Personally, I voted for BioShock Infinite, since they directed me to that page in some update. But obviously GTA V is going to win. It's the most known game, despite having even less information than BioShock Infinite. I mean, how can you compare an open world game to a story based one? When it comes to anticipation, the more you can forget around, the more anticipated you are.

It kind of pisses me off they put GTA against non-open-world games. This is the clear winner because it's the most popular type of game: Amazing graphics, open world, forget around all the time. Other games are awesome without these, but you can't compare them. Obviously this will win.

I mean, I don't even remember hearing of the new Tomb Raider. NEVER heard of "The Last of Us." Neither another South Park game. Then BioShock Infinite, I'm sure people haven't heard of since they've kept so silent. Then they put all those titles against Grand Theft Auto 5. Seriously? An open world, high graphics, already anticipated when GTA IV came out game? It is the clear winner. I'm not saying omit it from the vote, but it's completely unfair to put that type of game against those others. We all know which will win.

the last of us had a god damn huge trailer sequence at the very tail end of one of the E3 conferences, which basically put it on the map.

bioshock: infinite has had a fanbase since it was announced, albeit, there has been relatively little coverage of it, mostly due to internal struggles in the studio, with layoffs and restructuring slowing down the game.

and the new tomb raider is the "gritty reboot", but yeah, basically no one's heard of it.

also, you do realize not everyone wants what you want, right?

I hope Dishonored wins game of the year.

[MegaScientifical]

I'm just saying that GTA V is on another level. The other games aren't open world forget around all day, are they? Because loving around gives games replayability, as you understand.

you're saying that you're making the brown townogy of a smart car to a pick up truck, but it's more of a car to a bike, or a train, or a public bus. they're all the same purpose, and they're all similar, but you cannot compare them vertically.

Their indie section is a joke.

Where is FTL?

Where is Hotline Miami?

They were probably my two favourite indie games of the year, and many of my friend's favourites aswell.

I hadn't heard of 2 of the games they had, and had heard terrible things about one of the others.

The whole thing is a farce. The only people who care for the VGAs are casuals.

Actually, trying to measure the quality of games is completely impossible because quality is dependent on tons of factors that are subjective in nature.

like some people do not care about certain ones at all, and would rate the games differently. There is no 'right way' to pick a game of the year.

Why even support this?  The VGAs represent everything wrong with gaming at the moment.
