MEA recieved JUST 1 Golden Joystick nomination

True, the amount of awards a game gets has no bearing on how well you enjoy a game. What it does do however is paint a picture of how the industry (gamers or media) perceived a game. A lot of people here want to think that the negative reception of MEA was not representative of most of the MEA owners but rather a vocal minority who was hellbent on taking Bioware down for various reasons. What this award season will show is a generalized view of MEA and not just a vocal minority.

You can discount the Golden Joystick awards, but they are voted on by the consumers which does have some creditbility....I mean....they ARE the ones who played the games being nominated. If you dont want to accept that, then there are other awards like D.I.C.E. that are nominated and voted by industry devs.....peers of Bioware.

So yeah, these awards shows whether or not it was truely a vocal minority that didnt enjoy MEA or if it was much much larger.



You may not care for awards but EA and Bioware does, especially for the use of marketing and public relations which is something Bioware really needs a win with. This "could" be relevant in how EA or Bioware chooses to approach any future Mass Effect game; specifically if it is a direct sequel to MEA or if it is a soft reboot but stays in Andromeda or if it goes back to the MW.....or if they just never make another ME game.
