Why Pereira and Sessler are Both Wrong

No, this isn't some fanboy rant about which game was neglected. This is about discussing games the way they deserve to be discussed.

TGR's Andrew Groen writes: "If there is, in fact, a correct answer to this debate, as Sessler and Periera would have you believe, then gaming is not art. There is no such thing as an indisputable "best work of art." However, there is a true answer to what is the best operating system (depending on your needs) or the best internet browser, in terms of features and capabilities. If we're going to talk about a true answer to which is the best game then we are boiling video games down to basic pieces of software."

The author makes some strong points here.

WANNA GET HIGH6363d ago

Y should u care who wins GOTY.Just play the game u want.N4G is not how it use to be back in the day.Nowadays we just have fan boys with multiple accounts that spam and post sh1t if a game gets a low review score.That is there opinion of giving fable2 game of the year so just deal with it.

cain1416363d ago (Edited 6363d ago )

@1.1

Did you even read the article?

Viewtiful6363d ago

lol Not only did he not read the article, he didn't even read the synopsis.

prowiew6362d ago

Of course, to make claims like this is to call the "Game of the Year" concept into question as well, as it intrinsically implies that you're wrong if you disagree.

Really, though, this is a way to attract attention, so hopefully it will lead to a greater discourse of the games in question and not petty name calling between two colleagues.

That'd just be wrong.

Viewtiful6363d ago

I see what you did there at the end...clever lol.

SirLarr6363d ago

Isn't that whole article just common sense?

Viewtiful6363d ago

Clearly it's not since some of the most prominent people in the industry don't seem to understand.

Bnet3436363d ago

Of course this is common sense. You can't be wrong about an opinion, it makes no sense. This is the same thing as people complaining about a review score.

MasterBlaster6363d ago

Ok then lets say my opinion is that Too Human is GOTY.... I would be wrong. That would make my opinion wrong.

Nathan Drake6363d ago

Sorry,you gave it GOTY because Molyneux gave your publication a f*cking exclusive on his upcoming projects,you KNOW that it doesn't deserve it GOTY since there are much better Ps3,Xbox 360,Wii,and PC games that came out in 2008 that absolutely run laps around Fable 2 in every aspect-Gameplaywise,Graphicwis e,Musicwise,Onlinewise,etc.

GiantEnemyCrab6363d ago (Edited 6363d ago )

Oh big surprise. Nathan Drake avatar is the dead giveaway. Another PS3 supporter claiming a conspiracy and pay off.

Unless you can provide some kind of proof give it up.

Fable 2 is well deserving of GOTY. My guess is you have never even played the game. Excellent gameplay, excellent story, excellent soundtrack and while it may not be the first choice in some gamers minds it has all the makings of a game that deserves the honor.

IN MY OPINION! <- important thing to add and something you should of said in your post.

So Easy I Can Do It6363d ago

You know Fable 2 isn't GOTY quality.
And lets not point fingers at who's the fanboy cause three of your is pointing back at you.

Gears 2 should be GOTY instead of Fable 2 no doubt.

austere6363d ago

wrong. Having played all the big games out that are deserving of GOTY....

MGS4 takes it hands down, no doubt in my mind and I don't see how anyone could see otherwise. It is a masterpiece. Gears was great but no where near as lasting in your mind once you are done with it like MGS4 is. Sad that Dead Space got completely shut out when it was so amazing.

Still...it's MGS4 all the way.

ReTarDedFisHy6363d ago

MGS4 wins so hard, I'm not even going to explain why.

krauley6363d ago

and then vote in december, what game are you gonna think about and remember more of......?

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart126d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7125d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989126d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_126d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg126d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher126d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1126d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.
