I think we’re past the patting on the back phase.

Gratz on the good foundation. Now they have to build.

Here’s what people thought of GW1 when it first came out: http://tinyurl.com/bntcvyc
“A release is 7 days or less away or has just happened within the last 7 days…
These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”

Wayyyy lonnngggg past the pat-on-the-back phase…

Most of these stupid awards are just part of the marketing/advertisement game (compare the number of advertisements on game sites by a game company to the amount of awards their games get from that site; there’s a very obvious correlation).

I have noticed some very crappy games getting the various game of the year awards; don’t be naive about it.

What’s conspiratorial about it? Do you know how many awards SWTOR won BEFORE IT EVEN CAME OUT?

Look how kittenty that game turned out.

Those are awards based on the prospect of the game. Like “most anticipated”, “most innovative” or whatever, stuff like that. They don’t really count since it’s not based on player feedback.

If SWTOR got awards AFTER it got released, then sure you’ve got a point (quantity should also be taken into account).

They did get game of the year and Best MMO of the year…

Well, it’s not like any other big MMORPG shipped in 2012. SWTOR was the end of 2011 iirc. (and from what i see they goto some Game of the Year 2011 awards as well, not only the “most anticipated”)

Actions, not words.
