Subject: Should Halo 3 be Game of the Year?

An open window. I must eat the horizon?

When OpDumbo looks at the thread title. It's a GOTY thread.


With Halo 3 in it. Anyways I was making a general statement. Are you following me around or something?

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

It should be either Mass Effect or Orange Box. Hell, I'd even be happy if CoD4 or Super Mario Galaxy won it. Don't get me wrong, I love Halo. But there was something in Halo 3 that made me say "ok, I'm done" and I never looked back. It was probably the horrible maps and Melee system.

Portal should be GOTY. It may be short, but it was best damn game I've played in a long time. Oh yeah, don't forget the Portal Song!

Runner-up is Mass Effect, which is amazing in so many ways.

Yes, Portal should be Game of the Year. Although short, think of the innovation in that game. Who knew that the only thing you needed to bypass a room full of turrets was a blue and an orange intradimensional portal, and a couple of boxes?

I haven't played Mass Effect. Everyone says it's amazing, so I guess it is.


Hey, DAT G0DAM FUNK, there's a couple of mentions of The Orange Box. Mostly Portal mentions, but Portal is still an Orange Box title.

No, I'm following topics that have replies that aren't total Blam.

I could say you were following me checking the post/thread ratio...

Topic = GOTY

Topic's subject = Halo; worthy

So one could say that it's a goty thread more than a h3 thread.


Very well, good sir. I retract my previous statement regarding this thread, and will henceforth never visit this thread again.








Unarmed, that is.

I finally got round to playing Bioshock, and I can see why that tv channel voted it game of the year.

The orange box? That's a game? I thought it was a box containing fair-to-middling games in it. Portal was fun, but not revolutionary.


Okay, so where would Half-Life 2 and its episodes be in the "fair-to-middling" rating scale?

Loading...

Its 2008 a new year i believe,
2007 game of the year awards have been decided.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to flame you, parthath, but I was just trying to say I seriously think Half-Life 2 should be past just fair. Not trying to attack you or anything, if it seemed like I was doing so.

Hype of the year, biggest video game marketing explosion evAr yes

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Not by a long shot. Single player was a rollercoster like experience and the online play downgraded from Halo 2. Broken melee system, horrid sniper aiming,and a ranking system shattered to pieces. When I win 20+ games IN A ROW and I'm still the same level you know there is some problems going on.

Nah man. I understand what you mean. I'm just going by game reviews and majority of people I have asked. I base fair to middling between 8 and 9, and that's just what it averaged. 8.7

I'm sorry if my post seemed defensive; I'm just that way when I talk. I say something, and take displeasure in saying it again, but I cut myself loose long enough to add to it instead of quoting myself.


Ok. Thanks for letting me know.

COD4 > Halo3. But then again their two different games that can't be compared.

No... no it should not.

I am 100%, completely, fully, no ifs ands or buts, in agreement with stimulated. Halo 3 doesn't deserve to be in the running, much less win.


And it is agreed.

Exactly. See what happens when you have had a long term exposure in the flood. This Vs that. That Vs this. Then in gets welded to your head and you can't resist. It's like a permanent habit.

I find it interesting that everyone in this ENTIRE SITE seems to have completely forgotten about Crysis. You look at CoD4 and Halo 3 (both great games in all respects) and you laugh at them, because Crysis is just whoa. Honestly, IF you can find a computer that runs it, you must play Crysis. End of discussion.
