Then CoD wins every year by default.
I really liked Dishonored, but it was a little linear in places and the moral choice was basically 'don't kill people or everything goes horribly wrong'.
Hopefully the upcoming story DLC will be different to that though.

Please explain why The Walking Dead is up there then?
[editline]16th November 2012[/editline]
It's really not that bad of a list, I mean for spike standards. At least they're recognizing games that aren't triple A titles.

You realize the TV series is quite popular, yes? To the point where updates about it are broadcast and posted on mainstream news?
[QUOTE=JerryK;38477267]also Dishonored was alright but they fucked on some things
like the whole "you should use non-lethal but it'll be really boring because there will only be one way to be non-lethal, but look at these cool lethal gadgets and weapons while you're at it!"[/QUOTE]
That's why I just throw them off the balcony after taking them down non-lethaly, it's so much fun :v:...
wait... What was the question again?

What mainstream news are you watching that broadcasts TWD updates?
Because it seems like you're talking out of your ass. I've only really seen the game discussed online by players, and it's not like the game could be up there because it's really good :downs:

You're telling me if you google something you'll get results?
[B]Holy shit[/B], this is amazing I never would have known
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
BLACK OPS II LITERALLY JUST FUCKING CAME OUT YOU CAN'T NOMINATE IT FOR GAME OF THE YEAR
I really hate gaming sometimes
if something is popular it instantly means it's good, right?
Black Ops and Halo 4 are GOTY apparently even when they're both just samey shooters
Mass Effect 3 was fucking horrible by the way, and I've been a massive fan of Mass Effect. I rocked my N7 hoodie with pride, played the first one 5 times over, and I thought 3 was a piece of shit, ending aside.
Ass Creed 3 is fun, I'm a long time fan of that as well, but it ain't no GOTY
Dishonored had some ideas, and it, alongside Walking Dead are the only 2 I'm willing to accept up there.

Are you even bothering to think about your posting now? You asked about news outlets that talk about The Walking Dead, I provided. No sarcastic remarks necessary in a pathetic attempt to argue back.
Walking Dead is fantastic, deserves a place up there more than most of, if not all, of those titles.
My favourite game of the year isn't up for GOTY (ssx) but is up for Individual Sports so that's something I guess.
Dishonored or Mass Effect don't really deserve it.
Where the fuck is FTL?

Did you read the OP or go to the site, they're just up for Shooter awards which is fair considering this has been crap year for shooters.
I'm worried how Samuel L Jackson will do as a host since all previous hosts have been such gringe fests.

I was talking about the game, you aren't going to give GOTY to a television series :downs:
Most of my friends who watch the show and don't play computer games have never heard of TWD game, that or they assume it's the flash game that they keep showing during advertisements. I have yet to see TWD game shown on television (I'm sure there's commercials, but not like Blops 2 or Halo 4)
I really want to see some sources where mainstream news is broadcasting TWD game updates, and no google is not a mainstream news source.
Hell I don't even see them broadcasting updates for blops 2 or halo 4, you're talking out of your ass and you know it.
(let me guess, you're going to say that it's only up there because name recognition)
[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38477863]Where the fuck is FTL?[/QUOTE]
FTL isn't even close to GOTY quality.
-rip merge-
been thinking about getting the walking dead is it really that good?
I didn't enjoy Dishonored. It had so much potential but it didn't turn out very good by the end of it. It felt like they established this really interesting world and had great gameplay elements, but then didn't know what to do with them.
Wow.....I am disappoint. AC3 is alright, but it sure isn't GOTY material. ME3 is a fucking trainwreck, don't know why its even being considered. Black ops 2 JUST came out....how does it qualify that damn quickly? TWD and Dishonored seem to be the only logical choices so far.
[QUOTE=Valdor;38477876]I was talking about the game, you aren't going to give GOTY to a television series :downs:[/QUOTE]
So maybe you missed the part where I was talking about the TV show.
For the other part of your argument, it's posted all over IGN, Youtube, Gamespot, Kotaku, etc.
Nowhere did I say that TV news (aside from G4 if that can even be counted) broadcasts about the game itself.
so is the walking dead actually a spectacular game or was it just like pretty much like every other telltale game but it just so happened to be about a popular tv series?

FTL won't get GOTY until it's a mobile game.
On tablets, it would probably win it.
[QUOTE=FpShepard;38477372]I really hope fez doesn't win "best indie game", that cockbag phil fish doesn't deserve more ego.[/QUOTE]
Yes lets not let a legitimately good indie game with insane levels of polish not win any awards. Not because the game is bad, buggy or generally shit, but because the guy who made it has an ego
This makes complete sense

It's a boring game with no objectives and tries to push itself as art.

Where is Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2, and or just anything else? I think we need another Vidya Games Awards from 4chan.[/QUOTE]
Sleeping dogs is not goty material at all. Good game but not goty material
BL2 while good and probably worthy of goty nominee material, I wouldn't say deserves to actually win.
Most of that list is actually pretty decent, mostly.

"Pretty decent" isn't GOTY material either. This year has been pretty stagnant in regards to games IMO. Just about every major release has been met with a resounding "okay" (or in the case of ME3 "ASDFKAJSD").
