Here are you GOTY nominees, bros
>>694944825REBIRTH BROS SLAYING
Exactly what I predicted
>>694944825What a weak year for videogames
Astro Bot sweep
>>694944825East asia sweep.
2023 mogs so hard.
>>694944825>DLC>GOTY???
>>694945015seething tendie
>>694944825Is it bad that I haven't played any of those games?
>>694944825So its between Elden ring and Wukong pretty muchMonkeyKINGS our time is now
>>694944825>dlc and remake in
>>6949448252 PS5 exclusives>>694945090Yes because Astro Bot is GOTY
>>694944825Lmao no wonder they made that DLC announcement Elden sweep
>>694945090No, they're all shit
AAA western games?
>>694944825All good vidya but the robottrash and chinkshit shilled slop
Shadow of the Erdtree winning GOTY!
>Astro bot
>>694944825What is that trash balatro doing there? if you are addicted to it its one thing but it being a good game its another
>>694944825>DLC>GOTY>FF Reflop>Midkong>those first two literal who gamesgod i hope this industry burn i dont even care for Meta because its just fantasy persona but if it doesnt win its rigged
So can anyone explain why Silent Hill(or Infinite Wealth) was snubbed for DLC of literally just the same rollslop that shouldn't be even be eligible?
>>694945104Haha it's going to Astro Bot easily.
>>694944825>a shitty family kids game>a shitty card game>chink game>A DLC>A REMAKE>tumblr baitDire
>>694944825>Metaphor Already dead in the water. >BalatroLol>Black myth wukongToo esoteric for these clowns>Astro botGood platformer but not enough>Ff7 rebirthAfter it bombed? Lol no. >SoteGot crazy hype and delivered upon release. This will win goty once again much to the dismay of /v/.
Just a little reminder of what it looks like when GAMERS choose.
>>694944825TWO GOTYONE GAMETrust the plan
Elden Sweep incoming
>rebirth getting nominated in so many categoriesTranny age is more recognizable and probably sold more so im not sure why their trying to force rebirth so hard
>>694944825>no palword>no nine sols
>>694944982This. I guarantee this is the only game everyone on the award committee actually finished playing.
>>694944825Why is a DLC on the GOTY nominees? They really couldn't think of 6 real candidates? Holy shit this year has been an absolute shitshow.
>>694944825>console trash>mobage>chinkslop>dlc>homoflop>wokeshitGaming is really dead.
>>694945309>Too esoteric for these clownsNIHAO BUGNIGGER
>>694945346Square Enix bonus
>>694945346Because it is great, tranny
>>694945327Dave the Diver is better than any 2024 nominees.
>>694945272Metaphor was dogshit
>>694944825Balatro is unironically the best game on this list
>>694944825>balatro>a fucking card game could become GOTYlmaowhat a shit list.they really didn't want to put stellar blade in, huh.also, what about granblue relink? that was also pretty good.
>4 japanese games>1 chinese game>1 american (canadian) (indie) gameThe american video game industry really is utterly dead.
>>694944825Astrobot lmao...this is what happens when indies cant win GOTY...hell dogma 2 should have qualified
>>694944825>Metaphor RefantazioWins my vote just for having the cutest and hottest character of the year.
>>694944825>Loved Balatro when it came out>Becomes a huge hit>Think it's gonna get constant updates with new Jokers/Challenges added>Dev is a lazy piece of shit that just does crossovers and only puts 1 update out that nerfed a bunch of existent jokersHow hard is it to add new Jokers and keep the game fresh?over 50% of the ones in the game are already worthless for higher difficulties so what gives?
>>694945490This. "Fantasy persona" does not work here. People want an actual persona game not something pretending it's not when it is.
>>694945346Probably because it's the best game that came out this year and no amount of seething about brown background npcs changes that
>>694945346it's FF7! the world wanted an FF7 remake and they delivered, right? It should have sold a billion copies and no other games should be getting streamed online. People WANTED the game, so it should win awards.i fucking hate the nu-FF7 shit so bad man, I cannot believe the monkeypaw that was
as long as it's not rebirth or astrobot I'm good
>>694945602Troons falsflag about rebirt because it has tifa boobies
>>694945327>outstanding visual style>atomic hearthahahahahahaha god that game was dogshit.
>shit>shit>dunno>a fucking dlc>a demake>dunnoits easy to win goty when everything released in a year is shit
It's weird Erdtree is on there when it got pretty middling reviews
Pretty certain Metaphor wins it
>>694944825So this is a bad year of games ?
>>694945546>Anime slop winning yea Gokong got this in the bag
>>694945309>After it bombed? Lol no.If sales mattered, It takes Two wouldn't have won over RE Village and Deathloop in 2021.
>nothing for Nine Sols>nothing for Brothership>nothing for Slitterheadwhy even bother
>>694944825Was Stalker past the deadline I'm assuming?Kinda going to be rough competing in anything in 2025, against he who should not be named.
>>694945015>movie game>crpg>movie game>remake>mario>zelda expansion packno wonder BG3 won
>Bloodborneno GOTY>Dark Souls 3no GOTY>DLCGOTYThis is just insane
>>694944825Only two games I didn't regret paying for this year are Silent Hill 2 and Echoes of Wisdom
>>694945546The amount of seethe is going to cause when its wins will be amazingMetaphorbros cant stop winning
>>694945736this is pretty much the worst year ever for games
>>694945327>voting at allare you underage?
>>694945663how would it affect you?
>>694944825who seriously gives credit to this retarded award ?
>>694945015That’s so fucking bad compared to this year
>>694945410no this year has been amazing but the good games dont appeal to normalfags
>>694944825This is probably the first game awards where if 5 out of the 6 wins I’ll be happy. While I’m pulling for Rebirth to avenge its loss against The Last of Us 2, I want Metaphor to win too. But if Astrobot cucks both or if Wukong comes in with the steel chair I won’t even be mad. Asian developers just carrying this fucking industry on their ballsack. >no Stellar Blade Sacrifices had to me be made. Thank you beat Korea.
>>694944825Metaphor for me, really enjoyed the game except the last 30 days
>a game coded like this was nominated for GOTYTell me, anon, why haven't you worked on your GOTY contender indie game yet? You've got NO excuse.
>>694945790That is a good picMaybe AI isn't so bad after all..
>>694944825From all of those Balatro is the only game i actually like.
>>694945736Yes and that's a good thing.
>>694945602>>694945469i wouldnt know since i didnt play it like most people. i tried playing the first one but got bored around 5 hours in. Im sure the 70 people who played it love it but its a wasted nomination since the gameawards are a popularity vote, fucking balatro will get more votes
So now the entire planet knows Wokeguard reviews were all a lie.
>>694945327>RDR2>Labor of loveThey abandoned that game not even a year into it's release because it didn't make as much as GTA online lol
>>694945827we, so we can use it as shitpost ammunition >CAPTCHA: GYATT
I should strangle and kill you.Anybody agree?
>>694945827You are a moron
>>694944825I at least played all these. I didn't play much of Wukong or Balatro because they weren't really my kind of thing. If I were picking from the other four I'd give it to Metaphor.
>>694945889Its not AI you retarded jeet
>>694945104Wukong has zero chance of winning goty. It's ER or Astrobot.
>>694945490thats what i said but its still a new full game that tried something different so it should be GOTY
>>694944825>Astro BotWas a lot of fun but I don’t envision it as GOTY>BaltaroA card game nigga get the fuck outta here>Black Myth WukongWould have been better if it was just a boss rush game >Shadows of the ErdtreeDLC doesn’t count>FF VII RebirthUbislop open world crap>MetaphorWhat if we put Persona 5 through an AI generator?Shit I guess Astro Bot is GOTY.
