Doesn't really bother me. As long as I get enjoyment out of it that's all that I really care about.

[QUOTE="Utensilman"] 3 years? i guess they're just pathetic then. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy journey but if you think video games are "art" get out of the house moreActicEdge

Wait, wait.

You don't think video games are art?

hahahahahahaha

I don't, I don't really put art and games together at all. Shrug, I play games for fun, not to gawk at how impactful or artsy they wanna pretend to be 99% of the time.

It's not about gawking at the art. Everything about videogaems are art. Mario is art. Journey is art.

All of the modeling, concept art, animation, music, level design. It is all art. How can you not think video games are art. At this point, it is not opinion. It is fact. Writing is art, painting is art, dance is art, music is art. All of these are part of every game that is made. Video games are art.

wait so ps3 gets fez but 360 doesnt get journey :lol: stupid lemmingsPressXtoJump

I don't really view it as art, its not really something where I feel there is much objectivity to calling it art. I agree it contains art since obviously music and visuals are art but meh, I don't really see a video game (the game portion itself opposed to what its made of) as something that I can actively view as art. If you wanna think what you are saying is fact you're free to but I disagree regardless of your authoratative input.

If all of it's components are art, then isn't the enire thing art?

Why wouldn't a game be art? I don't really see the logic.

That's perfectly logical to say. You are talking about the quality of the art. One could argue that games have not yet reached the stage of "high art". But to question wheter or not a game is art, I just don't see the argument.

This year sucked for big budget games. Downloadable games was what I played most. Lots of high quality stuff on the eShop and I still need The Walking Dead collection. Looking forward to that. In terms of my GOTY... Uh. I don't know nothing really stood out this year beyond Xenoblade which I haven't finished yet unfortunately. Dishonored was good but not GOTY good in my opinion.

Edit: Kid Icarus: Uprising was a 2012 title? Eff everything else! That's my GOTY. That game was so unexpectedly awesome and weird as f***.

So im installing Guild Wars 2 now. Did anyone think this game is GOTY material?

Nice! PS3 is on a roll with 3 GOTYs this gen!

If I had to choose my personal GOTY, it's got to be XCOM: Enemy Unknown, hands down. I played the original XCOM and this game brings back memories, especially the pain and hardship. That game was no joke.

Runner up to my GOTY would have to be FTL: Faster than light. Indie games this year are on a roll! FTL is a space strategy game where you have to fend of attacks from other ships and risk everything to survive. It's like Oregon Trail in space!

too late?

too late?

Hope you all know that by praising this < 2 hour long selection for GOTY you're only telling'em that's all the time & effort it takes so get ready for more of this.

Heck, Dust would have been a better pick but even then, that would have sent the wrong signal to devs.

That said, both are fine, fine games but GOTY they are not... Now Halo 4, ME3, Guild Wars etc would have made much more sense. :P

Spartan Ops is terrible in halo 4 so there is no chance that would have won GOTY.ME3 had the terrible ending and the weird design choices and I don't know why GW2 did not win.

True.I just did not like how spartan ops was structured, but the rest of the game is amazing.

I don't honestly get why GOTY has to be anything other than the best game. If the best game is 2 hours the best game is 2 hours. Sending a message shouldn't be what GOTY is about.

I just played journey a second time last night to maybe see if I was missing something that I didn't see or feel. I just don't understand how it won game of the year. I grant that its very artistic and and music was great but Game of the Year? Really?

I agree. It's nice to see a game from a smaller developer win for once, and not a big block buster game win every year. Go Journey!
