Top games not worthy of game of the year 2011

Metacritic rates Batman Arkham City and Elder Scrolls V Skyrim as the ones to look out for, but more often than not the game with the highest score doesn't always get the vote.

Only one of those is actually a nominee for spike GOTY and that's Uncharted 3 and his right is a good games but the 2nd felt better.

SoapShoes4537d ago (Edited 4537d ago )

I completely and respectfully disagree. The third was my favorite and the improved combat really made it better. Also the stealth missions didn't suck like the one in UC2 where it felt tacked on(the one in the dark with security guards) albeit the guards weren't that much smarter in this one.

Although they are both better than 98% of games out there. As far as GOTY awards go, I don't give a crap. Great games at the beginning of the year don't have a chance and almost always give way to hype of games at the end of the year(or worse games that have not even been released when they decide who wins it).

Tarantino_Life4537d ago

There is not a single moment in UC3 that even comes close to the quality of writing seen in UC2 - http://www.youtube.com/watc... I just miss these moments so much in UC3. Hope ND learn from their mistakes and make an amazing game which genuinely beats UC2. UC2 was the much better game IMO and will forever remain one of if not the best game of this generation.

SoapShoes4537d ago (Edited 4537d ago )

^Shut up, troll. Fyi, stop stating opinion as a fact. On that note, I liked the story in UC3 better as well not to mention I thought it started off so much better. UC2's story didn't start off well to me which is why I put the first over it in terms of story also.

majin-vagina4536d ago

1. Dead Space 2
2. LA Noire
3. Portal 2
4. Forza 4

...................... Even though Xenoblade more than deserves the award, it will probably be ignored by most people................... So the real competition lies between:

1. Skyrim
2. Arkham City
3. Skyward Sword

AngryTypingGuy4536d ago

Haven't played Uncharted 3, but I'm willing to bet it deserves GOTY consideration, and I KNOW that Gears of Mother F'N' War 3 deserves it. But my game of the year, despite a few bugs, is of coure, Skyrim.

When an Elder Scrolls game comes out, everything else is second. I can't wait to see what a next gen Elder Scrolls game will be like!

DatNJDom814536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

whoever says Uncharted 2 is better than Uncharted 3 must be on some powerful crystal meth. Not only were the grafix an improvement, but so were the animation, the level design, the action, the feeling of accomplishment, the urge to replay the campaign again, the multiplayer. Uncharted 3 is going to win GOTY on many sites and win many awards. I could care less who spike gives game of the year to. what the hell is a spike tv video game awards show anyway? its so predictable that I can name who they will give it to. Batman Arkham City. I'm not taking anything away from the game by the way. from all the games I played this year, Uncharted 3 is hands down the best. Now please disagree away.

Also, just an FYI, its another trash article from the msxbox site. lol. dont even bother reading it. basically they said that these following games shouldnt win game of the year:

MW3, UC3, gears 3, Zelda, minecraft.

Yea lets add gears 3 and minecraft so that we can downplay UC and Zelda. so amateurish, its LOL worthy!

UC2 seemed better to a lot of people and part of that was that we'd never seen a game of that level of quality and polish before. UC3 would have had to have been miles ahead of UC2 to have the same impact, and that's asking quite a lot.

CGI-Quality4537d ago

But for many, including myself, Uncharted 3 WAS miles ahead of Uncharted 2. Just because a sequel is "better" than a predecessor, doesn't always mean a higher Meta anyway. I mean, would most people argue that Gears of War 2 is better than 3, probably not.

ASTAROTH4537d ago

Its the same KZ2 was better than 3 BS some fanboys came with. KZ3 is better than 2 and U3 is better than 2 no matter the score. Theres always something to complain... you cant pleased a whore!!!

Thatguy-3104537d ago

Uncharted 3 divided fans ..many think its a good game others feel like it took a step back. I for one prefer Among thieves but each to their own opinion

kneon4537d ago

Both UC3 and KZ3 improved in many areas over their predecessors, but I can't think of any area in which the improvement was a huge leap.

I for one preferred KZ2 over KZ3 because I liked the dark gritty feel of war as portrayed in KZ2. But that is entirely subjective and has nothing to do with the quality of either game.

MsclMexican4536d ago

Can someone please explain to me why msxbox-world is telling us that Uncharted 3 does not deserve GOTY.

The same guys responsible for "why you should buy gears of war 3 over Uncharted 3"

Remember that fiasco?

Batman, Skyrim, Uncharted, Portal all have an equal chance.

I feel Skyrim will win even though it is broken as hell on PS3, but my vote will go to Uncharted.

It was simply the best experience I had playing a game this year

StraightPath4536d ago

Skyrim
Batman AC
Portal 2
Zelda Skyward Sword

Main competitors for GOTY

however there are alot of runners up for game of the week when they came out. Bronze awards such as

Uncharted 3
Gears Of War 3
Little Big Planet 2

and so on.

This is just an opinion. No need to get mad

RIPSKATEDESTROY4537d ago

thats true, i just like this comment about Minecraft "or delve beneath the surface (and the critics) you'll find a game which gets old fast"

Kran4537d ago (Edited 4537d ago )

Minecraft sort of died for me after the adventure update.

I mean hunger?! I thought that would be interesting, when actually it just made the game worse. ¬¬

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons17d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac17d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2316d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher31d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris31d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera31d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii31d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts31d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX31d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos31d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast31d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