>>694945858>if 5 out of the 6 wins I’ll be happyhello sweet baby shill
wukong, balatro and SotE dont deserve goty noms
Balatro? FUCKING BALATRO? REALLY?!?
>>694945893I had fun for 2 days but then regretted having paid for it after beating the game a couple of times
Bolatro > Metaphor > Rebirth > Wukong > Astro Bot
>>694945272>never heard of BALATROLegitimately nothing you say matter
>>694945934feel free to tell why you smug shit
>>694945957There's no way they give it to a DLC. It's going to be Astro Bot.
>>694945867i have zero interest in the advertisement process and using social media
>>694945826it would make me say "gaaaaaaay"
VEILGUARD'S ONLY NOMINATION IS A DEI CATEGORY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
>>694945015stay mad, stupid manchild
>BalatroBASED ITS GONNA WIN
easy WukongErlang is whooping my fucking ass i wanna cry
>>694944825My name is Louis Guiabern! I am the rightful king, he who will forge anew this unworthy country into a utopia!
>>694945309faggot
>>694944825MetaKINO bros, we are in
>>694945990This year was fucking dire.I also don't see anyone commenting on the Fighting game section having a fucking COLLECTION of DREAMCAST games as a nominee
>>694945327>starfield>innovative gameplayFUCKING LMAO
>>6949450152023 only had BG32024 has ER DLC, Black Myth Wukong and Metaphor RefantazioI think 2024 wins
>>694945961it's persona 5.1
>>694945327>Most Innovative Gameplay>Starfieldlol
>>694946101My fuarking king
Astro > Balatro > Elden Ring > Wukong > Metaphor > Final Fantasy
>>694945996Why are you surprised? It’s legitimately one of the most popular games in the world with people talking about it daily
so guys, why no nominees for Veilguard if it had so many 10/10 scores?
>>694944825>Astro BotThis game is a Mario Galaxy clone, with a lot of cheap sony references, perfect for a retarded journalist to vote for.>BalatroRoguelike game about poker cards, forces you to think, not journalist friendly. Won't get a single vote.>Black Myth WukongIrradiates poison to gaming journalists for multiple reasons, and it's not a DLC or a JRPG. Surprising it was able to get this far.>Elden bling dlcMore souls, journalist won't make it past the first boss they just watched a gameplay on youtube and praise it because everyone does. big chances to win.>FF VIIperfect game to win, because nobody played it so nobody knows about it.>MetaphorI seriously hope if this game wins it, which is probably the game with more chances, gaming industry just dies tomorrow.
>>694946126Stay strong KINGSGOTY Soon
>>694944825Astro Bot is gonna win, safest pick out of everything in that list, it would piss the least amount of people off, it isn't the "chud game", it isn't the "journo game", it isn't the "troon game".
>>694946029i dont give a fuck about card games and your response doesnt change that now fuck off you prob play gacha as well
>Elden Ring will be the first game to gave GOTYs from 2 yearsI COMMAND THEE, KNEEL!
Pack it up lads, Astro Turf is sweeping
>Troonguard snubbed>Coomer Blade snubbedBoth the Trannies and the porn addicted Grummzfags lost, good
>Astro BotSafe, easy, non-controversial pick.>BalatroLiteral who.>Black Myth: WukongA Chinese clone of a Japanese fan-favorite winning at an American award show won't go down well.>ErdtreeEven twitter normalfags are vocally uncomfortable about a DLC being picked.>FF7A JRPG isn't going to win game of the year at an American award show.>MetaphorA JRPG isn't going to win game of the year at an American award show.
>>694945913always has been,no credibility at all since like 2012
>>694946275
>>694946225>journalist won't make it past the first boss I mean all the ones voting for the committee got early access and beat it before we got access to it.
>>694946126i liked erdtree more but a dlc winning game of the year is retarded so il be voting for metaphor
>>694945015It was so obvious BG3 was going to win. This year we don’t know who is obviously is going to win.
>>694944825This shows how disconnected a lot of the people in the subreddit are. If you check Metacritic, Veilguard's critic average is not as good as any of the ones up there, except for Black Myth Wukong (which had points deducted from it from multiple outlets due to how bad the stability and performance was in the review build). But that game performed much better when released and was such a phenomenon that it puts it ahead.
>only one western gameHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
>>694946352easiest read of my life
>>694944825>>694945015>>694945327every singe one of these games sucks ass.
>>694945015I only played totkit was crap
My question is why does goty suddenly matter this year when it hasn't any other year?
>>694946101Step aside, dogged pretender
>>694944825Same deal as "It Takes Two" winning GOTY before, Astro Bot is taking the award for it managed to reach an audience completely disconnected from internet drama.
>>694944825Where's Concord? This is not my GOTY list
>>694945858The fuck do you have against Balatro?
why did people think Shartguard was gonna get nominated when Metaphor was universally praised and already locked up the do gooder politics vote?
>>694946101>>694946126>>694946229being this cringe is a requirement to play the game?
geoff would rather rope than give konami a goty nomination
>>694944825holy shit this was a shit year
Sony needs to shill PS5 Pro so I absolutely see them bribing the show to give it to FFVII so they can market it as "The definitive way of playing GOTY"
>>694945763It had that underdog factor going for it. A AAA game like ff7? kek no.
>>694946425The only good one is balatro
>>694946468>its too simple and fun nooooo
>>694946430is this one of those deals where you get confused because two different anons hold two different opinions on whether it matters and you assume they're the same person?
This shit... is so ass
>>694946275Just because you don’t care about it doesn’t mean shit, million of other people have and you acting like they don’t matter is the highest form of tism. Also I don’t play the game you stupid nigger but I have heard of it and seen how popular it is.
>>694946517Sounds like you hate fun anon
>>694946513Because there are no AAA westoid games nominated at all, it's honestly embarrassing to watch when western games utterly dominated the 7th generation and most of the 8th.
>>694944825>RebirthTrannies were behind that nomination and likely win.
Metaphor is the only game with sovl here, which means it won't win.
>>694946513People are super delusional in their online echo hate chambers.
>>694946572it's the best of the bunch but it wasn't GOTY material when I played it.
balatro is fucking great, i had a lot of fun playing it, but it shouldnt be a goty, its just a card game
>>694944825thegameawards.com>Error: Server Error>The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.>Please try again in 30 seconds.
>>694946513"People" didn't think that. Discord trannies raiding the board did. They were absolutely intolerable yesterday
>Elden Ring DLC wins GOTYFromSoftware/Bandai Namco better release now a TRUE GOTY version of Elden Ring for ALL consoles including the PS4 with the DLC Shadow of the Erdtree ON DISC and not only a redeem code
>>694944825>no Unicorn OverlordInto the trash it goes
AstroGODSHow we feeling?
>>694945961>that tried something differentIt's a persona 5 reskin that has worse dungeons. And somehow looks worse than a 2016 game. And I didn't even hate it, it just isn't trying anything new.
>>694946568>It had that underdog factor going for itIndies would win more GOTY on TGA if that was the case.
>>694944825>No NintendoOh no no no no no no
Wtf why couldn't Blood and Whine be nominated for GOTY but for some reason rollslop #19 DLC that used 98% of the same gameplay and assets can be?
>>694946430It only matters for shitposters
>>694945546>>694945790I hate that this cute loli is always drawn off-model.I hate normalfag artists.
2024 is a lot better than 2023 at least
>>694946759When's the last time nintendo even won anything at this shitshow?
I would honestly prefer they just give it to Concord
Okay, so which dev has the most money so they can buy the award?
>>694946759i mean they seriously released fucking nothing this year.Echoes of Wisdom being nominated for anything is a joke, and i didn't hate the game even
balatro getting nominated is fucking bizarrei liked it but just no. It's a complete one trick pony, every run feels exactly the same aside from the extremely rare times you actually get a meme seed that lets you do something unique
>>694946103Nigger.
