I respectfully disagree with their choice

 

[SlimySnake]

What are you even talking about? It's not great in either of those areas.

But Fallout 4 didn't excel at ether of those things.

If we're talking gameplay, Bloodborne has that on lockdown and also has a really cool Lovecraftian world.

Anyways, congrats Beth.

Fallout's gameplay is better than Witcher 3's gameplay. I didnt say it had the best.

Bloodborne or MGSV had the best gameplay of the year. I am just glad that a game that plays well won over a game that put story over gameplay.

Says who, you? To me, it doesn't.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Heroes of the Storm winning over Kerbal Space Program? Really? Why mix strategy and simulation categories? They're not the same thing.

 

[terrible]

What the hell at this list. One of those games is an Adventure Game.

And I thought the Oscars were bad.

 

[noshten]

Finally a GOTY winner we* can all disagree on together

Spoiler

by we* I mean the vocal majority, which i'm apart of

 

[johnnydrama]

Thank god it wasnt Witcher 3. Gameplay won over story. Sanity prevails.

 

[Sifl]

Buggiest Game of the Year wins.

Seriously, I didn't even make it to the fucking character creation screen before something bugged out. The dialogue kept freezing on the first cutscene, and would only advance when the game was paused. Once I got to the end of it, it just flat out froze on the character creator. Happened twice so I returned it.

 

[byropoint]

Some strange choices there, can't say I agree with most of them.

Yeah nah.

 

[Nokterian]

HotS seems out of place with the rest of those games.

It does it doesn't fall under that category like at all..would prefer City Skylines having that award instead. But fallout 4? Really skipping all those other games?

 

[A Serious Man]

Thank god it wasnt Witcher 3. Gameplay won over story. Sanity prevails.

Rocket League won?

 

[Noirulus]

Fallout 4 gameplay > Bloodborne gameplay.

*Deep breath*

Hahahahahajajajaja.

You're kidding right? It's way better than FO3 but the gameplay for FO4 comes down to find enemy -> spray til dead -> find next enemy. It is a joke compared to Bloodborne, which is nuanced and requires tactics.

 

[funkystudent]

Fallout 4 gameplay versus Witcher 3 gameplay is a bum fight if I ever saw one.

 

[GeoGonzo]

Holy shit at Fallout Shelter over Lara Croft Go! So many terrible winners...

And yet the Witcher 3 won the game design award.

I concur

 

[RedAssedApe]

Don't see bloodborne here

 

[cws]

As surprising as Taylor Swift getting the Album of the the year Grammy. Still congrats to Bethesda.

 

[DownGrader]

"Family Game of the Year" on basically every award ceremony seems like "eh, let's give something to Nintendo" category.

 

[la flama blanca]

Fallout 4 gameplay > Bloodborne gameplay.

The fuck is this lmaoooooo. Garbage post of the year

 

[CecilRousso]

Been playing games since the NES, and I still don't get how people see the adventure genre when nominating games. MGSV is an adventure game?

Adventure Games have a pretty clear definition to me (and I would think most people) these days. Life is Strange, Tales from the Borderlands, Until Dawn, Kings Quest. These are all adventure games.

I only had to reload saves on one of these games due to game breaking glitches. It wasn't fallout. It was the witcher

They used that category just to load up on more action games.

Game of the Year

• Bloodborne
• Fallout 4

EVERY. DAMN. TIME. wtf?

Either way, congrats to Bethesda on a great game. Despite all the

reasonable

complaints, I was happy with the game and enjoyed the time I spent with it. Looking forward to seeing what Bethesda has for 2016.

 

[Stiler]

I really would like to know how you can honestly say Fallout 4 is a better rpg.

Terrible cliche storyline
Terrible writing quality
old engine with janky animation quality circa 1999 (don't even tell me "it's a Bethseda thing, Morrowind was freaking amazing looking when it came out, they just got lazy).

I mean the Witcher just trumps it in almost every-single category, better story, better characters, better choices to make, better animation/technicals, etc.

 

[Syf]

Combining strategy and sim is sorta weird, but congrats to HotS too. Game is coming along.

Nope. The combat was awful. Worst combat in a FPS that I've played in a while.

 

[Yabberwocky]

I'm trying not to judge, I'm trying not to judge...

Reboot Lara Croft over Evie, Max, Hannah or Geralt?!

...I'm trying not to judge, I'm trying not to judge...

Congrats to Ori, at least!

 

[NoFaceNico]

Nice. Congrats Bethesda! I'm happy!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This thread is going places for sure.

You should tell the Academy to stop choosing these awards based on watching you play through games then.

[GnawtyDog]

Establishment endorsement.

 

[CloudWolf]

Disgusting

 

[OléGunner]

Nah but Lara for character of they year?lmfao.

Geralt has more character in his pinky toe than Lara has in total.
Sounds like a pandering pick to appease a game with a prominent female lead.

 

[WadeitOut]

Fallout 4 gameplay > Bloodborne gameplay.

Bingo. If they had an award for fan base elitism Bloodborne would be going home with some crystal.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Hehe

Grats to Fallout 4, it's a fun game.

 

[VanCityGamer]

Some of those categories are fucking retarded. Tomb Raider with best character? Uhhh no. What's with those nominees for best action game?? Fallout 4 as GOTY is questionable but I guess acceptable.

 

[Rushersauce]

What a fucking joke. Doesn't deserves anything.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Bloodborne got robbed.

Seriously though. Fallout 4 is incredible.
I'm level 76 now and I still just love to wonder around finding random shit to do.

Just made this today.

Its amazing how its still fun to just pass the time building stuff and wandering around after how many hours I've put into it. Fantastic game. Totally deserves any GOTY award it gets.

Man I'm 40 hours in and haven't even toyed with the settlement stuff yet. That's really impressive.

But yeah I agree, the game's not the most polished and the quests aren't usually terribly engaging but the world is just so fucking dense and gorgeous that I could wander around looting and fighting and exploring forever

 

[JustCheezze]

What this generation has taught me is that if you make a game that is grand on its scale on the outside, but actually run with crutches, lie your way through the public, your game is GOTY material.

Such is Fallout 4.

 

[napalmjam]

Soo bitter why does it bother anyone if a game won an award ? Other ppl enjoy fallout deal with it and move on its not a big deal .

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Helldivers for Handheld game of the year? That's an interesting choice.
