What happened?Is our playerbase that low?
Why are Wukong, Genshin, ER, WW and ZZZ on there
>>696763769Because they are Player's Choice alternatives that got the most votes?
>>696763683What about metaflop and stellar blade?
>3 gachas>1 DLC>1 chingchongThis sure has been a great year.
>>696764313Metaphor is getting the critics choice because it's a safe choice. It also helps that the lead sega translator is a troon.
because floppa
>>696763683what the fuck are these choices
>>696764313Coomers are a vocal minority.>>696765361Those are the most-voted for entries.
>>696764313Metaphor will win the actual game of the year. I don't think it would win players choice even without the Chinease bots, it has a much smaller install base.
>incentivize people to vote for your game by bribing them with in-game currency>surprised when every other game that doesn't do this without the Fromsoft (DLC) buff falls offKill yourselves
>>696765586Perhaps Rebirth should have incentivized people with a good game.
There's like 3 chinese gachs on there, they rigged it>>696765763it is a good game, Forspoken shill
>>696765821Well given the context, clearly not. Oh and Flopspoken sucks too.
>>696763683How is genshin on there?
>>696765895It's a good game with fun gameplay.
>>696763683>4 chinese gamesNot suspicious at all
>>696765763Rebirth isn't Chinese. It would have never made it on to the line-up. And Genshin's been winning player choice for a while. Player Choice has been a nothing burger since Halo Infinite won.
>>696763683why is there so much mobile phone crap?
>>696763683>Is our playerbase that low?It's less than 1.4 billion people
>>696766130The only good games this year was Chinese games and one Korean game that chuds failed to support.
>>696763683DLC, Tech Demo and Gachas.What a shitty year.
>>696766348it's actually closer to almost 2 million
This is the way the game industry is going. Only catering to retards who play this gacha crap.
>>696766575>economic industry is moving in the most profitable directionAre you people retarded? No one wants to make games that sell maybe 2m units wen you can print tenfold that a week with gachaslop.
>>696763683Okay, so when you log on to these gacha games, I assume you get little news updates that pop up, right? And they probably pop up these updates telling you to vote for them for this frivolous awards show? Yeah?
>>696766918I have no idea. And until someone can post a video showing this to be the case I'm pretty sure these games are just winning on sunk-cost fallacy.
>>696766918Kek. 2 years ago Elden Ring posted on their twitter telling people to vote for them on players choice. Genshin didn't mention the award anywhere in-game or on their social media, and Genshin won.
>>696763683Please don't vote for Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, Wuthering Waves.I don't want the free male characters in the ingame mail for an entire year.
>>696766240>Rebirth isn't ChineseYou're forgetting Wukong is Chinese...
>>696767263Fuck you trannies
>>696767263I voted for ER. It's the best game I played this year by far.
>>696763769Chinks are voting because they'll get free shit in their games
>>696766116From 2019.
>>696766714>No one wants to make games that sell maybe 2m units wen you can print tenfold that a week with gachaslop.Well why doesn't /V/ make their own Gacha game? Roll in that money
>>696763769China mass voting / bots
>>696767003Look, I have to accept the reality here. Satan won, and we're all going to be anal raped by hell demons forever. But I think the people playing gacha games don't have much agency, and are just overwhelming the very legitimate The Game Awards by the fraction of players who successfully follow the link posted on their home page. It doesn't mean anything except that nobody cares about the gay awards
>>696767559>China mass voting / botsDon't forget bribes of free currency and rolls for their favorite characters!
>>696764394All 3 of those gacha trash games are chink games too.
>>696763769Because Chinese gamers and Gacha addicts outnumber everyone else. I wish China sealed off their internet again.
>>696763769This is why player votes are shit and the 10% decision was correct.
>>696767486sure my retarded nigga, let's go and hire a bunch of low cost labour to make all our assets. also we'll design the gameplay, despite being cynical scumbags. this always goes well, like all the latest EA games
>>696763683Genshin Impact didn't come out this year and DLC isn't a fucking game, it's DOWNLOADBLE CONTENT FOR A GAME. I feel like I'm going crazy with how stupid this is.
>>696767996Yeah but no one cared all the other times it happened. People should have complained years ago, not now. It's too late.
>>696767938I mean, all we have to do is hire an artist or two, have some folks proficient in Live2d, some shitty music composer and since /v/ is fuill of gooners anyway, they'll eat the shit up!
>>696766918No. At best you have the twitter account saying that they have been nominated, but nothing about giving currency if people vote for it. In fact, whether they win or lose, the players get the same amount of currency.
>>696763683China is mass voting their games into this the same way they rigged the TGA years ago for overwarts to win the GOTY because of the game's release there.Also, Player's choice was always a bot voting war.
>>696763683kek Barry wins again!
>>696763683>ZZZWhat the actual fuck is that doing there
>>696768438China astroturfing their bots again
>>696763683If you care, you lose. I'm content with games I like never winning anything desu.
>>696768279I don't even care if people bot, they can do whatever. My main problem is that two of those things shouldn't even be there. Can we make fortnite game of the year because they updated it? or Minecraft bedrock edition update? If we can even say dlc can be game of the year than that kind of undermines everyone else's work in actually putting out original ideas and we make year old games game of the year than what the fuck is the point of even having a game of the year?
Did Square Enix assign their bots to the wrong title again?
>>696768223Lol that's a lie.Look at these pathetic fuckers voting to appease their gambling addiction.https://x.com/scaraarchive/status/1592995107049205760
>>696763683Modern audience sisters...
>>696768751kek
Why do rebirth tards care about faggy goty awards? Is this why I have been hearing about GOTY a lot more this year? Because these retards are propping up meaningless awards?
>>696763683why no woke games?
>>696763683Genshin won
>>696763683I didn't even know this was an option to vote for. This has nothing to do with us retard. And I don't care about about an awards show where journalists vote in the "best" game
>>696763683This has got to be satire
>/v/ hates democracythe absolute statewhat the fuck did you all expect from popular vote?
>>696769120validation. it's all validationfor ff, for metaphor, for etc
>>696763683The last FF game that contributed positively to the brand was X and that was over 20 years ago, back when Squaresoft existed
>>696765361All four Chinese games in the running + one bit of DLCThe bugs are the main reason why all these award shows need a jury
>>696766714I only enjoy traditional AAA single player games like Zelda and Resident Evil and Final Fantasy and so on though. Gacha is more like porn than video games. Its lowbrow and for dopamine addicts.
