How else do we judge "Best" if not by majority rules?

The majority also elected Bush as their president. The Majority has voted kindergarten questions wrong in "Who wants to be a millionaire", the Majority still plays CS1.6 mostly because they cant play any newer ones. There are certain things we can rank, compare, line up, without the vote of majority.

"GOTY" awards are one of those things.

As for the X-diesel engine? It's not perfected yet.

It is perfected, its working, its just expensive. It has a super mileage, extremely low polution rate and it keeps the engine in better shape, and is made of hobos. Its better in every area, but since its not accessible to the main market without sacrificing many of its pros, its not accepted by the SUV driving public (or, since it requires great hardware to be enjoyed at its fullets, yadda yadda).

Go for the high mileage cars like BF2, or the kooky hybrids like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

COD4 is not a hybrid. BF2 is a 1992 Cherokee, and COD4 is a 2002 Focus RS. They arent revolutionary in any way, whatsoever. Fun as fvck in their own ways, with "Cherokee" being fun in more ways than RS, but both of them are the refurbishments of the proven concept. If anything, BF1942 was a sexy, slick hybrid.

Crysis is the future DeLorean to Far Cry.

X-Diesel is too far ahead of it's time, and isn't worth using until technology catches up with it, making it both affordable, and efficient at what it does.

That I agree with. However, it does far more for us as games in the long run, than COD4 or BF2 will. Proof? BF2 has been out 2 years and even DICE has failed to come up with an improved game. COD4 is fun as fvck but people dont call it a reskinned COD2 for nothing, especially when purely graphically, COD2 isnt dead or old yet. Crysis looks, plays, delivers. It also constructs, puts the player to the test, and is a base for mods with unimaginable potential. You can do anything with that game.

I would want to smack ALL developers who think that differenciating themselves from BF2 is a good thing, as they come up with sh!t.

Crysis is Doom 3 all over again.

Not really. Doom was "just" purdy graphix.

Democracy doesn't lie (much)

It does lie, when the nominees are screwed in the first place, there isn't much to vote for.

I do know me and some other people wanted bioshock for goty but it wasnt added.

Wrong. :) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Majority (Popular Vote) doesn't rule in America.

BF2's stats system proved to give it extra mileage.

CoD4's Console AND PC multi-player fun proved to make it worth buying for both PC and PS3. Which I did. PS3 just to play it on the huge screen TV. PC because mouse + WASD > Controllers. Thus, it's the Hybrid.

As for Crysis? Well it worked so hard on the graphics and single player action that it's nothing more than a futuristic game with no longevity. If it's not a sports car, but instead, a car of the future: It wouldn't be the DeLorean. It'd be The Homer. It's all glitz and glamor thrown together with little direction. It doesn't run good for the general populace. Hopefully mods will fix it's lack-luster Multi-player, and hopefully computing will catch up to Crysis' very demanding requirements. (I ran it fine, but none of my friends did.)

Of course...

Nobody plays F.E.A.R. anymore, even though technology caught up with it.

Tell that to the kids who would vote Paris Hilton to be the president if they had a chance. :laugh:

I dont buy it. Its not the stats system that gave BF2 the extraordinary mileage. If you look around, theres absolutely no substitute for the game. With all the bugs, inbalances and fvcked up gameplay aspects, BF2 remains until this day, THE best all-around combat shooter. That isnt saying its a godsend and perfect and that I would love to have puppies with it. Thats just saying that every competition there is, doesnt even come close to what BF2 offers. And even DICE failed to do something better, BF2142... haha.

The problem with mods is that they are too similar to the core product.

No denial. COD4 MP is the best thing since 2005. Its flawless.

Its Single Player is epicly free, to say the least. Theres no game on the market, which SP lets you do the things Crysis lets you do. And I trust that until Far Cry 2 comes out, there wont be. Its not an RPG like Oblivion, that basically gives you the option to "go anywhere", its that one of a kind game that lets you "do anything". Quite literally. If it had ducktape, itd be perfect.

