Fallout 3 GotY: X-Play RPGotY

What did you expect from a game by a Russian company? Even if the game is 100x better than something made in the US during the whole year, it's still never going to be rated very high in the US (sadly). King's bounty is not the only such game this year. Take, for example Sublustrum (aka Outcry) or Collapse, or Turgor (aka Tension).

Ukraine and Poland aren't exactly Russia, but I think STALKER and The Witcher did make it to some GOTY rankings last year.
 
They might have. STALKER, though, was made by Germans, Witcher by the polish... King's Bounty was made by 1C, a Russian company, which is what I was getting at. And I assure you, HOMM is a popular in Poland as it is in Ukraine or Russia.
 
Hmm, you're right actually. For some reason I always though it was just German developers with Ukrainian staff. >___< Apparently, it was made by the same people who made Cossaks.

And no, an average American does not distinguish those. I have met a few educated ones though, who did not ask me if I was from Russia when I said I was Ukrainian =)

I was already getting confused by Hooked Gamers' declaration that Fallout 3 is the best game across all platforms but somehow not the best game on the Xbox 360, and now G4 X-Play declares that Fallout 3 is RPG of the Year while Fable II takes Game of the Year. So Fallout 3 is a better RPG than Fable II but Fable II is a better game? Ok.

Yeah, well a dime and and an X-Play review togeather don't exactly add up to 10 cents.

Their reviews were never great, but the show was worth watching. But when they finally started making money the show got shittier and shittier. Personally I feel it became unwatchable when they added that damnable chat scrolling across the screen. It blocked out the reviews and anything else on the screen, and what for? To see the inane and assinine (spelling?) blathering of idiots.
And finally, it's just not funny anymore and their reviews are so ungodly biased and obviously bought that that's become the real joke of the show.
 
Nah, this is how companies split profit. A friggin' cartel. "Hey, well leave you the GOTY but instead get the RPGOTY, that way we're all making money".

I sincerely hope that is sarcasm/humor.
 
well, i could see it going the other way around...

fo3 get game of the year, and fable 2 getting rpg of the year, because lets be honest, fo3 sucks ass as a rpg, and does ok as a fps.

of course, i would prefer fo3 never go near anyones goty lists.
 
^ Ohh, but if what you suggest happens, the Cosmic Irony would be gone, and the world would collapse!

We can't let it happen! Let's nominate GoW2 for RPGOTY!

Well people in Germany know the difference pretty well though. Cause of history and the many people that moved to Germany either from Russian,Ukraine, Kazakhstan or other parts (I think even Uzbekistan)
 
^ Well, I'm pretty sure most Europeans have an idea by now, but it is irrelevant to my argument about the American domination of the gaming market and the 'average American' relative close-mindedness.
