TheDogsBed Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Regardless of the outcome, I don't see any game publisher getting too excited or dismayed over the votes of just over a thousand Neowin users. I think the ones they look at and value are already established and have the strength of coming from dedicated gaming sites.

stanley porkchop Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 It's a nice idea, but think about the overall winner. Was there any doubt?

.will Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 :( im pretty dissapointed. my opinion is as follows: best fps: halo 2 best action: gta sa top notch multiplayer: halo 2 graphical king: hl2 audiophile's choice: gta sa most innovative: katamari damaci definitive best: halo 2 i guess thats because, im not a pc gamer, but still :/. oh well i dont need anyone to tell me what games to like. kudos to all the voters. .will (p.s. we musnt forget re4 for next year :devil:) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/272043-discuss-neowin-community-game-awards/page/3/#findComment-585302074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 For sound I really think MGS3 should have won. If you have played it you would know that the sound is simply amazing. HL2 is a good choice too tho. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/272043-discuss-neowin-community-game-awards/page/3/#findComment-585302087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afroman Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I have to agree with some people.. i love HL2 as much as the next.. but best audio?.. and racing was nfsu2? no.. all honesty i think this game was bland.. i'm sorry burnout3 was a better "RACING" game.. the cars were better in nfs because it's based on real cars.. but the game isn't a good racing game.. at all.. it's mediocre at best. for racing burnout 3 had it imo also.. halo 2 not getting 1 award?? thats just retarded.

Hekx Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I think DOOM3 should have grabbed one of the awards too. HL2 kinda stole the whole show. :p (I admit I play HL2 more than DOOM3) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/272043-discuss-neowin-community-game-awards/page/3/#findComment-585302255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev13dd Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Exactly, it's not all about the graphics. Half Life 2 won because it was simply a much better game. It could have used the same graphics from Halo 2, and it would have still be better. 585300915[/snapback] Half Life 2 could of gone anywhere with their storyline Halo 2 already had a book written about it that it has to follow. If you read the book, you'd see how much they sacraficed to make it fit the book. They had to leave out a bunch too Half Life 2 had the ability to introduce brand new characters, brand new story line from Half Life 1 Halo 2 happens at the same time period. No real new characters they can introduce or develop Halo 2 was more of a sequal than Half Life 2. Half Life 2 took place at a new time, could introduce new people, a new environment, a newish enemy. Considering the difference between the games, and how each did excelling at what they were given, I'd give it to Halo 2 K Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/272043-discuss-neowin-community-game-awards/page/3/#findComment-585302357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconboy Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 honestly i think that a lot of good games came out in 2004, especially near the end of the year and a lot of awesome games like metal gear solid 3, were lost in the mix. I feel sorry for all the people who are, let me put it nicely.. a little... bitter about halo 2 getting nothing... I mean ok, sure i understand that halo 2 maybe should have won something, but on the otherhand, i totally understand how it could win nothing :p a lot of people are touting its soundtrack as amazing in this thread- when many people see a games saoundtrack as its strongest point for winning an award, -why are you surprised it didnt win anything at all. I think the mistake here was releasing Halo 2 around the same time as HL2, come on guys- HL2 is the sequel to what many have called THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME ON THE pc. Clearly anything else would have been overshadowed- I think there are way more games better than Halo 2 that were overshadowed by HL2, wanna know why im not so bitter? because 2004 was the year of HL2, it met all of our convoluted expectations, something that rarely happens and not even halo 2 could do.

Afroman Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 i'm not mad at neowin.. it's the goofs that i know just voted becaue they saw the overhyped games in the box to vote and went "OOOoo HL2.. i think i will click.." probably people who never played it...

iconboy Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 i love it when people start mocking people and calling them stupid, because something didnt go their way. Sure it is a possibility that a lot of "goofs" voted based on "OOOooo" factor :p but isnt it also possible that people thought, and i know this is a stretch, that GASP!- Halflife 2 was GOOD?

jerry Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Wha...multiplayer should have gone to Halo 2. UT2004 was fun...for a while.

tagerd0g Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I think if there was a category for "Best (or Worst) cliffhanger ending" then maybe Halo 2 would have gotten an award. :laugh: :p So what were the actual percentages from the votes?

Guyver3 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well had a feeling that HL2 was going to steal the show after all its been a long wait with so many "its coming out now" remarks that it just kept your mouth watering!!. The way i see it is yes Halo 2 did a lot for Console FPS and its by the far the best there is, but on the PC well thats a whole different matter come on weve had FPS on PC for so long now that half of the gamers pick up a new game from the shop get it home and dont have to even learn the keys :p its all WSAD, space and mouse. IMO the remark on whether games publishers and the likes listen to votes like this? Well the damn well should you will get a lot more truthfull remarks here than from any review and maybe if they did the console market would sit up and take some notice and try harder to get a prize next time round. Well maybe the console FPS will do better next year with Xbox2 and Halo 2.5 :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/272043-discuss-neowin-community-game-awards/page/3/#findComment-585313279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanki Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I love how this got in to a debate over Halo2 and HL2 again.. :p It's clear that these two were the two most hyped games of 2004 because people can't get over them.
