LOL I know spike tv awards are pretty much something to laugh at.

but still, their stupidity doesnt stop to amaze me.

the best graphics categories...the nominees are.

Batman AA

LA Noire

Rage

Uncharted 3.

no BF3, TW2 or Crysis 2 :lol: I love this guys lol

the sad part is that GS will be the same definitly

and thats something stupid to think, I mean its a best graphic category, not a "lets put games that are definitly not even close to have the best graphics of the year just so that every game has a fair chance of winning" sure those games are no match for BF3...because those games were not even close to deserve the best graphics of the year...a lot of people debate that Crysis 2 DX11 HRT looks better than BF3, while some claim the same about the witcher 2. so by logic, the witcher 2, crysis 2, and BF3 should be there. the only contendant who deserves to stay there is UC3 (since Rage had a bunch of technical hiccups)

All those games had really crappy graphics. The only one that should be mentioned is KZ3. U3 does look somewhat decent but the AA is much worse now and it's full of input lag! Talking about consoles of course.

wow people at the comments section of the category are very pissed, and everybody agrees that TW2, crysis 2 and BF3 should be there and that LA noire and rage have no business there. and sorry to tell you this folks, but batman doesnt deserve to be there either

I never saw the show since I'm from Switzerland but everything I heard so far about it, is, that's it's pretty much just a contest about popularity and that PC games are almost totally ignored, so I'm not really surprised :S

That is laughable. I hope their intention was for people to not take them seriously anymore.

On the other hand their nominees were already known before the games that were nominated were even out so I never took them seriously.

You're not supposed to have a clever name. Their supposed to be dumb and made when you're a young lad so you can look back and think "Wow I was dumb". Like my name "Chaoz-King" words can't describe how I wish I could change it but hey you don't see me making a new account.

Maybe it didn't have the most polygons or the most dynamic lighting, but it did have some very impressive animation and I think that's worth taking into consideration.

So basically all you need is good looking faces = graphics nominee.

If they are exceptionally good, yeah, it would seem so. LA Noire had some very innovative motion capture technology behind it, and I think Spike wanted to recognize that. It's not always about polygon counts.

Far too inconsistent, it's just the faces that are so well animated, the rest of the game is ugly and much more normal, hardly deserves it.

I thought we rate graphics on the overall package, not just one thing...

Well if that's how you feel about it, no-one is making you vote for it.

In Spike's defense, they only really judge the console versions. The whole show is about consoles, hence why they conveniently exclude PC.

Seems like they're missing a lot of catagories to me. What about Best puzzle game? Best platformer? Best Simulation? Best Zombie game? Just a few ideas.

Mainstream public doesn't care about PC gaming. Sad but true.