I'm reading reddit and A LOT of people are extremely mad about Wukong and Elden Ring DLC being nominated
>>694946767New rule to let dlc in so guessing it’s going to win
>>694946780>loli
CONCORD SWEEP INCOMING
>>694945376>no palworldthats gay
>>694946739Pretty safe, only Elden Ring has any chance against it. Astro Bot is the absolute safest pick for GOTY. Metaphorfags and Rebirthfags live in their own bubble as usual.
>>694946865Elden Ring DLC shouldn't be nominated
I'm okay with any of them winning except FF7R. That one in particular just doesn't deserve it.
Replace Balatro with ZZZ and its good.
>rollslop AGAIN
>>694946781Yup I liked this year much more because of SM2 and helldiver 2 just for the killing bugs
>>694946739ASTRO BOT = GOTY
>>694945376>>694946897>palworldisn't fully out yet.
>>694946865Good
>>694946029i dont play card games
>>694945790damn, I can tell this is drawn by kyle just from the thumbnail, maybe because he studied actual art to make better porn, shame about sameface
Balatro is gonna win and the meltdown is going to make this board unusable for 48 hours.
>>694944825hope Metaphor or Wukong wins just to see some /v/ posters seething lmaounfortunately we all know that Astro Turf will win because Sony already paid for that.
>>694946430it's an american election year, everything is about politics now, your side vs my sidewu kong is a "based" game, so if it wins goty, then the right will have won as well
>>694944825You’re telling me there was no better game to fill ers dlc spot? Silent Hill? Stellar Blade? Some low key game somewhere? I liked the dlc but I don’t think it deserves to be there.
Imagine how BASED would be if Elden Ring got the goty award TWICE
>>694945015your pic proves the opposite lmao
If Wukong doesn't win Geoff will literally get doxxed and killed by chinks
>>694946942ZZZ is shit though, like every gacha game
>>694946886Yes, loli.Dumb normalfag.
a dlc deserves to be up there more than faggot remakes dobut it still shouldn't be there. Just give fromsoft that stupid award that they gave CP2077 last year
>7 fucking noms for astro turfMY god Geoff can you make it any more obvious you are getting paid?
I didn't play any of those games this year
>>694945104Lol no. Astrobot is obviously winning.
Hoping for Metaphor sweep, but its already a good thing Veilshart isnt nominated, so Im happy
So how hard will westoid devs seethe on X when they see none of their trash AAA games were nominated?Are they going to spout some racist garbage again about how Elden Ring has bad UI?
2024 is so shit. I look forward to seeing how bad next year is going to be.
>>694946759What even came out for them this year other than that Zelda game?
Knowing that 90% of the vote is from the critics, and looking at the scores that these people gave to each game. Astrobot is going to win.
>>694944825Astro Bot is clearly It Takes Two of the year, absolutely inoffensive and drama free, it is taking it while tribalists fight amongst themselves wondering why Metaphor and Rebirth didn't win.
why no concord or veilguard nominations? journos said they were amazing!
>>694944825I'm just glad Veilguard isn't included. idc who wins beyond that.
>>694947004I also don’t play them but I have heard of it before
>>694946586No there has just been a lot more posting about GOTY this year compared to others for no real reason
>>694945469Worst game I played all year.
>>694947127Deserved. Astro Bot is kino
>>694944825>Dlc and remakes contending for game of the year.AAA gaming is dead.
>No Infinite Wealth.I'd be ok with it if it weren't for the literal DLC taking up a spot.
>>694944825So Rebirth wins right? I can't foresee a future where journos vote for Wukong
The Snoy bribery for Astro turfed is still ongoing?
>>694944825ahahahaI expected Black Myth but I thought they balance it out by also including Degen AgeIt's really just a contest between Astro Bot, FF VII and Metaphor and Metaphor will win mark my words
>>694945546>for having the cutest and hottest character of the year. CHAD!
>>694947193nothing much, really.they are still prepping for next year's switch 2 reveal
bakerybros...
>>694947197It Takes Two was nowhere near the highest rated game of its year, Astro Bot is gonna win because it is a safe pick, a large crowd pleaser.
>>694946652I dont care about what millions of other people do, millions of people play COD every year, they simp for sluts on OF etc. Why should MILLIONS of people playing a card game make me suddenly think its good, its a fuckig card game.
>>694947013I’m thinking elden ring will win, they make a new rule just to add dlc for it
>Multiversus getting nominated for best Fighting Game AGAIN>Rivals 2 is not here
Balatro is the PERFECT goty. If you want something actually inspiring you should give GOTY to the solo dev that made a labor of love and beat all odds to create something fun and recognizable to a large group of people.They will hand it to rebirth to throw Final Fantasy fags a bone tho
>>694946886retarded tourist.
>Astrocucks really think their poor man's Mario clone is going to winYou shilled your game for weeks on end and everyone has already forgotten it exists.
>>694947339againno granblue relink?what is going on?
>>694944825>Literal, unironic, honest to god DLC nominated for GOTYHoly shit this industry is done for
>>694947346And that’s why you have the tism you fucking retard, you lack understanding
>>694946029It's a literal facebook tier mom game. Get the fuck out you goddamn loon.
Eldrn Ring dlc is a good nomination and I say this as someone who didn't like the game, better to have a DLC nominated than some TRANNY pandering trash like that TROONguard trash >>694947151You mentally ill TROONS were saying earlier in the year that this year is gonna be fucking stacked, it's hilarious seeing you cope so much now
>>694944825BALATRO SWEEP BABY WOOOOOOOO
These are the only 2 I played. Which other ones should I play?
i talk to a bunch of weebs regularly and even i dont hear shit about metaphor which honestly tells me a lot.
>>694946101Metaphor has no shot at GOTY. I'm rooting for it in the soundtrack category but that's about it.
>>694944825>Implying it's not already decidedElden Sweep like it's '22
>>694945015>every game gets mogged by fucking Balatrolmao
>>694947310veilshart was never gonna be up therepeople massively overstated how "glowing" the reviews were, it wasn't even close to any of the other nominees. Even Balatro has a 90 on metacritic
the pure seething caused by the balatro and sote nominations makes me want them to sweep
>>694947283Nope, Astro Bot has it locked. Rebirth is going to win specific awards, not GOTY, and Wukong is only nominated to escape all the pre-emptive bitching "the chuds" were spreading on Xitter that TGA would snub Wukong due the corrupt jurors having IGN as a member of its board, they who made a hit piece against Game Science to claim they are sexist.
>>694947441looks like the shills weren't enough to make it be relevant lmao
>>694947490Black myth and Metaphor. the other 2 are trash Stellar Blade or Warhammer deserve to be in instead of Balantro.
>>694947341>large crowd pleaser >astrobotPick none.
>>694947438It got nominated for the most awards I think. I havent played it myself so cant speak to its quality.
>>694944825Who even owns a PS5 except for Fifa playing normalfags and movie game loving journalists? I don't know a single person between the age of 25-35 among my peers who doesn't just play on PC and Nintendo consoles. Like I'm sure I'm in a bit of a bubble but the fact that a third of these games are PS5 exclusives when they might as well not even exist to me seems strange.
Tendies lostshitch has no games, palworld exposed the shitch and the shitch poo is DOA
>>694947456no your just a low taste retard that thinks because lots of people do thing its gotta be good
>>694947502Only trainys play anime games so they can self insert into the girls.
>>694947502Weebs as in Gaming otakus, or weebs as in "DBZ is my favorite anime" otakus?
