The game is overhyped, plain and simple. Is it a great game? Yes. Is it perfect like many people like to say it is? Not even close. For an RPG, it's pretty lacking in the exploration department. The story takes a while to start up, which okay, typical RPG problem as it usually takes a while to get to the real meat of the story. But then it goes on and on. Granted, a lot of people don't care about story in a game, but as someone who does, it's an issue. The gameplay is what gets it all the praise, but considering once you get the system down, it isn't the end all be all that people keep harping on about.

It's a great debut game with flaws that will assuredly be remedied in a future installment. And it's indie status is pretty debatable considering Sandfall didn't entirely fund it themselves, but that's an entirely different argument that has no relevance to most of the categories its nominated in.

A lot of great games got overlooked this year as many categories have many of the same games, which is kind of ridiculous. That's not the fault of this game or any of the others. But TGA always seem to favor certain games and this year, it's heavily favoring CO:E33 to the point that, hype wise, there's no real competition for it and comes off as pandering to gamers who have aggressively sung its praise when it came out and once the nominations dropped.

A Judgment remaster would be better off being packaged with 3 remastered. Would allow Microsoft to charge $59.99-$69.99 for a Deluxe edition that Judgment is exclusive to (something they would love to do considering how even the barest of 'premium' editions they release now are $99.99 or more) and would complete the 360 era of Gears while they charge $49.99 for Gears 3 remastered (again, they'd want you to buy the Deluxe edition, so having it JUST $20 more is a way to entice players).

Or remaster 2, 3, and Judgment and sell them all in a package while later remastering 4 and 5 as a separate package deal. I imagine E-Day will be released 6 months to a year after it debuts on Xbox, but I wouldn't be surprised if they dive right in for the most money right away and have it multiplatform day 1.

Aaron Paul is 45 years old. Eddie Dean is 23 years old. Far from 'perfect'. By that logic, Sean Penn would be an even better choice. Not Sean Penn now. Sean Penn in the 1980s, just like people are thinking of Aaron Paul during his time on Breaking Bad.

I disagree, but Pedro would be good in one of the many villainous roles throughout the series, preferably one of the more otherworldly entities.

And despite not having blue eyes, which could easily be remedied with high end color contacts and some post editing to make them look more natural, Josh Brolin is a much better fit for Roland as he can nail the stoic nature quite easily. The only issue with any casting of Roland is not only the Roland we'll do most of the journey with, but also the younger Roland that we'll meet when he finally shares his story with his companions after their encounter with Blaine the Mono. I'm sure they won't cast as young as 14 as he was in Wizard and Glass, but somebody that is either around 18 or could pass for 18 is most likely. And I can't really think of anybody younger that is known that could pass for a younger Brolin. Or Pascal for that matter. And considering how crucial that part of the story is, it will be something that has to be taken into account when casting the part of Roland.

I really like her design for Peni. Hopefully that does make it into the game eventually as Peni basically only has the VEN#M cosmetic as something different. Her 2 recolors aren't that great.

Since when was this an Xbox exclusive? If all they had to do was focus on one platform, Rockstar MIGHT be able to actually hit whatever they announce as the target release date. But ever since they started releasing on more than one platform at the same time, every single game has been delayed by 6 months or more.
