im playing gta4 now!

So that's what Rockstar did with that $50 million that Microsoft paid for mediocre DLC.

I disagree aswell...GTA is not the best of year game..this year..

I prefer MGS 4...good story good gameplay and they should make movie of it!



For Wii I would say Super smash brawl

for PS3 yeah LBP is ok

Xbox I agree to

GTA 4 was a good game but not the game of the year



i would have given it to either

MGS4

or

GeOW2

Japanese people and euro*****s also made it happen. Get your head out of your @ss.

Another thing GTA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! It has immense success and the sales prove it . Not only that but true fans of the series like it, LIKE ME! In fact I think you have the worst taste for not liking it . I bet you like COD4 and think Home was gay like you also ? MGS4 was the shiznit but Hideo has gotten plenty of awards for his accomplishments .



BTW GTA ROX FTW! C.J and Niko would bust a cap in y'alls asses for talking smack.

I'm sure if there was a "Best Game Finale/Ending" or "Best Boss Fight", MGS4 would've won those.

Your first hurdle is that the game was made by Rockstar North, without you looking too much like a fool I'll let you google them and you can find out where they're located yourself.

But heres a clue: Rockstar Leeds, the people who make the PSP games, are based in Leeds.



Oh and I don't like GTAIV much. Everything else in the series I do like but not IV. It was awkwardly too much of a departure from the originals, yet it wasn't different enough. The same old story structure, same old events but with a god awful physics engine powering everything and them horrible looking, Doom 3 style shadows (it's either in a shadow or not, nothing inbetween and the shadow smoothing was fugly).

"Times Online reported that Grand Theft Auto IV recorded 609000 copies in first- day sales, in the UK."



Definately not just the USA that bought the game, pal. I'm sue if MGS released multi-platform it would have helped it's chances, even though the game WOULD be ugly on a 360.

This list is all skewed, come on your telling me mgs4 beat out farcry 2 in graphics. That BS, FC2 whas pretty much photo realistic. MGS 4 just looked nice, but its solid graphics, and optimization were nothing compared to FC2. Mgs 4 was the better game though. If we throw pc gaming, FC2 def won in graphics, and Crysis Warhead also killed, but its optimization was nowhere near fc2.





Also, in my personal opinion, Gta4 was the best Gta I've played. Quality over quantity, get that in your mind people.



Yeah San Andreas had a lot of *****, but how much did you actually enjoy doing. Come on San Andreas was so boring in some of its areas I can't believe you prefer it over San Andreas.

high def game using the same medium as GTA3...and you wonder why you can't do as much as before?



GTA4 is not a GOTY, though. It probably would be with all the expansions in place...which is probably why they obviously paid for that...accolade.

Now in case you haven't noticed or don't know Capcom (a very well known Japanese publisher) and is the current publisher of the Gta4, and because of them the game was a success . Proof?

Like I said get your head out of your @ss, the game DOES deserve game of the year and allot of people agree. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ANYWAYS HA HA! GTA like I said is not for everyone. OK? Get it trough your fat head buddy. If you don't like it then leave it alone and let the whole world enjoy it . I just don't get why you would hate on the Xbox and PS3 game (gta) when they are the best IMO well at least compared to Wiifit UGH!*pukes*, and all those games you listed are basically for the *****wii.

Seems like you need to stick with the Wii and you'll be happy or else you'll turn old and bitter but by the time you read this it'll be too late though +[

WHEN YOU MAKE A GAME BETTER THAN GTA4 THEN YOU CAN TALK SMACK SHlT IT EVEN KICKED POKEMON PLATINUM'S @SS MAN ! DUDE C'MON GET A CLUE!

GTA IV doesnt Deserve GOTY.

It was a good game,I'll give it that much, but the series is getting stale now. I didnt even beat the whole game because I got bored around halfway through.

If anything, Gears Of War 2 [although it was just released] or MGS4 deserve the spot - They are far better games.

And best Male voice should've gone to David Hayter, hands down.He was amazing in MGS4.

Wow I replied to you and instead the webpage decided to repost my old comment...wierd.

Anyways you're right, I think the only way to enjoy both games is to own both systems.

