If you had any common sense, you would see that my statement was pure common sense. Why attack the guy for no reason? Either you are having problems or are just a jerk." @imhuntad said:

Edit: Probably a little of both, eh? :P
" "This.
Gamespot seem to be going the "cool to be different" path. It just makes them look even more like dumb asses. None of them will have played all of the games released this year so none will be able to categorically say there are no games better than it. The GOTY is just a chore every media outlet has to do. I have my own best of lists and I don't care what anyone else has.
Given the lack of post release support MW2 has received as regards to all of the hacking I'm amazed it was considered by so many.

I mean, what the hell do you think is a good sequel?I don't count new weapons and maps new features. Basically nothing has changed. MW2 could almost be a user-made mod. And anyway, I wouldn't pay full price for different weapons, perks and maps that could easily be added to COD4 through DLC. No way I would pay full price for that short, crappy campaign either. If MW2 had substantial new features and a decent campaign, then it'd be worth $60. "" @Delta4 said:
You mean to tell me that a sequel is similar to the first game, but with new features? "It's just a rehashed and reskined version of the first Modern Warfare (which was a great game). With a short and terrible campaign and the same multiplayer from COD4 just with new perks, weapons and maps.
I SAID : demon's souls deserves GOTY, but i agree that gamespot did not recognize MW2 at all... like at least best shooter... and yah lmfaoo Chinatown wars??
--actually i take my reply back... GTA chinatown wars is an amaizing game.. i never expected Rockstar to come up with such an exciting game for DS and continue the excellence on the PSP.... I've been playing it these couple of weeks and to me this is the best GTA game for PSP by far....................

I don't know what you are talking about, CoD4 had vehicle sections.
Completely revamped multiplayer:
More like completely re-tweaked with some bugs thrown in, and no dedi-servers or any chance for user-created content.
Entire new campaign:
Shorter and even more nonsensical than the first.
Spec Ops:
Spec Ops was a very good mode, I am glad they decided to add at least one new feature for a $60 game, sheesh...
MW2 wasn't on my top 10. It just didn't up to my expectations and didn't do it for me, it was good, but there was so much better stuff out last year.

I'm fine with MW2 not winning GOTY everywhere. I think it was one of my favorite games from last year, and I'm still playing it, but I can totally see why games like UC2 and Batman are winning the best game award, and I don't think anyone, except the hardcore MW fanboys, is arguing against those games.
The real issue I have with GameSpot giving Demon's Souls GOTY is that it didn't even receive their highest rating last year! UC2 and DA (among others) received higher scores than it. And don't give me the, "the score is based on the reviewer's opinion" crap because enough people work there and look at reviews to where those scores have to be justified when they're released. That's the most obvious indication they decided to try taking the road less traveled when coming up with a GOTY.
I don't think it deserves GOTY; maybe multiplayer GOTY.
Gamespot giving Demon's Souls GOTY was just an attempt to grab the hardcore gamers' attention to their site. Apparently, Gamespot is hurting in the visitor department.
Nice to see Giantbomb gives the GOTY to a game that actually deserves it, rather than trying to appeal to the "hardcore" or "casual."
