Oh, psh. Everyone says that for every game they think looks cool until a year after release. It looks like it will still be kind of unpolished, but I feel like it'll probably be made up for by the fact that Double Fine knows how to make cool games and Tim Schafer writes fun things.
Uncharted 2 trailer was also win, keeping the endearing attitude of the original. Please God let Elena come back...
God of War 3 will get a purchase, unless some early review scares the pants off me. I'm a little uneasy that David Jaffee is no longer at the helm, but it's still Kratos, they've got the same awesome dude doing the voice, and I've no doubt he'll brutalize many mythical creatures in exceedingly nasty ways.
Win, win, win.
Oh, and there was some sort of awards thing going on. Whatever.
I'd take it a step further.
Best MMORPG.
Best freeform RPG.
Best linear RPG.
You could just say "best western RPG" and "best JRPG", but freeform/linear seems less... racist?
You must be imagining things.

Totally true, but it would keep Fallout and Fable from competing with Persona and ... I dunno, Lost Odyssey? Tales of Vesperia..? I feel like I'm forgetting something...
Seriously. Do yourself a favor and download the demo for this game. Just try it, thank me later.
...what could it be..? Damnit, this is gonna' bug me all day now.
What was her username again? Imfullofshitlolwheresmycheck?
Jaffe left Sony Santa Monica after God of War 1. Cory Barlog directed God of War 2 and Ready at Dawn made God of War: Chains of Olympus. It's not like he alone made God of War 1 great anyway, there's a whole team of talented people that worked on it and so they'll be perfectly fine.
Anyway, Uncharted 2 teaser was disappointing (solely because of the length), God of War 3 trailer looked brilliant (gameplay footage!) and Brutal Legend looked crazy awesome.
Those awards thingies? Eh, who cares? If you want to pay attention to awards that actually mean something, then wait for the Game Developers Choice Awards (which are held during GDC) and the Interactive Achievement Awards (which are held during DICE Summit).
It's definitely not a game aimed towards people who don't like/understand the Metal culture. I mean, if you didn't like Major Boobage, you're probably not going to care for this.

I might have believed her if she was a model for Hustler or some third rate soft core porn rag.
I knew there was some sort of gaming awards that were voted on by the devs themselves - that's the GDC?
Y'know, that really would make it easier to believe her.
Both. Well, the GDC Awards are voted on by only game developers, while the Interative Achievement Awards are voted on by "people in the gaming industry" (which is so vague it could include journalists). The GDC Awards are usually the more interesting ones though. Their last four Game of the Years were; Half-Life 2 (2004), Shadow of the Colossus (2005), Gears of War (2006) and Portal (2007).

Hi, I'm Oblivion with the textures changed!
Not defending GTA, as it was overrated but so was FO3
I think it might be decent in 5 to 6 years.
Still enjoyed non-nominated games a hell of a lot more though, like Valkyria Chronicles, Rock Band 2 and Prince of Persia.
Uncharted 2, GoW3 and Brutal Legend stuff right?
That's me a happy chappy, I've been dying to get a good glimpse of those three!
(The only thing that'd make me happier is if some how, by some chance, something from Team ICO slipped in to the show)

No, what you said was a gross mischaractarization of every man in the greek system, based either on the fact that you've watched too many movies, or based on the fact that some dude maybe picked on you once (my guess is the former.)
Yeah.
I own Fallout 3.
It pretty much is Oblivion with guns and different textures. There are small improvements, like a leveling system that doesn't suck nearly as bad, and VATS, which is iffy (it's cool when you use it to finish someone, but I hate having to constantly recharge it).
It's not a bad game, in fact I quite enjoy it, but it really does feel like a cool mod to Oblivion.
EDIT: Wait, the Rock Band thread is saying Pearl Jam's fucking Ten was confirmed as a full album download at the VGA awards, Y/N? If Y, add about five more
Meh. Fun stuff happens in Fallout 3 all the time, of the games on that they had nominated I'd say it would've been the best choice. Also, a very detailed world with lot's of delightful exploration - more delightful than GTAIV. I personally enjoy VATS and use it even on radroaches.
@Variant:
Basically GTAIV is just GTA3 with guns and the textures changed... Oh wait they already had guns in GTA3...
Edit: I'm not saying Fallout 3 is among my favourite games, I'm just saying of the games on that list it's the one that didn't disappoint me and the one that had the most cool features. It might be on my top 50 games list, GTAIV is hardly on my top 100 list. This year didn't really have a clear case of GOTY for me. Many good games but none that was as full of WIN as most other years (until I can get my hands on Chrono Trigger DS).
