Uncharted 3, new Bioware game, VGA etc.

As expected, almost nothing good was even nominated, with the grid full of dogshit mega-popular games.

It blows me away that Blizzard doesn't automatically win studio of the year, every year, for WoW.

[Artemas]

Holy Shit, I just realized WiC came out three years ago, not two. What the fuck are those sneaky swedes up to?

hey zod, is chaos rising better than dowII? Because, its not quite doing it for me right now (i'm just doing the campaign). It basically just seems like a four-unit diablo-em up with cover and suppression. I liked the scale of DoW a lot more.

Man, there doesn't appear to be a decent strategy game for this year at all.

I wouldn't say that it's better but I couldn't very well put down vanilla DoW 2 since it came out last year.

just wondering if i should keep playing or not

No one is gonna watch an award show about games people have never heard of. Its like the opposite of the Oscars, where you end up seeing movies because they are "gathering buzz". Say what you will, but it all works.

Apparently everyone with taste has heard about the good games this year. Sadly, 'taste' isn't common enough to win popular votes for 'Game of the Year'.

It's not a bad playthrough but the final boss is hideously broken.

That's their logic, not mine. I mean, you've criticized my tastes, but that's not gonna change my mind. And criticizing their logic isn't gonna change the format.

[Stark]

Are you attempting to connect those two statements? Obviously, popular votes will be LCD stuff, and are thus useless. I don't give a shit about their 'format', because I don't need someone else to tell me what I should like.

I wonder if they realised RDR won cause it's cross-platform?

[Ford Prefect]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Neil Patrick Harris won out over Martin Sheen, because Harris gives nerds boners, but damn.

[Stark]

I wonder if they adjust votes for limited-platform stuff; I mean Kratos is doomed because he's PS-exclusive, but Captain COD is on everything and his dog (even fucking Wii). Poor characters, killed by a poor knowledge of statistics.

broken like super hard, broken like super easy or just broken? I don't even know why im asking, i've spent more time playing BC2 since the new map pack then i've ever played DoWII.

Poor characters, killed by a poor knowledge of statistics.

This sentence has two meanings, and both could be correct.

Stop stating an assumption as if it were a fact. I mean, I've never even played a God of War game, and I know more than enough about him. I mean, people aren't thinking "wait, Kratos isn't on the 360, fuck that guy".

[Artemas]

most people don't read the fucking backstory of games they won't play either

[General Zod]

I mean, people aren't thinking "wait, Kratos isn't on the 360, fuck that guy".

Your naivete is amusing. Some people can be incredibly tribal about their platforms.

Can we get actual proof of people doing this rather than assuming they did due to a multi platform game (and character) winning a popularity contest. Out of that list, I would have went with John Marston (yes, I've had some time with the game), does that mean I'm biased against the PS3 for not choosing Kratos?

I don't see why this is such a difficult concept to grasp. You see it happen in real elections all the time where people will vote straight Democrat or straight Republican depending on the letter next to a candidate's name.

Democrat/Republican = Microsoft/Sony fanboys

[General Zod]

Democrat/Republican = Microsoft/Sony fanboys

The point is they exclusively vote for one or the other. I don't see how to make it any simpler.

No, they don't. I don't see how to make it any simpler.

"They" or "you"?

Is Whiplash suggesting people voting for characters in games they've never played but have 'heard about' helps popularity contests?

Characters that reach a larger audience is a concept beyond some, I guess.

Well if you're gonna put it like that, what are you even bitching about then?
