Re: 2011 Video Game Award Results

I cannot stand the videogame stereotype that a game absolutely has to have multiplayer for it to be good.

Truth. The argument that Skyrim isn't GotY material since it has no multiplayer is a poor one. Frankly, The Elder Scrolls series in general is perfectly fine without multiplayer.

Re: 2011 Video Game Award Results

I flat out said it was GOTY material but it loses due to lack of multiplayer.

I enjoy single player games sometimes myself. But this is very rare. I grew up on the N64 and later which almost always had 2 people playable options. The only exception that comes to mind is Banjo and Kazooie and Pokemon snap.

Edit; And the zelda games.

Modern Warfare 3 for best shooter? Oh my god the industry is in trouble

In all fairness, I can't really recommend BF3 over MW3 because of Origin and Battlelog's combined bullshit, but that is still the most tragic award I have seen in a long time.

Yeah most of these are so mainstream, I guess I agree to an extent, but people are stircrazy to vote for things like Skyrim and they forget alot of the good games that came out this year. :\

Middie, Gears 3 is ****ing horrible, I cannot see it as GOTY or best shooter, ever. I prefer Mass Effect as a shooter over Gears... but anyways...

Batman for GOTY imho, Skyrim was godawful on PC, the interface made me want to kill someone. I can't agree with Bethesda for studio of the year for that reason as well. They DO NOT know how to make decent game interfaces. It's just pathetic how bad it is. The gameplay was pretty legit, but oh god the interface... ugh. Also, the game is so obnoxiously buggy, there's so many ways to level up using bugs.

Bastion won 3 awards, yay Best indie shoulda went to Bastion too though, Minecraft is more like a toy than a game. I can't call it a game, at all. Spike is just corporate as **** and shouldn't be hosting an awards show that's basically just time for a bunch of game trailers to be shown. It's just that this one is the only one televised, so a lot of people watch it.
