Why Uncharted 3 Should Win The GAME BAFTA Award

Wesley Copeland of VGI writes... "Each year BAFTA rolls out the red carpet and dishes out trophies like Skyrim dishes out arrows to the lower leg region.

However, the sad truth of the BAFTA GAME Award is that it has became a mass popularity contest, of which, Call of Duty wins each year.

This year however VGI is on the scene and we plan on shaking things up!"

I'd be surprised if Arkham City doesn't win the bafta. Bafta always favours British made games. As much as I enjoyed Uncharted 3, beyond some excellent acting and epic set pieces the rest of the game was actually a bit shit. Rubbish hive mind enemy A.I, bullet sponge enemies, and inconsistent random deaths (one minute a 3ft drop kills you, the next you fall 20ft without a scratch). Having said that, the co-op was good.

"Why Uncharted 3 Should Win The GAME BAFTA Award"

more 10/10 than anything else this year, on the best console available, it's a good reason, no matter how many time desperated xfanboyz are trying to downplay and nitpick the game..

Kingdom Come4451d ago

Actually, it wasn't even in the top ten best reviewed games of the year:

SoapShoes4451d ago

It had over 100 perfect review scores. I'm pretty sure it was it's just Metacritic didn't count every site out there. Although maybe another had more perfect scores who knows? I wasn't paying attention to those games.

FunkMacNasty4451d ago (Edited 4451d ago )

@ Kikizoo - hahahah. And your the one who's brings up the word "fanboy" with a statement like that!?

Let's be honest here. Uncharted 3 was a great game, but it definitley was NOT the epic awesomefest that it's predecessor was. The only people who are insisting that UC3 is the be-all-end-all of games this gen, or even this year, are a bit delusional if you ask me. Especially considering all the other amazing games that came out during the past year that were arguably better than UC3.

...And you don't have to be an "desparated xfanboy" to nitpick or downplay Uncharted 3. I played through it and continued to nitpick over plenty. Especially having such high expectations after playing the true pinnicle of awesomeness in the series which, of course, is Uncharted 2: among thieves

"However, the sad truth of the BAFTA GAME Award is that it has became a mass popularity contest, of which, Call of Duty wins each year."

If i'm remembering the same awards, they gave ME2 GOTY last year. MW2 arguably deserved it in 2009, no matter what internet people say. It's a popularity contest, so don't take it seriously.

VGI4451d ago

I had no problem with the 2010 GOTY going to ME2. I don't agree with it as I felt there were more deserving titles, but I can see why ME2 won BEST GAME.

As for MW2, I still find the original Modern Warfare to be the best MW title out of the three.

And yes, you're totally right on the popularity contest remark.

Hopefully if enough people Tweet this, Facebook it and get behind one game we can change who wins, or at least, show it up for the charade that it is.

nirwanda4451d ago

Thats because its voted for by the public you should vote if you want to make a difference to the result

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers15h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos29m ago(Edited 28m ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing11h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H911h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola7h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66910h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle10h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 3h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos1d 3h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola22h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac14d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2313d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
