Remember the VGX awards where GTAV got GOTY, ND won Studio and AC4 won Best Action/Adventure?

The people who chose that consisted of a council of rather known sites. Here are these sites GOTY's:

Kotaku-TLOU
IGN-TLOU
GamesRadar-TLOU
Gametrailers-TLOU
Polygon-ZELDA:ALBW
USA Today-TLOU
Penny Arcade-TLOU
Joystiq-TLOU
PC Gamer-Spelunky
Gamespot-ZELDA:ALBW
Giant Bomb-TLOU
Entertainment Weekly-BIOSHOCK INF
Destructoid-TLOU
Game Informer-TLOU
Yahoo Games-TLOU
Wired-Papers, Please

Not a single site gave it to GTAV.
11/16 sites gave it to TLOU.

Guess VGX just picked people who preferred GTAV as only a few were sent to represent the site..

OR - IT WAS FUCKING RIGGED! (which is much more fun to assume) D:

VGX is a joke so I doubt anyone really cares all to much.

It's funny XD

@Kowen

Yeah I know I changed the title. It wasn't really rigged for one title. They just came across as wanting to satisfy everyone.

Also we know the awards are a nonsense

Though I'm not against anyone opinion, but does anyone else feel this convalued attention to these GotY awards are getting too out of hand. Its stuff like this that make me wish I could live in the ninties. Gaming have become Hollywood and its starting to get on my nerves.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise if it was. I mean they had a rock concert afterwards, and GTAV is multiplatform, so it doesn't bother fanboys. It was the political choice...

Hence we need a different game awards show if people ever want one that matters...

Eurogamer gave the GOTY to Super Mario 3d World btw so add that shitz in

But VGX was a joke and will forever be a joke... GTA V was well deserved but the show was just terriable

Come on aldro...GTA5 is as worthy of the award as any of the other contenders. I dont see what the big deal was when the award didnt go to TLOU...

Not to mention that the VGX awards was the biggest pile of horse shit ive ever seen in my life.
