| Euphoria14 said: When Metacritic has their own awards I am sure they will factor in the iOS Hearthstone and its 93 score. Having less reviews means little. It had less because A.) it was on mobile and B.) It was already reviewed previously when on PC, so many wouldn't review it again. Hearthstone is considered best when played on iOS.
This is a show that's seems to have been made in collaboration with the big companies, so im sure they had input on how the nominations went. What did people want, Smash, Bayonetta, Mario Kart, PersonaQ taking up 70%+ of the nominees for GoTY? It can't work like that. That would be like the Emmys making the Actor of the Year nominees entirely with Breaking Bad actors. It just doesn't work like that. Sometimes you might have 2 in there, but other shows are also great and need representation. Also if you look outside of forums I am sure many of these nominees are valid amongst people who play games. The list is fair. |
A) You ignored all of my points why the metascore with fewer reviews means less. Yes, I know there are reasons why it happens, but that is irrelevant
B) If the companies have input in the nominations, isn't that a good enough reason to discount The Game Awards? The companies shouldn't be the ones who decide what gets to be GOTY...
C) Your comment about Actors of the Year being entirely from Breaking Bad doesn't make any sense. It would be more like, Actor of the Year being entirely from AMC Shows, which, if true, why not? If two of the best games this year were published by Nintendo, why should we ignore one of them? Especially if they are as different as Bayo and Smash.
D) I think leaving Smash out solely because it is a fighting game, or solely because it is a Nintendo game, is ridiculous. It seems quite strange that the highest rated new game of the year would be left off of any GOTY nominations list...
| Euphoria14 said: This has gone so off topic. O_o Anyways, yes, Persona Q COULD be a GoTY contender if you go by its current metascore, but I'm sure it won't be. |
Because of some arbitrary assignment of lesser worth placed on handheld games (and fighting games), which is BS...
Also, both me and tbone have explained the "we are the industry" statement...not sure why you can't wrap your head around that explanation
