While I wouldn't go as far as to say the nomination list is a PoS, I do agree that there should be only exclusives listed under specific platform titles. Starhawk got gypped too, but some of the other categories have some real competition.

I think you should move on and stop caring about which score to what game I distribute.

Mass Effect 3 is a GOTY contender, but not in the running for best 360 game. How does that make sense?
Regardless, I voted ME3 for GOTY. Come at me.

I'm really happy for Journey! Great Game.

Now that I think about this, they didn't gave it to ME2. This could be their consolation prize for the saga. For shame, considering the will reward one of the best series of this current gen with the worst chapter of it. Whatever...

Journey, duh.
Dust for me.
Absolutely.

Journey considered a possible contender for GotY?! VGA's partially redeemed.
EDIT: how can they nominate ZombiU, when only reviewers have played it?
EDIT 2: Thank God Action/Adventure has great games!
I hope Tears wins best song in a game. It was fantastic.
Also, why the hell do they nominate the soundtracks without even naming the composers?
Dayum, where did they get that banner for The Last of Us in most anticipated game? Looks gorgeous.

GTAV will still win anyway.
All games are awesome anyway!
Funny how Walking Dead is in nearly every category, haha. It's going to win like half of these.
Mark Of The Ninja obviously.
This. The actual awards part is like 5 minutes of the show tops anyway.
It doesn't really matter if you hate the general tone of the VGAs (doritos etc) they always have 10 or so reveals/new trailers for big games which makes it worth watching.
Hell, even the cringeworthy non-trailer parts of the show are pretty fun to watch ironically together with GAF.
From what I understand the nominated games are voted on by various reviewers from different sites/magazines.

Mhm I agree with the first part, but I still think that it was a suprisingly good game until the last hours. I had plenty of fun with it

This should really probably be the GOTY category...but yeah, really tough choice. I probably had more fun playing Mark of the Ninja, Dust and Fez, but Journey definitely left an impact like no other.
agreed. actually, the handling of women as perk characters in that game was embarrassing. with a larger role it couldve been something.
and yeah, they just want her to show up pretty please
Thankfully none of the male performances are marred with a movie star.
For SHAME tbh
p4 should be up for best RPG every year and win every time. The world will be better this way
Tekken had 4 stages, 6 characters (10 if you count the preorder ones), Paint customization mode, and customization outfits as DLC ALL FOR FREE. I know the VGA crew are ignorant, but just putting it out there. No other game aside from maybe Burnout Paradise and GT5 has ever had such customer-friendly DLC practices.

ME3 over Halo 4?
Also,I only ever watch the VGAs for the exclusives.
