| Fight-the-Streets said: Don't forget TGA is mostly an advertisement show. They have to act accordingly. Action-Adventures and Action RPGs are what they like to nominate and award. But even if it would be a serous show that really wants to nominate and reward the actual best games of the year, somewhere you have to draw the line with indies. Indies made by a single homebrewer that nobody ever heard of but scored very high, simply don't make sense to award or nominate (maybe make a new category: the best games nobody heard of). That was the most exterme example but Indies need some weight (i.e. be known, tested by several known reviewing media) to be considered, I agree with that. Also, what's logical to me is that a PC-only game will never win the GOTY. Consoles is where the music plays! |
That was all but obvious when the show kept getting longer and longer over the recent years but it wasn't the content that developed, it was the advertisement time.
Truly my number one reason why I don't watch that show, I mean if they can't care enough to present some of the important awards in fast forward just to get to ad time faster, its quite obvious they don't care about the art in good honesty.
