If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

The VGAs are the same every year: pointless awards nobody should take seriously that are decided and consumed mostly by idiots, padding an hour of advertisements. The VGAs are symptomatic of most of the problems with the video game industry, not least of which is that there's actually an audience for that kind of god-awful crap.

I just wanted a big surprise...VGA10 would've been a great time for Bungie to reveal their next game! Dark Souls II was a good surprise, but everything else was pretty bad...
huh...? We're talking about Bungies new IP. The vga's would be a waste for destiny.

Appearance of Jack Black was the only highlight...otherwise I find myself wondering where all these people come from.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

A interactive novel won GOTY. Just lol.

hmm

I just wanted to see Destiny.

  • 12.07.2012 9:27 PM PDT

The amount of ignorance on this forum is hilarious.

An actual good and unique game won GOTY and they are all pissed because their generic space shooter/button-pressing-simulator didn't win an award.

It's an adventure game. They've been around for decades.

Small Community, Lots of Fun. We do Halo, Minecraft, and much more.

I didn't watch, but I assume it was a bunch of crap, a few game trailers, and showing like 3 awards, cause that is what it always is. Someone needs to make a better one, with more wight, and a non-idiotic trophy.

It was literally 3 awards, a few game trailers, and a grand total of - get ready - TWO world premiere announcements. Compared to the FOURTEEN they had last year.

Those world premiere games were Dark Souls II, which looked awesome, and something called The Phantom Pain, which was the most bizarre and confusing six-minute trailer ever created. Seriously, it was six minutes long, and it was excruciating to watch. The best part? Apparently it was just Hideo Kojima trolling America.

Mr. Jackson did a wonderful job, but everyone else was awkward as hell. And I can't stand when they get up in front of the microphone and call themselves and everyone else there "nerds." Not that I put a negative connotation to the word, it just seems to me like they're demoting and downplaying the hard work of developers and the passion of people who play video games.

You won't see that kind of attitude at the Emmys or the Oscars. It just makes the VGA's look bad and it attaches a label to video games, rather than making it seem like gaming is for everyone.

Yep which is really sad. Honestly I seriously question who voted for it for GoTY.

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.

That is how the VGA's have always been a bunch of people that he most part don't understand the industry let alone the people that play the games. It is more about just showing things off for new upcoming games nothing more nothing less.

Last year it was no surprise that Skyrim snagged the GotY, although I was anticipating Akrham City.
But this year was quite a surprise. I in all honestly had all money on Dishonored or Assassin's Creed III. The Walking Dead was certainly a great game, but I just cannot picture it being a GotY.

Nope I played it and it was a good game in terms of story, but as for the actual gameplay which is almost as important as the story it was severely lacking. It is essentially an interactive novel with some gameplay aspects thrown in which imo isn't impressive.

Yeah, you're right. I'd still like to see good games get rewarded and developers praised, instead of being introduced by someone who probably has never heard of their game and then prompted to give a 15 second speech.

That's another thing. They go out and get all of these big-name people to introduce games, even though hardly any of them have probably played. On one hand, it's good for the VGAs to get big names because it makes their event seem more relevant, but on the other hand the people who know what's going on will see the event and the awards given as a joke with absolutely no credibility.

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.
