The 2016 DICE Award Winners [UPDATED]

When you compare how dumbed down Fallout 4 is compared to Fallout 3 and how improved Witcher 3 is from Witcher 2, I think the real winner becomes more apparent. Both games are great, but in my humble opinion Witcher 3 is one of the best games released in the last 10-15 years. The adventure game of the year was unfinished on every front except it's game engine, I still can't wrap my head around that. MGS 4 will stand in my book as the best in the series, and again comparing 5 to 4 is just disappointing.

GOTY aside, I'm kinda surprised that Marcin Przybyłowicz, Mikołaj Stroiński and Percival have got so few awards for TW3 music. I think it was really great.

wow bunch of Bethesda fan boy theres. fall out 4 was not a good game at all. it was a rehash of 3 and vegas mixed with mindcraft elements. just my opinion on fallout 4. atleast all there other sites and fans know the real winner witcher 3. best game ever hands down and only made with a 80 man team who cared and loved the game they were making.

boo dice and fallout 4 rehash so disappointed in you today

Based on how Halo fanboys have been acting for months you would think Halo 5 would have been game of the year. Not even nominated.

How can Fallout 4 win an award like Game Direction? I mean WHAT game direction? It's just another Bethesda open world game and their weakest release yet...

Fallout 4 seem to did well. I have bias againts fallout as it was hugely disappointing game for me. I went back and played old fallout 3 and new vegas modded. I realized that even fallout 3 wasn't that great tbh there is no build up in story like in new vegas where so many of your actions have an effect on the ending. Fallout 4 ending was so anticlimatic for me.

There were so many disappoinments in Fallout 4. When you place fences and wall they always float and same with the houses. That alone made me unhappy about it but it wasn't even enough. There whole minutemen faction were all about grinding radiants and hauling all the crap from the world. That unpolishness that Fallout 4 has just isn't going to cut it for much longer in competitive market like this.

Fallout 4 game of the year. What a fucking joke.

An RPG that fails at being an RPG and manages to make an apocalypse full of mutants boring. Yeah that is definitely GOTY.

Good that Battlefront won an award for its sound design. Dice makes the best sounding games out there and deserve all the recognition in the world.

I'm a Witcher fanboy (even made a mod for TW1 called The Weird World of the Witcher) and so I don't agree with the choice of winners for the first two awards, but Fallout 4 isn't a bad choice either. The Witcher 3 did win in a few other important areas like story and game design, as well as technical achievement.

Nice to see that Dice also won at the DICE Awards.

I liked Fallout 4 but it did not deserve to win the RPG title of the year against Witcher 3. This is a joke, Fallout 4 is barely an RPG. If Fallout 4 is an RPG then Metal Gear deserve to be one too.

It's unfortunate as a Fallout fan to see such hatred for the game. Fallout was usually so underrated, but Fallout 4 was so hyped and ended up being casualized in several ways that it was just dissapointing...

I can't believe Battlefront won the award. That game barely has anything noteworthy!

Fallout 4 is a good game, but not a stellar game. Witcher 3 was last years best game by far, for me it is one the best games in the last 10 years. But well to each their own..... How MGSV and SW: Battlefront are getting awards besides when it comes to graphics is beyond me. MGSV was an unfinished piece of crap and Battlefront is the definition of shallow.... But again, to each their own i guess.

i took it seriously until battlefront won action game of the year. is this for real or what ?

its kinda funny that us gamers who should have the power to decide who wins what dont agree with whats happened. i mean i cant see 1 comment on here thats happy with these choices lol.

Well done Fallout... These awards are as just as legitimate as any others.

Witcher 3 has won around 4 GOTY's for every 1 that Fallout 4 has won, making TW3 the clear winner and deservedly so, but FO4 comes second this year. Fallout 4 is a good game, it's just not the 'new shiny' any more. But there is still much to appreciate which these awards did.

The salt in this thread is very funny.

Complete bullshit, when I saw outstanding achievement in game direction I knew it was a popularity contest. Fallout 3.5 sucks, let's see... Terrible repetitive/simplistic gameplay? Check. Terrible half assed story? Check. Clunky animations? Check. Bugs? Check. 2010 graphics? Check. Bland world? Check. Repetitive fetch quests? Check. Boring characters? Check. How did this garbage Fallout 3 expansion win anything? I love how the Bugthesda fanboys still run with the whole "OH WITCHER 3 HAS TERRIBLE GAMEPLAY!" As if they know what good gameplay is, one of those idiots told me that Skyrim has better gameplay than TW3. SKYRIM, the simplistic piece of shit where you spam the same button over and over.

Talk about bullshit awards.

Fallout wins

OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN GAME DIRECTION

LMFAO!!!

Every single game nominated next to F4 in the GotY category deserved the award far more than F4.. but who cares, even from looking at the other categories and the games nominated there (and some of the winners) and you can clearly see these awards are a joke

What the actual ****.

WHy Fallout 4 got so many achievements? It didn't bring anything new to gaming. Fallout 4 is no more than just re-skinned Fallout3.

Fallout doesn't deserve those two awards. Witcher 3 was robbed. Fallout 4 was a modded version of vegas. Nothing new or ground breaking.

How did Fallout 4 win those two above? Wow. It's not a bad game, but compared to others, it doesn't really deserve awards.

Forza is still the racer to beat

Still,Turn 10 needs to overhaul the offline mode. Wished there was a carreer mode(but improved) like in the first 2 Formula One games

What? Fallout 4? *facepalm*

Game Developers have crap tastes it seems, what a joke.

Fallout 4? Seriously? WHAt?

I like the way no one could eat politely the first hour or so, including clanging of plates and cutlery. Like they must of been scrapping every last drop of gravy off them plates!

What a joke. lol

I don't see how anyone could honestly tell me (after having played both games) that fallout 4 is in any way shape or form a better game, let alone a better "RPG" than the Witcher 3.

Witcher 3 had a better story, lot better writing, better characters, much deeper rpg mechanics, choices that actually mattered, a heck of a lot better animation quality/non-janky engine.
