I CAN honestly tell you that I want to play it again. I will play it on the other accounts on my console.

The thing about X-play making a game of the year, is that I'm sure that replay value is not really high on their list as they have to play SO many games. I'm sure that in their short term hands on experience with the game, it seems that it has tons of replay value when in fact it doesn't.

I'm not trying to be an asshole, and this is not meant as an insult, but how old are you? I am guessing about 16. If I'm wrong, then I apologize. It's just that I am an old school gamer. I remember playing great games that were solved in an afternoon. These games had NO replay value whatsoever, but we beat them over and over and we had a blast!

Replay value is nice, don't get me wrong, but if a game can pack a great experience into a short amount of time, I will take that any day!

To each their own, and once again I wasn't insulting you or anything, and I hope you don't take it that way.

dude it's just like me with too human. i loved it and the majority of people thought it was just, ok. like you said to each is own, whatever floats your boat, sinks your ship,.....to me GOTY should be the top selling game first, and also have the "wow" factor. problem is not everyone is going to say"wow" over the same thing, including those who are voting on GOTY.

I am finding it extremely difficult to convey this message to you when all i see is the Ultimate Warrior saying "stomp my balls" over and over. i'm practically breaking a rib from laughing every time i see it. so this award goes to you evol, SOTY (sig of the year). you won again sir. :rofl:

:rofl:

Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice

Sleeper hit of the year
By: Azureblade89 Favorite Category: Shooter Date: Thursday, Dec 11, 2008
For anyone who sees this game, no it's not a joke; I decided to give this game a shot simply because i knew it was going to be bad. I was very.. very wrong; this game is great, it's a bit slow to start off with but it plays just like CoD4 and even carries the same feel as the beloved call of duty games. You're no super soldier or some strange plot design, it's very simple but well done.

Maybe this should have been game of the year!!!!!

IGN begs to differ my friend.

Quote by theevol1:

Because Fable 2 was a more accessable game overall. People of all ages are able to play Fable 2. It is not the best overall RPG, but GOTY has got to be a game that can be played by all types of gamers. Fable 2 can be played, and was played, by every style of gamer. Not just RPG fans.

I guess I can no longer classify myself as an RPG fan. I haven't seen a good one since Oblivion. (was THAT even an RPG?)

I'm sorry, but I can NOT get into Fallout 3 at all, even though I was absolutely addicted to Oblivion. And for everyone that claims that Fable 2 is a rehash of Fable 1, and then polishes Cliffy B's sack over Gears 2, I don't see a big enough difference between the first and second Gears to warrant GOTY.

I'm not saying that Fable 2 should be everyone's choice for GOTY, but I do think that it deserves some credit. It's the first game that I have personnally played since Mass Effect that I traded sleep for, and that when I got off of work, I COULD NOT WAIT to play this game. In my book, flaws and short story and all, I agree with this choice. (To be fair though, I haven't played any other console exclusives, i.e. MGS4)

okay, oblivion was a masterpiece. to say that you haven't seen a good RPG since is a fair opinion. there have been a few, but not many. you say you liked mass effect, which i loved. i clocked around 500 hours into it! that's an RPG, i don't care what anyone else says.

and what about lost od, man?
i have a really hard time getting back into turn based RPGs, but i thought lost od was a really good game. god.. i used to LOVE turn based. i've gotten so spoiled hahaha.

anyway, i'm one of the people who think fable 2 is a rehash of fable 1, and yeah, i'll support that statement to the end. i enjoyed fable 2 for what it was worth, but it wasn't worth as much as i was hoping. in your opinion, do you think fable 2 is better than 1? i hope not, lol.

fable 2 had almost the exact same quests, time and time again. i'll make a list, if it comes down to it, but i'm sure you know that. fable 2 just seems sloppy, too. i dunno. not being able to assign things to your d-pad really bothered me. i also think guns ruined the game. you can find a decent gun from pretty much the start and just pump on the Y button the whole game if it has a fast enough reload time.

i do not, however, polish cliffy b's sack.
i haven't played gears 2 and i don't really have an urge to.
gears 1 was fun for it's time, but that's really not my style of gaming.

i've only played star ocean: the second story for PS1 but it was GODLY.
looks like there were a few afterwards.
i'll have to look more into eh.... number 4 (though wiki is showing 6 out already??) but if it's anywhere near 2's glory i'll be pleased.

it won't be, though.
it'll probably just be like what the 64 did to castlevania.

They made 3 for the PS2, and they also ported 1 to the PSP last month which is the first time it has been in America.

Also, They have been working on 4 for 2 years, planning for it to be on the 360 and they say they're taking advantage of the 360's full capabilities.

GO TEAM S-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, you two quoting/replying for each other is really getting confusing at this point LOL.
i really have the urge to stomp some balls.
maybe live and i are related...

anyway...
it doesn't matter much to me how long they've been working on it.
that might sound bitter, and i hope it doesn't, but i have yet to play an RPG on the 360 that has really taken me back, you know?

shit, i've completed oblivion, fable 2, lost od, mass effect, enchanted arms and PSU. (and i'm close to completing fallout. oh so close) but at this point, the consumer expects so much, and the developers are giving in. the consumer expects top notch graphics, a 5,000 hour main quest and unlimited replay value.

i'd love to see all these "die-hard 360 RPG players" play something like secret of evermore and tell me it's not a beautiful experience.