>>696763683Thought this was a joke.
>>696769120Winning GotY correlates with an increased number of sales which Squarefags desperately need. The others as well, but Square actually does need the boost. They havent even announced the game sold (not shipped) 1 million
>>696763683These are some grim fucking choices
>>696772021If a game needs GOTY to salvage shit sales then the game surely wasn't appealing enough to deserve it. I think both it and Astrobot were charity "help Sony" picks. Has any game that's sold 2million or less ever won GOTY?
>>696763769chink bots
>>696763683Why are three gacha kusoges there?
>>696774267It Takes Two iirc, but 2020 was a really weird year for vidya
>>696763683china has 2 billion people
>>696775619ITT sold 16M on its first 6 months actually
>>696763683>more than half the entries are CCP brainwashing gachasGaming is dead.
>>696763769>WukongDeserved>GenshinGreat update but too old>ERDLC, needs a different category>WuWalmfao>ZZZlol the game was so dogshit they're soft relaunching after 6 months
>>696763683this is what happens when you give chinks the right to vote
>>696775773No it didn't you fucking idiot. It wasn't that popular until it won GotY at the game awards. It didn't hit 10 million until 2023, and it but 20 million in 2024.
There was never "bribery" because Genshin never gave any rewards for public vote rewards, only industry/critic nominations.>they always gave 800 shekels for nominations, 1600 for wins>when it won Player's Choice and got some other nominations, they gave 800>it was only for the nominations, the public vote didn't count at allYou are now a bit more intelligent
>>696767263Wuwa isn’t up for vote anymore.
>>696765821>it is a good gamenah squenix has been cranking out pure garbage since the mergerand where did anyone mention forspoken other than you dumb faggotanother shitty game being a shitty game doesnt make your game any less shitty
>>696766240>Rebirth isn't Chineseindia has a large population though
>>696763683>genshit will cuck itself because of the other gacha shit being thereLove to see it
genshin has over 100 million players.
>>696763683it would get too many awards otherwise
>the award for games played by most people>won by games played by most people, which shockingly are overwhelmingly Chinese and f2pNote I use the word "people" out of convenience and not to imply Chinese are human.
>>696776928Thank you for using the word players and not people to refer to them
>>696776928Nobody says a game has x people you retard.
>>696764394nigga dey all chinese
>>696777237Players = potential votersHow many players doe FF7 have?
>>696777440unknown since square refuses to acknowledge how many copies it soldmaybe billions!
>>696763683>Chinese flood a public votegosh who could've seen this coming
>>696777591The players are from all over the world. South Americans, poverty countries like Myanmar which you have never heard of, they have smartphone and can play Genshin, and can vote.
>>696777719prove it
>>696764313Lol
>>696777790>prove itI bet you felt smug when you wrote this.<- over 200 million players globally.You think you're up against China, but you're actually up against the global majority.
>>696778135Damn, the best selling game in the world is a Chinese gacha...
Even 1 percent of the 400 million equates to more players than rebirth lol lmao
>>696778307And that's adnroid only.It doesn't count Harmony OS which has above 1 billion devices at this point in time.An it doesn't count PS4 an PS5, an PC.
The only awards Rebirth can win now are ones that the journalists hand out. How the tables have turned.
>>696778478>Harmony OS>1 billionliterally what?
Chinese would vote for a literal turd if it was a turd shat out by a fellow chinesemanits hypernationalism, chinese IPs need to be 100% blocked from voting and even then they will still spam votes with vpns
>>696778608All Chinese and Indians know Harmony OS. Best OS of all time. Better than Window, Mac, and Linux. No competitors anywhere else from world.
>>696778135giving internet access to thirdies was a mistake
>>696778608Americans began to ban chinese phone maker from using Android OS, they were smug and thought they were all powerful because of software monopoly.Harmony OS began 4-5 year ago as a fork of Android, but in its current incanation, it no longer has any American code in it.
>>696779025>>696778716Wow. I need to install this now. How do I install this over Microshaft Winblows on my PC?!
>>696763683The Changus game with 95% Changus players is going to win and it won't be close. Remember not squint at the game awards.
>>696763683Elden Ring wouldn't even be in that list, if there were a fifth Chinese game to choose from.You can't win in an online public vote against an army of chinkbots. This is unironically also the reason why Wukong won GOTY at Golden Joysticks.
>>696778796We are a diverse bunch, from all continents, Europe, Americas, Asia, the whole world>>>/bant/21719997
>>696779420Chinks do be like that.
>>696763769>WhyChinks. That is why.
>>696779420>>696779368You guy are actual retards, 80% of all Genshin players are from outside of China.
>>696765763kek fucking destroyed him
>>696763683Another one to add to the pile of Larry L's.
>>696763683What could make Final Fantasy relevant again? Yeah Turn Based is good, but that's just one step. The entire brand is dead and lost the public's trust
>>696763769why are you gay
>>696779943>lost the public's trustThis. XV was so SHIT that nobody will ever buy an FF game again. They really should just pick a new name, maybe, I don't know, Dragon Quest?
>>696779769>absolute retard thinks the player data from wukong is inaccuratelmao
>>696763769only china has been making good games lately
>>696779769Did you not see the other chink games in that list, Chang Lee?
>>696779943What would make it better again is more simple than most people think, and it's just having a presence. The games taking 4 years to come out at the soonest and 7 years on average is killing this brand. Zoomers don't even know what a Final Fantasy is, and would rather just play Genshin/HSR.
>>696779769Chang moment.
>>696763683Reverse Collapse mogs the chinkges on this list.
>>696779769~95% of all Wukong players are from China and Hong Kong. Literally nobody in the West cares about a mediocre monkey game based on Chinese mythology.
>>696763683not even good gathca games on there either
>>696780316The threat isn't Wukong, its player base and voter base is 100 times smaller than the genshin player base and voter base.
>>696776928Most of them died and/or quit retard
>>696780089>is so buttblasted by Wukong>he doesn't even understand the Wukong population is a tiny minority
>>696780316Wukong's pretty cool if you like Souls-esque boss fights
>>696780698Nein, most of them are not even counted into that chart, because it can't accurately measure the Chinese population which has a new dominant operating system of their own.
