Lonk Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2011 It's that time of year again. It's also the time in where all of the nominees are entered in. However, everybody cares about the nominees for Game of the Year. If you don't want to look at link or at poll, the nominees for GOTY are, in order: 1. Batman Arkham City 2. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 3. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 4. Portal 2 5. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Discuss the VGAs for this year and your predictions of who will win and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twig Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I didn't care much for the vga's. Spike or whoever controls the show makes it so it's much more likable to their regular viewers, who are "big tough hardcore men." So many people feel it's biased. Besides, pretty much every gaming site/channel/blog/etc has their own video game awards. Award shows are pretty boring anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'd agree with you, but since Spike is the only channel that televises VGAs, it makes it a bit more meaningful. Besides, I'm curious to see where the bias goes towards. Also, it's fun to see people fighting each other in the comments. Naturally, I think Skyward Sword should be Game of the Year just because it makes me look at Zelda games a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 It doesn't matter who SHOULD get it, because whichever one has the most fanboys will win anyway. The VGA's are crap and there's no reason that anyone should be paying ANY attention to them. It's the same reason people care more about the Oscars than the MTV movie awards. Arkham City is most likely to win since Skyward Sword and Skyrim came too late. Still, personally, even though I'm not done. It's Skyward Sword.

Lonk Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Actually, it's only the voting council (a group of Video Game reviewers) who does the voting. Fans can merely attempt to persuade them with their votes. Ultimately, though, it's the group of Game Reviewers that ends up voting, so even if one game has more fanboys, it's any game's......game.

Darkstorm9 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I honestly want Arkham city to win,all of the games up there i like equally,but all of them except for batman) have had their success with GOTY's before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 IMO Arhkam and Portal are the long shots. Regardless it's the VGA who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Crouton Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I wonder if Angry Joe will rage in a 24 minute video like last year when the VGA producer and real journalists treated him like a joke (that he is.) Also, award shows are lame. "Yay. My favorite game got an award. Not other is it 20% better, but when someone challenges my opinion that it's the best game of the year, I can argue that it got a VGA award."
