So happy my favourite games this year won their respective categories.
Maybe that means that the witcher 3 has another shot next year at best RPG when they release the Blood and Wine 20 hours expansion? lol
And this images is freaking marvelous!

Splatoon is so accessible. You don't need to kill to contribute. Just roll.
The fact it is competitive along with easy for new players who aren't competitive really adds alot to the game.
Typical fps players will go hunt other players while others why stay away and ink up everything and both are having fun.
Its easily better than the other games in those lists.
Rainbow 6 has beaten it now though.

CoD, cards? Can you explain what you mean there?
Shame Rainbow Sixe: Siege didn't release soon enough to be consideredBest MP I've played in awhile.
Siege has a good concept but has a terrible technical execution. That 15hz tickrate should be enough to disqualifiy it from any multiplayer award next year, and it doesn't stop there. But yeah, the gameplay design and concept is incredible.

Just play it one day whether on this system or their next one, it's that good.
Sorry, Cryptokeys. The inclusion of the system seems to slow everything down.

Not sure where the 15hz tickrate figure came from, but it's been debunked in the OT.
It's low, for sure, and I hope they can improve it. Low tickrate isn't preventing the game from working, though. It's also hard to tell how much latency issues are tickrate vs server or other technical problem this soon after the game is released.
It's easily one of the richest shooters I've played in a while.
If it's on NX, I'm there day one.

I'm a huge Halo fan but I can't disagree with this. Splatoon is probably my GoTY and maybe my favorite Nintendo game ever. It's good enough that my wife convinced me to buy a second Wii U just so we could play together in the same Squad.

Haven't played Splatoon yet (giving it to my son tomorrow) but Rainbow 6: Siege is the best mp shooter i personally played in years (and co-op). Right up my alley. Soo good. CoD will get no more playtime this year from me.
But very curious about splatoon now.
Yes it is.
It absolutely deserves best shooter but I didn't expect it to win anything. This is a pleasant surprise.
Nah, Callie, Marie, and DJ Octavio are the source of many laughs.
I'm more miffed Yoshi and Kirby weren't nominated for best art.

The game makes has convinced me that Nintendo shouldn't be afraid to give more artistic freedom to their younger generation of developers, it's a Superb game honestly
Splatoon is kind of like Nintendo's Team Fortress equivalent. There's much more to it than fps gameplay. And the control scheme is phenomenal. I've emulated it using the gyro on my Steam controller for R6.
I hve to say that in an industry of check list game design, I'm thrilled Splatoon was able to abandon that model and just be a fantastic game. If you're first thought it to ask why CoD and BF whatever didn't win, remember that those games are based off a decade plus of games built before. Incremental development at it's finest, pulling the best from different popular shooters to make it's own. Splatoon did none of that. With "complex" motion controls, Splatoon focused on making the act of moving fun. Then it built maps that gradually build on this concept, eventually introducing new forms of movement just by introducing new maps. The slow trickle also allowed new players of shooters(The nintendo audience) to join in and not be drowned in the intial first wave like most shooters, which most thought was going to make Splatoon DoA. But stacked on that, is the fact that Turf War is probably the best shooter mode created right now. It makes area control a real thing and death a choice. Haven't even really touched on hiding in the ink, or using the ink to climb walls to get to new areas. Or the single player!
Splatoon is legit the best shooter of the year, and probably of the generation.
Also true. I think Splatoon sold a few steam controllers itself. Using motion controls on Counterstrike is amazing.

Splatoon is the real deal--said earlier in this thread that I ALMOST bought a WiiU just for it.

How does it compare to Wii U GamePad controls in Splatoon? Can you recommend it? If so, it seems I've found a reason to pick up a Steam Controller.
I mean...imma let you finish, but the Wonderful 101 was 2013's GOTY.

Late reply but I prefer highly skilled competitive shooters. Not saying Splatoon is not as I don't know for sure, but from the outside it doesn't seem to be that way. Also maybe because it is just different and unique. Which I suppose is a good thing these days.

Splatoon has an insanely high skill ceiling. Also, it's far more tactical than most other FPS, since the minimap and third-person view can give you a lot of information if you're sharp enough to comprehend what it's telling you in time.
And 2012 belongs to NIntendoLand.
There's a lot of skill involved in Splatoon. Not so much with precision aiming but it's more about movement and map control (inking).
Really guys, give it a shot and be open about the motion controls.

Sure, because we all know that low latency and a huge amount of tickrate issues like tradekills, kills from enemies not even facing you, hitscan-issues and so on are hotfix-material. The game is incredible in it's design, but the technical side is so flawed, it just cannot win any multiplayer category as of this day. Maybe they make some huge improvements till next award season, then we can debate this again. Rainbow Six: Siege Vanilla has not earned any multiplayer award.

I want it but for SP and some occasional play, so the price affects my decision to buy. I know it deserves it, in my case it is relative to play time.
How long is the SP?

So judge new games on past games in the series... Got ya. Not a fan of this way of thinking. Judge each game as a separate entity. I would hope most people that post on this fourm are aware COD is made by 3 different teams, trading off in 3 year cycles making each game very different from the previous one. Of course they share some similarities, but most games in the same genre do.
Okay, you guys are making me want to play it lol. I love the art style that is for sure. I was holding out for either a killer Wii U deal (preferable sub $200) or some sort of launch window for a NX. I grew up on Nintendo and have owned all their systems except for the Wii U. Kinda crazy thinking about that fact.
Knowing how to react to subweapons and using those subweapons effectively.
Learning how to make the most of each weapon.
Using the unique traversal system effectively.
There's a lot of skill involved here.
I've battled some amazing Japanese players
and crushed them, ha.
Yet still better than judging Splatoon with 0 experience.
Lets be honest, CoD base game hasn't really changed.
SP is good, but it's really preparation for MP.
You can complete it in about 5-6 hours.

Haha, nice!
Sounds great.
I gotta say, as much of a failure the WiiU is in sales, the console has some insanely quality titles.
yeah you really need to check out some competitive Splatoon matches. there's nothing quite like it and the skill ceiling is ridiculously high.

main reason why i stopped playing and the only thing that sucks about it is that there's not many US players. each server is basically 6 japanese players and 2 US players which often times makes you feel like your shots dont register/they kill you before you even react to shoot. even with my uni internet it doesnt run great, but ping is not much you can fault nintendo for
still insane amounts of fun on a splatfest where you face only US opponents

Best Multiplayer. I agree with.
Best Shooter. No way.

The sensitivity of both the trackbed and gyro are fully customisable, so you could most likely get it 100% identical if you fiddled.

Not extremely long but not extremely short either though on the short side if I had to pick one of those extremes.
It's a very good designed singleplayer game.

Destiny TTK is my best shooter of the year with BLOPS 3 being the best Multiplayer. Though now I am interested in checking out Splatoon. The vids and reviews just didn't sell me on the game.
sp is short but never overstays its welcome. every level offers a new unique concept to play with
And if you feel like playing a little more of the single-player, there's always the Amiibo Missions.