>>696763683>Chink game is nominated>Chink game winsIt was already clear where this shit was heading after Golden Joysticks and their 100% online public vote. There are just so many hypernationalistic Chinks, that the chink game effectively wins by default. They don't even need to use bots.
>>696780316Zamn, mediocre games look like THIS?
>>696780741>full price game that sells 20+ million with a 95%+ chinkoid player base>they're a minoirty!Wew lad, I'm afraid you're mentally retarded.
>>696780867Meanwhile critics vote heavily favors US and EU critics and that's ok with you
>>696763683People complain about 90% of the votes being from media outlets, but if it was 100% fan votes, ching chong china slop will win every year.
>>696780984The award show hasn't even happened yet and you're already seething. Wukong got nominated despite asspained faggots like you saying it wouldn't. So yes, this is better than China game winning every single category every year from now on by default.
>>696780965>they're a minoirty!You are in fact a minority.
>>696780984yeah
>>696780867lmao Starfield isn't even close to a 7/10. Sorry Geoff ching chong ping pong pee pee sucky sucky now.
>>696780984>Japan has won 3 times now>Heavily favors US and EUretard alert. Kill yourself chink
>>696781148>the revenue to downloads ratioThat is pathetic
>>696763683>3 gacha, a dlc, and wukong
>>696781370What if I told you Genshin is famously not very successful in Japan since day 1?
>>696781436Monkey
>>696781370Lot of people play for free, so what?We are still going to vote for Genshin an make you assblasted.
>>696781510Return
>>696763683>4 chang games nominated in the player's voice category>4 chang games make it to the final roundJesus Christ, Chang. Did you have to make it so obvious?
>>696781528Voted for the others just to make your dumbass seethe
>>696763683It's a PS5 exclusive and nothing can beat chinkbots and gachadrones.
>>696781646We already won in 2022, you already are the dominant gacha, your award how is inconsequential even if we lose for whatever reason.
>>696781638Those Chinese gacha games have lots of fans from all over the world.
>>696763683What a grim list
My completely unbiased and true GOTY listWukong > Palworld > ZZZ > DD2I played all of those and this list is objectively correct, haven't played FF7R2 and Space Marine 2 though
>>696781646He's literally falseflagging so you did what he wanted lol
>>696781276>Heavily favors US and EUNow read the next word in that sentence, retard. Most of the critics are from US and EU. How they vote is up to them
>>696763683I HATE ASTROTURFED WOKESLOPI HATE ASTROTURFED CHINKSLOPMAKE IT ALL GO AWAY
>>696781992>trying to reason with someone who has called you patheticThe only way to smack him in the head until he i butthurt. Doesn't matter if he is going to vote against our game.
>>696763769Because the chinese are kicking the shit out of japanese gaming now, the only two jap games on the list are a remake and persona 5 bootleg
>>696763683>no Astroturfed Bot>no Steller BladeSONYGG*RS BTFO!!!1
>>696781148You're once again displaying your mental retardation. The chinkoids will vote Wukong GOTY and there is nothing you can do about it.
>>696782086>Most of the critics are from US and EUThese losers need to get a real job that produces real things.
>>696782407China is not a majority, the world around them are the majority.
>>696764394All of those games are good.
>>696782407Anybody who was paying attention knew that Wukong would the player's voice category. Anybody who has been paying attention also knows that the Chinese game will always win in any category it is nominated for, if the online public vote counts 100%.
>>696781370Anon this is revenue over last 30 days.
>>696763683No one under 30 cares about Final Fantasy.Remake entirely exists to capitalize on boomers who grew up with FF7 but once people realized it was some meta sequel they fucked off
>>696777806>12/30/24-11/2/24Metaphor hasn’t even been out for a month at that point
>>696781370Lifetime is over 2 billion and Mihoyo games have more players on consoles and PC than mobile. Also it's cheaper on PC.
>gachaslaves botting the polls hoping their masters throw them some scraps
Total Amerimutt DeathTotal Jap Death
>>696783258>muh botsEvery time. Next time you will say billion $ corps like EA don't bot. Gacha is simply the biggest game category on earth right now and most players are asian.
>>696783258It's actually because we love the game we play.
>>696783439The bot argument is right but it is ironic because Square Enix runs multiple gachas that never been nominated for anything on top of being caught botting
>>696783258It does feel pretty nice to get $10 equivalent of gems for free for some awards you don't care about
>>696783439AFTER WE TOOK OUT ALL THE BOTS, THE WINNER IS: ASTRO BOT!
>>696783258I can see Kuro throwing free shit for votes because DEVS LISTENEDAs for hoyoshit >>696776492
>>696763683>3 gacha gamesthese really shouldn't count, because they all run in-game campaigns that reward players who vote for them with gacha tickets. letting them buy their way into these categories is quakery.
>>696763683>3 gachas>1 dlcwhat a year
>>696763683Part 3 is going to get cancelled at this rate.
>>696783258They were removed last year. BG3 won Player's Voice despite the polls saying Genshin Impact was in the lead.
>>696784565Good.It'll become another Versus XIII, the greatest game that never was
>>696784272>they all run in-game campaigns that reward players who vote for them with gacha ticketsYou could just read the post above you, you know
>>696784272ZZZ atleast has no ingame incentive as far as I can tell. But I suppose it's implied heavily it'll benefit me if it wins by track record from their other games
>>696763683All these games mog Rebirth
>>696765398More like the very vocal majority
>rebirth didn't earn a profit>the 3rd game definitely won't sell more copies than rebirth>the budget for the 3rd game will be decreased>the 3rd game will be even worseCalling it now
>>696763683I'm annoyed stellar blade was bumped off by gatcha games
>>696785507heavy is the head that wears the snoy exclusivity contract
>>696785507Yes, I also work out my budgets months after production started
>>696786172Popular multiplatform games will always be outvoting niche exclusives.
>>696785507They already outsourced most of the work to india. I can't wait to see how bad part3 will look.
>>696786697It's a real shame their kikes are treating FF7 as a source of profit, rather than a labour of love.But I guess the original developers are long gone/retired anyhow.And with their HR/Ethics department we already knew since the beginning it could never be the perfect remake people ha been dreaming about.
