Best Fighting Game: Persona 4 Arena
Ass Effect 3 was horse shit what the fuck.
I will say I'm impressed with the choice of Persona 4 Arena.
I'm glad to not see Cawadoodie on this list anywhere.
[spoiler]I still don't think that alone validates the VGA though.[/spoiler]
The Walking Dead... Really? Was 2012 the shittiest year for gaming ever or is that a typo?
And where the fuck is Gravity Rush?
Was able to finally watch the award show. Really enjoyed it, a lot in thanks to Samuel hosting. I've heard that the VGA awards weren't doing so well in ratings in the past few years, but maybe this year will change that. As far as Walking of the Dead, was looking at a play through on YouTube. The actual gameplay isn't strong, but holy shit at that storyline. And because your choice can effect how you end up, I can see why its so popular.
Being changed up this time around....

When you actually feel bad for Doritos Pope, you know its bad. Hell, some folks on Neogaf wanted Geoff to straight up sock the other guy in the mouth.
All I know about VGX is that they showed a Todd & Aaron video. Automatically best award show ever!

All I know is that after Tell-tall-tales tricked me with JP, I wasn't about to touch their adaption of TWD. I'll never touch another one of their games again. :doom:

Well be prepared to be doing a shit load of ducking and dodging, those fuckers are releasing like 4 games next year.
Meanwhile, all that needs to be said about it in an Angry Joe rant.

Dude I don't watch anything on Spike. And as far as I'm concerned all of their programming is pure shit.
VGA is just one huge paid advertizement and celebrity wankfest. Want me to take that piece of shit seriously? Get someone like IGN & EGM to host the event and drop all the celebrity wanking. They've got enough wankfests of their own. And lets be honest, the majority of them couldn't even thumb their way through xbox/Playstation menu system. Lastly, FUCK Viacom. MTV & Spike suck dicks.

This was pretty much the reason for the change this year, it wasn't really live and felt more personal with game developer interviews and stuff. They have really laid down the groundwork for something good this year, but it needs work. Need some better host, and use less time on certain things. But its definitely getting there.
This was commercial free and streamed on twitch compared to being on TV at the request of the gaming community.
