Didn't Nintendo win like 4 awards?

3, unless you count Shovel Knight (IGOTY) as Nintendo.

They won Developer of the year, Sports/Racing game (MK8) and Fighting game (SSB4).



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

So if they give categories awards to Nintendo games it's ok, but if one doesn't get GOTY so it's biased? Right...

DA is a way bigger game, a lot more people have everythi it, and wa ans a  underserving of the GOTY this year.
You have your opinions, that's cool, just don't go getting wild if they don't are the same as what other people have.

Metacritic score proves nothing, if it was the case, Dark Souls 2 should have taken it, as it got 91 in all 3 platforms it was available.
That bias against PS360 though...

Nope.

So by your logic Transformers 4 should of won best pitcure instead of 12 Years a Slave because more people saw it? Game of the Year should be the following, 1st gameplay, than everything else and shouldn't matter what console its on or how many. When was the last time Nintendo received a Game of the Year Award.

Dude, they're not going to award the title of GOTY to a game no one played. And as good as MK8 and Smash are, they're nowhere near GOTY material.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

losing to DaI isnt bad, its a good game, and the gaming media wankers didnt played it enough to find the "sexist"stuff.

DaI is good game, its totaly fine if it wins the goty. the game runs fine, and its not just a quick cashgrab.

This has been probably been beaten to death but the Game of the Year voting this year just shows the true HATE the gaming "media" has for Nintendo. Take out Mario Kart and Smash winning their respected catagories, out of little competition it had in those catagories, Nintendo was slapped in the face. Giving Developer of the Year of the year to Nintendo was also a way of saying "hey you guys make great product just stop making consoles".

Bayonetta 2 should of won game of the year period. Dragon Age Metacritic 89, Bayonetta 2 Metacritic 91.  How does B2 not get game of the year? Well I will tell you. It was a third party exclusive on Nintendo plain and simple. If this game was released on XB1 or PS4 hands down game of the year.

Most gaming journalists, for whatever their hard-on is with Nintendo, wants them to fail and just make games. The game awards was just another way of doing that. I never understood the gaming community its the only community where they want an ICONIC company to fail. I see it all the time here in forums and out in "professional articles". Here is the thing though, video games were made for and supposed to be for kids,not adults who have social issues.

I will finish with this note. I'm Glad NINTENDO doesn't bow to gamers who are in their 20's, im glad they make games my children can enjoy without blowing someone's head off, and I'm glad I get to see my kids grow up on Mario just like I did.

That's a little over the top man. Just be happy for them.

Bayonetta 2? cmon dude.



We will see Bayonetta 2 be considered the best action game ever, and Inquisition, another good rpg but worse than Origins, Skyrim, Elder scroll 6, witcher 3, Xenoblade, etc etc etc People always thinks that the bigger, and the more powerfull the game is, the most deserves the goty... time is going to put classics where they belong.

It's totally deserved ...

Bayonetta is hardly what anyone would call a perfect game when the characters and the plot is weak. What's more is that the action mechanics are designed in an obscene way too so there's that ...

Bayonetta 2 it's one of those games where the plot doesn't matter, you could skip the cutscenes and still notice any difference. About mechanics, can't say anything but like it is, I think it's perfect. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
