3/4 VGA purchased. I didn’t even doubt that in current racing it’s ahem-ahem and will win
In general, as with the post somewhere higher. I don’t agree with more than half of them.
And in general WHERE IS FARCRAY 3 FUCK!!1!1
P.S. no, seriously, even Vaas is not among the characters of the year (I’m generally silent about the forgotten “Best Villain” award)
Some kind of rotten VGA this year, IMHO.
Somehow I don’t care. Some people, somewhere out there, in the countries of developed Capitalism, chose something there and gave something there. The best RPG is a failure, the best race is also a failure. The list of games was compiled by a clearly stoned monkey.
NFS: Most Wanted?! Are you serious? No, the game is not a complete waste, but it’s not the race of the year. Forza Horizon – this is what a winner should be.
Samuel Jackson was great, had a great ceremony! Also, the release date for “The Last of Us” has finally been announced!
I absolutely agree with the choice of “Walking”, one of the few games this year that managed to leave a strong impression. I experienced similar sensations only when completing Journey. Actually, these two games were the most memorable and original for me in 2012.
And I’m happy for The Walking Dead: The Game and Telltale Games, the game turned out super cool. I practically agree with everything, but the races let us down, I voted for Dirt(
I expected that Little Big Planet would win, that it was completely out of competition..