>>694945015>Tendieslop and Troon Bear 3Astro Bot sweeps
>>694947490None
>>694947553JRPGfags are threatened by actual good games that have done well. Afraid of real competition
>>694947461Yea and moms tell other moms and it ends up making millions because mom gaming is alot of money. That’s why stuff like candy crush makes bank. You’re clearly upset for some reason
>>694946305Oh shit, I wonder what gumz is saying about all this.
>>694947643the former
If my post ends in a 7 then FF7 Rebirth wins.
>>694947490with astro bot and balatro you will have fun for 16-20h. not bad thing is just simple experiencewu-re fantazio are bit longer but you can have great time
Metacucks really live in a bubble.
Metaphor was such a dissapointment, just copy persona but make some boring mech your persona instead and you can switch even if half of them are garbage. Also nice enemy variety, love fighting skeletons and plants from start to finish!
>>694946129Fighting games are so irrelevant that they always include bottom of the barrel stuff to fill the nominee list.This happens every year.
>>694947583>Stellar Blade or WarhammerBoth are boring games that are mechanically straight out of 2014. Balatro is actually unique, and I think it's a good wildcard nom
Back in my day Shadow of the Erdtree would be considered an "Expansion Pack" and absolutely be eligible for awards
>>694947490balatro is fun, and im waiting till Christmas for buying astrobot, a fun 3d platformeri cant tell about the rest
>>694947634Again I don’t even play the game you fucking sperg, maybe if you weren’t so busy not taking your meds you would see that from the replies.
>>694947729Well there you goFF7fags can thank this guy
i really can't recall that many games that came out this year, it was a pretty shit year
From a shitposting perspective I want the normie ring DLC to win, but from an actual "this game is good perspective" the normie ring DLC is the worst game I played this year hands down
>>694947729guess your number is reserved for the FF9Remake now
>>694947550The funniest part is it didn't even get nominated for best RPG, what an absolute embarrassment for a company like Bioware that basically dominated the genre for most of the 00s.
>>694947778Trash opinion
>>694947773To be fair the only reason P5 had variety is because it copy pasted existing demons from SMT for the past 20 years.
How the fuck can DLC be nominated for GOTY?
>>694947786Don't bother. The name "DLC" has been run through the mud so much that people have an allergic reaction it. Which isn't their fault to be fair but people can't seem to make a distinction between DLC and DLC these days.
>>694946524Ahhh you know that makes sense.
>>694945342>wins goty twicewould be hilarious and it has my vote. shame the chinks will crash the servers and mass vote wukong
>>694947502most weebs nowadays play jrpgs on Switch so no wonder they didn't talked about it. maybe in a year or two.
balatro was fun for about 15 hours but fuck me if that dev thinks i'm gonna do all the decks
damn, imagine what this thread could look like if people here actually played video games.
>>694947765Metaphorfags AND Rebirthfags live in a bubble, zero chance any of the two win GOTY, they are winning specific RPG and Narrative awards at most.
>>694947893Name a better DLC
>DLC DLC DLC DLCMindrotted zoomers have no idea what an expansion pack is
people forget blood and wine did this like a decade ago
>>694947893because every other game sucked this year.they literally have nothing else to nominate
This might just be the worst year in videogames
>>694947809>hasnt even played it but defending it>tells me i have tismgg
>wish would winbalatro>actual real resultelden ring just to watch people seethe>if i really cared about this shitmetaphor
What do you guys think, is Elden Ring winning for sure or is it gonna be a Tears of the Kingdom situation where it loses out to something else?
>>694947893Enough people literally had fun with it and enjoyed it for a lot longer than most games on this list. The fact that Final Fantasy VII has to compete with DLC and a card game because the year is so hilariously thin is embarrassing, especially if it doesnt win
>>694945546>woke, boring jrpg about using the power of DEI to fight evil white peopleYou might be right. This is exactly the kind of game that would win
>>694945562They are working on a big update no?Agreed that the dev is fucking lazy though, it should have been out for months at this pointYou do need mods to keep things fresh after 200 hours
Out of the 10 most nominated games at The Game Awards...PS5 has 10/10PC has 8/10Xbox has 7/10Nintendo has 1/10 (LOL)What the fuck is going on over at Nintendo?
>>694947893What else is there for the game of the year award? Every other AAA release was a complete flop.
>>694947893Because this year was ass and geoff wants to kiss ass after the bill clinton shit
>>694947969>expansion packis that the thing you boomers used to attach to your consoles?
>>694944825SotE should win for the absolute seethe, but it will most likely be Wukong.
Astro Bot is winning GOTY, retards still wondering to this day why It Takes Two won their GOTY back then.
>>694948050DEI checks cleared boys
>>694948032everyone knew BG3 was gonna win, it's not the same situation.
>>694947932honestly ive only actually seen 2 people talk about it. one of them was an autist atlas shill and the other said it just was very fun to play
>>694947553its a fucking card game. its insane to give goty to some stupid shit like that.
>>694944825gonna be balatro/astrobot/troonazio to 'ownthechuds'
>>694947972Because GOTY didnt matter back then, because FFVII wasnt involved. You have people who used to post on gamefaqs like 20 years ago here and they NEED their darling to finally have a win!
>TTYD not nominated for a single catagoreyKind of depressing.
>>694948032tears of the kingdom wasn't even second place
>>694948181that's how bad this year was, lmao
>>694944825Veilguardbros?
This guy really just looked Dragons Dogma and Yakuza fans right in the eye sockets and told them that fucking Wukong and a DLC are better than their games.. I'm fucking weak bros
>>694947969Expansions shouldn't be nominated either, same for remakes and remasters
>>694945284>Silent Hill(or Infinite Wealth)Both are mediocre but still infinitely more qualified for an award than an asset-recycling expansion pack that isn’t even standalone.Just imagine awarding Diablo Hellfire or Half-Life Blue Shift GOTY. How much is Bandai paying Geoff?
>>694944825ELDEN RING IS TWO YEARS OLD
>WukongThis game was literally forgotten in less than a week
To win GOTY your game needs to Not be a remakeHave nice graphicsBe free of any controversyPlayable by normiesTherefore the only game on that list capable of winning GOTY is the DLC.
>>694948191ive seen more metaphor shills complaining than anything which is weird because i never saw discussion on social media about this game before this "controversy" started
if remake garbage can be nominated every goddamn year then there is 0 reason for people to be crying about 1 dlc getting up there
>>694948181No it isnt. Especially if it is a more fun and successful game than the other games on the list, granted it is not more successful than Wukong. I know a handful of people that would call Balatro their goty because there hasnt been fucking dick all this year. My personal GOTY was UFO 50 but there is no way it would win any awards. Too weird, nobody is going to play all 50 games. Its very hit and miss, and for a specific demographic. Anyone can boot up Balatro on a plane and probably have a bit of joy
>>694944825>balatro instead of unicorn overlord>anal bot instead of stellar blade>metaphor instead of smtv:vengeance or granblue relinkshit flop awards
>>694948181Youngfags these days I swear. 52 pickup was GOTY in 1820 Balatro being GOTY now isn't that different.
Inscryption won a bunch of awards too besides being "just a card game" don't be so dismissive
Balatrofags are aware that the game was only nominated to pretend that it's not a AAA wankfest, right?
>>694944825Not like I'm complaining, but how is DAV not there? I thought the game awards was some lefitst circle jerk determined by a panel of journos? This nominees makes it look like a legitimate award show
>>694947969Expansion pack can be standard alone games, dlc arent dumb boomer.
>>694948254and that's right, Wukong is better than Dragon's "blatant disguised remake" Dogma and e-celeb Yakuza.
>>694944825I do love Geoff's unashamedly Sony awards. They always get guaranteed at least one spot each year, even for mid games.
Hopefully Metaphor loses so Fatlus fags rope themselves.
