out of ALL the years for them to possibly win it..this was not the one. mass effect 2 maybe, but sweet jesus was inquisition a huge pile of "meh", with a 4 course meal of filler content.
BioWare Crowned Champion of March Mayhem 2015
- Thread starter s0osleepie
- Start date
Oh good, this march mayhem event is over. I guess this thread will definitely not be filled with people taking the outcome way too seriously and bitching about other people's taste in games ...
That last vote confuses me though.
Between the two companies BioWare released one game and TTG released three in the same year and all three of them were of comparable quality...whereas BioWare's one game wasn't a train wreck but it certainly wasn't good enough to counterbalance three TTG titles of outstanding quality in my opinion.
But that aside my opinion is worth exactly 1 vote and apparently other people grade BioWare on a career average curve or something, as compared to a single years achievements.

OOOOOOOOOOooooohhhh the bitter tears, they taste so sweet and yet, so salty. I love them, I love them so. The fact that everyone in these forums hates BioWare SOOOOO much and yet Bioware continues to win community Game of the Year and March Madness just illustrates the very definition of the phrase vocal minority.
Honestly, I think both companies are great, I love Dragon Age Inquisition and I love the Walking Dead and I really wanna play The Wolf Among Us. I'm glad these two companies were in the final two, their success was WELL DESERVED.

I had Valve picked for winning it all against Bioware.
I haven't kept up with the forums as much but remember Valve as being a company that could do no wrong around here. Everything was a masterpiece in it's field. I just assumed nothing would touch them and voted accordingly.
I'm really happy to have been prove wrong.
Now I love Telltale Games and would personally vote them over Valve but you have to admit that Telltale is a one trick pony. They make one game and they do it well. Not even amazingly well since no one raves about their gameplay. I was shocked to see them beat Valve.
My personal take on Bioware vs Telltale. Both these companies are similar in that they focus on one type of game for the most part. Telltale has made much better games in the last 2 years but Bioware has the superior backlog. Ultimately I'd give the nod to Bioware since they blend good storyline and gameplay. It's just a more complete gaming package.
Gratz to those who won! I finished 40th apparently. Feels good

I know, I wish I could play it but between Walking Dead Season 2, Wolf Among Us, Witcher 3 and Cities: Skylines I just can't afford to buy all these games so I've had to wait. Plus I've been watching people stream Rainbow Six Siege and Killing Floor 2 and now I really want those games. Woe is me to be a poor college student.Bat Vader said:
Kinda insane how expensive college can be. I'm attending a community college at the moment but I would love to attend either Michigan State University or University of Michigan. At the same time though I'm not really keen on the idea of going into debt via student loans.Joseph Harrison said:
I think that Telltale's fundamental problem as a game dev is that there's very little in terms of gameplay. I'm not contesting the emotional punch of their stories or whatever, but I think that in designing a game, gameplay should always come first, and there's very little of it in Telltale games.
Well that's not really surprising. People voted for Inquisition as GOTY, stands to reason that they'd vote for the company that made it to be dev of the year...
Also, let's not resort to name calling. I mean, I didn't vote them either (I stopped caring after Supergiant was knocked out), but still, people are entitled to their opinions.

I mean, not that it affects me. I'm not in the top ten OR twenty, but still... false advertising.
It's not like actually need people to tell me that gaming is dying. I knew that without this poll. But eh, congratz I guess. A huge step backwards.
Im not so much happy that Bioware won but that Telltale lost. it should not gone half as far as it went. CUrse you for destroying all those good companies in your run.
Not much love for either companies here.

OR have an opponent that does not make any games.Jandau said:
Gaming is dieing because the company with actual gamesplay has won.... sorry, does not compute.BiH-Kira said:
You obviously have not played any of the 11 episodes of three series released in 2014 by Telltale if you think there is only one generic visual novel.Strazdas said:
Yes, aside from the 11 games released by Telltale in 2014 they made no games.Strazdas said:
Yes, aside from all of the gameplay needed to drive the story forward and the choices made during said gameplay there is absolutely no interactivity whatsoever in all of the 11 games released by Telltale in 2014.Strazdas said:
Dude, stop reading whatever newspaper you currently are and experience things for yourself.
