Now I'm going to have to look up what happened last year...
As for the games, Bayonetta 2 was the only thing I knew would be there. After the reviews it got, it just kind of had to be.
I had totally forgotten that Bravely Default came out this year. I really liked the game, but I think the repetitive story could hold it back from winning anything.
Mountain? Unless there is more to that game than the little bit I've seen of it (totally possible), it seems like they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel there.

Nice to see Tomodachi Life in there. That really was a surprise seller I think for Nintendo. It did very well.

The fact that Ubisoft is a best developer nominee...
Stupid Snowmads!
Posted 20 November 2014 - 03:30 PM
not as bad as i thought it was going to be, but plenty of room for improvement. also shadow of mordor and dragon age over smash.....
also how did Ubisoft make it into the dev nominations?
And most importantly, why didn't we wait till january before even making a nominee list, There are games that haven't even released yet this year.

Oh goodness, I didn't even notice that there was Ubisoft in the developer nominations. Of course it is specifically Ubisoft Montreal. I don't know specifically what they worked on.

Basically, every game that Ubisoft has published this year Montreal has had some part in. Off of the top of my head, they've done BOTH AC games, WatchHogs, Child of Light, I think they're working on the Crew.
Edit: To follow up on Mitch's list, here's mine. LET THE DOWNVOTES COMMENCE
Two Fan songs I've never heard, a meme that has it's own subreddit, a series that united the internet BEFORE Gamergate basically destroyed it into a billion pieces, and a Minecraft Creation. This is a terrible category, and the only logical vote is Twitch Plays Pokemon due to the joy it provided...until said joy was rammed into the ground by playing EVERY POKEMON GAME. I'd like to see someone try FFIII on Twitch though, mostly because that Final boss is pure HACKS unless you use the right classes.
There we go, a summary of my votes. I'm actually surprised how much Hearthstone won, though I do admit I do have a DCCP(Digital Cardboard Crack Problem)

Games that refuse to use Gameplay effectively to do anything are like films that refuse to use cinematography in film to do anything.

Mitch I feel like your suggestions are what should happen, but I mean... VGAs...
Also I don't trust Peter Moore to not try his best to ruin Nintendo's chance of winning their rightful awards.
And Titanfall could win best shooter. Should be Splatoon next year though.

Considering this is Peter Moore, who seemingly feels no remorse over basically Stabbing Nintendo in the back with their exclusive partnership, I agree.

How is Smash Bros. Wii U not even nominated for game of the year?
Mmmm. They might want to wait until more reviews come out, could eclipse Bayonetta 2.
