You're killing me with the spoilers, bro.

Though I like the new spoiler features. Much better than before.

Titanfall wins best overall game? A game that is another take on Call of Duty with exact same gunplay from what I've seen and XP ON SCREEN experience but with mechs? And it won over MGS V, Witcher 3 and The Division for crying out loud!? Christ gaming is in the shitter.

My hype before Titanfall reveal: None

My hype when Titanfall was revealed: Very little

My hype for Titanfall when everyone is hyping up Titanfall: Please stop talking about Titanfall
 

Pie and Beans

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I think I'm already sick of Titanfall and it doesn't even seem to be the developers fault!
 
My heart (inner fanboy) wants to cry foul over the best platformer winner, but my head (months of playing the Daily Challenge App) tells me this is a good choice.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
So if TitanFall won best game of E3, why did it not win best new franchise?

At this rate though, TitanFall may take CoD's place. It's just new enough to be interesting but familiar enough to attract the CoD crowd and it had the CoD pedigree.
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I liked the winners of best platformer and best PS3 game.

I didn't like the no nomination of FFXV for best trailer.

The biggest surprise is kinda useless now I think since Microsoft dropped DRM.
 
This.

Also I'm surprised with most gaming journalist ignoring Final Fantasy XV. In the PS2 era it would of garner a lot of awards. I guess it just shows how much FFXIII has damaged the series.

Most press didn't nominate it because it wasn't playable. Same with KH3. I think IGN wanted to give a special nod to those games. (Even though XV should have won best trailer)

How do games shown only in trailer form win something like "Best Wii U Game". I a mystified. And the 3DS list is just barren for seemingly no reason...

It should of been nominated for Best Trailer but the true best trailer wasn't even nominated either.

They didn't fix what wasn't broken, then they gave it fresh gameplay ideas and a new universe. Award deserved.

I just don't get the appeal of Titanfall.

I can understand the appeal on some level for those who really can't get enough shooters but all these game of the show awards for it have me baffled. I thought it was kind of bland.

For me to get over my shooter fatigue it needs to be doing something new, like Destiny.

Yeah, they ran with a stale ass recipe, threw in some mechs - Amazing, what a stellar display of creativity! They need more awards, they need a sea of rewards they can swim in.

Standing ovation from here, 10/10.

Destiny and Division both bring new and interesting next-gen ideas to the shooter - the online MMO aspect is brilliant. TitanFall is just a faster CoD with mechs and no real single-player campaign. Destiny and Division can be forgiven for that because it justifies the online aspect but TitanFall hasn't justified it yet.

It wasn't playable but there was a lot more shown than simply the trailer, like during developer roundtables.
I mean it doesn't really change games that cannot be played being the best thing at the show. Just seems ridiculous to me.
