You still have the OP's categories. Are we going to be ok? Mine are by no means law.

Yeah. You definitely made the right call. ;-)

Yeah this is very true. Most genres really exist on a spectrum nowadays and usually there are elements of more than just one genre. For instance RPG to not RPG ranges the spectrum from the extremes (THe extreme on the rpg side being the typical turn based rpg) to action rpgs to monster hunting games (Which some might even classify as a type of action rpg) to games with rpg elements that most would classify differently to a game that is clearly not an rpg
No, i now want Zelda in all categories, racing games too.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that immediately
Link/Epona vs not-Luigi/random horse was shit though.
Yup. And if you get really specific about the sub-genre that two or three games share then by choosing those categories you're influencing what gets highlighted, because you alone can't come up with all the categories that hundreds of readers can.
The add-on award is already a strange category because so few people voted for it.

Sunset Overdrive looks dope. This is coming from someone with no plans to pick up an Xbox One.

Done.
Ahahaha. Scrolling that list I half expected it to top the Sony and Microsoft exclusive categories as well.

Suddenly Wii has many of the most desired titles. How quickly things change.
Two E3 showings in a row does that to you. The wow factor dissipated a little.
Done.
Now it's perfect! I'll print it and frame it.
Joking aside, this is not the only time i have thought we need a redefinition of the genres and categories, cause it has become too messy. For that i too believe the OP's decisions were wise.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
What's going on there?
Main protagonist looks cool while up against enemy. Souls animation plays and hype is deflated. ;-)
Or what do you mean?

Just confirmation, that was a weird glitch(is that a glitch?)

GAF TOP TEN STATS
6/10 PS4 games ( 3 PS4 exclusives if we are counting No Mans Sky)
4/10 WiiU games ( 4 WiiU exclusives)
3/10 XB1 games ( 0 exclusives)
2/10 PC games ( 0 exclusives)
It must be noted that this is just best of E3 and not most anticipated.

I imagine the very end of the hit animation has the weapon hitbox hit the enemy hitbox and then he dies. It looks awkward because the fidelity of the rest of the game was increased but the animation is still FROM.
You wound me by doing the platform breakdown!

lol another interesting thing:
3/10 are RPG's, the most popular genre in the top ten it seems.

Is there no lock on or did the who person played this demo (I think this is the one I watched) refuse to use it?

There is lock on, guy didn't use it.

But that was gameplay.
Then I guess Uncharted 4 was gameplay as well.
Was bloodborne officially showing gameplay though? I know they had closed door demos, but I didn't catch any official streams of gameplay or anything
Does it matter? The people that were interested in the game got to see gameplay.
The awards are all about the enthusiast perspective. Splatoon won over Bloodborne as biggest surprise even though Bloodborne's first ever announcement was on stage at the Sony press conference.

Bloodborne unfortunately had a lack of official gameplay. At least we got leaks of an old build
Sure its gameplay like how racing game trailers show gameplay but what I suspect most people expect from gameplay vids is how the game will look when I have a controller in my hand playing as the character.
Zelda wins by just barely showing up? Dat Nintendo power.
An established franchise that has delivered over and over beat No Man's Sky (a game that people don't even know what it is)
Why is that surprising?

He's obviously talking about Bloodborne , the Witcher 3, UC4 etc but anyway...
What they showed of Zelda was entirely in-game. This has been confirmed multiple times.
A lot of Xenoblade gameplay was shown actually.
The little shown of Zelda was supposedly ingame
Why does it matter that Bloodborne didn't show official gameplay?

Not just established franchise, easily top 3 most acclaimed series in existence. It is not surprising.
I actually thought this would've been an easy win for Bloodborne since there were so many great Nintendo titles that it could've split the vote every which way.
I was responding to someone that said Zelda shouldn't have won because of this implying that a different game should have won.
Someone else replied to me and mentioned that the poster meant Bloodborne and Uncharted 4. I just pointed out that they didn’t show in official gameplay either.
Why would Bloodborne or Uncharted deserve to win if Zelda didn't deserve to? That was my point
To be fair, Bloodborne and not No Man's Sky (for which we have I think 7 minutes of gameplay in total) came in second.
Both have more gameplay shown than Zelda.

How was Bloodborne robbed? People have opinions, and some of us (me) don't like Souls type games. I literally could not care any less about Bloodborne. The voting reflects what people enjoy and look forward to.

Wait we have 7 minutes of gameplay for No Man's Sky?! Link please.
3.5 minutes at E3, and then the stuff that was released before. Just go on youtube and type in "No Man's Sky"