Thank god I have a well-paying job to allow me to own and support both :)



and thanks to your post, I am now wondering exactly how much richer I would be if I didnt buy games.....hmmm.....

my xbox live gamertag is "Dylantalon" add me. am i able to send pics on nxe?i'm not sure but ill check into it. dylantalon@aol.com is my email address, this is the internet so go there and you'll see pics of my 71 hdtv and 51in hdtv with my name on it in my room along side all of my system which range from nes, snes and so on up to having 3 broken 360s in my room and a ps3.



im not a fanboy, check pics if you like, this is the computer you are on so its not hard. gta 4 sucked cause they cut a lot of content out of the game, call of duty is a fps where they cut a lot of content also and you can tell by the flipping campaign which you can finish in 5 hours but the online is good. gta 4 is not relying on its multiplayer side, its relying on its story side and the graphics were horrible and the gameplay was horrible also and the reason is cause of disc space.



my point is, gta 4 is good to some people but gta san andreas was a way longer game and a better game than the newest gta game, why is that, it is cause of disc space and content. in gta, you pick up your cousin and the game is over. in san andreas it was a much longer game. san andreas was done on a dual layer dvd9 disc which was fine for last gen games cause they used less space on a disc.



killzone 2 is the best looking game, those are facts, not my opinion and if you think im wrong, you are a fanboy.

I couldn't careless what TV you have or console, posting your email address on here smart move :)



You're so misinformed i wasn't eve going to bother.



They didn't cut anything from COD4 the single player campaign was short because IW chose to make it short nothing to do with limitations.



Graphics where horrible?

Are you right in the head?



San Andreas was not on a Dual Layer DVD! They used a normal 4.7Gb disc again where you are misinformed. Sigh, why is everyone comparing it to San Andreas. Its the start of GTA games to come like GTA 3 was, where every game got better and better and it finished at SA.





Killzone 2 has nothing to do with this topic, its not even out yet! And how does me not agreeing to that make me a fanboy?



Please read up a little more, might make you look less stupid.

"blame yourself cause the sales were great."



"graphics were horrible and the gameplay was horrible also and the reason is cause of disc space. "



Graphics and disk space doesn't apply to this game . You never played the game like you said yet you seem pretty sure it looks HORRIBLE?

You must be looking at your reflection on the TV.



"i cant wait for killzone 2 which is an awesome game cause ive seen it and played it"







"or cause their system of choice doesnt have a game that matches up to killzone on a technological aspect."







"my point is, gta 4 is good to some people but gta san andreas was a way longer game and a better game than the newest gta game, why is that, it is cause of disc space and content. in gta, "



Again with the disk space. Get over it you moron!

When GTA4 was being created (back when san andreas was released) Blu ray did not Exist and GTA4 was originally planned to fit in a Double layer DVD regardless of the PS3's superior space.

If you didn't know that then you need to read more adding more crap to the game may slow it down even more . This game runs at about 12fps.







"haters wont hype killzone 2 because they are jealous that they dont have a ps3"









"gta 4 sucked and was a success because of a lot of people being a sheep."







"i knew that gta 4 would suck from the videos"





"killzone 2 is the best looking game, those are facts, not my opinion"



"you flipping idiots ate it up and bought the crap and now are complaining when the game gets goty. "



Umm no I'm not I'm glad it did . Point proven.

gta 4 sucked, and thats that. to all you idiots that are trying decipher my posts, youre a loser. anyway, as i said, dylantalon@aol.com, i have 2 big screen hdtvs in my room cause i'm a big gamer that wants to see everything clearly im doing in my games. i have gta 4 and if you want to add my xbl/psn-dylantalon, you can check my history and see that i have gta 4 and finished it.



anyway, i will stand by what i said previously so all the jealous fools can hear me, gta 4 sucked and could have been better and was suppose to have a lot more content in the game. anyway, if you dont believe that then you are a fool. if you played the previous gta games and played gta 4, you will realise that this game had less content that was in san andreas and i know they are 2 different games but why is the next gen version so short and lacking?



anyway, you people above me that badmouthed me cause you are all jealous, have a nice day. remember, you all had to hail me up.

that would by Crysis

Crysis was a grafixwhore lol.

I was using a 9700 gt at the time all futile at max settings lmao.



@dylantalon

Again with the disk space. Get over it you moron!

When GTA4 was being created (back when san andreas was released) Blu ray did not Exist and GTA4 was originally planned to fit in a Double layer DVD regardless of the PS3's superior space.

If you didn't know that then you need to read more adding more crap to the game may slow it down even more . This game runs at about 12fps.

there are no games which don't make use of compression in one form or another



even metal gear solid 4 used it



you asked me which shooter looks best and I answered, it's not my fault if you have to keep changing your questions to make up for your lack of ability

" dvd9 isnt enough for gears 2 and thats why it was compressed . you idiots will never understand."



