Best Newcomer: The Last of Us
This game brought me on an emotional thrillride. There were happy moments, there were really ♥♥♥♥ depressing moments, there were moments where you wanted to ♥♥♥♥ die because of how sad they were. The characters were amazing. Joel and Ellie had such a great connection and they both were so realistic. The ending was a very abnormal ending compared to the endings of other games. It wasn't a good ending. It wasn't a bad ending. It simply was an ending. I like that. It lets you choose what you want the ending to be, bad or good. The graphics were also amazing. The one bad thing about this game was that the gameplay wasn't amazing, (it wasn't bad either) but I feel the story makes up for it.
Best Online Game: Simcity
This is the only game I've played and also liked in the whole list. It's by EA, which is leterally hitler, but I don't care. I liked the game and I suggest it to anyone. League of Legends is a close second but I did not find it fun. DayZ is both fun and I liked it but it has such a bad community and so many hackers that it loses a ton of points, on it's on, it's the best.H
Best Indie Game: Mark of the Ninja
Because I haven't played any of the other games and I thoroughly enjoy playing a 2d Batman: Arkham game.
Best Handheld Game: Animal Crossing: 3DS
It's so addicting. It's such an improvement frm the previous games, which were also amazing, that it shouldn't even be called animal crossing anymore. Luigi's mansion is a very close second[/i]
Best Storytelling: The Last Of Us
It's the one apocalyptic zombie game that makes sense and does well making sense. Bioshock Infinite, like luigi's mansion, is extremely close to second.
Best Multiplayer: Payday 2
Watch the mindcrackers play it.
Best Mobile Game: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
It's not actually in the category but I vote it because it's the only mobile game I play actively, I actually voted super hexagon but I don't have a reason for choosing it.
Best Visual Design: Bioshock Infinite
The last of us is in this category and I DIDN'T vote for it. Surprising, right? Bioshock Infinite has amazing graphics. Right at the beginning of the game you already have many amazing views. These views make the game look incredibly beautiful. Also it's steampunk.
Best Platform: Steam
Sorry, but not sorry Azn. Valve very easily deserves to win. Valve is amazing, they treat their buyers amazingly, they have so many sales, so many great games, so many ways to earn money free (trading cards), I don't see why you DON'T think valve deserves this. (I know Steam isn't Valve but still it's ran by Valve)
Best Moment: The Last Of Us (Joel's Loss)
So early in the game, and you are already crying over the loss of someone? How the hell could you form a connection with a character so fast? I don't know. It's amazing. It shows how great of a father Joel was and it pretty much sets the mood for the rest of the game. It makes you feel like you are very close friends with joel or something, or your his conscience. I love this scene so much. The Walking Dead was a close second but it didn't hit me as hard as The Last of Us' scene did.
Innovation of the Year: Oculus Rift
This category sucks except for the Rift. The Ouya, in my opinion, is nothing but a ♥♥♥♥ console. The only good part about it is that devs like Suyo can put their own games on it. It isn't revolutionary, like something like the Oculus Rift is. The Oculus Rift is expanding our gaming experiences. The other categories for why they are not revolutionary or the best innovation are pretty obvious.
Studio Of The Year: Naughty Dog
Youtube Gamer: Smooth McGroove
I don't really care. I don't like any of these youtubers and I've only heard of the yogscast and smooth mcgroove. Smooth is cooler than the yogscast.
Most Wanted: Super Smash Bros
It's Super Smash Bros. Duh. I actually really really really want Batman: Arkham Origins but Super Smash Bros is definitely more wanted.
Game of the Year: Grand Theft Auto V
Rockstar spent so much money on this game, so much time, and it all came to this. The game only recently came out and it's made about...2 billion dollars or more. That's a world record. The game is amazing. It's not just Grand Theft Auto anymore. It's Grand Theft Tennis, Grand Theft Biking, Grand Theft.....a lot of things. While The Last Of Us is my favourite game ever, GTA is very obviously going to win GOTY for the amount of work put into it. It was worth it.
Remember, these are my opinions and I don't care if you disagree.
especially about the Ouya, which I am pretty sure Suyo will ♥♥♥♥♥ about.
