I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

What the hell? Why am I sympathizing with them all of a sudden? I don't know why, but the shock that the game didn't win GOTY at the VGAs has just... knocked me back.

Anyone that knows me should know by now that I despise ME3 (not just because of the ending). But this just... I don't know why it makes me feel this way.

In response to the above, I'm not saying I disagree with the decision. I hate the game, and it's definitely not my GOTY. But I guess my arguments with so many passionate fans about the quality of the game sort of makes me sympathize with them as well.

Anybody else feel the same way Flood?

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

It happens to us all.

No. I thought Guild Wars 2 deserved it.

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.

Poor guys.

That's what a couple minutes can do.

No, believe me, I never wanted ME3 to win for a second. In fact, I was simply fine with them not winning GOTY.

But now... I don't know.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Good, they don't deserve an award for the -blam!- they tried to pull.

I agree with you but... I just have this feeling inside me that just sympathizes with them. I mean, about 9 months ago they were one of my favorite devs...

Yeah, I agree with this guy. I don't feel bad.

The acceptance of defeat is an invitation for its repetition.

They won best RPG, I'm happy.

Curious as to why the soundtrack wasn't included in Best Original Score though.

I think Mass Effect 3 represented the epitome of the entire Mass Effect series, and to see them not win, was kind of like seeing years of work go unappreciated in the common eye. To me, anyways. I think with all the variables and such that they had to work with to please their fanbase, and pulling it off how they did (ending aside), I believe they should have won.

But oh well, whatcha gonna do?

What did win GOTY?

It's a'me, Sesto

Mass Effect 3 was an amazing game.

When it was first released, all I heard was praise, except for the ending. Eventually, it became cool to hate the entire game. I feel sorry for Bioware that even though the responded to criticism and expanded on the ending, people still hate the game. It was absolutely amazing, and is one of my favourite games of al time.

I totally agree i wouldnt put it with my favorite game of all time but it was great. Sure i didnt like the extended cut but it did provide some answers and the effort they put in astounds me. I do not know many devs who would do that to try to please their fanbase. But its only the vgas which i dont really count for anything.

You're choices mattered in TWD. They didn't in ME3.

  • 12.07.2012 8:27 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

I've never played TWD and never will. Zombies is in that "Modern shooter" category right now for me and they never were my genre of choice to begin with.

I do feel bad though. One ending was enough to make it cool to hate on it. Other than that there were very few subjective things to rag on and no real objective flaws.

But no one remembers the culmination of the Geth/Quarian conflict. Or the team members interactions leading up to it that were at worst excellent. Just the starkid. All the rest of the work put into in back seating to the hate of that ending.

Absolutely untrue. I'd debate this if I had the time, but alas I do not.

The reason I feel sorry for them isn't because I believe ME3 deserved the award. It's because so many people that I've debated with do.

  • 12.07.2012 8:29 PM PDT

Mass Effect 3 was a very good game. I feel sorry for the team becuase they have to put up with spoilt brats who complain about the ending becuase they can't play good enough to unlock the best ending. It just angers me at how impossible the ME3 fanbase is, I can't even take them seriously. I honestly feel sorry that Bioware has such a crappy and unappreciative fanbase

play the -blam!- game and actually pay attention. You just suck at it, naturally a whiny -blam!-, or just can't pay attention to details unless you laid out to you like a five year old.