DISK SPACE AND COMPRESSION WILL NEVER DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF THE GAME ! IT'S ALL UP TO THE DEVELOPER . IF XBOX WANTED THEY COULD DO DOUBLE DVD . YES THEY STILL DO THAT BUT SEEING HOW YOU'RE AN IDIOT. I DOUBT YOU'LL GET IT THROUGH YOUR FAT HEAD!

THE ONLY THING THAT GETS AFFECTED IF ANYTHING IS IN THE SOUND AND VIDEO CRITERIA . IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GAMEPLAY !



AGAIN ! GRAFIX/COMPRESSION HAS NOTHING TO WITH HOW WELL THE GAME IS GOING TO DO WITH THE MARKET. THERE'S ALSO A LIMIT ON HOW HIGH THE RESOLUTION OF THE TEXTURES CAN BE . THE HIGHER RESOLUTION THEY ARE THE LOWER THE FRAME RATE IS GOING TO BE YOU STUPID *****N *****! IN OTHER WORDS YOU CAN STORE IT IN THE BLURAY BUT YOU CAN'T READ IT FAST ENOUGH THAT'S WHY PS3 HAS MANDATORY HDD INSTALLS TO HELP WITH THE READING . THE SMALLER LASER DIODE READS AND TRANSFERS AT A LOWER SPEED THAN REGULAR DVDS .







LET ME TELL YOU THAT IF YOU CHOOSE A GAME JUST FOR IT'S GRAFIX,...YOU DESERVED TO GET SODOMIZED BY SHAQ'S SIZE 24'. IN FACT I HOPE IT HAPPENS TO YOU . FACT!!

i meant to ask ' when will the xbox 360 have an exclusive game again that will get best graphics of the year'? anyway, every year until the next consoles are out, ps3 will win that title.

well, it's really hard to define what makes a goty, but i suppose it fits the bill.



besides. i'm looking at the VGA winners, and damn, i suppose you can say the judges did their jobs well.



at least VGA's winning list is not as poorly constructed as the one from Time Magazine. hehehe. man, what do they know about videogames anyways? leave the "GOTY" listing to the gamers. hehehe. i appreciate Time for their magazine and news and features and all. but please. not for videogames.

PS3 sux.



GTAIV is teh best!!

dumba$$. it's not about sales. like what the guy said above me, it's about quality. there are alot of games better than gta4. if sales equals game of the year, then can you justify Assassin's Creed being a repetitive game with $h!tty gameplay? i don't care what numbers you throw me at. we all know GTA4 is a bestseller, but it's not that good of a game. even though i'm an mgs4 fan, i'd rather have Gears of War 2 bag this than GTA 4. what a stupid reply. you even posted links. irrelevant as hell. it's clear your head can't comprehend the meaning of Game of the Year. it's not about sales, you dumba$$.





*facepalm*

i posted the reply to another psot. didn't know ignorance is contagious. i better stay away from you. haha.



dumba$$. it\'s not about sales. like what the guy said above me, it\'s about quality. there are alot of games better than gta4. if sales equals game of the year, then can you justify Assassin\'s Creed being a repetitive game with $h!tty gameplay? i don\'t care what numbers you throw me at. we all know GTA4 is a bestseller, but it\'s not that good of a game. even though i\'m an mgs4 fan, i\'d rather have Gears of War 2 bag this than GTA 4. what a stupid reply. you even posted links. irrelevant as hell. it\'s clear your head can\'t comprehend the meaning of Game of the Year. it\'s not about sales, you dumba$$. *facepalm*

Its graphics were revolutionary! Far Cry 2 graphics were good, but it wasn't as varied and rich as MGS4. It was the same thing again and again in FC2--brown rocks, plains, trees. For all we know they could've repeated huge sections of the map and the player would never know...

I wasn't hyped up for the game, actually. I was busy paying attention to other games. If I wasn't hyped up and I was disappointed, you know how big it was.

I disliked every GTA game up to GTA4 because of all the flaws within them.



GTA4 on the other hand fixed every flaw within every other game. The shooting system is great, regardless of whether you're using lock-on or not. The best is that if you're using lock-on, the enemy still has to be in your line of sight, so it's not like you can just lock-on and then it'll lock-on to the nearest enemy or a random person running 5 miles down the street "BEHIND" you.



GTA4 also had a really amazing driving system, as the system turned VERY realistic and made driving through the cities different than games like the original GTA games, the Driver games, etc. It also put most racing games to shame since it not only has realistic driving, but also car damage is factored in along with some nice checkpoint races.



The storyline and missions were also really good. If people want to attempt to say it's the same thing, yet praise Metal Gear Solid 4, then how about we just list how Metal Gear Solid 4 is the exact same as every game in the series aside from the fact that they upgraded the shooting system as well(MGS4 easily has the best shooting system.) Hey look. Let's go through MGS4 which is just like going through MGS1, 2, 3, and Portable Ops. Game of the year!!.



