>crimes against gamingwhich one will it be anons>ubisoft>dei>sonyI think Ubisoft takes the L this year hoping they actually sell out and we will never have to see their logo ever again in a video game
>>698175532It's always a really competitive award, unfortunately.

You might get lucky and remember something for a retro or all time award.>b-but I didn't play any games this yearDamn, ripparoni in pepperoni then.For me, it's this shit.
>>698180240Many PCchads didn't play it on Switch so VV was the first version of the game for them
>>698175039Reminder that Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth came out this year, complete with YongYea’s shitty voice acting. Requesting one of the categories to be “YongYea Award, for worst voice acting performance of the year.”Conversely, we can also have “Keith David Award, for best voice acting performance of the year.”
SH2R for GOTY

>>698178267This is /v/ we are talking about of course you should vote. You should vote them most.

Bump
MODS JUST STICKY THIS THREAD ALREADY GODDAMN
>>698208012No it's ok they don't have to lmao
>>698208052WHY
I shall bump with 2019, 2020, and 2021 awards
Is there realistically any other choice for goty than Dogma 2? I know how disappointing it was in retrospect, but 2024 was a seriously bad year for new releases. Feels like it wins by default
Starting with 2019's
WINE Award should be Brazil award, because most Brazilians played games through emulation, especially Nintendo games. Man, my childhood was good.
>>698175039me and the 12 other anons that actually care appreciate you guys.
>>698210614One for every day of the week
>>698208076About to dig into that christmas cake.
>>698212331wat
>>698212886I'm about to munch your mum's snatch, I mean, I'm about to wrap christmas presents.
>>698175152>No Salacious Fartbox award
>Nine_ten and the reddit staff still trying to shill this reddit crap hereYou will never be Japanese
Found out about the game marmoreal thanks to the vgas, thanks for that and the good work you all do.
>>698217501ok>>698217553thanks
>>698178267I just nominate for the best/worst visuals awards
>>698181726>favoriteFuri and Guns, Gore & Cannoli>LeastSilt, felt boring
How many awards will Concord get?
and now, 2020's
>>698175039Thanks I forgot to nominate UFO 50 for Best Aesthetics and Worst Gameplay
>>698220475Aesthetics award should be called SOVL, just so it isn't redundant.
>>698219435Definitely deserves Crimes Against Gaming. Not for the game itself, but for Sony lighting $400 million on fire and then fucking over anyone who actually bought it by pulling it from sale. They really devastated all 20 genuine fans of the game
>>698175532CONCORD
>>698181726>Favorite game this yearVisions of Mana, hands down. Mana hasn't had a good game in 20 years and to bring the band back together for a last hurrah could have gone seriously wrong, but they did everything they set out to do. May not be a perfect game, but it was a perfect sendoff for the series>Least favoriteUFO 50. Being dogshit or unfair on purpose still makes your game dogshit and unfair. Fuck the lore. I love the discussion over which games are good because nobody has the same top 5 but liking 5-10 still means I wasted my time on 40+ bullshit games expecting them to get better
>>698202536The CEO also did grifts on rare coins. Just hoovers shit up and expects to spin it later. Now he's actually got to run the company, poor sap
>>698180107Unironically this. How can I take this stupid award seriously if the actual best game released this year isn't on it because it's too niche for the casuals here?This place is not different than any other award show. Just normalfags being normalfags.
>>698224780You can still type it in manually, anon. That said, an expanded Director's Cut version of a game that already was Top 5 in Least Worst two years ago has a hell of a hill to climb
Gigantic: Rampage Edition for My Son Award.Seriously, what happened to this game? I got a laptop that can run it only to find out it's dead.
>>698203441>peopleit literally just one autist samefagging
you could have atleast post webm of older awards instead of still images.
Easy Boomerang award victory.
and finally, 2021's
>>698175039unironically looking forward to it, keep doing what you're doing and merry christmas
I don't watch the reddit awards since BG3 won last year and was glazed, despite provenly being a tencent marketing campaign this year.
>>698236689>GlazedLike I give a shit about what a retard zoomer thinks about anything.
>>698181726Terminator Dark Fate and Reverse Collapse. Both are great and both are very hard games.
>San Andreas was 20 years ago
