doesn't like the game. You're not even argueing. I've given reasons and examples why I don't like the game. Why the graphics suck and so on. And all I get is "NO THEY DON'T!" Whatever. This all started when I said it wasn't good, which is my opinion and shared by even a couple of people I know. I think there sophomoric to the very core. Really that's how I'd describe the entire game, sophmoric.

And trust me, I'm not alone in hating this terrible game.

Except number 3. Number 3 is a dumb reason to hate a game. He's basically saying the graphics are better so he hates it?:whatever:
 
Hah, you must be a professional troll.

We don't care if you like the game or not, but you just can't argue with how good the graphics are. That's not an opinion. It's like saying 2001 has bad special effects. They may not be your 'style' or whatever, but considering the actual graphics are considered to be some of the finest of this console gen even a full year later to call them terrible is beyond silly.

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your stuff, we all know you're just going to keep going and baiting, so it's pointless. If I thought there was a real discussion here I might, but we both know very well there's not.

Better late than never, I voted Burnout Paradise.

You've pretty much stated what i was going to.

DACMAN, no one is arguing against your opinion, which is that you didnt enjoy the game, but saying the tech is poor is not an opinion. The tech behind MGS4 is NOT poor, as Teardrop said, they are considered to be some of the best this gen, right now. Period. There is no opinion on that. Altho i dont feel that is your real opinion anyway. I know you dont think the visuals are bad, you are just trying to come off like you know better.

As for the rest of the ppl who are with you in "hating this terrible game". They are just like you. They're just looking to be the ones who are different.

So far I have put so much time into this game, I finally got my "Get 6 of the days best scores during an 8 player online freeburn" Achievement which took forever.

Bring on Big Surf Island.

Although I voted Super Smash Bros Brawl, which has the most hours clocked of any of my games over this year. :D

I wish it was broken into categories. Theres a few games up there id like to have voted for. Far Cry 2 is one of my favorite FPS's iv ever played.
 
With FUEL being a (potential) disappointment, I think I'll finally have to get Burnout Paradise.
I loved the demo back in the day, but then just forgot about it :huh:

Get it, it's the best Burnout ever made. You can find it for 20 bucks brand new. Plus Criterion are contiually supporting it with additions and the new one coming "Big Surf Island" is nearly as big as one of the sections of the main area.

It's pretty awesome, and for twent bucks I couldn't pass it up either. I hope Feul ends up being good, but I'm not holding my breath.

Edit: Plus jumping into an online freeburn with up to seven other people is awesome, as you guys can pretty much just drive around crashing into each other, setting up custom races, or doing online challenges...there is just a huge amount to do in the game.
 
Hah, you must be a professional troll.

Right. Name calling. You sure are winning this arguement. :whatever: Again, I wasn't even talking to you.
 
So to summerize...some like MGS4, some don't. Noone is wrong as it's all opinion.

Moving on...

Then why did you quote me in post #212?

That's really not what this is about. It's just kind of what DACMAN has try to spin it as. No one cares about his opinion of the quality of the game, but he's trying to argue on a technical level. It's all baiting and such, so you're probably right, but meh