>>694948254Infinite Wealth was an embarrassing story and Dragon's Dogma 2 was a disappointment, im ok with this. I wish SotE wasnt nominated though, that one is actual dogshit and I have no idea how it got a 95 or whatever
>>694944825As long as metaflop doesnt win, it will be fineTremendously overhyped game
>>694947981>because every other game sucked this year.>they literally have nothing else to nominateYakuza Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Silent Hill both came out and were pretty good. There is zero reason why both are not nominated and was snubbed for Elden Ring DLC. The DLC is only there because Fromsoft and their Rollslop are at an all time high for worship because they're le HARD games that are considered gaming rights of passage for casuals.
How is it 2024 and retards still cant get proper server capacity for shit like this?
>>694948464Astro Bot is great
>>694948394And yet every great game dev recognizes it's better than your generic shit AAAslop
>>694948402because metaphor already slurped up the journofag vote and reviewed MUCH better as we've been telling you for weeks
>>694947778Both Wukong and Elden Ring are gameplay from 2009
>>694948219nintendo didn't bought the ad.
>>694948478Fatlus fan here, why would I give two fucks whether metaphor wins GOTY? lmao
>>694945015kek, kys. the real GOTY of 2023 wasn't even nominated. the real GOTY of 2024 wasn't nominated either, though I will accept Metaphor.
lol I was just thinking last night about how they were probably gonna shove rebirth and astro bot in there to make it appear as though this year wasn't a disaster for playstation
>>694944825I guess i have to ask the million dollar question, WTF is Balatro?
>>694948337Metaphor shills are also a part of it, because Atlusfags feel like they finally need a win too despite being on the up and up. Metaphor took 8 years to make they deserve it!!!
>1 roguelike deck-builder, very RNG heavy game with little skill involved>4 RPGs, i.e the most unbelievably boring genre ever, with two of them being Souls games, which are incredibly overdone at this point>and a mascot platformer that doesn't do anything special whatsoeverMan, what a godawful year for gaming. Shadow of the Ninja Reborn and Tekken 8 were the only genuinely good games I played this year. Everything else just seems incredibly unappealing.
>>694947009What's it like? I've been waiting for the next sale on PlayStation.
>>694948512Infinite Wealth is too similar to Metaphor/FF7 and SH2 is just another remake
>>694948537I agree I don't think they are good either
>>694948537all games are gameplay from 2006
>>694945015that's all shit to
>>694948537>Balatro as the wildcard nomination eyyyyy
Bro fuckkkk off with these choices. I don't want to vote for any of them
>>694944825Tendies status?
>>694948394Yes, I love stirring the pot. It wont win, but its funny.
>>694948254dragon's dogma is just a remake so it can fuck right off
>>694948254he actually laughed and said "hey I didn't vote this shit" when he revealed the goty nominees
>>694948354Souls games might as well be considered remakes as-well seeing as how every game is the same.
>>694948537You say that likes it’s a bad thing…
>>694944825>Palworld>the best selling indie game of the year>one of the best selling indie games of all time>no mention anywhere in the game awardsLike, is it an "it's not fully out yet" thing?
>>694948696
Why isn't satisfactory nominated anywhere?
>>694948694then don't vote in the first place.
>>694948696I'm not even a tendie but they are at the end of a console life cycle so it's no surprise that they have nothing good out. They have to bank it all for a hardware release
>>694948556this. i'm an atlusGOD but i was hoping for veilguard to win for comedic purposes and to further prove how disconnected games media is from real players. sure i want metaphor to win, but i don't really give a shit whatsoeveryi's game is the real 2024 GOTY anyway
>>694944825>Game of the Year>one of them isn't a gameBravo Geoff
>>694948696No games.
>>694945479Based such a fun 'eck game
>>694948609> very RNG heavy game with little skill involvedLMFAO, fightfags are so delusional.
Another year, another brought Sony slot. Yawn.Astrobot wouldn't even be on the list if they managed to get anything else out this year.
>>694944825This list is so bad, I'm rooting for Balatro and metaphor to win out of pure spite
>>694944825How can they come up with such a mid list when this year was fucking stackedHelldiversSpace Marine 2ElinDQ3 remakeSilent hill 2Granblue RelinkDD2 dissapointed people but its a solid game on its ownMOTHER FUCKING DRAGONBALL SPARKLING ZERO AHHHHlike come on this shit is so rigged
>>694944825i don't like metaphor but i hope it wins so it once again proves that turn based games are still sellable
>>694948803yeah balatro is just a skinnerbox
>>694948748Yeah EA games don't get a nomination. Ever it seems. They're neither eligible on launch or full release.
>>694948786yi didn't deserve this, bros
>>694948859Clearly you didnt play itAstro Bot is vidya soul in its purest form
>>694948694Prince of Persia actually was really good with accessibility. It's a rare game that I and my son can both play and both enjoy without either me getting bored or him getting frustrated.
next year will be worse
>>694948865BG3 already did that.
>>694948181yeah and? Card games have always been popular and have arguably become even more so in recent years with the rise of TCGs and LCGs.Balatro made huge waves on the indie scene when it came out at the start of the year with people already calling it the best indie in yearsThe fact that it still sees a ton of play to this day proves why it's a GOTY contender
>astroturfed bot
>>694948778But they had apparently good things out last year and still lost though. Seems like most people don't find Nintendo games to be all that great outside from being fun little games to play with the family.
Platformer ... with 0 challenge ... just wants to be cute>GOTYWestoidkeks have no shame
>>694948694Veilguard will probably win that one singular fake and made up category for trannies. The fact that it's not nominated for RPG is mortifying
>>694948967two nails makes the coffin close tighter
>>694948254i liked DD2 but Wukong, Erdtree and Metaphor all mog it into oblivion.Other 2024 games that are also much better than DD2: Nine Sols, SMT V V, P3R, Granblue Relink, Romancing Saga 2
>>694945015>said the tendie calmly, as he furiously shat his pants
>>694948920Please it's just another mario 3d game but with WOW REFERENCES WOW REMEMBER THIS WOW LOOK LOOK AT THIS AND CLAP
>>694948537and balatro and metaphor and final fantasy
>>694948710He ABSOLUTELY got Wukong there to please Chinese sponsors and bridge future deals, the jurors would never have gotten Wukong there, it is the unofficial chud game due the shitstorm that was the debacle over IGN's Game Science hit piece article.Geoff had the official TGA account to congratulate Wukong for selling 11 million and 20 million copies.
>>694944825>Helldivers not even getting nominated
>I can't believe it's not Mario©>Solitaire 2>Social Credit Simulator>Literal DLC>FFVII Remake part 3 of 10>I can't believe it's not Persona©
>>694946729It only got nominated for best strategy game, if it doesn't win I'll be pissed. Should have at least have gotten a best art direction nomination.
>>694948859Astro bot replaced the usual Nintendo slop, that goes to show how miserable Nintendo has been.
>>694944825>game of the year>game that released 2 yearsGeoff is a fucking joke
>>694944825Jeez, this year is even worse than 2021
>>694949098>Solitaire 2based
Barring Wukong, I've spent a good deal of time playing and beating (except metaphor) all of the GOTY nominees. That said, it seems that the clear head and shoulders winner above the rest is UFO 50
metaphor winning would be kind of hilarious just to have turn based games win 2 years in a row i hate that style of jrpg tho so i probably won't vote for it
>>694945015Tendie cope lmaooo
no community's choice this year?
>>694948986>Metasurfed Re-surfedfix'd
>>694948219TTYD is an overrated literal tranny game.I'm glad it flopped.