>>696763683Objectively speaking Rebirth and Stellar Blade are better than all those games.
>>696782830Why? There's 1.5 billion Chinese and 6.5 billion non-Chinese last I checked.
>>696785507Honestly after the flop of 7R2 I expected R3 to be a movie. It would totally work too since it's mostly just cinematic fights with giant robots. But I guess Square insists on going bankrupt
>>696787639In this case it's about who have the most fans.Don't keep your game on a minority console if you don't want the majority to vote for your competition.
>>696787639Objectively speaking a game only 1 million people played can't win people's vote over a game that 20 million people played. People already voted, with their wallet
>>696787362>But I guess the original developers are long gone/retired anyhow.they’re literally the ones creating it, that’s why they feel free to “change” it
>>696787643The Chinks weaponize their numbers and are actively encouraged to swarm. Don't be so naive.
>>696783258yagooey
I'm thinking it boils own to Genshin vs Wukong vs Elden Ring.Genshin has the most players by far, but they are casual in their approach to gaming and news about award and stuff like this, so most of them are probably not going to vote.The Wukong players are probably more aware of the politics in all of this situation and are more likely to vote because their favourite game was under attack by western game outlets.Then you have the 3rd group who don't want any Chinese game to win under any circumstances, an their ticket is Elden Ring dlc.
>>696788072>it's not fair that we lost because they actually tried to win and we didn'tOkay, what did we learn? Next time, try to win.
>>696787362>But I guess the original developers are long gone/retired anyhow.All main heads from the original FFVII like Kitase, Toriyama and Nomura are working in the Remake trilogy, that’s exactly why it is shit, they were the ones that felt things needed to change in order to be motivated to work on their same creation again.
>>696784580you are making shit up retardthe bots that removed were the sonic one from 2 years ago
>>696764394I will vote on Elden Ring only because i despise gachashit and chinkshit
>>696789107Wukong is better than ER DLC in every way. Are you seriously upset about Journey to the West lmao
>>696763683I am glad that Redditbirth and Redditphor failed to make it.
>>696788962>2 years agoThat was 2 years ago? Feels like yesterday.... Fuck..... I'm 39.... I've wasted my life....
>>696763769Gacha (third world) are crackheads for casino gambling rolls if they win.
>>696789280I think he is upset because he suspects the main award from the jury will go to Black Myth.So he wants the consolation prize.
>>696789702Wukong is literally the lowest rated game out of the nominees. And the people who rated it that low ARE the jury. No way is it winning the main thing.
>>696789686Mihoyo games don't do that, but wuwa might, they do forced publicity stunts like that often
>>696789702>the jury existing of people mostly reluctantly giving black myth barely an 8/10 is going to give it gotyWhy would anyone think this?
>>696788717You're not making sense, schizo. Wukong is a major perceived cultural victory for the chinks and they'll be making sure it wins GOTY. You need to take your meds. Not even your retarded gachashit is gonna win here.
>>696790070>>696790046I think this is a different situation compared to the Harry Potter game which was outright banned from the awards.
>>696790046>>696790070The jury isn't just gaming journalists. I'm sure if it was up to them Wukong wouldn't have gotten in over Helldivers or SH2R.
>>696790181>they'll be making sure it wins GOTYOkay, why don't YOU coordinate and make something win GOTY instead, you sad fuck? Because it's too hard? Then don't whine about losing, you lost by not trying. They're not breaking the rules, the rules are the biggest fanbase wins. So build that fanbase faggot, or lose
>>696790541I agree, if the lefty ideologues had the influence people think they have, then we would be seeing DA Veilguard in the nominations for game of the year.
>>696763683Shadow Generation lost, and Sonic has one the most vocal and autistic fanbase out there, what made you think FF7R had a chance when the FF brand has never being less popular?
>>696790885>vocal and autisticBut not a very big one
>>696790541Not exclusively, but a lot of them are. Point remains that the winner always ends up being among the highest rated games that year, which Wukong is not. I fully expect it to win people’s choice but I’d be really surprised if it gets the jury vote.
>>696766394>rollslop and gatchaThat's wrong.
>>696778545>roll sloppa and gatcha are the likeliest candidates to win player's choiceGrim
did se ever announce the 2m sales?you'd think they'd do that when they didn't have any problems doing it for dq3.

>>696792938Whatever make you sleep at night
>>696763683So who will the chinks vote for now that the 5 chinese games made it? Wukong?
>>696792882Did you play both?

>>696791175We're big, but CHADowbros won't waste their time on the "rollslopin' & gatcha awards." Geoff should be embarassed! KEK!
>>696792987>says Chang as he desperately bots the polls so he can get his dopamine fix in gatcha#201362You're more obsessed than anyone with these awards.
>>696793325Why?
>>696793569Because it sucks. The best rollslops are the ones that are closest to proper action games. Therefore, Sekiro and Nioh 2 are the peak of the genre.
>>696793674What do you think makes Sekiro different from Wukong in that regard?
>>696788565Genshit is getting cucked by itself, Wuwa, and ZZZ so it's just Wukong and Elden.
>>696793917By being a good game with good combat and good level design
>>696781747>had to win against sonic in one of the worst years for gaming>not something of actual importance to gamingYou're much more embarrassing than I thought, holy shit.
>>696794236Specifics I mean. What makes Sekiro's combat good and Wukong's bad?
>>696778135>chinks only live in china As much as everyone wishes that were the case, it's not
>>696783667Battered wife
>>696795878You're out of your mind. Look at this thread an look at the flags>>>/bant/21719997
>>696763683I would have voted for shazwozzers
>>696763683all I'm seeing is bent knees
>>696796326I ain't clicking that shit chink
>>696763683The is why 'gamers' only have 10% vote influence on the real awards. Gachasloppers have ruined it for everyone forever.
>>696796664Don't blame casino's for gambling addicts Anon. How about just fucking get a grip instead?
>>696796748Yeah because that's how addiction works: just get le grip.
>>696763683Gacha players will do this and be surprised gamers consider them as subhuman gambling addicts which they completely are.If you play any gacha game I beg of you to off yourself off this planet I promise you both the world and your family as well as yourself be better off without your existence.
>>696763683>okay game>gacha>dlc to an okay game>gacha>gachaWhat the fuck man

>>696797130Yes it is. Stop coping.
