We had a similar issue with our own awards while trying to figure out nominees bit that's because I find the platform awards kind of boring if they're filled with multiplayer because then they're all the same and don't seem to serve any purpose of they're own. Makes me think there should be a single award for ps360pc kind of like many sites put handhelds all together in one award, or the platform awards should only be made of exclusives so at least they'll all be different. |
They do. It's called the game of the year award. that is why these are genre or platform awards

Then what's the point of platform specific awards? It doesn't make a lot of sense, especially when you have a platform GOTY that is different from your primary GOTY. Let's say Borderlands 2 won the Xbox award and Halo 4 won the GOTY--where is the logic in that? Or how about if Dishonored is nomiated for the Playstation award but not the Xbox award, while Borderlands 2 is nomiated for the Xbox award but not the Playstation award? We've all seen stuff like this happen.

The point is that it is the best of the best games on that platform.......Not the best exclusives. people can hype up sony all stars all they want but it definitely shouldnt be on any award list for example. And this isn't VGA awards where you have people voting for the games. That always turns out to be biased and incorrect. This is editors choice awards. And GoTy will have everything from all platforms, not just one.

Most gaming websites uses votes among their editors and situations like I described happen quite often. And I'm not sure how voting among dozens of people is more biased or how an opinion is incorrect. Platform awards that include everything just seem superfluous to me. If a multiplatform games wins GOTY then it should, by logic, win ALL awards on down, which it often doesn't.
