D.I.C.E. Awards - The Last of Us didn't win ...

Probably because of the detail put into the game world

GTA V is the biggest and the most detailed open world game and has three playable characters to switch between while playing the game in a flawless manner. And the game switches from in-game cutscene to gameplay without ever showing a loading screen. And then there is GTA Online.

Did BS:I really have original music? All I heard was Mozart, Beach Boys, Scott Joplin and various religous songs.

This is why I hate mainstream gaming. There were so many sleeper hit games that I enjoyed more than TLOU, and they aren't even recognized.

TLOU deserved every award except art direction. No idea how it won that.

@Krelian-co: technically, it's keyword "I". Maybe it's that I'm not okay with the same game taking up most of the awards when other games do it better but were ignored because they werent mainstream or didn't have the money to be mainstream (marketing).

@soulitane: TLOU not innovative? Well in a generation where fast twitch shooters dominate the market, Naughty Dog said well let's do the complete opposite and slow down the gameplay. In a market dominated by brain dead zombies, Naughty Dog said let's try something new, let's make then infected instead of undead, let's give all the infected a different class. Let's introduce story telling into a zombie game for once. Let's make a multiplayer based on stealth instead of the usual COD-ified fast twitch shooters. A completely new IP with new game design that succeeded. Haters gone hate

Idk what game was actually innovative last year though. People say Super Mario 3D world but shit there's been 3D platformers since PS1. I really don't know honestly.. i guess Beyond 2 Souls but i wouldn't wanna award it anything.

I think people who dislike TLOU will not agree it was innovative so no point in debating with them in the first place. If a consensus of developers agree with me that TLOU was innovative, then i think my sanity is in check, unlike some people who cannot objectively analyse subjects without resorting to fan boy nonesense, that is not to say i am not a fan boy and i lack bias, but i can clearly welcome critic and observe a subject from a non fan perspective.

The gun fights and combat alone makes the game play like no other game, please critics mention any other game with a combat system like TLOU. While not every design choice was pulled off with flying colours, you can see that ND has their sights on things a lot of dev ignore, things like AI in particular, while it was not properly done, it did create moments of magic where you feel sooner or later, ND will master how to make an enemy AI feel relevant in a battle scene. Not just canon fodder of waves of same faces rushing to the slaughter but hey whatever right, fanboys gonna fanboy

- biggest open World game = Just Cause (2?)

- no loading screens is nothing new

- GTA online is probably the most innovative thing there, but even that isn't THAT innovative.
