Like the fact you can finish it in 2 minutes?
Fuck Gone Home, The Stanley Parable deserved the awards much more than that load of pretentious crap.
Or Papers, Please, for being far more unique than a glorified walking simulation about lesbians you can complete in two minutes.

Best PC game that you can only finish it in 2 minutes?
Man, it's slightly quicker than Half-Life: Before

My point is that the problem brought up isn't a problem, it's just a possible result of your curiosity and attention for detail.

I have no doubt about that, and as much as I liked Stanley Parable as well, Papers Please was a lot more interesting than two walking simulators and one plataformer.
Gone Home is such a pretentious game, how did it even win an award with the bloated plot?

Best PC Game: Gone Home, NO, its Dota 2 ya dweebs.
And I love how the xbox game happens to be a multi platform game, then its not an xbox game you fuck faces.

Absolutely, but getting mad and lying about the game that won, especially when you haven't played it yourself, won't really help.
I wanted TLOU to get GOTY, but I still recognize GTA as an impressive game even though I didn't personally like it. Gone Home had a nice and human storyline with a unique narrative design and a very detailed setting. That it got an award in place of another game won't change that.
And I mean come the fuck on guys, remember that this is VGX we are talking about.

VGX is trying to take itself seriously.
If they want US to take THEM seriously, then Gone Home would not have won not just once, but fucking twice!
Indie I could have let go, but PC game of the year? In comparison to both Papers Please and Stanley Parable?
It doesn't help that the rest of VGX was like being at your Uncle's house during Christmas, uncomfortable as hell, only one good thing will happen during the entire night, and everyone involved just wants to get it all over with and go home.
And besides, this is VIDEO GAMES were talking about here. We can make games that let us soar across the skies of Europe, or explore an underwater Ayn Rand City, or a steampunk whaling community modeled after Victorian London.
Even games based in the modern world with modern situations can have some more spunk or charm or gameplay to it. Even the walkathon of Amnesia was good because it had a solid story and good atmosphere. Gone Home can be beaten in 2 minutes, has a boring unimpressive story (Oh she's a teenager, and a rebel, and a lesbian, and her parents aren't ok with that, I must run away with my lover, ain't that a new story.)
Nothing even happens in the house itself to make things interesting, no phone calls, no finale. You just look around an empty house, read a story, and game over.

Weren't these things voted on by people? I'm surprised Gone Home won anything considering how many people hate it...unless nobody who actually could've influenced the vote never actually like, voted.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;43110119]Knife of Dunwall was a pretty kickass dlc.
And if it were on there, I bet all the Fallout New Vegas DLC's, or at least one of them would get an award.[/QUOTE]
Brigmore Witches was better.
[editline]8th December 2013[/editline]
Also, Blood Dragon shouldn't be on the list for best DLC, because it's not actually DLC.

That's what I said. It's VGX, no one took them seriously before they disagreed with them, why now?
And again, as I said, there's more than one story in Gone Home. That's the point of it, that those with enough curiosity can find much more. Perhaps you lacked that curiosity, and as such missed any other story than the one served to you on a silver platter, I dunno.
I understand that it wasn't the game for you and others though, and I would personally be just as happy if Papers, Please or The Stanley Parable got the award.
I'm seriously disappointed Far Cry 3 isn't anywhere. I know it was released in 2012, but it was right after the VGAs. So what, one of the best games of 2012 (top 3 easily) isn't even shown at the VGXs? Come on. You can't just ignore every game that will release in December.
Far cry 3: Blood Dragon isn't even DLC. It's a standalone game.
I seriously wish the Last of US won the game of the year award but GTA V is equally good in terms of gameplay and storyline.
[QUOTE=Niklas;43111233]no, professional critics™[/QUOTE]
Funnily enough most of them were from kotaku and polygon. I knew as soon as the catagories were released that gone home would win.
it just isn't possible to take gaming journalism seriously is it
If you think that the VGX awards are [B]anything besides[/B] publisher wank or "unexpected underdog winners" to spark articles giving the awards coverage all over the internet (that is, articles complaining about the winnders), then you're wrong
[editline]8th December 2013[/editline]
There is a section of the gaming press that attempts to be serious and the Spike VGXs are not in that section
[QUOTE=Fhux;43110851]Have you guys played Gone Home? It's very charming and nostalgic, and there's much more to the story than "your sister is gay".[/QUOTE]
I played it and beat it (the non-2 minute route), and it does not deserve to be nominated for any award besides maybe "best atmosphere."
There really isn't much else to the story other than finding out [sp]your sister ran away to live with a girl she likes[/sp] It literally has the worst buildup because of how incredibly predictable it is, as soon as you start reading the messages about how [sp]your sister starts hanging out and possibly liking this girl[/sp] you can tell what's going to happen by the end anyway.
It's not charming, it's predictable and mediocre storytelling. The execution of the mediocre story was fine, but it's still a mediocre story in a game where all you do is walk around a house looking for clues and codes in order to gain access to more areas. It is not the best indie game let-alone best PC game.
You see, this is why I always say that the VGX don't mean a thing, they're so unofficial in my eyes. Geoff is some passive aggressive shell of a journalist and that other guy was forced to go by his manager and only made the whole thing awkward. The only good part is when Mega64 came on.
People actually expect The Division's engine to run on consoles just like it did on the preview.
Dying Light is utterly uninspiring
Pewdiepie is still a faggot
I mad? Yes, I mad.
Nobody should take the VGA's seriously we all know the Bafta's are the real awards.
Papers Please should have won best indie game.
Really the entire Best PC category was dumb. Three of the four games were already on the indie list. It is funny then that the same game won both categories.

Most of the PC exclusives are indie games. What was the last big AAA exclusive for PC anyway?
[QUOTE=Yummy Pie;43113417]Most of the PC exclusives are indie game. What was the last big AAA exclusive for PC anyway?[/QUOTE]
I think they set a precedent by allowing cross-platform games on the list multiple times with other games. It didn't need to be platform specific. I would have definitely voted Last Light or Bioshock Infinite over any of the four contenders they chose.
[QUOTE=Yummy Pie;43113417]Most of the PC exclusives are indie games. What was the last big AAA exclusive for PC anyway?[/QUOTE]
None of these categories take exclusives into mind. Battlefield 4 was on the best PC game list.