>>696763683>chinks rig it for genshit every year>they rig it for the 4 eligible chink games this year>surprised pikachu faceyou don't understand how autistic the chinese are about dumbass awards like this.
>>696763683Vengeance bros...Reload sisters...
>>696796651I 4chan too dangerous for you?
You know, this entire problem would go away forever if a game couldn't be nominated more than once. If ER, or FF7 or GI was only allowed to be nominated once in its lifetime, for example, this entire issue would go away entirely.
>>696763683...Maybe Journos were right. Gamers really are the problem
>>696798447But where does the limit go? FF7 Stillbirth is practically a new game, and so is Shart of the Erdtree. They're more sequels than expansions and the line gets really blurry in between. Should sequels be allowed to be nominated at all, or is it a series thing? Once FF7 Remake was nominated, Rebirth doesn't get to try? Or does FF7 not get to try at all because (for example) FF6 won best art direction 30 years ago and they're technically in the same series?My point is that your rule is undefined and stupid.
>>696777806Where is Stellar Blade?
>>696763683Genshin, Wuwa and ZZZ promise they will give extradionarry gift for player if they votes for them in the game award.
>>696798862In the bargain bin.
>>696763683
>>696799067By the way, this is considered one of the SMALL operations. This shit usually happens in warehouses.
>>696763683The hardest pill to swallow for a lot of people, is that Genshin and ZZZ are, surprisingly, actually decent game. They are probably some of the best GAAS in terms of content and quality. But, do they deserve to win? The obvious answer is: who gives a fuck? The VGA is a complete scam, and if you think the the event has any merit at all when is just an excuse to roll ads for 3 hours, they you are a moron.
>>696782219>Meanwhile the three chinese mobile games are just simplified Musou clone>Wukong is a rollslop Nioh clone
>>696798989>promise they will give extradionarry gift They don't promise anything but it is implied. Also, they give enough for 10 pulls from what I read which is anything but extraordinary.
>>696781983>ZZZ>Better than anything
>>696799516Yes.
>>696799067What the fuck is this?
>>696763683wukong attracted the chinese audience to the awards and they dwarf everyone else. these are the top 5 for china. (ER's popularity was also hugely boosted by them.)
>>696767853>I wish China sealed off their internet again.Same but also do the same with India. The internet was a much better place when that quarter of the internet was isolated from the rest of the world.
>>696763683I think the hard truth is that the game flopped.
>>696793146Not him, but I pirated ER DLC and bought Wukong for 0,8 USD, and Wukong was way worse than ER DLC
>>696799432These gacha does it every times they win something though, like google play reward or they reached the top 1 of daily revenue
>>696763769>1 actual full fledged game (allegedly, didn’t play it), 1 dlc and 3 gachasloops>All from AsiaHoly fuck it’s never been this over for AAA. LMAOOO
>>696763683>Genshin impact I don’t get why it’s on the list, it’s a fucking cell phone game with all the awful aspects of cell phone games but ported to pc and consoles. Runs like shit on pretty much everything but ps5 and pc. Straight up chick game but most of the chicks who play it have penises.
>>696799595At least wukong deserves it more than the other slop on that list and I didn’t even play wukong to be honest. Fucking gacha slop though, disgraceful.
>>696799560Chinese click farmhttps://cheq.ai/blog/everything-about-click-farms/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CoEHDHb0lE
Wukong is fine but I don't understand how the fuck did those 3 crappy mobile games got in there.
>>696800520>Wukong is fine
>>696799864Why do you think so?
Genshin and ER shouldn't be there
A lot of bots ITT.
>>696800872It's an alright game for 1 dollaru
>not a single western game on the listI can't believe it, the chuds were right.
>>696800520This looks legitimately awful. What the fuck is even going on?>>696801421Why would I buy an account for a game?
>>696763683>a bunch of chink gachaslop and WukongI think its safe to assume whos manipulating these polls
>>696800997As an Asian, i don't like the fanfiction Journey to the west story or amazed by budha statues, temples, and the game is quite repetitive. Also got annoyed by all the invisible walls, chapter 3 and the final semi open world chapter are the worst. Most bosses are forgettable, the only good one is Erlang, chapter 4 dragon and Broken Shell
>>696801625>Why would I buy an account for a game?Because it's cheaper than $70, and it's a singleplayer game.
>>6967643136th and 5th place iirc
>>696801421>1 dollar for a Steam account with Wukangz installedDamn. How much does this game cost in China? 50 cents?
>>696795320>>696793569>>696800997>>696793146It's an alright game and it only made waves because they orchestrated drama.Basically it's Dante's Inferno>b-but whyDo you want a fucking essay or review someone states their opinion?Compare the way people talk about it with when a Souls game releases. There isn't that much to it
>>696801807It's an account with stolen cc
>>696800520>I don't understand howChinks. An army of Chinks. An army of Chinks that only voted for Chink slop.There is a reason why every single Chink game made it to the last round of voting.
>>696801421I didn't even know this was a practice. How does this work exactly?>just use this questionable .exe file to log inSeriously?
>>696763683the chink games are only even there because they get rewarded in game for it
>>696763683If half of a game consists of cutscenes, it should not be there anyway.
>>696776928It this why you faggot ass game got BTFO by NIKKE in November?
>>696801807>>696801991Hacked or stolen account
>>696801421Jesus, and I thought the keymarket was gray.
>>696802134Which, thanks to the .exe you're forced to run, you'll soon be contributing your account to.
>>696802223Ask >>696801421 why he seems to encourage that
>3 gambling games>a fucking DLCI know Geoff's award show is a joke but damnThis anon >>696799812 is right, btw. Way fewer people played Rebirth compared to Remake
Why can't Japs in general make gachas with as much appeal as the chinks'?
>>696802134>the other games on your account are giftsSure, sure, not the games left on some poor sap's account you stole. Gifts my ass.
>>696801672I think there was a bit more than that, like Tiger Vanguard, Yaksha King, and Yin Tiger are also really good. I don't see how it was more repititive than say, Sekiro, Elden Ring or DS3
>>696801991They hack your account and use your wallet to buy the game. Then sell it to others.
>>696801865Yeah, because saying 'it's bad' isn't really much of an opinion. It really just gives the impression you didn't play it at all
>>696763683Only PoE2 deserves to win that award, and even then, it's not that great.
