BioWare Crowned Champion of March Mayhem 2015

[Fdzzaigl]

For recent storytelling achievements, Telltale should have won imo.

For all time storytelling achievements and quality game development, Bioware wins hands down.

HEY! I WANT A WEEPY BIEBER TOO!

...There we go.

I'm a bit sad, but also pleased that Bioware finally got that victory it's never quite had. xD

And a huge congratulations to the top ten March Mayhem 2015 predictors:

Wasn't it supposed to be the top twenty?

"Once the voting has ended and a victor has been crowned, 20 lucky winners will receive a full year of Publisher's Club"

I mean, not that it affects me. I'm not in the top ten OR twenty, but still... false advertising.

Yes, top twenty will receive a full year of Publisher's Club. I was simply calling out the top ten in the post as noteworthy entrants since the list gets kind of long and you can easily see everyone on the leaderboard.

Ah, okay. Sorry about that, I misunderstood.

ITs funny considering you just claimed there is only one generic Dragon RPG...

What has Bioware released in 2014?

Dragon Age: Origins.

Nothing else, at all. Just one generic dragon RPG

Well i guess choose your own adventure books are technically games nowadays.

If you completely ignore the fact that all of the games released by telltale in 2014 are blatantly NOT anything remotely resembling a choose your own adventure book, then yes.

Clicking on text with a mouse.

That's all you do in Dragon Age Inquisition as well, if you ignore all of the interactions between dialogue that are in releases by both publishers in 2014...

Yeeeees!!! Bioware won! WOOOOO! The only thing better is the crying and gnashing of teeth from the vanquished. It's like the Republicans after McCain/Palin got whomped.

Pretty terrible that BioWare won, seeing as the only thing of note they did last year, Inquisition, was awful. Telltale had a much stronger year in comparison, even if Season 2 of The Walking Dead wasn't nearly as good as the first.

Telltale lost to a company that puts actually game play in with their awesome stories. No surprise there. I so love the smell of victory.So so sad that the Telltale fanboys and girls can't admit their indie company cant make a game with decent gameplay other then QTE's and on rail shooting. Great story's do not excuse lack of game play in a VIDEO GAME!

SO so mad. How can you defend a company that releases outstanding stories with zero game play? Do you not want a game to come with your story? If you just want a story then why not read a book? Also where are all the choices that make a difference in Telltales game? What choice can you make that changes the ending of The Walking Dead that makes it worth playing through a second time? That's right none.
How about have some bloody reason and demand more from your games. Telltale deserves hardly any esteem other then writing great stories. Sorry but a story alone does not constitute to a perfect game. They lost to a company that's been in it and will out last them. You lost today but that doesn't mean you have to like it.

I would prefer a well told short story with mild gameplay to a lot of gameplay with an overdrawn paper-thin story.
