VGA Awards 2012 -
Here are my thoughts on the video game awards.
Basically I didn't care about any of the bands or the celebrities, or anything like that. I just cared about the games, so my views on the games are what you will get.
First and foremost.
GAME OF THE YEAR:
The winner was The Walking Dead.
Nominees: Assassins Creed 3, Dishonored, Journey, and Mass Effect 3.
Honestly I did not really care which game of the year won, because I thought they were all great games. Personally, I had my bets on Dishonored, and Mass Effect, but I was surprised with The Walking Dead, which I suppose is a good thing.
BEST XBOX 360 GAME:
Winner was Halo 4.
Nominees: Assassins Creed 3, Borderlands 2, and Dishonored.
I expected Halo 4, and was actually glad that it won. Assassins Creed 3 I feel, didn't apply to the LARGEST AUDIENCE of gamers, same with dishonored. Halo 4, in my opinion, deserved best 360 game.
BEST PS3 GAME:
Winner: Journey
Nominees: Assassins Creed 3, Borderlands 2, and Dishonored.
The Reason Why I feel Journey won best PS3 Game is because it is a PS3 Exclusive and reached so many people. Also, it is by the same company that created FLOW and FLOWER which are extremely popular indie games for the playstation 3.
BEST WII/WII-U GAME:
Winner: Super Mario Bros U
Nominees: The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Zombie U.
Now lets face it. EVERYONE knew that Super Mario Bros U was going to win. Mario is a gaming trademark. I would have liked, and I voted for The Last Story to win, but none of these titles could have held up to Super Mario Bros U.
The Last Story is a beautiful game period. But It did not reach nearly enough people since it came out just at the Wii's end. Xenoblade Chronicles didn't have much hype, unless you are a Xenosaga fan, which honestly, I'm not. I liked the games a bit, and tried them out, but the cutscenes are just too DAMN LONG.
As for Zombie U, I feel like not everyone has gotten the chance to play it because not everyone can afford a Wii-U, and despite all the hype over Zombie-U I have heard and seen that it is nothing very special and it seems it was not worth all the hype it brought, but it was obvious it would as a Wii-U launch title.
BEST PC GAME:
Winner: XCOM
Nominees: Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and Torchlight 2
Xcom came as a suprise to me, even though i've heard nothing but great things about it. Plain and simple I had my money on Diablo 3 due to all the publicity and the fact that I'm a blizzard fan, but also Guild Wars 2, simply because I played the first and of all the hype it got.
BEST SHOOTER:
Winner: Borderlands 2
Nominees: Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Halo 4, and Max Payne 3
Let me say I was EXTREMELY excited that COD didn't win. That was basically awesome for me. No offense to anyone who likes it, obviously its a good game because it's so popular, but it's just not my kind of game. Borderlands deserved the spot because of it's multiplayer, I was rooting for that and Halo 4. I've been pretty iffy on Max Payne 3, and I've seen some iffy reviews for it as well.
BEST ACTION ADVENTURE GAME:
Winner: Dishonored
Nominees: Assassins Creed 3, Darksiders 2, and Sleeping Dogs.
I was again, not suprised that Dishonored won because of how popular it's been. Although I was dissapointed because I've heard nothing but good about Sleeping Dogs, but I feel it did not reach as large of an audience that it could have. Nonetheless I will be picking up Sleeping Dogs in the future.
LETS MAKE THIS FASTER.
Best RPG: Mass Effect 3
I KNEW IT WOULD WIN MASS EFFECT IS AWESOME compared to the other nominees.
ok i'm done.
Besides Persona 4 Arena getting BEST Fighting game I was STOKED.
I was pissed about: Game of the DECADE.
It should have been my pick: Shadow of the Colossus. Because the last decade was practically defined by RPGS. I also thought Windwaker should have won, but half life 2 took the prize.
Wii Sports being nominated was a joke... no offense to that. lol
Anyways, those were my highlights of the VGAs. See ya guys, Khmasterx out.