And "glitz and glamour"? Dont let the hate speak for you, mon cherri. Theres no "glamour", nor is there any "glitz". Its a stripped down, basic game. The fact that it has incredible graphics, doesnt mean the game is "showing off" or relies solely on the graphics. Dont let the hate blind you. I ran the game on all LOW/MED, and I enjoyed it immensely. It IS, DeLorean. Its a revolutionary step which isnt accepted because it doesnt quite offer what the masses want. Doesnt make the masses bad, certainly doesnt make the game bad.

Tell me, where can you take a Kamaz truck, load it up with oil barrels, rig with C4, and rush towards an outpost, jump out, cloak in, blow the truck up with 10 chinamen along with it? Just because you "felt" like it was the smartest thing to do?!

Many complain about it not running well. Others say its running perfect. Go figure. My friend says his PC is fvcked and asks for my help. I asked what did he do to it, and he said "nothing". Well, when I turned it on and opened the browser, the homepage was porn, a million porn popups came up and well... you catch my drift.

Nobody plays F.E.A.R. anymore, even though technology caught up with it.

FEAR was a pretty eye candy, only. It didnt revolutionise the genre, it just pushed certain elements a little further. Namely enemy AI and physics. And frankly, it was a damn fun SP experience, something you dont see that often. And on top of that, while being a corridor shooter, it didnt feel as scripted as tic tac toe.

[Dairuka]

You said "your hate" multiple times in that post.

"My Hate" for Crysis lies solely in it's Multi-player mode. Which is safe to say, something that should've been listed as one of the biggest disappointments of the year.

I should also mention that Portal's single player mode is infinitely more amusing.

You want to talk about Crysis being the best, yet it's pseudo-non linear single player experience only took it so far. It probably should've been a console game.

Someone has snatched, raped and killed every reasonable person who has ever made a good multi-level war FPS. Crysis is no exception to BF2142, ETQW and even FFOW. The only people still being able to make good vehicle based games, are modders for BF2... Amusingly, its the limitations of the engine that keeps them from going too far from the age-proven BF2 "vibe". Ultimately being their downfall, aswell.

I found it dull and boring. I yawned so many times that I had to get out my napkins to wipe my eyes. A solid puzzle game, but you dont really hear people raving over it. Youre the second person, after Sloi, who has praised it, that I remember of.

Theres nothing "linear" about Crysis, the only thing that make it linear, are the player choices. Its up to you to make it an experience you want to. I took the most of it, you probably took the "fastest" of it, so to speak.

But its not the SP, nor the MP that will let us hear about Crysis in the future. Its the CryENGINE2, with the editor, the future mods. Crysis GTA? You got it. Crysis JP? Already in production. Crysis VTOL simulator? You got it. Crysis BF2 the way we wanted it? Why not.

The possibilities are endless.

We have a goddamn winner.
So many times I`ve argued with people who claim that Crysis is just another tech-demo with boring *** gameplay and nothing else. Especially the HL2 fans, who think they are king sh!t cause the love a game which is concidered to be the best evar.

[[MIA] crimsonand]

congrats to all the winners

[GreasedScotsman]

Can't say I agree with the "Biggest Letdown" award. The tactical choices and fun of ETQW tends to grow on people once they get past the learning curve. Keep an eye out for patch 1.4 in a week or so that will include in-game tutorials... or check out the video tutorials I've put together:

COD4 was a good choice for the Best PC Game. Rock solid fun, even if a bit too slow and straightforward of a shoot-em up for my liking. Emphasis that this is only my personal opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

BF2's stats system proved to give it extra mileage.

BF2's stat system was like putting octane booster in your tank, nothing more-nothing less. BF1942 will far outlast BF2 cause it didn't have stats...it allowed you to just play the game for fun and team work.

As for Crysis.. it is the better game, just alot of people can't experience it cause they either refuse to upgrade or can't upgrade hardware.

Me and my friends experienced Crysis.... and it wasn't as good as CoD4, BF2 or even Trackmania Nations.
