That went to Dragon Age
When I think of the D.I.C.E. Awards, I’ll remember montage guy, now and forever.
I wasn’t around to see if any similar unscripted hilarity took place at this year’s show, but I did catch that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor took home eight awards before losing out to Dragon Age: Inquisition for game of the year, and Destiny was lauded as the best action title of 2014. Huh.
