how many of your votes were for the winning game(s)?
At least we should win cards for the games that we voted and won...

Can someone explain how GTAV was the best choice for nested/mini games?

And how Skyrim could win the “Test of Time” award?
Comment has been collapsed.
I voted for Skyrim because I started to play with it again recently and I still enjoy it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, seeing how this days average game is made to be replaced after a year, Skyrim is sooooooooo ooooooooooold.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because GTAV is the most popular game in that category. Same with all the other categories. Replace every category with "Which game do the most people like?".
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. Real shame. Gwent should've won mini game award. Gta 5 is plain stupid, besides Gta 4 was the first with all that "go to bowling with your cousin" nonsense.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed, I love GTAV, it's a great game, but putting it in that category is nonsense.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree with that (although I voted for Tabletop Simulator). While GTA 5 can be fun at times, the mini games are extremely boring (yoga, tennis, golf etc)...
Comment has been collapsed.
This. Every contest of this type turns into a vote for the most popular (or the "best") choice instead of the one that most fits the category.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because Grand Theft Auto V has tons of minigames and activities in it. Triathlon, tennis, golf, darts, hunting, flying school, shooting range, parachute jumping, paragliding, yoga, and so on. In my opinion it deserved the award.

^this.
If you have ever played the GTA Online, you'd know how many minigames are there.

+1 ... Uh. Now it's gonna be 1. So -1. Yes.
I mean zero. Yes.

4
I still hope they don't ever do this again... Or set real criteria for categories.

Is ETS2 really so good to win two of those? Never played it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say yes (but may be a bit biased as i have around 650 hours of playtime in it)....you can always try out the (outdated) demo of it it you want to see if you may like it.

Got full base game already from somewhere, guess it wont hurt to check it out :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, that is good (maybe).
Giving somethign a try never hurts.
Had bought it years ago (think was less then 6 months after it got on steam) just out of curiosity to see how it is....was surprised that it got me hooked so much (to be honest i...the first few hours i had a grin out of joy on my face while playing...no idea why ^^) as that kind of games was something i not really played before..
Comment has been collapsed.
Finny thing is i vote for both of ets 2 award, but never play them, just watching gameplay and review. Is it still fun if i only use keyboard or joystick?
Comment has been collapsed.
Never played it with keyboard/mouse...but if you want to try it i would say try the mouse steering.
Played it for years with my 360/xboxone gamepad and if you set it up to your liking it works very well.....joysticks should work too (no idea how it plays..but read that people use them).
Of course the best experience might still be with a (900° able) wheel, but that does not mean that it would be necessary.

I haven't played it yet, either, but so far it seems the people who play it, like it, but those who haven't don't see the appeal. Kinda funny.
For the "I thought this game was cool before..." Award, it had some odd competition, IMO.
Starbound is kinda broken, according a friend of mine who runs a server for it.
Stardew Valley is still fresh and popular enough that its inclusion is almost questionable (probably came in a close second, if I had to guess).
I didn't even know people even played Unturned.
Paladins isn't even out of Early Access yet, and has competition from Overwatch and stuff.
Plus, there might be the macho factor to consider: what's the manliest looking game on the list? The one with the friggin' truck.
For the "Sit Back..." Award, I think the decision probably came down to what people actually have played and/or heard of. I haven't played any of them, myself, but ABZU looked like the proper answer. Oh well.
But that 's just my take.

Both are great for that award. I'm glad at least one of those two won that one. At least some categories made sense...

Two. Im glad goat sim won the best use of farm animals award. Pretty disappointed at life is strange not winning there's sth in my eye and stardew valley for this game was cool before it won an award . :(

what's the deal with euro truck?

Considering Euro Truck MP won mod of the year too some time ago (with huge haters from every other mod-voters) that was to be expected really.

None. Had other expectations for games to vote for in the "Test of Time" category.

+1 Only one game in there was actually pretty old. But I guess that's what you get when the majority of the voters don't know any games older then Skyrim...

They should've named every category "which game out of these is the most popular one?".
I can see why Portal won its category, though I'd say BL2 deserved it more.
The “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” category might as well be "we picked 5 random games, which one do you like?".
"Test of Time" not sure why is a 5 years old game in this category, but guess I am too old (I picked TF2, though AoEII is also a very good contender).
“Just 5 More Minutes”. I can see why CSGO won, although I don't have a favorite in this category, I'd say Civ5/Terraria/RL are better contenders, because CSGO games usually take a lot more than "5 minutes", so a more fitting category would be "Just 30 more minutes".
“Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” GTAV won because of fanboys. Bioshock (the scene right before you enter the city) should have won or perhaps Witcher (the game as a whole), there's not even a "whoah dude" scene in the rest of those games, at least not any that I'd remember (actually I haven't played MGS at all, so perhaps there?)
“Game Within A Game” - Garry's mod or Tabletop should've won.
“I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye” That's the only category where all the games are actually fitting.
“Best Use Of A Farm Animal” - agreed on this one.
“Boom Boom” - also agreed.
“Love/Hate Relationship” - my pick was Darkest Dungeon, probably because I don't like DS series.
“Sit Back and Relax” - agreed on this one as well.
“Better With Friends” - my pick as well.
Got 4 right.

“Just 5 More Minutes”
Bullshit name for category, description works kinda better - game that you can play for hours.
It should be called, "Just 5 More Minutes, Mom!!!". :)
“Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!”
GTA5 truly deserves that award. I can't remmeber last time I made "whoa, dude, look how badly those guys are milking their franchise and totally abandon single player for multiplayer" :P
“Game Within A Game”
I actually see GTA5 or Witcher 3 as much better examples for this category. Main point of GTA5 is driving and shooting, so all those mini-games are "games withing a game". Same with Gwent in Witcher3 (or, how tons of people say, that mini-game Witcher 3 added to Main Game Gwent :P ).
In case of Tabletop Simulator, you start it to play those minigames, there is no "main game", so it doesn't really fit "withing a game" part..
Similar case can be said about Garry's Mod - you don't start GM to play GM, you start GM to play those other games.

Well, that's one of looking at it. And you're totally right. All those additions to multiplayer and you can't even get the cars in singleplayer (although I think there are mods that do it)...

Some of the winners just don't match the categories really, I wonder if that's really how people voted because some are horrendous

Why not.
It's a few years old and people still play it for thousands of hours

It's popular and the majority of the voters probably don't know any games older then Skyrim. I really hope that next year they either won't do this or handle it differently, because this is just horrible...

Age of Empires 2 deserved it. A 17 year old game still being played by thousands with new updates in 2016... The recent popularity of Skyrim is all that made it win, nothing to do with the "test of time". Lets be honest here :)

Yeah, the category names didn't really matter here. It was just a contest of which game is the most popular...

ZERO, missed the award for “I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye” tho.

5 votes (Skyrim, Walking Dead, Goat Simulator, Dark Souls III and L4D2). Would exchange any of them for an award for Rocket League, but well.. with that Valve competition. :o

quite a farce if i do say so myself
sorry for the mistake; this is take two; failed first try
have a consolation gib for a game that would have been suitable for several of the awards
original (afaik) discussion - wish i'd've more thoroughly checked 'fore making this redundant
