Alot of "GAMERS" are complaining that The Walking Dead won GOTY
Alot of forums like Neogaf, and N4G are whining and complaining how the walking dead won goty, saying, quote "it's not even a game", and silly comments like a downloable shouldn't be considered on the same level as a big budget game like halo 4.
A bunch of nonsense, and a bunch of "BAH, Walking Dead shouldn't have won goty" from ALOT of people who've never even touched the game.
Quite sad really.

Last year the VGA's had "sold out" multiple times and were swimming in the money whatever major game studios threw at them to pay for their wins that year. This year they're uhm... how rich is Telltale?
You'll even see this all the way down to youtube top tens, people will get absolutely vitriolic just because they don't agree with the list the person posts.
In recent years games have gotten to big for their own good, forcing them to have a business plan that is designed to suck every penny they can get out of the people that buy their games and forgetting that people play games for entertainment, and that there are people like me who play games as their main source of entertainment and don't want to have to spend £35-40 on a game that will give them the same level of entertainment as a game that cost £15-20 especially because it means i can buy 2 games for the same price.
even Gabe Newell is saying games are to expensive, and he has proved that with steam sales that actually significantly increase the money companies make.
i would guess that it is mainly the younger gamers that think that better graphics equal a better game and it is them who are complaining that downloadable games Shouldn't get a GOTY award
Apart from a few games but they weren't even nominated
Easiest game in video game history
This reminds of when Crash won best film over Brokeback Mountain at the Academy Awards, LOL!
Game of The Year (?).
OT: So you're telling me people (speaking in general) preffer expensive games with super-duper HD graphics & poor/unexistable story rather then a relatively cheap game with decent graphics?

I didn't see that coming when I was playing Episode 1. I thought it was a pretty interesting game at that point. I certainly had no idea what I was in for.
I've been a gamer since '96 as a small kid. I've seen the videogames take a wrong direction in the mid/late 2000s when people only started caring about graphics and piece of crap like Crysis was considered a gift from heaven.
I had lost all faith in videogames. I haven't played videogames in years. The latest was Mafia II (2 years ago) and before that, I can't recall. TWD gave me hope that real videogames are still not dead.
This game's got it all. The story, the music, the characters... it's an emotional rollercoaster and in the end 9 out of 10 players break... what other game can say the same?
TWD deserved all the awards it got - and more.
Kids :rolleyes:
I've always believed that. When Ocarina of Time (Legend of Zelda) came out, I loved it. But then there was Majora's Mask, and that blew me away.
They hate on anything they think is casual, especially the Wii. This game reminds me of Silent Hill Shattered Memories that came out on the Wii a few years ago, the gameplay mechanics and story is eerily similar.
Thank you. And moyermason, Please lay off. Why did you reply again?
WOOOOOOOOOOO-
Sorry. Yay.
Heavy Rain Choices do matters thats why there are 8 different endings.
But TT isn't the developers of Heavy Rain. They aren't even close to their size.
still choices matter here
All of the other nominees are great games and I would not have been disappointed if any of them won, but they were all "been there, done that."
For game INNOVATION, Walking Dead takes it. A game that wraps you up in the emotional (and physical) welfare of characters, makes you second guess what you should have done (more than just shooting or committing an action before the bad guy has "got ya"), something that really gets you to ponder the ramifications of your choices even if the divergence of the storyline is an illusion...
Maybe I'm a bit biased. I like story in my gaming and WD is ALL story. I also like to see Goliath get beaten by David in the gaming industry. This game winning GOTY satisfied both for me.
Actually there's 9.
I got the "we're not making it for PC so enjoy this middle finger! hahaha!" ending.
Several months ago I looked at the gameplay of this game and thought it looked bad. Now I'd say this is the best game I've ever played. TWD taught me and hopefully everyone that characters and story, if done good, can completely turn a simple game in terms of interactivity to something so very very special.
The puzzles are non-existent and what stays at the end is the terribly good story. Just for coming up with a serious and adult plot this game deserves the GOTY. Gaming is full of childish stories (warrior/whatever against evil/nazis/whatever) it's understandable that it's still not taken as serious as movies or books. TWD goes beyond the stupidness and shallowness of ordinary games - that's why I think it's important it got the GOTY award.
I really hope that the next season improves on really making your decisions matter and not just letting us feel that they do. Or maybe some harder puzzles, just something which makes this more like a real game.