How about the fact that some other people said that GTA4 is repetitive you just drive places then shoot people, drive other places, shoot people, etc. Oh wait a minute. Let's look at MGS4. Infact, let's look at every MGS released. Go to the next area, wait for a minute in each intersection so you have enough time to run across or crawl across without being seen etc.



Some people need to stop being hypocrites.

You actually make a lot of sense there dylantaion you bring up some pretty good points.

couldnt put it betr myself

"Why do you care so much about what other people think about a console if you don't care about what they say about you?" is what I would say if I were trying to be rational, but since rationality just doesn't work with 'people like you' (I hear they don't like to be called the "F-word"... you know what I mean), I'll have to resort to something you could understand.



Mah xbox360 is liek, waaaaaaaaay moer powerfull tahn ur Piece-of-S*** 3. Teh cell be is liek, totally underpowered since its jsut a singlecore proccessor taht distributes cacluatons to teh SPEs to maek stuff faster-liek. Teh triple-core proccessor in teh 360 runs simulateos threads at 3.2GHz aech which maeks it wel-siuted for handleng compression over teh Cell BE which would haev 2 maek teh SPU stop waht it's doin an start decompressing teh data in a free SPE liek a bottleneck. Of course, msot developers culd find ways aruond tihs liek pre-installing teh data on teh harddrive so teh tiem to raed the BD is cut uot of teh tiem it taeks to uncompress teh data. An' explain how Fallout 3 looks bettr on teh 360 tehn PS3...



In all seriousness though, if you could get anything out of that last paragraph it does make sense. The 360 and PS3 are almost equal in processing capability. It's just the way each system works. I find the perfect example for explaining this to a n00b is the Fibonacci algorithm. There are 2 basic ways to implement an algorithm to find a number in the Fibonacci sequence, recursively and iteratively. In this case, the recursive function, when called, will end up doing the same calculations over and over again and eventually will give an answer. While, the iterative function will give the answer in the time it takes to go through each needed calculation since it only goes through each one exactly once which saves on time and memory. Anyway, what I'm trying to get across here is the fact there is no "best" anything. In most cases, recursive functions are MUCH faster than iteration, though in this case, the iterative function is exponentially faster.



Now, when you take that over to the PS3/360 "war" replace the fibonacci problem with online functionality, the recursive function with PS3, and the iterative function with 360. Online functionality on the 360 has worked from the beginning extremely efficiently while it's not as great on the processing side(however small the difference really is). And Sony has taken a long time to get their online functions fully established (if you can call Home really established yet) and it's still having problems with the stuff they overlooked. For example, after resetting the default system settings by holding the power button for 7 seconds(that is just the video/audio settings, not the HDD), my trophies were permanently disabled and Burnout Paradise is completely unplayable on my account. I can make a new account, though the original gamesave isn't shareable. Since the gamerscore has been a part of Xbox Live since the launch of the 360, I'll never expect anything like that to happen on my Gamertag.



Ya, and Wii has all the consoles beat in the Homebrew scene...



LAWL, I just realized I'm typing this in an article about GTA4 getting the GOTY award.

Explain the difference between HDMI 1.2 and 1.3 other than "it's better" and I might actually give a crap about what you say. Emphasis on the "might".

now the reason it was an ordinary dvd dl was because of the xbox 360, the pc version is over 12 gig and they ported it from the 360 to ps3, hench the origional onnline problems, its good for the multiplayer but after awhile even that gets boring, call of duty waw should of done better, mgs deffinetely won graphics because the emense amount of space they had to work with, but it doesnt deserve game of the year as good as it is, ive seen films shorter than the ending movie, and thats just the ending movie, they went way over the top with cut scenes although the references to earlier games were quite commical but the best graphics was purely for the cut scenes, left 4 dead is way over hyped, zombie mode on cod is far better and you can battle each other, not to mention you get to royally screw berlin in it, no offence but 80,000 germans to 2.5 million russians, thats just quality

forza might be better than gt5 but reality check douche it aint

and ive noticed lots of issues with graphics of fc2, if they game come fully patched before it was released then maybe it would be different but it still hasn't been updated, you get floor tiling, cliff tiling and you get graphic glitches in certain areas on the hugh map which i must give it credit for that, lots to do but repetitive going back and forward guard post after guard post, got so bored i got myself stuck between a tree and the inside of a cliff

the best multiplayer game not LBP or Cod4?
