The only thing ME3 earned my vote on was Jennifer Hale's voice acting.

ME3 doesn't deserve any of those rewards to be honest. I love the game, but I was blown away by games like Borderlands 2 and The Walking Dead. And there were of course a few controversies that keeps ME3 off my top 10 list of 2012 (ending, multiplayer requirement).

So much fail on this topic. ME3 NOT GOTY . . . are you kidding me.

Sure, the ending was not up to par for a lot of people, but the other 98 % of the game buried any other RPG out there. No one can say this game didn't set the bar for other RPG's.

I'm strongly in the ME3 for GOTY and RPG of the year categories.

No, ME1 and ME2 set the bar for storytelling and atmosphere in ARPGs. ME3 stumbled, fell down, broke its nose and vomited all over the spectators.

It showed you how developers can unlearn how to create engaging sidequests, how to dumb-down the exploration part of the game, how to destroy the atmosphere and make you realize you're in a linear CoD shooting range. It mostly removed the atmospheric cincematic dialogue with your companions and dumbed it down to a "sentence on screen" and even misplaced some of the best and most charismatic and charming NPCs ever and banned them into near-oblivion by giving them what you can call a cameo appearance at best. Oh, and of course, it did the ending-ef-up with a flourish.
They even removed numerous interface&ui parts that are so ridiculously obvious to have (a real quest interface like ME2's) for no reason at all. It's a marvel how they even came up with some of the stuff they threw into the game. I'm so against ME3 getting any award (aside from Jennifer Hale, but she was freskin' Bastila! How can anyone not love her?!) that I'm not just voting for games, I'm voting against ME3 on games I never even saw in a trailer. I do *not* want to see ME3 getting any reward that some smug self-righteous EAper can stick to their jacket.

I used to love and adore ME, and it's not just the ending that ruined it for me. It's the ENDING part of the Triology that ruined it for me. And not because it couldn't match "high expectations" but because it didn't even bother to try. It was chucked as fast as possible to rake in a lot of $$ from fanboys who didn't bother that they were sold substandard quality in a nice dress. But you're not born a fanboy, and you don't necessarily stay one if you realize someone's only out to milk you. And let's not talk about ME4, which EA & BW have even less any idea of. They don't know what the ef to do in part 4 anymore than they had any idea what to do in part 3. They're just going to throw something out that plays in the ME universe in about a year and a half and hope it becomes the new mainstream-McD-fast food game line that allows you to publish the same thing every 1-2 years and rake in a lot of money for the same game in a different dress.

Jennifer hale and no mark meet but I have to concede whichever player u r behind the shephard, gender wise it is hale that brings spice, sex appeal, charisma and a entire personality life of it own to deepen the shephard character experience. And surpass the more cut and dry mark meet. It a huge vote in confidence iin recognizing the growing role that female characters and voices have as part. Of the industry. All thing considered despite the ending without doubt me3 is a flagship title the award is to acknowledge the entire scope of trilogy groundbreaking achievements. Richly deserved as a trilogy.

[MegaSovereign]

I'm honestly surprised the Leviathan DLC got nominated as best DLC. It was good but it wasn't LoTSB-quality.

Not a single RPG on that RPG-list... (although I haven't played Xenoblade)

Resorting to petty childish insults won't help whatever kind of point you're trying to make Meatsack.

Childish insults??????

I'm just giving ya hard time.

I'll be serious for a moment because i do want to say this. A bad ending can actually take away from the RPG experience. I've already gone on and said i don't feel ME3 was a proper RPG. It was way too much of a TPS. But in all fairness let's forget all that, and i'll pretend ME3 is 100% RPG.

If you get me attached to the story and characters SO much, that i spend 5 years devoting my love and passion to your franchise, buying all kinds of merchandise and replaying your games dozens of times, and then you drop an ending like that on me, we've got a problem here. It takes me out of the experience, and ends up making me very angry. And as a result, it sours the whole game for me. It doesn't matter how good the journey was, a bad destination can ruin the whole trip.

Now all that aside, i personally feel that all those RPG nominees are more deserving than ME3, for the sole reason that each one of those games is more of an RPG than ME3. Especially Xenoblade Chronicles and Torchlight 2. But that's a whole nother discussion.

And the EC did not improve your opinion of the ending?

My two biggest problems with the endings were:

A. The Catalyst and reveal of Reaper origins.

B. Shepard dies in all endings. And I accept no ambiguous 2deep4u breath scene. I want something concrete.

Since the EC didn't really help with those issues, no it didn't improve my opinion. It did fix a lot of problems and the minor issues i had with it, so i'll give them credit for that. But the fundamental problem i had with it remained, and so the EC to me was nothing more than putting a Band Aid over a knife wound.

Where's the 'disappointment of the year' award nomination? ME3 certainly doesn't deserve game of the year, nor rpg of the year, since it was more of a tps than an rpg anyway...

Agreed

[xSTONEYx187x]

Assassin's Creed III without a doubt for me, the only let was the AI in certain places and the funny glitches i.e people standing on top of each other, horses heads disappearing, etc.

[RiouHotaru]

I voted for ME3 in the categories it appears in and then Journey in the other categories.

Seriously, Journey deserves to win.

ME3 deserves none of those.

The only one I might consider is the female VA, because I have not heard any the other voice actors. And no Mark Meer on the male VA list?

Besides, the spike VGA is a joke anyway.

That's for sure.  I watched Neil Patrick Harris hosting (2010?) and it was pathetic.  I felt bad for everyone involved in the game industry.  They deserved way better.

ME3 for GOTY?  I'd personally give it to them.  As dissatisfying as the end was, it was still a near perfect game.  Of course, even though I personally would award ME3 the crown, I don't think they can legitimately receive it after such a fan outcry.

This got stickied? Well, I guess humility is out the window.

There is no such thing as bad publicity...

There are enough topics about it that it'd be very hard to not notice should you be looking in the ME forums...

Plus, it's not like anyone surfing the bsn haven't heard of ME before.

ME3 cannot win. The very fact it needed an EC should disqualify it.

[staindgrey]

The VGAs are... I'll be kind and say that they're simply not legitimate.

There are a ton of games to be considered that didn't make those lists. Off the top of my head, KoA:Reckoning, Resident Evil Revelations, Alan Wake's American Nightmare...

And then, some games get nominated in way too many categories. Why is Dishonored in "Best Game", "Best PS3 Game" and "Best Xbox 360 Game"? Why even split the voting up by genre if games are going to cross over one another anyway? Why is each category limited to only four choices, especially when the same AAA titles take up half of said choices?

The voting system simply isn't very good and the choices aren't spread out enough to provide any sort of sense of what really was the best versus what was most popular. Add in the fact that the VGAs are hard to watch because they're rather unprofessional and try their best to prove every negative stereotype of gamers to be true, and... you get where I'm going with this.

I'll be watching it for the trailers.

NPH was terrible. Zach Levi last year did a pretty good job though, you can tell that he's into games. But he was probably the only good thing in this show, the VGAs cater to much to pre-teen COD folk.

[Gamer790]

Even if the spike VGAs were vaguely reconcilable with legitimate I wouldn't nominate Mass Effect 3 for any awards. It's good enough with a few moments of genuine greatness, but that is all I can say.

Also voted for Jennifer Hale, but thats about it. Funny thing to notice - Mass Effect 3 is nominated in RPG genre, but Witcher 2 for X360 is nowhere to be seen. Nowhere. Not even a single nomination. Thats just not right.
