Is This Worth Reporting To Ofcom Guys?
 
Sorry, but I am DISGUSTED.

I just saw an advert for Fall Out New Vegas.

The voice over JUST said:

'The follow up to the 2008 Game Of The Year'.



SORRY, BUT NO.
JUST ******ING NO.

Fall Out WAS NOT 2008's Game Of The Year, Okay?

And I'm sure some of you know this.

The Game of the year for 2008 as deserved, IS...

NOT FALL OUT!


I was just wondering, if I could report this advert to Ofcom?
Do they take complaints regarding Commercials?

It's actually upset me.

I just checked Wiki again and it clearly states

Quote:

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 4 was Game Of The Year 2008.

So what will I do? Should I report it to Ofcom?

Patrick 01-12-2010 09:54 PM

It's actually considered False Advertising isn't it?

Ninastar 01-12-2010 09:54 PM

no

Smithy 01-12-2010 09:54 PM

no.

Ninastar 01-12-2010 09:54 PM

and seriously patrick, your just asking for trouble.

Stu 01-12-2010 09:55 PM

No. Plenty of publications offer game of the year awards. Fallout 3 earned that honor from quite a few of them. You have absoloutely no case.

billy123 01-12-2010 09:57 PM

No

Just checked the Official Page.

You're correct Stuart, Sorry Stu, It does state the Game of the Year for different publications..

However, GTA IV is top in all of them, Bar 3.

1 is Fable and the other 2 is Fall Out.

I still don't think it's fair, they should just have ONE and that's it.
But I guess it means there's more chance of Red Dead to win this year.

You're all clearly failing with the whole 'No.' chain you're trying to start, It was broke like 7 posts ago.

Bollocks.

I've edited it about 30 times to suit the fussy moderators on here and half the members on here's pathetic monitors.

Cute.

It is fair. It's not a vote system. It's just like different magazines nominate year end movies and music.

This is because this thing called the Opinion Concept exists in the world. Different people and different publications will invariably have different opinions.

You can't just say GRAND THEFT AUTO IV IS THE GAME OF THE YEAR. In your opinion it is, and in plenty of other peoples, but it's not a world held consensus.









So ...









No.

Wrong.

It would be simple and alot better if they just held an award ceremony and got every single Xbox and PS3 user to vote or if they don't vote they get punished.

That way we get a fair indication as to who the people want.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 01-12-2010 10:12 PM

yeah then fallout would win

Scarlett. 01-12-2010 10:13 PM

Fallout is the better game

However GTA IV has the better story

Patrick 01-12-2010 10:15 PM

Yeah bollocks Scott

GTA has one of the biggest fan bases out of ANY video game franchise because it's a very popular series so there we go.

You'd get about 300 people that'd vote Fall Out, Over A Million would vote GTA and COD and it'd be a fight between them.

With COD winning because it's the most over rated game in the world.

Josy 01-12-2010 10:15 PM

LOL Patrick, you get too worked up about stuff.

They do have things like that. They are called award shows. But again they are taken from a sample audience or critics panel because getting a worldwide consensus would be costly and useless. Every type of leading publication for every type of product imaginable has year end awards. Games are no different. Hence why the makers of the Fallout advertisment rightly called 'game of the year'. It's a useful tagline to slap in your adverts and you are allowed do it.

So no, I'm not wrong. Stop being so bloody pedantic. It's ordinary, run of the mill stuff for the video game industry. There is no problem with it and there is no revolution on the horizon.

well it wasnt even released in 08 so it has **** all relevance but still
