No denying that but ME3's soundtrack just didn't stand out like the first game.

Journey and Max Payne 3 would've been better choices IMO

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

So good.

 

[Atilac]

You gotta love how Gaf freaks out when the general consensus loves a game that they despise. Especially when it's only because of the ending. Lol

The game sucks ass, it's poorly written, cheaply produced, and lazily assembled. The largest nail in its coffin is the star-child. Only the ending lol

 

[Cerberus]

I felt all the trailers for AC3 weren't as good as the trailers for the previous games in the series.

Lords of Shadow 2 would be my pick for best trailer.

I wish this was true, and I actually like the ending.

Yes, keep pretending that the only problems people have with the game is the ending.

Journey didnt get nominated for best soundtrack?? My mind is full of fuck

It did get nominated, but it lost (to ME3).

 

[Gillian Seed]

It plays better than 2, so what else could it be? I still like 1 the best personally, but 3 was a very well polished game with fantastic gameplay.

The story is worse, the characters are worse, the dialogue is worse, it's shorter, has less replay value, and horrible plot twists. But hey, it plays more dude bro-ish!!!!

Fantastic?

I like ME3, but I'd call the gameplay adequate at best. The level/mission design is straight out of the generic shooter playbook. There's only a couple of enemy types. And you largely play the same way throughout the game, never really having to grow or deal with new challenges.

And your "choices" still boil down to cliched superhero/evil dick routines, with instant win prompts (though not as bad as ME2). It never really gets nuanced with your decision-making, or tests your problem-solving abilities.

 

[dragonbane]

Oh well, even a broken clock is still right twice a day. I love that trailer; it's still more intriguing to me than Beyond: Two Souls. It's probably too early to say, but I do wish Cage pursued Kara as his next game instead.

I can guarantee you you will see something like it next-gen.

 

[Eidan]

From GT? Would anyone be surprised after doritosgate? Hell after all the COD choices they've picked after the last few years? Between the shows and articles they do on the site and the stuff they produce on Spike TV they are beyond desperate to try and catch that dudebro audience.

Your reaction will be the sweetest of them all.

 

[StarWolf]

No GT awards today?

Also, considering how good ME 1 & 2 were, it does amaze me how they seemed to really slack off with 3. Not just the ending either. Did they just not have their heart into it?

 

[meppi]

Well at least they got the "best racing game" spot on.

me3 was really really rushed for time. so was me2, considering it has fuck all to do with either me1 or me3.

 

[HK-47]

The Best Story, Soundtrack and RPG awards are blowing my mind. How shitty can GT be?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Wait, Virtue’s Last Reward wasn’t even nominated for best story?

Joke awards confirmed.

 

[Derrick01]

Your reaction will be the sweetest of them all.

Unless you get off on indifference I think you're going to be disappointed. I just said I'm already expecting it.

Now that you mention it, I do have the strangest boner right now.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Were Agni's philosophy or UE4 not eligible for some reason? If Kara isn't a game either it seems like those two would at least be nominated.

 

[Metalmurphy]

True, Agni's philosophy definetly should. UE4... meh.

Maybe the Samaritan one.

 

[B.O.O.M]

haha what now? Dishonored didn't even get a nomination for best trailer? fucking lol

It should have been nominated AND won. And there was absolutely nothing special about the GTA trailer. What a joke

 

[Y2Kev]

Best soundtrack not going to Journey is a goddamn war crime.

Agreed. I think these people should be dragged off to the Hague.

GT has always been slathered in Mountain Dewritos, like when they gave CoD4 best graphics the year it came out (against Crysis), but ME3 really only has a few good tracks. ME1 is the only OST in the series that actually has a great overall OST, IMO.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Lords of Shadow 2 would be my pick for best trailer.

Last of us?

 

[Fatalmephisto]

Never cared for the VGA's. My game of choice wasn't up there for GOTY but its GOTY for me. That game is RE6.

This isn't the VGAs.

 

[Cerberus]

Last of us?

I'm on a media blackout for that game. I'm sure the new VGA trailer is amazing though. Should probably bookmark it and watch it after I play through the game.

5 more months to go....

 

[Fatalmephisto]

This isn't the VGAs.

Ahh crap, I'm sorry i completely misread the thread title. Sorry about that

I usually steer clear of this type of stuff, but I felt compelled to say something since I value my work. I have never, ever tried to appeal to the "dudebro" audience for any of the content I put my heart into.

[alr1ght]

also, apparently that song they play in the start of every episode is called "Prehab Grab" by Cut One. I can't find any info about it anywhere though.

 

[Eusis]

Wouldn't that be for if Halo 4 was running with awards, not BLOPS2?

 

[Derrick01]

The same stuff given best shooter over far cry, which while not as good as FC2, still did lots of cool little things that shooters don't even try anymore.

You sure they don't try to aim for the dudebro crowd?

 

[ezekial45]

Even though COD has a tremendous amount of content for its MP, the amount of lag and Treyarch's lack of action should've been taken into account.

 

[Uno Venova]

Best Multiplayer Game

No qualms here, a great multiplayer I've been playing ever since I bought it, and a surprisingly good SP.

 

[Spookie]

I guess that clown Shane pulled rank here since he has a huge hard on for the CoD series no matter how shit the game happens to be.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Best Multiplayer Game

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 ("The King of multiplayer")

I think this is pretty fair, glad to see some nods to Chivalry.

lifetime achievement award.

I'm surprised GT had time to make these recent videos with Activation's cock in their mouth all the time.

Now that trailer makes sense.

Finally my favorite of the year gets some reconition!
