Yeah, good news for Xenoblade :)

Seems like some people are offended by XCX winning... "Oh no, a game I won't ever play won an award".

'cause it's a RPG *Removed due to contradictory evidence* at PGW, so I guess it's a nominee

And while at PGW you continued to post on these forums, each day of PGW, from your belgian home ISP.
So you're going to have to excuse my skepticism here.

Having worked in Brussels for the European Union you can get to Paris in like  an hour and 20 minutes.

As I said, he's welcome to provide proof if it matters to him enough.

Why would people be offended? It's just that Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Halo, the PSVR and the HTC Vive each won an award. Lego, Guitar Hero, Anarcute and Shiness won the same awards too. Nobody made threads about it. The point is "Don't get too excited and don't read too much into it (AKA don't start with the Fallout and Dark Souls comparisons), becaude these awards are almost worthless (and I explained why)". That's all ^^. 

 

You're trying to read way too much in other people comments again ;)  (and please, don't talk about my "comments history"...)

Nobody is stopping you or anyone else to make threads about those games. Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Halo 5 all look like they will be great games (Halo 5 already is one of course!). The people bringing up Fallout in this thread are the people who say "No way can it beat Fallout" despite not having played both games. Bethesda is known for glitchy, buggy and poorly running games anyway. I find their games to be bad.

But if he is within driving distance, isn't all this fuss rather silly?  It's easiest to post to forums on a PC, so if he posted during the show from his home PC  - since he's within driving distance afterall - then he would obviously show as being in Belgium.  But I digress, it's your prerogative.

Anyway, Back to the topic, Congrats to XCX on winning, but I'd have liked to have seen the official nominee list, especially since other awards have been given at the event for questionable motives (as covered breifly in earlier posts).

It's a shame that awards for games (and movies/actors) these days are so political, shows like VGA are borderline unwatchable because of it.

Actually, The Game Awards last year were pretty good.  Nice show, winners and nominees were sensible.  Of course, that probably has to do with the show being much more independent than the VGAs were.

I know that Dark Souls 3 was a nominee, don't know for the others.


How do you know that?

How do you know XCX was the only nominee?

So, we don't really know. Interesting that no other publisher has touted their game as having won an award at PGS.

Interesting that you assume that Nintendo was touting the win rather a fan site. 

Anything to be negative.


I never said XCX was the only nominee.

You're right about the Nintendo fan site. Anything to bring some positivity.
