Do they know Japanese games exist?

Seriously these awards are an absolute joke. Fallout 4 nominated for story lol.

[Defunkled]

Fallout 4 taking best RPG over Witcher III, Undertale, AND Bloodborne?!

HAHAHAHA

 

[Wanderer5]

Whew Rise didn't win best story. Not sure about Lara Croft winning the character award, but eh she has great moments in the game and a improvement from 2013.

 

[Ascenion]

Fallout 4....RPG of the year......what the actual hell.....

 

[generic_username]

perfect gif to some up this joke award show.

 

[antonz]

Fallout 4....RPG of the year......what the actual hell.....

Bethseda is king of being fellated by the industry

 

[MegaSackman]

This awards used to be decent... What happened?

 

[Rajang]

Del Toro a better comedian than that comedian.

 

[Hitokiri03]

The same will happen on the gdc awards.

 

[Wanderer5]

Oh I forgot that Monster Hunter 4U isn't freaking nominated for handheld. What the hell.

 

[Rajang]

Kojima.

That Mark Cerny cameo.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Wanderer5]

Where Konami to prevent this?!

Good for him, especially after all the shit from last year.

 

[Azalean]

Well deserved. RL is a blast.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Rocket LEEEAAAAAGUE

Watching people react to a show like DICE is infinitely more entertaining than the show itself. Getting the industry's opinion is fascinating, and seeing people call the devs who make these games idiots for the winners they pick is hilarious.

This host is laughably bad, though.

 

[GavinUK86]

[Shaanyboi]

that jacket must be hot as fuck

 

[generic_username]

Lol Konami did not turn up.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

lol MGSV wins adventure game of the year but nobody is here from Konami.

Hilarious.

Gotta use that again:

 

[LiK]

fucking dead

 

[Kobun Heat]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[cramoss]

Lmao fucking Konami once again

 

[Sn4ke_911]

So true. What an absolute joke.

 

[GavinUK86]

What the fuck is wrong with Konami.

 

[BY2K]

What the hell is with those dishes sound in the background!?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Game of the Year: Fallout 4

 

[Azalean]

I expected TW3 to take it.

 

[Mr Moose]

Fallout 4 won...?

Thisisbullshit.gif

Bloodborne was robbed.

 

[MegaSackman]

Game of the Year: Fallout 4

Quoted because it's not enough.

 

[SZips]

I expected TW3 to take it.

Most people probably expected that.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Game of the Year: Fallout 4

 

[Wanderer5]

Congrats I suppose:

Just feel a bit glad that Rise of the Tomb Raider didn't win alot of the awards it was in. It a good game, but feels disappointing in ways, and in turn overrated with some of the high praise.:/

 

[Hitokiri03]

lol

Glad I didn't watch it.

GDC will be the same thing.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Fallout 4 wins GOTY over Witcher 3. Bloodborne gets nothing...

 

[MegaSackman]

We should have anticipated this the moment Shelter won best mobile game.
Default winner.

 

[Steverulez]

3 for Ori? Awesome! Such a great game and well deserved 😃

Edit, same for Rocket League!

 

[GavinUK86]

Ok, just caught up on Youtube... while Fallout 4 was a really great game, it just doesn't stand up to The Witcher 3 imo. Strange choices. Or was it? Most of the winners did have talks at DICE. *adjusts tinfoil hat*. Happy for Kojima and embarrassed for Konami. What must've been going through his mind when MGSV won and no one turned up to accept. Kiki Wolfkill's face and reaction said it all. Pretty shit awards tbh.

 

[Jintor]

Fallout 4? You're kidding me.

 

[Meccanical]

So what these people in the industry are telling me, that out of all the games that came out last year, Fallout 4 was the best and most well directed?

What?

 

[Vibranium]

Fallout 4 taking best RPG over Witcher III, Undertale, AND Bloodborne?!

HAHAHAHA

What the hell. Even people who love Fallout 4 will tell you it's not really an in-depth RPG. I could see it winning a shooter or open-world award but not that.

 

[matrix-cat]

Fallout 4 for Best RPG, Best Game Direction, and Overall GOTY.

 

[SamNW]

So what these people in the industry are telling me, that out of all the games that came out last year, Fallout 4 was the best and most well directed?

What?

That is what they're telling you. And given that they are people in the industry—a lot of very experienced people in the industry—I think it's worth engaging with what they have to say in a more critical way.

This isn't me calling you out specifically. I definitely don't mean it like that. But in the interest of being informed, thoughtful consumers of the medium, we should probably respond to awards like this differently than "bullshit" and "_______ got robbed."

DICE certainly has its issues, but the people voting on these awards aren't idiots.

 

[Demoskinos]

Can't agree with FO4 winning but I guess Bethesda's peers thought the game was worthy so.... *shrug*
