Did you even watch the show? it was actually good. No really, seriously, it was.

 

The host said there would be new Nintendo content.

There was not.

I watched it for nothing...

 

This is the single biggest WTF of the whole event. Just look at the games its up against and wins??? Someone bribed or sucked alot of lollypops to get that to win. That "game" has very little narrative and its like an hour long. Comparing that with an outstanding horror game (Until Dawn) and 3 other long, excellent story driven games?

Even if you took Witcher 3 out of that list, Her story isnt even top 3 worthy imo.

 

What I want to know is, what the hell was that music at the end?? It was a pretty lame way to end the show.

 

So which is the best shooter ?

 

it was never announced, not even on the site

 

So word is now getting around that apparently even though MGSV won awards, Hideo Kojima couldn't make it because Konami banned him from attending the event.

And in other news, Konami continues to dig its own grave.

 

not bothered really , but who won best shooter your lists didnt indicate

 

How did MGS:V win best action game O.o

It is half done. Half of it is great but the other half is boring padding.

Out of the list Ori or Rise of the Tomb Raider should have won. But the first one isn't mainstream and the second took the ingloriously bad idea to release console exclusive on the same day Fallout 4 came out.

 

So which is the best shooter of the year?
