[QUOTE=MissingNoGuy;51609032]What a fucking joke. Valve should feel ashamed of themselves.[/QUOTE]
The community voted. And when the community votes, it's always going to be shit.
[QUOTE=Antimuffin;51609040]The community voted. And when the community votes, it's always going to be shit.[/QUOTE]Holy shit I feel dumb. I thought Valve picked the candidates. I'm sorry :v:
Almost nothing I voted for won. That would be impressive if it wasn't so fucking sad.
I'm amused that 4/5 of the games listed under "Better With Friends" along with the winner, are games that were built from the ground up to be multiplayer games.
I guess it's accurate in that a multiplayer game that can't be played by yourself is a lot more fun when you have people to play with. It's not fun at all alone because it can't be played.
I also said to my friends on the first day of the vote that "Best Use Of A Farm Animal" only exists to get Goat Simulator an award which was also amusing.

[QUOTE=flashn00b;51606401]If we're to talk about personal nominations...
•[B] Villain Most in Need of a Hug[/B]: Tales of Symphonia (Yes, the port sucks, but those who played the original GameCube game will know exactly why. Those who haven't... I'd have to spoil the game)
•[B] I thought this game was cool before it won an award[/B]: Age of Wonders 3 (Bringing a Win9x game back from the dead won't win any popularity contests (XCOM is an isolated scenario), and a game like AoW3 proves that a really good 4X/RPG hybrid with battles having their own dedicated combat UI proves that sometimes, you just can't sell a game purely on merit.)
• [B]Test of Time[/B]: Probably a tough choice. Probably a tie between Age of Empires 2 and the original Half-Life 2. AoE2 for being a 1999 game still in active development and with a large player base. Meanwhile, if you look at Half-Life 2 from a technological standpoint, the visual feats will likely need their own bullet points
• [B]Just Five More Minutes[/B]: XCOM: Enemy Within. Getting into the game isn't all that easy, though when you learn the game's quirks, you will eventually find yourself in a position where you tell yourself "just one more mission" until the sun starts shining.
• [B]WOAH DUDE[/B]: I don't even get what the point of this award is. I thought it was just something that is extremely good at kicking names and taking ass, so I figured Doom would've been a good nominee.
• [B]Game within a game[/B]: Garry's Mod, due to the crazy things you can do with Lua coding.
• [B]I'm not crying, there's something in my eye[/B]: Agreeing with TWD, though i'm surprised it beat Undertale, being a game developed by a company who's target audience consists of 90s kids who grew up with LucasArts adventures like Sam & Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle, etc.[/QUOTE]
• [B]Villain Most in Need of a Hug[/B]: Undertale - Self explanatory.
• [B]Test of Time[/B]: DOOM II - Still play this game regularly today. Picked DOOM II over The Ultimate DOOM because most mods are made on DOOM II
• [B]Just Five More Minutes[/B]: Terraria - Always something else to do, just a little bit more.
• [B]WOAH DUDE[/B]: Elite Dangerous - Flying around in space and seeing the awesome sights and epic battles is always nice, and I'll never forget the first time I made a jump.
• [B]Game within a game[/B]: Saints Row IV - Loved all the minigames in all the Saints Row games.
• [B]I'm not crying, there's something in my eye[/B]: Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons - One of the only games to actually make me full-on cry.
• [B]Best Use Of A Farm Animal[/B]: Payday 2 - Sure it's because of the Goat Sim spinoff but stealing goats with drugs in them should count because it's an actually practical, if twisted, use of a farm animal.
• [B]I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award[/B]: Styx: Master of Shadows - a little-known stealth game that I think did wind up winning a few awards that is one of the most solid stealth games in a while.

[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51607972]really dont understand why everybody is throwing a shitfit
all of them make sense except for csgo, gta5 and goat sim[/QUOTE]
I don't really play CSGO, but I think it makes sense.
"Just one more round, and then I will leave" is a thought that probably went through many, many players' heads.
