Everyone ready for the Fallout 4 awards?

Before Keighley announced the Game of the Year award, I heard a bunch of people in the audience yelling out "Fallout". So it's obvious Beth paid for some people to be there. :P
 
I don't care about awards, I find most of them to be meaningless especially when it is all about "yearly" awards. I think that the good stuff need time to really settle. Awards should only be handed out for things that are 5 or 10 years old. Why? Cause then it is about if it stands the test of time and whether it is still good after all the hype has died down. Yearly awards means that people will be swayed by bias and hype. Besides, we're talking about games here. A game can taken 100 hours to complete or it could take 5 hours to complete. My point is that there is only so much time that people have to play games and so they're not going to be able to play the hundreds of games that are released yearly. There may be a gem that gets overshadowed by the bloated hype-giants. The difference there is that the gem will be fondly remembered, the bloated hype-giants will be a passing memory. Yearly awards are just dumb. It's a way for the people who host them to earn some quick cash or recognition or whatever. It's meaningless for the most part. Even if they managed to give the right award to the right game I still find it meaningless because they'd give games that don't deserve certain awards said awards. So I don't give a damn about awards.

But.

What I do care about is when Bethfans decide to use awards as an argument in their favour as to why Beth games are actually amazing. If Fallout 4 wins no award at all then that means that these zealous fluffers won't be able to use it as an argument and I can't help but grin at that.

They wouldn't have to pay them. Fanboys do it all for free.

In an earlier post someone said he heard someone yell "Don't say Fallout!", so maybe it was balanced :D
Either way, that was harsh for Bethesda. Given that basically every gaming magazine hands out "awards" it's inevitable that they get named GOTY somewhere, so are they still going to call it GOTY-edition in the end? Or will it be the "Ultimater-Edition", so they can at least top Obsidian?

You should see the Beth forums. While a lot of people there still think TW3 deserved it, there are still some salty bethdrones coming out of the woodwork, trying to put it down in order to alleviate the butthurt. Some of their excuses and attempts are pretty comedic.

Ah well, congrats to CD Projekt. Well deserved. Hopefully, future games will now be copying "The Witcher" rather than "Skyrim". And definitely not "Fallout 4". :grin:
 
Fallout 4 is fun, it addresses some issues but seriously has a bad quality of story-writing and quest design not mentioning the crappy dialogue options. I'm happy that Witcher 3 won all the awards because they take their game seriously, they focused on what made Witcher so popular and didn't try to turn their game into a cross-genre bastard at the expense of half-assed core experience. (READ: MASS EFFECT 3)

And while there might be a lot of mods for Fallout 4 that turns the game even better, perhaps great. but that's on the community and not the company that made the game. so yep, Fallout 4 can be really fun but it in no way deserves an award because it doesn't do anything fantastic, and it doesn't create any new standards.