>>694944825>No Space Marine II but literal who card fucking game and shitty Sekiro clone shilled by chinks gets on the listthis is literally the most embarrassing nominee list i have ever seen from TGA so far, Space Marine II deserved at least the nomination if nothing else but i guess since the devs are russian that wouldn't fly.
>Best Score & Music>Astro Bot>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth>Metaphor: ReFantazio>Silent Hill 2>Stellar BladePost some examples
tendies really live rent free on /v/tards mind lmao
>>694949256>Space Marines
>>694949163shh, game journos don't know it exists so how could they vote for it?
>>694949012It's okay when Mario Wonder was nominated though...
>>694944825>DLC allowed>no factorio Space Age????????
>>694944825Shit list for a shit year
>>694948556Better buy that rope now.
>>694947339the west has fallen
>>694949092sorry fag nobody cares about your multiplayerslop
>>694949303I hate Rebirth but the music is definitely very good, as it should be for a final fantasy title they just spiced up an existing soundtrack that is already good tho
Embarrassing year for tendies overall
>>694945858No need to avenge anything; TLOU 2 was better than Remake, but Rebirth is better than both (and this year’s competition). It deserves to win on its own terms.
>I've not played Balatro>therefore it can't be good
>>694944825>4/6 japanese games>1 chink game>1 westacuck indieshitI kneel...
>>694944825>best game direction>ue5 copypasted asset chinkslop
>>694949358Its nominated for Best Indie, but Balatro will probably get that as consolation for not getting GOTY
last year was a lot better even tho everyone knew it was gonna be bg3winslolat least it was funny watching aonuma get mad about it
>>694948786Wukon wonChina wonTainwan numba two
>>694949482Yes
>>694944825Astrobot? More like Astroturfed.
>tendies really live rent free on /v/tards mind lmao
>>694949256Space marine and WH40k is way to manly to get in yet a few more female custodes and realizing chaos really isnt that bad and humans were being bigots and it might win something
>>694949482>THERE IS NO WAY A VARIETY OF GAMES COULD NOT WIN GOTY IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE SOME AAA WITH SOME PRETENSE OF "PUSHING THE MEDIUM FORWARD"
>>694944825the absolute state of videogames
Why does anybody even care?
>>694944825we're like 5 years into """goty""" having zero games that i have any interest in playingwhat the fuck happened to vidya
>>694949482>Balatro isn't good>therefore I've not played itftfy
>>694948394And it's still more fun than any other game there, keep seething.
>>694945015>replies mentioning nintendo out of nowhereHmm...?
>>694949551i didn't play it, but it looked legit good.if i had a ps5 i would have played it
>>694949539i loved wukong too so that would be totally fine. infact i think i want it to win more than metaphor just because it makes half of /v/ and every game journo seethe hard as fuck
my vote card is broken
>>694949551Not even close to Metaphor dominating the waves.
>>694944825>DLC>Indie game>China game>Remake>Sony slopman
>>694948601video poker
Definitely an apples to oranges comp and I really despise fromsoft but I'm amazed people are mad at Erdtree getting in while Elden Ring won 2022 and not the fact that the favorite to win the show this year already won the GOTY 1997 and "greatest game of all time" awards for years, and proceeded to have it's first part remake nominated in 2020. FF7 could still win 3 ultimate GOTY awards in 3 different years and no one is covering this.
>>694947729>*flushing sounds*
>>694946568you mean the "FUCK THE OSCARS" geoff meme factor
I saved you the timeThe only questionable category is action games because its all chud games and controversial picks>Helldivers 2, Black Myth, Stellar Blade, Space Marine 2, CoD6
>>694949629what does you personally having dogshit taste have to do with the game awards? 4 great games got nominated. i didn't play the snoy shit.
>>694944825Balatro getting nominated is actually pretty crazy, solo dev indie game
>>694945996It's good
>>694949092i have 150 hours in it. it doesnt deserve it after the dogshit updates ands months it took to make the game worth playing again
>>694949450>>694949450>Embarrassing year for tendies overallThe switch 2 got delayed retard, what do you expect? Did you want them to dump a bunch of switch 2 games on the switch and then launch the switch 2 next year with nothing?
The real winners are the 20 people that actually played this. It's the real game of the year.
>>694944825I haven't posted a single one of these
Veilguardxisters...
>>694947778>uniqueIts poker.
Why is a DLC competing for a game award?
The voice acting award is really shit. Barret from FF7 should have be the person from that game nominated.
>>694949482>its a card game>im not gonna play italmost right
>>694949748I think they'll give it to monke game to stop the chinks from assassinating Geoff
>>694949639>I love being used as a toolIndiefans everyone
>>694949556>proves his point
>>694945015that was a pretty good list minus the remake and the 2020 game, but not bad2024 is still a better year altho
This year really shows how much Nintendo has been carrying the industry lately. Take them out and you're left with 1 or 2 great games and some slop.
>>694944825... so no Concord?
>>694949840The whole award show is obviously biased and that award is one of the worst ones. There's a quota for females.
- Played Balatro which is uhhh okay, I dunno. No story, not motivated to go beyond the first couple levels.- Wukong isn't an adaptation of the book and runs like dogshit, returned it same night it released.- didn't play the rest, look bad
>>694949884LOLLMAO EVEN FORTY THOUSAND KEKS
>>694945015I count 5 shit games that had no business even getting nominated.
>>694949640They got two games there so, uh…
>>694944957An expansion pack is a nominee...
The amount of seethe balatro is causing just because final fantasy fans and metaphor fans see it as a legitimate threat for some reason is hilarious
>>694949815I think if I slap 5 Diamond Aces on a poker table in Vegas and proudly declare they need to drain their vault too because I also have 4 jokers in a frankly sick combo they'll probably kick me out?
Balatro already won by just being there as a Nominee.The devs expected to sell like 100 copies from their jank poker game when they released it.
>>694949748i 100% guarantee geoff will pull bullshit with the indie awards again even tho Balatro is nominated for fucking gotyit will win best debut but then best indie will go to probably that Annapurna published one that nobody has ever heard of. That's how that award works

REBIRTH CHADS WE FUCKING WON!!!!!
Has there ever been a game of the year candidate as unsuccessful as Astro bot? It has only sold 1.5 million, even successful indie games mog that.
>>694947441I've seen GBF in one category I think it was either music or action adventure too anime>>694947550Black Myth got like 80s ratings. From a critics standpoint, it's only there because you can't ignore record breaking sales and china.
>>694948080Ninyendo belongs in a museum. Oh wait-
>>694949873You complain about being a tool by complaining about a non industry standard indie game, that isn't about trying to make video games a "serious medium", getting recognized at GOTY material. Lmao, I hope it wins that category alone just to see you squirm and seethe.>DUHH IT'S JUST A CARD GAMEAnd? Not enough melodrama narrative for you so it doesn't count as a good game?
>>694949884your shit rehash game got third place last year tendie
>>694944825Eldengods won!!!!!!!BEST GAME EVERRRRAAA AWARD
>>694945346What the other anon said but with less vitriol. Its FF fucking 7, man, for it to not be in the Game Awards would be the most embarassing thing in the world while Sega probably spent less money on Infinite Wealth, Reload and Metaphor combined and were more popular and got more money each.
>>694946316>A JRPG isn't going to win game of the year at an American award show.This isn't the 00s anymore anon
>>694950090Alan Wake 2
What did I say in the last thread.Wukong gets a special participation trophy and 7R has to be included at the least due to ESG/DEI investment money.Expect to be disappointed.
>>694944825>Zero woke games>Humiliation ritual platformer game as the sony representative instead of any of the artsy fartsy story gamesThat's pretty good.
