I raged at lolwalking dead when it won GOTY. Seriously, I bet that a good amount of people that voted for it were like "hur dur, walking ded. i dun car if i dunt pley vidio gaems cus walking ded is awsum."

Besides, Walking Dead isn't even that great in the first place. It can die with 16 and Pregnant, Toddlers and Tiaras, and Jersey Shore.

The game has absolutely nothing to do with the show and I highly doubt it won because Walking Deadheads flooded the VGA poll. Fans of the show don't even know about the game.

Do you have proof that the walking dead fans don't know anything about the game or are you just making assumptions? I also watch the Walking Dead and love it so am I not a fan?

Because nearly everyone I know who obsesses over TWD on TV doesn't even game?

Just the fact that you guys actually think show fans voted for this and caused the win is so lulzy.

Its because they are damn idiots.

The walking dead was fantastic. Most emotionally evoking form of Media I have ever interacted with. No book, movie or game has made me feel as invested into the world and characters as Telltale's game.
Deserves every award it gets.

I thought last years VGAs were better in terms of suprise game reveals but this years was meh. Was surprised that no new IPs were announced (besides Phantom Pain but its apparently just MGS 5). I thought some of the parts where Samuel Jackson was in different games was pretty funny ,along with Chief, Claptrap, and Shepard's COTY clips. Also some of the "World Premieres" were cool like The Last of Us, GOW Judgement, Bioshock: Infinite, South Park, etc. Hopefully next year can be improved with more handing out of awards and more exclusive suprise game reveals.

The Dark Souls 2 announcement made this the best VGAs yet.

Clap trap shouldn't even been nominated character of the year.

Really disappointed in Best Score Category.
CoD didn't win a single one, pretty funny.

Someone who likes the VGAs any year: please explain to me how they're a legitimate award show for the general gaming public and why I shouldn't just compare the metacritic scores all the best-selling games of the year on December 31st and settle it that way. I implore you.

The awards part of the show is always bad, but Samuel L. Jackson was great.

Damn you are quick with insults. Too bad when I look at a game I play it for gameplay reasons. Since, you know? That is what a game is all about. Since, TWD was all about story and not about gameplay I need a better explanation to why it beat out games that have more replay value and gameplay mechanics than just "story was awesome better than any book or movie I read" which to me sounds like you barely read or watched any emotional ones.

The sad part with that is I have played VN's with more gameplay than TWD.

Anyone else agree? There weren't any amazing games announced,


I disagree.

They announced a sequel to the game that was everything Skyrim wanted to be.

It's an amazing game, denying it just makes you appear like you have autism or something. It's pretty disheartening.

I didn't watch it but the VGAs are always bad. Walking Dead is an okay game franchise but I wouldn't give it GOTY.

  • 12.08.2012 12:39 AM PDT

I was at work, I didn't get to watch them. Kind of wish there was somewhere I could watch the full show at.

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

I think it reflects the selection of games this year, which was NOT very good. Last year we had Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Portal 2, Minecraft, and a lot of other really stellar and noteworthy titles come out.
This year... about the most high-profile game released was Assassin's Creed 3, and Halo 4 (which, really, was just another halo game), and Dishonored. Out of those three, Dishonored is the first that's got an original premise and felt the most fresh. Last year's sequels were all sequels to games that had come out many years before, but this time the sequels either had similar games appearing very recently or just weren't as innovative as past titles.

Furthermore, the industry is holding its breath for the release of new consoles next year. Hopefully by then we'll see some games running that ultra-sexy Unreal Engine 4 with its dynamic destructible environments and crazy awesome lighting effects. Plus, the Wii U is still in its infancy.

It'll probably be a better show next year, but I think the reason this year's show sucked so much is because the games that came out this year were really lackluster.

Nuff thing much. I think Halo is awesome:D

Wake me, when you need me.

I agree about lolwalking dead. I don't know why it won because it's nothing short of another generic indie game. But any member of the flood will defend it with their life.


I'll proceed to be quoted with "You obviously have never played it" because thats all WD fanboys have as a counter argument. I've played it, and it most definitely doesn't deserve GOTY or any award for that matter.

Halo 4 was bad. Black Ops II was CoD. AC3 was good.

Because Halo 4 does deserve it, right? Maybe Black Ops?

Don't be stupid. The games that were running for it were extremely average. It was a contest to see which game was the best at being average.

Funny that a game that was below average than any of the other nominees was GOTY.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Didn't the Walking Dead game cost like, 400 Microsoft Points?
400 M$ Points per episode. There were five episodes.

Lol @ people hating on Walking Dead. You can debate if it's GotY, sure, but it's definitely not below average.
