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:

These shows go by popularity. It's nothing to get worked up over.

by popularity? :angry:

Oh you mean popularity of a narrow minded money grubbing few!

I got ya. thanks for clearing that up for me. :crazy:

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?

well where else should the world gaming comunitee discuss good or bad games in

" Panchos shoe shop?" If a game sucks and we all know some do it will be blasted hot and heavy in a gamers hangout like this one.

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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
