Having only played two of those games, my vote would go for Tomb Raider. I expect this to change when I play Mario though.
VGXtreeeeme nominees are up (GOTY: Mario, TLOU, GTA5, Bioshock, Tomb Raider?)
- Thread starter chickdigger802
- Start date
So what, people hate this game now?
It's a shame that The Swapper wasn't nominated in the Independent Games category. One of the best indie games I've played in years.
For GOTY, The Last of Us is the obvious choice, for me. No idea why Tomb Raider is nominated, though. It's a good game, but not even close to GOTY quality, in my opinion.

Clockwork garbage, every year.
3D World is the best game on that list. I look forward to playing it sometime in the future.

Bioshock Infinite and TLOU are my top 2 games this year. I think I actually liked Bioshock Infinite just a little bit more than TLOU, but I'm okay with either of them winning. TLOU has a much better shot than Bioshock, though.
TLoU wins every category it was nominated in imo. Performances for joel, ellie, soundtrack, adventure game, studio (ND) and GOTY. i though GTA would be a shoe in, but for me it just sort of came and went. The last of us has stuck with me though. I'm sure it won't win them all, but i would hope it would win the vast majority of what its nominated for.
Same with Animated movies. Always snubbed!chickdigger802

Games journalists haven't played it (They probably have), I haven't played it yet. I'm mad, and mario should win.

Yea... "most anticipated" is definitely the most underwhelming list. I guess they're only looking at 6-10 months in the future, and anything after that doesn't count?
I'm not sure why. His performance as Joel was astoundingly good, but Booker wasn't all that great.
When a crap game like NNK gets a nod when fantastic games like Etrian Odyssey IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV don't then yeah.
oh and I know somebody's gonna pull the fanboy card but my opinion wouldn't change if these two were 360, Vita, Wii U, whatever exclusives instead of 3DS. Good games should get mentioned, garbage games don't; end of storeh.
TLoU for me. No one was more excited for GTAV than me though, but the fucking driving.. I was so into the game for a couple of weeks that I just sort of swallowed it but turns out it killed the longevity of the game. I just don't want to explore the world with the arcadey driving that takes me out of the game world instantly.
I play GTA to be immersed in the beautiful sandbox world they've created so it's a shame the driving is now as sucky as in most open world games.

I say TLOU loses both Action Adventure and Soundtrack to GTAV. You can not possibly match the "action adventure" scope in GTAV, and that soundtrack had so much money/work poured into it.

Remember last year when telltale won studio of the year?
The studio that can't get a stable framerate even if they tried, and where your saves are playing russian roulette on pc?

Read the previous page. They play these games before we get them
Yeah, but WE are voting on them. If the winners were chosen by reviewers there would be no problem, but it's just wrong that the public is allowed to vote for a game that nobody of them has played yet.

Everyone should vote for W101 as best Nintendo game. Because as of now, that's what it is.

Tomb Raider?
FUCKING Tomb Raider??
You taking the piss!?
Gotta say, personally, I think that's a weak list (not played Mario tho)

The three minutes I spent with Mario 3D World at the Best Buy post-E3 demo events was probably the best three minutes I spent with a game this year. I'm surprised so many people are upset it's in the GOTY category. People have played it and the developer has an incredible pedigree.
I hope it wins for the hilarious reactions it'll get.
Listing New Leaf in the best "Casual Game" category infuriates me though. Jesus Christ.

Because the industry hates handhelds for some reason.
Especially hilarious considering 2013 may have beent the greatest year for dedicated handheld software EVER.

Stanley Parable and Gone Home are amazing. I haven't played Kentucky Route Zero, but I've heard great things about Papers Please. Then there's just Battlefield 4. Yeah. A bunch of cool indie games and then Battlefield. So that's kind of weird.
My personal GOTY is between TLoU and Bioshock Infinite, but I have a feeling GTAV will win a whole bunch of awards. The fact that Walking Dead won last year's GOTY gives me hope, but I think GTAV is too big of a game with too many sales to not win Spike's GOTY. I actually really like GTAV, I just don't think it's GOTY.
Also it will be really awkward if the voice actor for fake Ellen Page in TLoU beats Beyond's real Ellen Page.
Voted TLOU wherever i could.
I would've liked to vote GTAV at least in best soundtrack section, but frankly, even though the (original) soundtrack itself was great, they barely use it in the game.
TLOU on the other hand had a fantastic soundtrack, but also used it in an effective way, so it gets the vote even in that department.
§Most anticipated is Witcher 3, out of those.
In general it probably is FFXV, though.
Also, no "best graphics/visuals"?

3d world is the only game nominated that isn't a game/movie.
It won't win.

Well..
GTAV should win this (didn't play SM3DW yet)
This worries me more than comforts me. Makes me feel like our votes probably mean jack. Not like I felt like they did all that much before but still. Also don't think they should include games released within a month of the show, sometimes a game feels better while it's still fresh than after you've played it and had time to let it process a while. This show would be better placed in late January or early February. That way people have ample time to play, and December releases don't get screwed altogether.
Anyway, I'm hoping GOTY goes to TLOU and most anticipated to Destiny.

Good to see Tomb Raider nominated, still my #3 pick of the year.
haha, are you new to the VGA's? They don't usually do that, it's not the oscars. Last year they were giving awards out in the preshow on the red carpet.
The VGA's are about new game trailers.

Read the page. Most anticipated is the only viewer-voted category. Everything else is selected by a council of reviewers.