>>696802476Games that come out too late in the year literally can't get nominated.>American mystery meat
>>696801807>>696801903>>696802134>>696802304You know they are giving away the game for free in Asian countries and you can get it for free if you buy a 4000 NVIDIA GPU, right? Also it's a family share account so there is no funny .exe, dumbass
>>696802553Swing and a miss.
>>696801991>>696802420It's a family sharing steam account with Wukong and few offline Denuvo games like P5, Total warhammer, and you can only played it on 1 PC
>>696802553>if you buy a 4000 NVIDIA GPUOh yeah that's probably way more profitable than buying the game.
>>696802638There is no activator. They give you a Steam account like userrname: WUKONG69 password: 123456 and you use that username and password to login to Steam
>>696802476Poe2 isn’t even out, it’s early access.
>>696802786Uh-huh, and I just posted a pic proving that no they do not.Are you a salesman?
Yeah people enjoy gachaslop more over your dead jap games which is why they have massive communities. Deal with it.
>>696802957>gambling addicts>communityCome on now.
>>696802393>Tiger Vanguard, Yaksha King, and Yin Tiger are also really gooI think they are boring and easy as fuck. Killed all of them in first try. The only one that took me 3 tries is Erlang, he is just kind of annoying and has a lot of HP
>>696802786The executable is for the mining
>>696803090Difficulty varies between players though, and isn't the only thing making a boss memorable or good. Like most people first tried Morgott in Elden Ring but a lot of people still like him as a boss.
>>696802553You sound like a criminal.
>>696802829Different seller how do i know? I buy the game from that multi market guy in the screenshot, he give me the account and that it
why are they all chinese
>>696802957Not the chinks' fault that Japs aren't trying to make appealing gachaslop. Even the gooks will probably outpace the Japs in this area.
>>696803249Nah, i just don't want to pay $70 for dumb monkey, that's all. Game is fine for $30,40 but not $70. Nioh 2 is way better
>>696803347because no one plays the western slops
>>696802638They promise that the executable will definitely not install any malware or spyware on your system. Sounds legit to me, because we all know that pajeets are very trust worthy and would never scam anybody.

>>696805279By spyware you mean Steam, right?
>>696804838The game isn't in your steam account. Most of /v/ love to grow their steam account.
>quick, deploy the off topic webm
>>696763683Because it slopped and flopped.
>>696804629Of course, enjoy the base game. Don't forget to pay for the dlc. Oh wait.. can just use activator for the dlc. Sorry I forgot, it's "paid in full prices".
>>696805846>paid in full pricesOnly count for the base game, nigga who the fuck in their right minds buying crusader king or the sims DLCs?
>>696802475You do know what an opinion is, right?>It really just gives the impression you didn't play it at all>NOOO you have to post a committee-approved review with +500 words!
>>696763683Hate it or love it, most gamers are Chinese. Videogames are a Chinese hobby.
>>696805970I thought you paid japanese games for the full prices? Just keep watching maybe Iceborne will be free too
>>696806964Yes, but i paid for good western games too. See, i bought DD, MHW, Bayonetta and P4 at full priced
>>696806721Generally, a well-informed opinion has reasons behind it. Otherwise it's a worthless opinion

>>696763769ER pisses me off because is a fucking DLC
>>696808912SB on 6th, Metapor 7th, 8th is FFR iirc
>>696808651Because an opinion without reasoning behind it can't be justified or argued against. This thread is an example.>game is bad>why?>it just is!>I think it's goodAnd now neither opinion is more valuable or correct. The actual quality of the game being discussed can't be determined by either opinion.
I don't know if the data is accurate or even available, but I refuse to believe that a VAST majority of AMERICANS are playing Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, and Wuthering Waves. The playerbase has to be mostly in China, Japan, or any other nation. I just do not believe the gacha fanbase in America is that large, if it is, then I never notice it. I've asked co-workers over the years, random people I've met, people on the internet in America, and essentially zero to very few actually like or play gacha games. If you walked into an American high school, surveyed the student body, asked how many play a gacha game, or like gacha, then maybe the numbers would be larger? Even then it'd be slim, I really don't feel like America is the gacha center of the world. I'd believe battle royale games are more popular in America over fucking gacha games.
The original final fantasy VII was both a fan darling and critical darling, and now Final Fantasy has become so irrelevant and has lost so much influence that it is now considered the underdog pick. That shit is hilarious
>>696809551Might be less china or japan or SEA like philippines and Indonesia but they one that do play spend A LOT of money.
>>696809551>Ruin the world>Make everything uglyOf course people will flood to entertainment with better designs
>>696764394at least that dlc was good and I managed to catch up on my backlog
>>696809551Maybe not VAST majority of Americans but you'd be surprised at how many play games like Genshin Impact to begin with. I play FFXIV and I'm surprised at the amount of in-game friends; especially women that play GI on the side. I've recently picked up ZZZ too and been spending a bit of money on it instead of buying the new Indiana Jones games or Veilguard.
>>696809551People at my job played genshill and wuthering waves anon, its normie enough
>>696763683we fucking won bros
>>696763683I wouldn't mind the gacha games being here if they were voted in legitimately and not just because the gambling addicts want free pulls. Why is Genshin still allowed when it released in 2020 though??
>>696810315Just like Elden Ring, Genshin got big update
>>696783667I've been in gacha threads, you guys definitely don't love those games. You're just addicted to the adrenaline of getting a good pull
>>696810423>if I gaslight for the millionth time, it'll be true!yawn
>>696763683If they banned chink IPs and their usual VPNs that would look VERY different.
>>696763683>three gachas>a dlc>and a souls cloneHoly cancer.
>>696811430Not just that but it's 4 chinese games and a DLC
At least they got rid of Rebirth. That shit never made any sense.
>>696783258>>696788321Ronyan!Tanyao
wss it ever?game sucked
>>696779420tfw no brawling rat roommates
>>696780604I could see Wukong win but I want Genshin to win.
>>696763683because square enix is pozzed
>>696763683can't trust any online polls anymore because of dirty chinese scum and seanigs. Wasn't the great firewall supposed to keep them away? People always talking about Russia this and that when the real online threat are chinks.
