GOTYs from around the web

I know you despise Ryse many didn't I really like the campaign and obvious graphics. Sunset overdrive is a cartoon on steroids and titanfall was the fastest multiplayer since the unreal and quake days. All these games for me are AAA. You should give them a spin.
I don't despise Ryse I rented it and it was actually better then I thought but not purchase worthy. I bought SO for my son and heard nothing but good things.
Titanfall I bought,traded in and bought again DD...I wanna like it I just can't get into it. I do see TF and a potentially awesome franchise.
My fav Exclusives thus far are TLOUR and KI and I don't really play neither.
I rather play these 3rd party games :crazy:
 
FH2 is a great game and I agree with others opinions, to say we aren't being honest in our opinions only makes me wonder if it's because the accusers aren't always honest with their own to even think such.

The website that crowned FH2 their GOY is www.trustedreviews.com.

I was curious to see what some of the websites listed above thought of FH2 and the 1st 2 listed don't even acknowledge the game exists as nothing game up in a search on their website. Their loss.

Who are they though?

If I dug I might be able to find almost any game winning GOTY from unknown sites.

Who are they? I reckon people with opinions just as valid as anyone's.

That is like saying "and who are YOU?"..so because of that anything you say here is invalid.

Most of those websites above I imagine most of us have not heard of either, so? I'd be more interested in hearing if anyone got paid off for their GOTY selection than arguing over what their personal opinion choices are, doesn't matter how big or small the website is.

What I say here is invalid? Truths=invalid
Point still stands Outside of here FH2 isn't much of a GOTY now is it?

and that matters why? Is that somehow supposed to change the opinions of those here who love the game? people love it, deal with it.

and your opinion is no better or worse than that unknown site, same goes for me, and all the other forum dwellers voicing opinions.

Grab Turismo has sold 70+ million units. Grab Turismo 5 is the best selling PS3 game. How is the racing genre niche again?

That was a long time ago, and fans had waited 6 years for that game. Not only that, but GT has yet to prove itself as a dominating series throughout a generation, one huge release is hardly dominating. Also, I remember it getting low scores with the media, much less a bunch of GOTY awards.

It still won, and was in the top 10 of other sites so it shows its a contender. Why wasn't sunset overdrive voted up here, it was on the bottom of the list if your theory stands that might have made sense, but we can move on. :)

Here it wins...not much in the real world.
Am I right?

You luv it and defend it.
I deal with it but laugh at the fanboy bias on this forum :)

When was the last racer to win much? Even great games like Forza 4 just did when much, its the way it is. Same reason yourself and many others just don't play racers.
 
Okay so we are now spinning racers not being as popular IYO for the reason most haven't chose FH2?

Name when a racer won last, racing games come out every year in droves but yet they don't win. Still doesn't seem like a valid point or you just refuse to address it?

I don't need to feed your spin and answer woulda coulda shoulda questions.
It wasn't picked by most outside of this xbox biased site.
I stated before awards came out that this sites pick was suspect and now GOTY awards are out and we see I was correct.
You and others here aren't man enough to admit you are wrong.

lol, I think most knew it wasn't going to win. That's obvious. As I said racers don't, look at history.
 
Yeah us Xbots just couldn't stand to see a multiplat win GOTY here so we lied! :txbcool:

FH2 has two big threads still going on the front page of the Xbox forums. People are playing this game. They tend to play games they like.

FH2 just is all around great. Great graphics, fun gameplay, lots of features, deep enough for hardcore fans, casual enough for others. Few bugs.

FH2 was the first game to "wow" me on X1, even over Ryse. Not just graphically but just in all aspects.

Valliance, I think you're missing some variables here. You keep saying it's fanboyism and bias, but really, there are other, simpler, and less insulting explanations.

1. We are likely to have more Forza owners here, so there are more potential votes for the franchise. Most people voting in the poll played only a small proportion of the games. Of those small selection of games, it's likely that Xbox owners, especially at a rather hardcore site like this, would choose Xbox games over others (to buy and play, I mean). So what you end up with is higher "base rates" of Forza owners in the poll, therefore more Forza votes than in a more balanced group.

2. Xbox owners themselves are people who are likely to prefer Xbox exclusives. That's why they bought the console in the first place, after all. So Union members are people who are already inclined to prefer games like Forza, Halo, Gears, etc. It would be the same at a Sony or Nintendo leaning site. You'd expect people there to naturally prefer and vote for those types of games -- that's why they bought the console in the first place. That's why they're at the site.

So you've got a dual effect here going on -- 1) base rates of ownership of the game are higher, meaning more potential votes, and 2) Xbox owners themselves are self-selected as people who prefer Xbox franchises; so again, more potential votes.

None of that equates to fanboyism and bias. I'm not saying it's not there; it may be, who knows. I'm just saying there are other, simple explanations at hand that don't involve fanboyism and bias, which are rather insulting accusations and just likely to stir people up.

Well I am saying its because of fanboy bias for the "most part"

I am not to fond of people who point out when others are wrong but can't admit when they are wrong.

So again don't waste my time

Where did I say FH2 would claim GOTY awards all over the internet? Quit playing the victim. You claimed a racer wouldn't win GOTY on all these sites and there hasn't been one do that in years, maybe even a full decade or more. The sky is blue, wow Val, you really went out on a limb.

btw I didn't vote for FH2, so get over it.
