Dishonored and Journey score big at BAFTA 2013

journey deserved it!

reveangence sucked! waiting for snake now

I thought Dishonored was an exceptional game, figured I would enjoy it from the reviews but I never thought I'd like it as much as I did, keep hoping they release a single player expansion pack or get going with a sequel

Well Done Journey.

I can't lie, I really didn't like Dishonored through the first half or so. Then something clicked and I started to really like it to the point that I didn't want it to end. I would have started a replay immediately, but I have a backlog I need to get through. I will get back to it eventually. Speaking of being dishonored, I am watching the last episode of Game of Thrones season 2 as I write this.  

Fifa 13 was nominated for something and Hitman absolution and action award? Now I know that the BAFTA awards are as rubbish as their best award.

congratulation Arkane, thank you for brought us one of the best stealth game this gen. Also a very big thank you for ThatGameCompany, Telltale, Ubisoft Montreal, and Bioware. You guys are the reason why 2012 are so incredibly awesome!

still no new games plus? clueless!

weird not to see the walking dead lol

Best MP Journey?? Nahh, nice game though deserving of the other awards

GREAT GAME. Loved it. Much deserved. 

That is a really solid list of picks. Much closer to what I would have picked than a lot of other outlets.

great for both dishonored and journey.

I used to think I was alone and crazy for not thinking that games like the Walking Dead, Dishonored and Journey were the best things to come out all year. Then I voted in the Gamespot public tournament and saw that my 2 favorite games of 2012 were matched up against each other in the finals (Far Cry 3 and Mass Effect 3.) I put more stock in that than any awards I read about.

to me, Dishonored is the closest thing I'll have to half-life 3.

YEAH!!

XD

Dishonored was a pre-order gamble that turned out well for me.  The other (cough Colonial Marines) made me think twice about pre-ordering in the future.

I'm glad Dishonored won but being a new IP and all but Far Cry 3 was the best game of the year.

I'm not a big fan of the video game BAFTAs.  Rolling out second rate celebs, to talk about how much they love games when they don't know what they're talking about.  Tbh, the developers probably just see this night as a reason to get drunk.

It's good to see a new IPs doing so well, and might help to encourage other publishers to take a chance on new IPs instead of lazily churning out endless sequels (I'm looking at you Ubisoft).

Personally I thought Dishonored was a bit mediocre. The gameplay was really repetitive, all the levels looked and felt the same, and the story was predictable and derivative.

Journey won Best Multiplayer ... Haters ... DEAL WITH IT

Well deserved..

Nice that my personal GotY also won Best Game at a big awards show. I don't always agree with people who make lists or gives out awards, but when I do, I make a comment about it.

Hmm, let me think, why Dishonored sells like hot cakes.... Maybe because it doesn't feature microtransactions, co-op, set pieces, mindless linear walkthrough, quicktime events, doesn't hold your hand,  and and has thought out story with believable characters?

NOOOOOOOOOO IT JUST GOT LUCKY LETS DO ANOTHER DEAD SPACE YOHOHO

2012 was a disappointing year in gaming so none of these really matter. It was a boring year with a few titles that were just "good" at best.

Jenova Chen has one hell of a follow up.

"Online - Multiplayer: Journey" wtf ... , such an overrated game, & certainly not best multiplayer.
