User blog comment:Dr Mutran/Mass Effect 3 in VGA 2012 (Results)/@comment-4967682-20121209081925

To people saying ME3 didn't win the GOTY because of the ending: no, it didn't lose because of the ending. It lost because it was inferior to many nominees. Is that so hard to believe?

Not like I trust the Spike VGAs though. Commander Shepard for best character? Really!? I would say that s/he's just a cardboard cutout, but at least you can control a cardboard cutout. Shepard has many baffling annoying and stupid moments regardless of what you do with him/her. Aside from that she/he is just a standard RPG protagonist with no personality. It's like nominating the Courier or the Chosen One. His/her competition is what really got me though: Master Chief? Don't get me wrong, I like Halo, but really? Will the award next year go to "Pair Of Hands That Fires Guns #376"? And why was Claptrap nominated? Handsome Jack is a way better character from the same series.

Leviathan also got nominated for Best DLC. That must mean that all DLC is terrible, because Leviathan was inexcusably, shockingly bad.

I'm probably getting too worked up over this, but god, those results bug me.