>>696763769Zenless zone zero pisses me off because the game is a catastrophe that is getting rebootedAnd wuwa is just shitAt least wukong and genshin are good, but the other two do not derserve anything
Chinks don't even enter a competition that they didn't rig in advance. Gacha are no more a video game than a slot machine is. They basically forced their slaves to buy and play wukong on the heels of their desperate effort to slam anyone who plays video games. It's a silly place.
>>696813369Genshin is one of the most popular games of all time and Wukong just sold like 20-30 million copies you autistic retard. The other games are also Chinese or the latest From DLC(which is by far the least popular on that list).
Holy fuck it's incredibly gay to give a shit about game awards. Only thing gayer is playing shit like gachas and thinking you're not the biggest loser in the world.
>>696808912Bayonetta and Nier Automata were at least good games, though. Stellar Blade may have been ShiftUps first non-gacha and I sympathise with the effort, but their visuals aren't as good as they could be. Maybe some day we'll get back to an industry of world-builders. Someday.>>696780880Yes. Wukong is just an auto-felating cultural fish tale. The whole thing is a repetative and joyless slog. It was like any other plotless action game that relies exclusively on visuals. Imitation visuals, no less. The worst of the Souls-likes.
>>696763683metaphorbros...
>>696763769I know right? Where are "fuck stalin" and "devil hitler"? Both 2024 games
>>696764313no one outside of /v/ and grums cares about stellar blade
>>696813369Instead of worrying about chinks and vatniks you should worry more about what your retarded "colleagues" are doing with the vidya game industry. Destiny 2 >500 million down in the drain, Halo Infinite another >500 million gone over nothing, and Ubisoft is about to implode. It's impressive how Western studios can't even compete despite having a way bigger budget.

>middle part of a trilogy that costs $70 and is exclusive to a $500 dollar console >isn't popular All the games that made it are significantly more accessible and the gacha shit all have vote incentives

Everything was build with the original game as its main foundation; characters were all the same, narrative theme -despite a little bit stretched out- was pretty much the same, level design, asset, aesthetic, the entire game was literally REDESIGNED This is the form of hackness, the creative laundering that nips did with their games. Its no difference then kikeliwood making up bunch of unnecessary remakes because they are creatively bankrupt. A remake shouldn't be nominated in any award because its a remake, a redesign. Yes, it applies to resident evil and goy of war as well
>>696825357>This is the form of hackness, the creative laundering that nips did with their gamesReminder that the FF7 fanbase begged for this for 15 years, they didn't even want to do it.
>>696825692>Square throwing a tantrum over being forced to do a remake killed their golden goose
>>696813440How are the rebooting it? Besides adding more males
>>696763683>favorite game>at least 3 of those entries are slot machines
>>696826347NTA but>Update stream where they basically cried about the game not doing well and that they put everything on the next update to save it.>Scrapping half the gameplay instead of fixing minor issues because "we listen to players">A metric shitton of gibs and free shit to return since a lot of the playerbase quit.>A goddamn preregistration hype event for a random midyear update.>Shilling the most safe and boring character that is tailor made for chink and Jap tastes (generic autist katana kitsune) with insane levels of in game wank, releasing an entire new element that's an upgrade of an existing one and it's unique to her for extra powercreep, only 5 months inIt's a soft relaunch because the game bled most players in a few months
>>696824194>120 fps exclusive to iPhone>Volumetric clouds exclusive to PS5>No controller support on Android>It ha 4
>>696825357>narrative theme was pretty much the sameNo, the original explored themes of ecocide, power, and turn-of-the-century doomer millennialism through the lens of a saturday morning cartoon version of Akria. Since then VII's narrative and world has mainly been melodramatic nonsense for basic retards.
>>696816946>Bkackrock is owned by ChinkWhy dont you say Burgerland is owned by chink at this point?Actually why are you still speaking in English instead of Mandarin then?
>>696763769Because the players chose and they didn't vote for you as their representative.
>>696763769>gacha slopAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA/v/ is the biggest bunch of casuals on the internet.
>>696763769Gacha games unironically bribe their players with ingame currency to flood these polls.
>>696825357You aren't a real-life time jannie.
>>696827593This is just called community-building, isn't it? Growing your fanbase, earning their trust an loyalty.You can do it by making good games.You can add to it by giving away gifts.You can add other incentives like making players participate in social media for extra points.There is nothing unfair about this if mihoyo developers are nicer to their players than you are towards your players.
>>696827593except genshin demonstrably never did that
>>696827781>creating a cult and disrupting event of actual and real videogames to pretend your slot machine is a real game>community-building>>696827803Liar.
>>696763683> 3 weeb shite games> 1 dlc> only 1 actual gameweebs are a fucking disease, boggles the mind space marine 2 isnt on there.
>>696827872That's only after the award is over.There was no voter rallying prior to the award.Secondly, Playstation awards are all ruled by dictatorship, not by votes.
>>696793325all 3 dark souls are better than everything else on that list.
>>696827872>Playstation Partners award>not a PUBLIC VOTE award
>>696765398>Those are the most-voted for entriesNo, those are hand picked entries that you can now vote for.
>>696827954They did this last year too, you retard. Are you familiar with cause and effect? Why are gachabugs this dishonest?
>>696827872>disrupting eventThey are participating, not disrupting.Just because they outnumber you doesn't mean they are there to disrupt you.
>>696828005>They did this last year too, you retardLast year was still a decision of dictatorship, not by vote.Reetard.
>>696827987>hand picked entriesHanpicked by 2 rounds of voting.
>>696827987>hand picked entries that you can now vote for.The previous round was also based on public votes, the eight contestants are ordered by vote count in the last phase (Wukong is first)
>>696763769ZZZ, WW and Genshin bribe their players by rewarding them with their game's respective premium currency if they get nominated and/or win.
>>696763683>its all gachaslopthis is why those shitty journo has the final call on GOTY
>>696763769Chinks. The answer is always chinks that spam vote for anything chinky
>>696799543Lmao you even took this from a gameplay video
>>696763683Why didn't Shart Fail come out?
>>696763683I love how the thread had the initial intent to shit on ff but then even here people agree how retarded this is because 3 of 5 games are gachas that have addicts spamming votes in order to get free stuff and the other one is a chinese game with billions of chinese voters.
