The so-called "Video Game Awards - Page 2

*PizzaPower* · 12-05-2003, 08:10 PM

I still belive that GTA Vice City should have been game of the year.

*Stone Ill* · 12-05-2003, 08:51 PM

Vice City came out in 2002..

*Eye of Sarnath* · 12-05-2003, 09:00 PM

But came out for PC in 2003.

The fact that Enter the Matrix won an award makes me sick. That game was awful.

I'm glad to see Knights of the Old Republic won an award - it truly deserves it.

GWARGH!!!!!!!!

no CLASSIC game award?!? they degraded legends like Pac-man,Donkey-Kong,Pong and Space Invaders
to damn promo spots and a phone poll

it seems that every game that requires a bit of THINKING didn't win anything

Kingdom Hearts,Viewtiful Joe,Mario Sunshine, NBA F&*#ING street vol 2 Didn't win anything?!!?!?

and the matrix game winning a award..it was fixed!!! the only reason it won is because they had P.O.D to play a song from the craptacular Reloaded movie

.....Im gonna go and play REAL games

The whole thing was fixed. The title to win game of the year should be a game that has done something revolutionary, or reinvented a genere, or pushed the limits of gaming in every way. Madden just isn't that. I'm sure it's a good game to those to play it. But it is the same game every year with a freash coat of paint each time. It may be fun, but it dosen't do anything worth of game of the year. Now, I may not be an PS2 or X-Box fan, but it would have made sense for GTA to win (even if it is a year old), but not Madden. Now Wind Waker, that's game of the year worthy. Hell, I'm stunned to death that the pop worshiping idiots didn't give anything to Britney's Dance Beat. At least they have a little sanity.

Madden won because the core audience for that show was 18-36 year old men who tuned in to see strippers, and most men that age like football, so Madden won. Death to Spike TV.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-06-2003, 07:41 AM

yeah, that sounds about right.

Every game is like that. Some people hate RPG's and if one won, they'd be pissed. Some people hate FPS's, ect. Everyone has their own tastes and opinions, and you can't satisfy everyone at an awards show.

I play sports AND sports games probably more than most other games. Now at least. But NO sports game...EVER...deserves to be game of the year.

impetus · 12-06-2003, 02:11 PM

I know I'm in the minority here, but I happen to think Enter the Matrix was a great game. There was definitely a lot to like. Sure it's got a license which blows it out of proportion, but it's still a fun game (the most important thing) with a lot of cool stuff behind it (physics, motion capture, action choreography), despite what peopl may think of the license, movie, program bugs (which are few), etc. The only real flaw in the game (at least the PS2 version) is the long load times. With the possible exception of ROTK, which just now came out, I don't think there was a better game based on a movie this year.

*Raven* · 12-06-2003, 02:18 PM

the only thing im mad about is that metal gear solid didnt win anything

impetus · 12-06-2003, 03:13 PM

MGS did not come out in 2003.

(And Substance does not count as a new game.)

Demonfox38 · 12-06-2003, 03:15 PM

What's this? No Zelda game? No F-Zero GC or AC?

They must die!

impetus · 12-06-2003, 03:19 PM

I agree... when did Wind Waker come out?

Demonfox38 · 12-06-2003, 03:21 PM

Wasn't Wind Waker released in Spring 2003?

impetus · 12-06-2003, 03:24 PM

either that or Christmas 2003 - don't remember which...

What was even worse was how they never announced any runners up. And don't get me started on the annoying people screaming for every single thing that was said, or game announced....

And this is why there should be no Spike TV, nor Lifetime, nor Oxygen. We do not need the man's/woman's channels, because for the majority, they are full of crap. The reruns of Design Women are nice, though.

*JameO* · 12-06-2003, 04:26 PM

Yeah Ben thats the thing you are dragged into the whole thing that you enjoy football and like the game Madden. But you got to look at it as a game not as how it appeals to football fans. As Mikey said sports games are fun for people that enjoy that sport and don't belong in a best game of the year category. Maybe have it's own category like Best Sports Game but then that would be a long awards having a Best Fantasy Best Shooter game but would be good.
