MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
I can agree with Uncharted for PS3.
Surprised that COD4 is best for XB360. It does not even make my personal top 5 list.
(EoJ, Uncharted, Warhawk, R&C and Singstar.)
COD4 is a great game - but I think R:FOM and Warhawk is better.
Anyway.... thanks to all the development houses, developers who toiled tirelessly and the publishing houses who took the risks of making these titles available to us. I (and my family) have had a lot of fun with our PS3 this year so far. Have a good rest - and bring me some more titles. Port some of the good XB360 titles as well - I really don't care if I play a game two years after XB360 owners played it. When I get my hands on it, it will still be a new game to me, and if the content is good, I will still enjoy it. Again - thanks for your hard work to entertain us.
The playstation games are just right. I would have thought Mass Effect or Bioshock would have won it for the 360 (and surprised the overhyped Halo 3 didn't take that spot, thank god!)
PC should had been Crysis.
Mass effect has too much issues to be GOTY.
Bioshock is good but then again multiplat.
I'm not sure if i buy logan's shadow...guess i will
Master Chief is the best character? I havent even played mass effect and I can guess those characters have more depth then MC in the first 15 minutes of the game!
Get pissy fanboys but its hard to belive they put alot of thought into that one, you shouldnt have to read books to get an inside perspective of a character.
though COD4 should not have taken GOTY for 360, it has plenty of games that deserve that, COD4 should just take GOTY or multiplat GOTY for being so good on every platform.
Bioshock will be the game of the year overall, mark my words.