>>696763683China won
>>696828614And the last one is a dlc, truly the most fucked group of games i've ever seen in this category.
>>696827872>literally mentioning 'all players' multiple times in xitter post>"rewards will be given to all players">illiterate nu /v/irgin said that it was a bribeIf that shit was a bribe then they will only gave the rewards to players who voted their game in game awards. If its universal where everyone got the rewards even without them voting on their game then its a simple thank you gesture for the players a.k.a. gratefulness in industryspeakDumb illiterate nigger
>>696829371Doesnt change his point, now this "thank you" became so ingrained in their behavior that this is why in every award you have gacha playerbases going "we need to make them win to get free stuff", regardless of them even thinking the game deserves or not. While other normal games dont do this. You dont see people voting for astro bot because they want dlc content or currency for free.
>>696763683>Players Voice is a 100% fan voted awardWhoa.... when did they start being based again?Doritos Pope kicked the journalists out for this.
>>696829514Also why a considerable part of mihoyo fans wanted a another gacha game being nominated too( honkai star rail). They just want free shit. At this point they should just make a mobile or gacha category in the popular awards.
>>696828201meanwhile other games:>pay $40-60 upfront>get nothing in return for voting or winningalso i thought you guys thought awards were stupid? suddenly they matter lmao?
>>696829514>"we need to make them win to get free stuff", regardless of them even thinking the game deserves or not.I think this is the worst problem, you will vote for it even if you're having a bad time with the game this year. Free stuff is always welcome.
So the year after Ghost of Tsushima won player's voice (which was still 100% player votes at the time), they made judges count 90% vote and player only count 10%.I'm suprised and pleased to see them change it back to 100% player votes this year. Doritos Pope is restoring faith in the Game Awards.
>>696829514When vidya got nominated or winning some award thing, the devs 'owed' some kind of content or thank you gesture to their players, hence why the terms 'Game of the Year Edition' exist (before it got bastardized by bethesda and ubishart for decades). Its no difference with online vidya, if you ever play games like csgo or unturned on steam, back then the devs used to gibs free stuff to player after they won something (case or skin giveaway on both games), its a fair and square thing, not a bribe at all. Its just happen that in gacha games the goodies that were given away was... in game currency
>>696829830I think he just wants engagement, at the end of the day this is not a category that matters very much. But doing 100% of it being player votes was also a mistake.
>>696829887I think certain people in the industry realize that gaming journalists are the ones who stopped mattering. So they took the power from them and gave it back to the gamers.Giving gaming journalists all that power in the first place was the mistake. That's why they vote for bullshit like Gone Home.
>>696830017Nice "power" back to gamers i'm seeing right now, this list ended being a joke everywhere. The only place that's probably praising them is the redddit of those mobile games.
>>696829830isn't player voice always a 100% fan vote? and GOTY itself is the 90/10 split
>>696829864I dont have an issue with them giving rewards, my problem is more about how in my opinion these games simply dont belong in the same category. A normal game will have people who bought it and will only vote for it if they really feel like they want toWhile a gacha game will have 10x the reach because it's "free", and then they can also make people vote for it even more if they say "we'll give you a xx amount of rolls." People will vote for it even if they think the game is garbage right now, as this post says >>696829813
>>696830082>Nice "power" back to gamers i'm seeing right now, this list ended being a joke everywhere. The only place that's probably praising them is the redddit of those mobile games.Like, idk what that guy meant but if there is one thing this list did was vindicate the doritos pope even more in doing a journo voted award event. Maybe that's geoff's big plan? lol
>>696830139but these gacha games are genuinely better than most Western AAA released recently.I picked up ZZZ and Darktide recently, guess which one I dropped because of slow updates and a complete disrespect of the time I spend on it?
>>696830139It would also just be funnier to make them fight each other. Want to give "stimulus" to your players? Ok, now go win against the other gacha game.
>>696830317> I picked up ZZZ and Darktide recently, guess which one I dropped because of slow updates and a complete disrespect of the time I spend on it?Darktide is honestly... boring after you finish the stages a few times. It's the same few stages on harder difficulity so it's lame.ZZZ has it's share of issues too. The grind to max a character is so slow and painful, also grinding the same HIA stages over and over and over is shit. Both are kinda garbage.Wuthering Waves has it's share of issues too but at least they let you waste 2x the resource to get double rewards so you have to farm a lot less.I might drop all 3 once Ananta comes out.
>>696830108it isit might surprise you but a lot of /v/ users are clinically retarded and just say shit without thinking
based on those options i kinda get why people say video games aren't art
>>696827781https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comps_(casino)
>>696763683All Chinese Gachas
>>696830714ZZZ has its fault, yea. But at least it's nice to look at and the combat is flashy. Also it doesn't make you spend hours on the grind every day so I prefer this rather than 8 hour sessions.Darktide is just shit. It's fucking ugly, the f2p tier grind is shit, maps are procedurally generated, and they still haven't fulfilled most of the launch promises. Genuinely miserable for a $40 game. I hope a nuke lands in Sweden because that country in general releases slop.
gacha niggers are fucking pathetic, at least you wont ever procreate
Next year all the fan vote choices will be bottled gachaslop from China or Korea
>>696830714Darktide was very good for reminding me how good Vermintide is
>>696763769
>>696831219>bottledtr00n copemake better games
>>696829830You are confusing two different categories here, nothing changed.- Game of the Year (and most awards): 90% jurors vote, 10% fan vote.- People’s Choice: it’s in the name, it is a 100% fan vote award.
>>696832130They genuinely can't>Halo Infinite - 500+ million USD>Destiny 2 - 500+ million USD>Starfield - 300+ million USD>Concord - 400+ million USD>Veilguard - 200-300+ million USD>Suicide Squad - 400+ million USD>Every recent Ubisoft game - at least 400 million USDAnd many more but it's not looking good.
>>696831219Are you admitting you can't compete against sexy time?
>>696766116BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
>>696765763lmao
[Tragic News] /v/ can't cope with the fact that Genshin never does or did bribe anyone for votes.Still, it won before so it shouldn't qualify
>>696830139Mihoyo (Genshin & ZZZ on this list) don't give out free shit for winning player-voted awards, only industry awards. They actually already announced the free shit they're giving away in each of their games before this voting even opened.