>Helldivers 2 is nominated for Best Community Support.Didn't it nearly kill itself with it's horrible community support? Lmao the Sony backing strikes again

You know the game awards are rigged when...There is no mention of Crypt Custodian in any of the indie categories.Shameful and disgusting behavior!>>694944825
>>694950090Why the fuck do you think financial success matters for these awards?
>>694949923Barrets voice actor is BLACK. That should have be enough of a diversity opit of whatever the fuck to let them to vote him
>>694950094yeah wukong is the outlier there but they could not get away with not nominating it, Geoff needs there to be at least 10 tencent trailers in his shows in order for them to break even
>shazamkeks on suicide watch if elden ring wins AGAIN
>>694950090>unsuccessfulBudget relative to sales, and the people who played it seemed to like it bro. Pretty sure Rebirth was less successful than Astrobot
any resetera melty yet now that failguard isn't even nominated?
Anyone else notice Geoff called it " War Haymer Forty Thousand"?
>>694950063I am not poor, I just love my 'eck and if your game isn't optimized for it you are my enemy.

>>694949748Wukong will probably win action game.
>>694950243it isn't about race, it's about sex. Go look at this category through the years and you will notice there is always at least one woman nominee even though many times it isn't deserved, like last year.
>>694950173I looked it up to prove you wrong and holy fuck that game only sold 1.3 million. What an embarrassing example of shilling. From all the talk I heard about it I would have predicted at least 8 million.

>>694950094>record breaking sales>and chinaYou mean record breaking free keys in China, and being sold for 12USD in china. It's done nothing noteworthy or financially viable in reality.
>>694946369Your vote literally doesn't matter
>>694950016Games with no story or characters are worthless and pointless. Its just some dumb card game for streamers.
>>694950073That's Metaphor Re:Fantazio, Astro Bot got journos, random casuals AND so-called chuds talking good things about it. You live in a bubble like Metaphorfags and Rebirthfags usually do if you really Astro Bot was an astroturfed game.
>>694947490Balatro and Metaphor since I think you can emulate both, give both about 10 hours. If you can try Astro Bot
>>694948181>its a fucking card game.>noooo it's just a fucking type of game that humans have been playing and innovating for centuries if not millennia!!! It can't be good because... it just can't
>>694950285Retardera is backing rebirth lol lest you forget "BUY TWO COPIES OF THE GAME TO SHOW IT WASNT A FLOP"
>>694950221Trying too hard Kyle, your game is SHIT!
Voting for Elden Ring because it would be funny if it won twice like Trump.
>>694950221Good taste. Crypt Custodian is a great name.Those shitty awards were always popularity contests instead of actual quality, unfortunately.
>>694950143>your shit rehash game got third place last year tendieNintendo made up 2 of the 6 goty nominees last year. Whether you think they were the best or not, they clearly elevated the year. With them putting out jack shit this year while waiting for the switch 2 it has definitely hurt the year significantly.
They will introduce a new award just for eldenpeak"THE BEST GAME/ART EVER MADE IN HUMAN HISTORY AWARD "
>>694950361No nigger, that 1.3 million estimate is from this year. By the time TGA happened last year it wasn't even at 800k. Sales are irrelevant and rightfully so, imagine wanting this to be a sales jerk off show, you're completely retarded.
UFO50>Balatro>EDF6>Helldivers>Price of Persia>didn't play any other new games
>>694944825It's got to be Metaphor.
I'm glad Balatro is in because its an actual game. RPGs where you press one button to strategize aren't games. Cinematic experiences with long drawn naratives aren't games. Platformers with linear progression to a set end goal are barely games. Balatro deserves it.
Look I dont have a problem with Astro bot. Its fine. But why is it shilled so hard? Like its not bad or anything but its not like some super great game or anything. It just seems so bizzare why people are so obsessed with praising it so hard.
granbluesisters...
>>694950487it was widely agreed that mario had no business being there at all and just was bc Geoff insists on having 6 slots no matter fucking whatget over yourself
>>694950376>Games with no story or characters are worthless and pointlesskek seetheing jrpg fanboy. The most fun JRPG this year didnt even have a super deep story or super deep characters
>>694950225>Why the fuck do you think financial success matters for these awards?I don't think financial success should be the main factor, obviously CoD and Fifa are not the best games, but it should be *A* factor. Part of a game being great is that it should actually appeal to people, and if a game only sold 1.5 million with relentless marketing then it obviously didn't do that.
>>694950090It Takes Two barely sold when it won GOTY, only now years later that it sold over 5 million based on that accolade, heavy discounts and word of mouth.
>>694950542Balatro is essentially a movie tier game though
>>694947339>All Japaneseits over
>>694944825Oh this is pathetic lineup. Fucking DLC of a game that came two years ago??? Was this year really that bad?
>>694950221might check it out so
>>694944825>Cody didn't get a best performance nomination>even though it's easily THE best this yearJesus fuck, they bent themselves over backwards last year just to get the most mediocre BG3 performances in, they really seethe at Final Fantasy
>>694950084...won RPG of the year!!!
>>694950694yes
Financial success isnt a factor when it comes to these awards which is why Final Fantasy VII and Metaphor are on the list to begin with despite bloated budgets and development time
>>694950620>I don't think financial success should be the main factor,It shouldn't be a factor at all, and your complaints betray your supposed claim because you keep mentioning it like it matters when it obviously doesn't.
>>694948181Balatro is unironically good
>>694950732I think Metaphor wins RPG of the year purely because recency bias.
>>694950542Balatro is essentially those 90's edutainment games on counting with clinically addictive gambling visuals

>>694949482I played it, it's not good, it's just another roguelite with cards, this year we got at least 2 other games about exact same thing.
>Astro Bot>7 nominationsOh nooooo
>>694944825>A dlc>No infinite wealth Garbage
>>694950809>hades 2 wokefest snubbedbased. im happy and smiling again>DRDRkek. how.
i'm as fromfag as it gets but it blew my mind when I saw that SOTE has a 94i liked it but what the heck did the reviewers play where they thought it was THAT good? It had some really good bosses but I thought the map was a big step down compared to the base game
>>694950589wtf is even the point of playing a game with no story? its just a waste of time.
>>694950843It has pretty women.Wokeoids would never let that happen.
>>694949017It probably won’t and it will be hilarious.
>>694950918I think Astro Bot wins a few but not GOTY. Take out the IP nostalgia bait and its not as notable.
>>694950810>Alan Wake 2Barely marketed when it came out, game awards happen and suddenly everyone knows what it is.
>>694950810Because the game isn't on steam and only really played it on consoles. It also didn't win GotY so you didn't disprove him.Yes, GOTY boosts sales.
>>694944825I'm gonna be a contrarian faggot and say that these are all fair choices.
>an expansion dlc gets goty nominate>phantom liberty did notSlow year for games innit.
>>694950810>GOTY is about boosting salesoh no wonder why final fantasy cultists are so invested in winning it now. That makes sense
>>694950960>the map was a big step downthe DLC map had 10x less dead air then the main game map
>>694950976GAMEPLAY BABY you wouldnt get it
People who like card games are probably the same people who like boring shit like MMOs and GAAS games.
>>694951046Wukong has no business being on there. It's worse in terms of all scores than FFXVI, and we were collectively clowning XVI last year
>>694951046Sorry, already said that.
>>694951080Compared to all of these it's at least a fully featured AAA game among quite literally just one other.
Do you think Kingdom Come Deliverance II will get into the nominee list next year? KCD1 didn't get in because of journo seethe and no nigger tax, i wonder if its gonna be a repeat of the same situation kek
>>694951172It's only there to appease chinks because they would legitimately have a meltdown if it didn't get nominated. I don't think people are really denying this.
>>694950785I have autistic brain or something as addictive gambling shit just makes me bored and immediately lose interest in any game that has that sort of thing like that game I forget name if from last year with the castlevania vibe.
