Actually I'm okay with GTA:SA being Game of the Year. In terms of sheer length and variety of gameplay, you must admit that San Andreas wins hands down.

Now Best Gaming Website - Shacknews was robbed.

Still, the award ceremony was much, much better than last year. Guess who won GOTY last year? Madden 2004!!

thats retarded, doom3 has much nicer graphics than hl2

I disagree with that, the environments in HL2 were top notch and they are ever changing unlike doom where it was basically the same thing over and over (silver room > silver room etc...) Don?t get me wrong Doom III was good but HL2 just crushed it in every way possible

Although Doom3 may have had the whole perfect lighting and bump mapping and all that stuff, HL2 seemed more immersive. And like someone mentioned above, although Doom3's one room was pretty, that's pretty much all it was. One room over and over and over and over.....

Best New Technology: Nintendo DS? cmon. I personally think the DS is retarded... ok dual screens. wooptie doo... *throws finger up in a circle* i dont see the point in have a map on another wasted screen when u can just press a button to bring it up and pause the game... its distracting in my opinion. i voted for the source engine. i know how long an engine takes to create. especially one as detailed as source... *boo* :rolleyes:

Anyone who takes that awards show seriously needs to take a long look in the mirror. Its a blatant attempt to capitalize on the growing game industry. I mean they allowed MADDEN NFL 2K4 to win GOTY last year. Granted its a great franchise, it is NO WHERE NEAR GOTY caliber. This show is put on by a bunch of clueless suits who just want the advert money. Please do all of us real gamers a favor and never ever watch its so its ratings bomb and they cancel the whole event. Its a disgrace and embaressment that these are even viewed as a legit source of comparision between games.

Spike awards blow chunks it's decided by people who play mostly console games

THERE IS nothing wrong with console games but...

They should get their heads out of their little narrow minded clicks and consider things like game sales and which games get more chat room and thread times If you think about it the games that sell best are doing so for a reason and why? Well check all the chat forums and find out dont rely on fat bubba down the hall or your cousin Vick who has not moved from his coutch in so long that he has Cheetos stuck to his cheak not that there is anything wrong with Cheetos

But come on! JEESH! :angry:

They want to have their general audience agree, and they did that. That's what I meant by popularity.

Taking Spike TV's word on video games is like believing I'm the second coming of Jesus.

edit:

GTA:SA is the most popular game on the list. Half Life 2 isn't.

LOL at the comment about considering games' "chat room time" :rofl:

I agree GTA/SA sucks and HL2 should of gotten more awards but the general audience are not real gamers who make up about 80 % of the game sales. The gamers matter more not the TV audience

I know that. GTA doesn't impress me. Half Life 2 does. Which is why I know that Spike TV's awards are utter bullsh*t.

edit:

Fable got best RPG? Wow.

Against Tales of Symphonia, Star Ocean 3, Megami Tensei, Knights of the Old Republic 2, and Baten Kaitos, Fable won? Wait just a second. Are those guys on crack?

You might notice most online forums talk about computer games, since, well, they're only accesible from computers. There's no fair way to judge a game's popularity if you look at it that way. Take a look at a poll like this, from an obviously PC-biased web site and compare them to a site like this, which has a little more balance to its fan base.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
