Strange that they don't wait for the year to finish. Plus this smells like unbelievable bullshit to me... Doom3 should have won the gold joysuck award meh...

Doom3 isn't a bad game ffs. Stop bashing something because it was never PLANNED on being ****ing made like all you expected. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THE ORIGINALS AND IT ****ING PLAYS LIKE THE ORIGINALS - mission accomplished.

 

[Warbie]

Doom 3 plays nothing like the originals.

It didn't deserve game of the moth, let alone GOTY.

Medicore. (Edge were a little generous with their 7/10 score imo)

//edit woohoo - let's all bash Doom 3 \o/

I don't like Doom 3 because it's a boring and uninspired game, not because it didn't play like the originals

I think FarCry should have won over doom3. And WTH didn't they wait !? Halo 2 is coming, san andreas JUST came our and HL2 is also released soon.

Exactly - there are many, many games more deserving of the title. (shows how pointless these awards are really)

I thought Doom 3 was really good!

Woah.... nonsense spotted.

What was good 10 years ago, isn't necessarily good today, it was repetitive and had a bucketload of unfulfilled potential.
It doesn't play anything like the original, that isn't an excuse. They already changed most of the gameplay, so not adding stuff to "be like the original" is a very weak excuse.

 

[<RJMC>]

yes they shuold hav wait fo the next games coming

I would have quoted everything said here for emphasis, but it was too much work. Stupid Golden Joystick people.

Online game: Battlefield Vietnam (EA Games)

.................

DooM 3 wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. I certainly don't think it was the best game to have come out this year.

 

[destrukt]

yeh, it was ok, but goty ... come on

 

[ShadowFox]

I really enjoyed Doom 3, but FarCry was the best game of the year so far.

It wasn't bad, but it was still goat shite compared today's standard of FPSes.

And come on, do you real think it deserved best pc game? my ass. Rome total war should've won that award instead - it's multifolds better than id's shooter.

BTW - what kind of awards are these? heck 2004 is not even over.

 

[Alig]

No i don't think its the best FPS this year but its not the worst by a long shot...its still one of the best games to come out this year though. But still Doom3 was supposed to be a run and gun FPS like Painkiller was.

If any FPS should of won that award now it should of gone to FarCry.

I prefer DoW to RTW tbh. It was just way to short to be considered one of the best RTS games (DoW that is)

 

[brink's]

I would have given it to FarCry, but then again I would have waited for HL2 and Vampire:bloodlines to come out before handing out GOTY to D3. What, they couldn't wait a week?

 

[Bad^Hat]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaa

 

[bam23]

Doom3... what were they thinking.

 

[poo poo head]

BFV best online game, yeah right, it should have been UT2004, and hardware should have went to the NVIDIA 6800, or ATi X800