>>694950747Im shocked Helldivers 2 wasn't a nominee. Holy shit Sony really did fuck that one up
>>694950976Because the game itself is actually fun? Because simple stories can still be effective? One of the most popular games of all time has 0 story what so ever and appeals to demographics of ALL ages all backgrounds and all creeds. Because it is just that good. Balatro does not hold a candle to tetris, but you dont need a story to succeed.Not to mention Rebirth is a story that was already told but in a much worse manner than the original lol by your logic a worse story would take away a lot from a game that is fun
Rise of the ronin wonLes Fucking goooo
I still don't get HOW It takes Two actually won anything. The game is fine sure but the characters are downright horrible. Who just rips up a stuffed elephant to make their kid cry just to save themselves? Even in the end they don't get redeemed. they just salvage THEIR love life with each other, their kid is still abused and suffering. what the fuck kind of message is that for a supposed GOTY?
>>694950976Fun.
people who don't like card games are probably fags who are upset that balatro doesn't have as much child porn as their favorite jrpgs
>>694951129nah it was the exact opposite, it was as pointlessly large as liurnia except almost nothing to find and multiple areas that felt like they just werent finished (those blue and red areas mainly)
Balatro being there unironically feels like universities in Brazil that gives scholarship to black people just because they're black.
>>694950976Pretty sure minecraft outsold every JRPG series in terms of sales COMBINED bro
>>694951390that year was unbelievably weak, look at what the other nominees were
>>694951331vampire survivors? for me VS is less about the gameplay (which i do find entertaining and more about everything else. i love unlocking things in video games and finding secrets and the game has absolute boatload of them
>>694951339Minecraft and Doom barely have stories and they're extremely popular.
>>694951172>Wukong has no business being on thereDoesn't matter how much you cry and seethe, it is the first big game of a tiny chinese developer that managed to sell 20 million copies, 4 million at least outside China, and was decent enough at being an action game for what it amounts to a project with 40 million dollars budget.Final Fantasy XVI was the sixteenth game of one of the biggest franchises on the planet, it was lukewarm as hell, doing nothing to absolutely prove its worth or even revitalize the declining FF brand.
>>694951272Next years will be:Metroid Prime 4GTA6Kingdom Come Deliverance IIGhost of YotiExpedition 33Random indie meme game of the year Screen cap and post this next year.
Now all indies will follow suit and trendchase the roguelite deckbuilder cancer even further because that's how you get noticed
>>694951565>deathloop>metroid dread>[BOUGHT SONY SLOT]>[BOUGHT MICROSHART SLOT]>re villagenothing will ever top the horrors of 2021
>>694951659Exactly. Its about people having fun at the end of the day. A good story can be fun, but if the gameplay is completely abysmal, then there is no point. I love my fair share of JRPGs but lately games like Kuro no Kiseki 2 have been so fucking bad that im being turned away from the genre
>>694951525yeah and it was boring as fuck and I hated it. Gameplay focused games with no story all feel pointless to play
>>694950809>>694950956hades 2 is in ea. It will likely be a finalist next year at full release
>>694951765holy shit i forgot deathloop was nominated when it was literal broken mess unfinished game
>>694951640>vampire survivors?yeah that was it. I tried it and just found it extremely boring and tedious.
still confused as to why a bunch of retards act like Rebirth was some drastic upheaval that redeemed 7 remake>>694949478 when it's the same game but just "more". I await the argument that says why without sounding arbitrary or superfluous.In the meantime, there's this phenomenon of somebody so void of self awareness that they are enamored by something they have or do pretend is bad, which implies lack of principles.In this case I'm 90% sure the reason why you'll hear retards say shit like "Remake was worse than TLOU2 but rebirth is better than both". Is the open world phenomenon of "bigger = better!" that has captured and dominated the industry for ages now.It's the ultimate "I have no coherent design so I'll give you as much as possible to please the lowest common denominator and appeal to everybody" of course I could be wrong. But it's not like anybody actually talks about this game with any remote specificity. It's either getting called reddit, or being praised as the best jrpg ever.
>>694951765I don't see how you could look at any gaming awards thing in history and think Microsoft bought anyone, even when they have games that are actually good they'll get snubbed for some cinematic slop
>>694951662>tiny chinese devThey're a big company with a shit ton of investors, among which major companies like netease and tencent lmao. People acting like they're some random tiny 10 manned indie company are retarded. I don't think you actually know anything about this game or the devs.
>>694951662I feel like we should move away our attention from Wukong and focus it on a literal DLC being nominated. That's more baffling
>>694945790Damn AI looks like this? maybe we were wrong about it
>>694951817Because you lack imagination and you are autistic. In a game like minecraft people have their own stories to tell, you might find them uninteresting, but the players ARE the story, what friends do together, what adventures they go on, what they build, what they do. Even discounting this pretentious drivel ive went on people simply let their worries go away and find fun in playing it. If that is not how you play games, that's fine, but to some people that is all that matters. Back in the 80s nobody gave a fuck about story
A dlc being nominated for overall goty is insulting to the full games that came out this year.
>>694950213Metaphor is a critics favorite. If you remove sony bonus, lacking novelty and quirky indie game that is purely gameplay then you are left with Metaphor. The only way something like Astrobot wins is if they decide to give Metaphor every other price to make up for it.>>694950248Space Marine 2 wasn't rated much better actually. The jury must be pissed for what they have to decide on>>694950809>gacha>early acces games>remasters, ports and generally badly received gamesdid you made that list 'urself?
>>694952007If any of the other games on the list win it is guaranteed that someone will have a melty, ER is going to win purely so Jeff pisses off the fewest people and they keep tuning in to watch the ads
>>694951662>tiny chinese devcome on anon, that company is huge as fuck and was directly funded by the governmentwho do you think you are fooling
>>694952007DLC could always get nominated, It's been hinted at all the fucking time.Like the website says and has said for years now, anything that releases during the year is eligible for nominations for any award. I don't know why people ignored this.
>>694952091Good, a vast majority of AAA games that would be considered "Full games" are completely insulting. Anyone who calls FFVII a full game just because it has 80 hours of content is fucking hilarious
>>694952062>Because you lack imaginationYes. The teachers back in school used to say this to me. I used to get high grades in stuff like Math or History where I could just memorize book but they got mad at me for not being able to do any creative writing in English or do any art or music shit at all.
>>694952091maybe the full games should try and be better
>>694952239And that's fine, I understand where you are coming from, because there are great games with great stories, and it is definitely better when you have an entire package that comes together, but you need to be willing to see other perspectives
>>694952236>>694952298Well I'm just saying. Its a bad look. Like why not have hell divers 2 or space marine there instead or anything else that was remotely good like that anime woman game people here like.
White man got so scared of a JRPG winning GOTY that he bent the rules KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>694952152>ER is going to win purely so Jeff pisses off the fewest peopleIf Wukong doesn't win the biggest amount of people (chinks) are going to seethe forever. Actually, whatever wins is going to make people get pissed lmao, this year was awful.
>>694952091It's a weird situation because as a DLC it's excellent, and has as much content as a full game, but if it had released standalone as Elden Ring 2 everyone would shit on it for being derivative
>>694952408>space marine 2ok>helldivers 2killed any chance by their swede nigger devs
>>694952205Cause it just shows that this year was really mediocre
Where Concord
>>694952408Because people had fun with Balatro, many people enjoyed Balatro, I dont see the problem with it. If you want to go based on story alone why have a game that already won awards for its story back up there when its just spinning its wheels retelling the same shit in a different way?
>>694952497well I didnt play either of them. I was just giving suggestions. Giving it to dlc is just so bizzare.
>>694952419>JRPG cant even beat a DLC for game of the yearLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
