Meh, their GOTY list is not of much value to me, since it's purely subjective.

Still, I very much prefer BioShock over CoD4. The modern setting was a real downer for me in CoD4.

And Halo 3 continues to get snubbed.

Fuckers. This "COD4 is better than Halo 3" school of thought is something a lot of people are going to look back on and laugh about in two or three years.

I'm dying to argue with you, but I haven't had a chance to play Halo 3 yet.

Call of Duty 4 is AWESOME. I wouldn't have a hard time imagining it's better than Halo 3.

Anyway, I'm getting Halo 3 for Christmas, so I'll be sending you a PM in a month or so telling you that you're wrong. ;-)

I'm glad they gave CoD4 all those awards. I got some good entertainment out of the whining in this thread about it. Call of Duty 4 continuing to deliver on all fronts.

ummm really tho COD4 is a far better game than Halo3 is I have both played alot of both and basically from halo3 i was..so what was all the hype about its very good but not godly shooter(I never played 1 or 2 so came at it with fresh eyes).

COD4 does just about everything better. Single player is way more interesting and dramatic experience so far. Multiplayer ..Its been discussed by tons it is just fantastic.
I loved bioshock its my single player game of the year for sure. I loved Orange box its my best Value for sure of the year but TF2 on 360 has been disappointing due to 360 limits.
So overall game of the year considering both single and multiplayer aspects..Ya COD4 is it.

While it does suck that games like Bioshock didn't get any props, I still feel CoD 4 is a very worthy winner in those categories.

Congratulations to the guys at IW.

Not really. It's a pretty generic SP with a lot of crappy stuff/levels and a few good ones. The game is really just a MP game with SP tacked on.

I thought COD4's single player game was pretty sweet, even with all the scripting which I thought I've grown tired of. It's definitely on the upper echelon of FPS experiences I've had.

The "Death from Above" level itself was worth at least a few awards.

As long as they arent giving it GOTY for single player and are only basing it on multiplayer, I dont have that much of a problem with CoD4 being awarded. Single player in CoD4 was just so boring aside from one or two parts.

I would consider buying this game if I wasn't playing Halo 3 nearly every night since it released.

At least I have Mario Galaxy to keep working on between Halo sessions. :D

not so much. cod4 is superior in pretty much every way.

the only thing halo 3 has over it imho is co-op but i'll take a single player that isn't rehashed for a second time and multiplayer that actually feels fun and fresh rather than dated and boring.

Great picks.

It's nice to see 3rd party games getting competitive in the GOTY realm. Infinity Ward deserves a lot of credit.

Actually, people will look back and realize that Halo 3 didn't bring enough new content to the table to raise enough eyebrows. Halo 3 had already been surpassed in gameplay by the time Rainbow Six: Vegas had released. Halo 3 is a lot of fun, but its gameplay is starting to feel very dated.

Call of Duty 4 is a huge step forward for online FPS, Halo 3 was incremental at best.

So...TF2 has better multiplayer than COD4? Alright, as long as I know it's COD4's single player that pushed it above Orange Box's single player offerings for game of the year.

I should probably get this so-called COD4.



Is it worth if for the single player alone?
Click to expand...

Absolutely. Best FPS I've ever played. Length is perfect IMO, never gets stale because it just keeps movin.

You'll play it more than once because it's just so well done.

After failing to kill you, your uncle kidnaps your girlfriend, burns down the orphanage where you and she grew up, then takes her there. You go there and have a chance to save her, but the Darkness holds you back, forcing you to watch as your uncle shoots her in the head. Your character then kills himself, triggering the hell stage.

It's a very cinematic scene. Extremely well done. Probably one of my favorite cut-scenes ever.

Held up to a window in front of you and shot in the head right before your eyes, with you being completely helpless to prevent it. Twas nasty stuff indeed, but it's also the event that propels the storyline forward and makes you want to kill that mofo uncle of yours.

I had no idea that I cared for any of the characters in that game until then. That scene was literally painful to experience.

What gets me most about that game, and that scene in particular is how much humanity can come across in small ways through simulation. The graphics on the character models weren't the best, but the animations conveyed a great deal of body language - and that alone made the people in the game seem more... real. Real enough to communicate the pathos of that scene perfectly.

I don't think I'll forget it anytime soon, and thats a compliment.

I think we will look back and wonder how it got 17 10/10s according to gamerankings, the same way we look back at the Halo 2 scores (32 10/10s).

I still don't understand how Team Fortress has the best multiplayer of the year and Portal was the best Puzzle game, but Call of Duty 4 somehow jumped in front of The Orange Box for Game of the Year.

Well it's probably my favorite game of the year, it simply has too many gameplay faults to rise above the elite games from this year. I had way more fun playing through ME than Bioshock, though.

EDIT - I definitely should be higher than CoD4. Obviously.

Isn't it hilarious? Halo went from being the most "overrated" game around to being the most underrated in a flash.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty is ridiculously and obnoxiously overrated. Like ... wow. COD4 is fun and all, but it's still the same game we've been getting annual sequels of. I'm not even saying Halo should rate higher than it ... I'm saying that really, any of the more inventive shooters this year should.

Actually you haven't been getting annual sequels of Infinity Ward made Call of Duty's.
