4Chan Awards List Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3, War Z As Worst Games Of The Year

Gaming Blend "A list of “vidya gaem awards” have been handed out by the underbelly of the internet trolling community, 4Chan. Since video game journalism is about as reputable as an obese racing horse with diabetes, the good /V/irgins decided to host their own gaming awards and unsurprisingly, the worst games of the year were the ones that were called out for anti-consumerism one way or another."

I hated ME3 ending and the way EA handle the SP DLC but the game was improvement compared to ME2. Where I felt EA just hand the game over to Epic during the development process and strip some to most of the ME1 features/elements.
Is it suited to be called worst game of the year? Nope

I always hear crap about D3 being terrible but PC gamers went out brought it in-spite knowing about the always online requirement and the RMTS(Real money trading system).

If a game truly is terrible then don't buy it.

The WarZ out of the 3 really do deserve the worst game of the year. If EA want to see bad example how to do a microtransaction system they should look at WarZ. The mts is just the tip of the iceberg, sadly.

Krimmson4064d ago

The award wasn't worst game of the year. The award was most hated game of the year. There's actually a difference when you think about it.

Even if a game is considered "good" you can still end up hating it.

Godmars2904064d ago

From what I've heard and seen of side quest management, the limited and removed choices in conversation options, I really have to disagree with you in regards to ME3. The issues with the ending just made the rest less notable.

I didn't even find a big issue with the ending, I don't know what ppl wanted.

silvacrest4064d ago

ppl wanted something better

i mean....for such a epic game to end with such a lackluster sequence of events...disappointing doesnt even cover it

the thing i dont get is after all the hard work that went into all three games why skimp right at the end?

aliengmr4063d ago (Edited 4063d ago )

Ohh, I don't know, maybe battle the Reapers instead of some random space brat.

Something similar to ME2s final mission is what I actually expected. Except like a crazy version of it.

What we got was an meh battle for Earth capped of by 1 ending in 3 different colors that made no sense. It was so cheap and clearly rushed.

spicelicka4063d ago

I understand that totallyy. But i just don't get the crazy overreaction people had. Internet threats, boycotting, sending cupcakes. They didn't do a good job but they definitely didn't deserve that stuff.

Have you played the War Z??? I understand people might prefer Day Z, but the amount of hate this game gets is stupid. Best 15 bucks I spent this year. 60 hours deep and the game will continue to improve. You want a bad game play the new aliens game. People should try playing games before hating them because its popular. The War Z has only taken 15 bucks from me and given me more than most 60 dollar games give me. Rant out

So, N4G has completely given up on moderation?

Timesplitter144064d ago

You gotta admit, though : that's a pretty entertaining/good list.

Qrphe4063d ago (Edited 4063d ago )

If we approve articles of interviews done on some random "gamer girl," Kotaku articles, obvious troll bait from opinion pieces, and stuff like "If Luigi had a dating sim profile," then I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.

At least this was funny.

Goddammit all of my hate for Jessica Chobot just came back.

Blacktric4063d ago (Edited 4063d ago )

"So, N4G has completely given up on moderation?"

"OH MY GOD THERE'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY PLAYS GAMES CREATED THEIR OWN VIDEOGAME AWARD SHOW AND ACCEPTED VOTES FROM ACTUAL PEOPLE! QUICK TAKE THIS ABOMINATION DOWN OTHERWISE MUH BELOWED IGN'S LATEST GAME REVIEWS WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO 1000 DEGREES!"

Joking aside, are you really bound to auto pilot when it comes to newspieces about 4chan or what people from 4chan thinks (eventhough it is relevant gaming news)? Is that why you just have the sudden urge to question the lack of moderacy when there are hundreds of pointless "hurr I'm gurl gaymhur give me attenshun" or "someone called me a name on the internet, please someone alert NASA and give me more attention" articles that gets approved each month? Seriously?

WeAreLegion4063d ago

No. I have a problem with most articles on this site. Kotaku is a joke. IGN sucks, as well. So, don't get that idea.

I'm gonna go ahead and report that one for "personal attack". Good job.

Blacktric4063d ago (Edited 4063d ago )

Not liking articles that are up to at least some sort of quality standard (in this case) is your problem. Same goes for comparing articles like this to the fecal matter that sites like IGN produces. But eventhough you are really sensitive, at least you are honest, so I guess that counts for something.

"Spending a week with the film industry crowd makes me appreciate the game crowd all that much more. We're cool."

Keep in mind, this is the same guy that said, and I quote, "Gamers are the worst f***ing people."

Yeah, that really bothered me.

He's such a hypocrite for cash.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

thorstein78d ago

I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.

All those games had to release without bugs.

shinoff218378d ago

Comebacks shouldnt be a thing in videogames. Just saying.
