The Walking Dead deserves to win. GOTY for me at least.
Natural Selection 2.
I thought you guys would all learn to never take Spike's VGA garbage seriously by now
I hope we get another Vidya Gaem Awards
[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;38478743]Dishonored is on the list for best graphics. lol
Fucking TF2-esque graphics.[/QUOTE]
Ever heard of a thing called "style?" Realistic is not always the best looking.
Also, I don't recall TF2 looking like this.

Where the hell is Borderlands 2? That game is legitimately GOTY material.

If only that mission weren't so short. It was the most interesting place in the whole game.

lol
Dishonored isn't graphically stellar but there's literally no connection to TF2 at all.
2013 will be some fucking stiff competition tho,BioShock Infinite,GTA V,Tomb Raider and some other awesome games are on the scene.

Nah, Spike will just vote Modern Warfare 4 in every category.
I went through ME3 and i enjoyed it a fair bit. Now if they just make something like ME1's atmosphere and sense of scale, ME2's character building and ME3's Combat.. game of the year, all years
Max Payne 3 was really underrated. I don't think anybody realizes how much work Rockstar put into it.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;38478703]It's $24.99 for all the 5 episodes. Worth it I'd say. However it's a point and click game, so it may not suit everyone, I wasn't really interested in it when it came out just because of that.
Edit: Oh, a lot of people are saying that TWD game is more true to the comic than the show is. Read the comics instead.[/QUOTE]
point and click but holy shit that sounds like a steal if you really like the show

Unless it's skyrim, or hl2 (doing it right), a good cartoonish art style shits on realism. Big time.
TF2 looks amazing because of it. Just imagine if Dishonored or TF2 were trying to look "Realistic"

pretty fucking scary, right?

ummm no sir I think you're the idiot here
you'd have to be literally insane to actually believe dishonored has tf2 style graphics
two entirely different art styles. That's like saying Van Gogh is daVinci-esque

[QUOTE=rinoaff33;38477191]Is it bad that the only game I've bought this year is Torchlight 2?
And I didn't even buy it, I was gifted it.[/QUOTE]
I haven't bought or been gifted any games at all this year.
The titles just haven't interested me.
[QUOTE=koeniginator;38478092]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?[/QUOTE] It is really great. I really don't like the show at all, yet I think the game is absolutely fantastic.
I seriously hope Dishonored wins this.
[QUOTE=Sie-Sveinhund;38477227]Dishonored was good but way too easy. ME3 would probably win the [I]most controversial[/I]
game of the year award but that's only for it's shitty ending. TWD is amazing but definitely not GOTY material.
I've never even played BL2 but I know it deserves in there.[/QUOTE]
Not really, Borderlands 2 is more of the same. The same is awesome, but it hasn't evolved at all.
Pretty disappointed Fly'n and FTL aren't in the independant category, while fez and that furry game are.
Borderlands 2 was really great the first time through, but I find lots of poor game design decisions hinder the long-term fun.
Personally for me it's either Borderlands 2 or Natural Selection 2. Haven't played AssCreed 3 yet though.
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;38479021]Max Payne 3 was really underrated. I don't think anybody realizes how much work Rockstar put into it.[/QUOTE]
Holy crap, I forgot Max Payne 3 came out early this year. That's definitely GOTY material.

I don't understand why games need to meet an arbitrary requirement of "change" for them to be counted for certain accolades. If it plays well then why can't it just be a good game?
What about XCOM?
Holy fuck guys.

Its more the fact that I enjoyed what I was playing, but after a certain point I've gotten bored because I've done all this before. I do like the more coherent story-line, that definitely gives it a plus.
Oh god.
Lego batman 2 was nominated for best adapted video game.
A linkin park song in Warfighter was nominated for best song.
Diablo 3 for best PC game as well as best RPG
I am predicting the awards will be a catastrophy on an international level

I still don't get why you'd have Linkin Park do the song that's meant to encompass your gritty, realistic take on war and the fightings and shit that apparently happens therein.

[url]http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2012-nominees/voting/best-graphics[/url] Why is Halo 4 there?
Max Payne 3 and Borderlands 2 need to be on that list.
