So, who wins goty?I honestly like both
A brutal sweep, I'm afraid.
Lol there is no good music in Skong meanwhile E33 has 33 great tracks.
E33Both good
>>720095843The white game, not the one with brownoid fanboys.
>>720095843 Honestly? Depends on how the juries vote vs the popularity war. Skong's got the spectacle, but E33 brought substance, tight design, and god-tier music. I’m leaning E33, but Skong might steal it just from sheer meme momentum. Either way, we win.
Silksong is nowhere near goty you hk cultist
>>720095843E33 because I was really excited for Silksong only to find out it’s a sequel to the game’s third ending and not the DLC ending with the interesting lore implications
GOTY is DK Bananza. Sorry nerds.
>>720095843Donkey Kong mogs both these shit games.

>>720098190>>Best Art Direction>>DS2 or Ghost of Yoteikek, will they really do this
>>720098280Probably deserved more by Silksong but it's an easy pity award so I can see it.
>>720098190Narrative is the only one I could see death stranding 2 taking.
Can Silksong really win anything with how disliked by journos it is? Hell, as a 2D metroidvania, can the majority of journos not even from "gaming magazines", beat a few bosses?
Death Stranding 2
>>720095843Who cares? We got two great games, who gives a shit about Geoff's Industry Circlejerk Hour
>>720099054Journos shat all over Elden Ring because "muh UX" and it still won
Silksong isn't going to win anything. It's too hard, too annoying, and too flawed in terms of design. And, no, just because a bunch of autistic homos on /v/ like it because it's difficult doesn't mean anyone's going to give it awards for anything.
DK DRANNY KONG
>>720095843Bananza. Or Mario kart.
>>720095843E33 will win cause it's more "mature" and artsy
>>720099187There isn't an image large enough to accurately portray how hard you're seething
Fact: These gay games are overhyped by PCkeks because they don't have access to DK Bananza nor Death Stranding 2. End of fact.
>>720099180>muh UXbut they are right, the UI is garbage on purpose. It's part of the artificial difficulty.
>>720099290You lost nearly 4 years ago now, troon
>>720095843i don't care as long as it isn't e33. those fags are insufferable
>>720096926spanish is European coded.Cope
>>720099319>troonkek, troons are the ones who are obsessed with the game.
>>720096926mexibros, our response?
>>720097828>he hasn't finished act 3
A sidescrolling flash game should not win GOTY, and this coming from someone who enjoyed Hollow Knight. I haven’t played Silksong, but I gather it’s basically the same game with a different character. And that’s fine, but I’m in no rush to play if. I’ll knock it out in the next few years or something.Expedition 33, meanwhile, was original and truly just a beautiful game. It has to win.
>>720098682Silksong doesn't look good to begin with, it's really simplistic and the animations are stiff as shit, older flash games mog it like Castle crashers
>>720099262Seething at what? A shit game with a review score that is plummeting?Chill out, fat boy.
>>720098810Not really, if we're taking about "the game awards". Dead eyes won't leave his boyfriend Kojima GOTYless.
>caring about game of the year>reading reviews from shitters that don't even 100% the gamesdon't care
>>720099269odyssey didn't win, odyssey 2 isn't going to win
>>720095843it should go to E33but I could see the industry compel the Dorito Pope to give it to Silksongnot because they're thrilled about any indie winning, but they're much more threatened by E33, and Silksong will at least keep the calls of rigged to a minimum
>>720099231>Mario kartStop taking drugs.
>>720099607OK but guess what? Another Nintendo game, Breath of the Wild (ever heard of it?), did win that year...
>>720099231Both are crap, anon. Unless we're talking about the "family games" category, then they're the iPhone of vidya, can't lose there.
>>720099456>I haven’t played SilksongThen shut up.
>>720095843Expedition I think. Not based on preference, it just seems like an easier goty choice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kMbTzomh94&list=RD3kMbTzomh94&start_radio=1Sandfall could have released this one OST with no game attached to it and it would still deserve to win GOTY over any of the other releases this year
>>720099682botw isn't a candidate this year
>>720099325That's quite unfortunate for you because there is no serious competition
>>720095843ninja gaiden 4
I don't understand how people can say DS2- it is such a failure to iterate on the concepts that made the first game enjoyable. It is bloated and had all the challenge drained out of it. It's really lacking in the emergent moments. You are given a gorillian tools with zero reason to use two thirds of them. Introduces better stealth and cool extraction missions only for you to be blueballed because failure is treated so softly in this game that stealth at all is almost completely pointless except the one time they have a hostageGod im mad. It's just so obviously bad from a design perspective and Kojima cares so much about his metascore that he's afraid to challenge the player anymore
Even if something like BG3 came out this year, E33 might still win.With pathetic "competition" like midsong and death slopping? It's a guaranteed sweep.
>>720098059does not hold a candle to Une vie a taimerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kMbTzomh94
>>720100106Because it's game of the YEAR not game of if it's better than DS1
Expedition 33:>fantastic story, art direction, music>shit gameplaySilksong:>good gameplayThe answer is clear.
>>720095843Whichever one gets better reviews.

I just hope that Blue Prince does not win the best indie game or w/e because of how much of my fucking time it aggressively wasted
>>720100210>2D git gud autism with none of the mechanical depth of dark souls>good gameplay
>>720095843Both are garbage jewish propaganda

>>720100315The instrumental version still mogs anything from Silksong's OST which is just a simplified Ori OSThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWate4IdV7M&list=RDOWate4IdV7M&start_radio=1
>>720100352Everyone would be hyped for Kojima
>>720100554It being in 3D and with builds and weapons makes it instantly deeper than HK
Is DLC even eligible for GOTY? Either way, people will forget about the HK DLC in a week or so, E33 is a lock.
>>720095843E33, SS is good but not E33 good.
>>720095843if you care about gameplay, it's undoubtedly Silksong. Too bad modern /v/ loves movie games.
>>720099749Nigga, you're acting like it's a whole different game, it's HK BUT WORSE SOMEHOW.t. act3fag

>>720095843Silksong will get Indie of the YearExpedition will win Game of the Yearthat's literally what's going to happen
>>720095843Hollow Knight had more merits to win GOTY in 2017 than Silksong winning GOTY this year.Silksong is a step down to a beloved game while Expedition 33 is a new IP from a new studio that put the AAA industry to shame.
>>720101021no matter how bad Silksong's gameplay is, it's still better than jarpig "gameplay", literally a movie with some parry spreadsheet action

>>720101579Yes it does
You have to be kidding me.Silksong is a NEWGROUNDS FLASH GAME and you guys act like it's a master piece. I seriously can't tell if it's all ironic shitposting or not.
>>720101614Explain why it looks good, it just looks like badly drawn sketches by a 5 year old to me
>>720101640Post one (1) NEWGROUNDS FLASH GAME that looks nearly as good. I'll wait.
>>720101640You have literally never played a Newgrounds flash game
>>720101613I played the gay bear game, it's combat doesn't come close to E33I doubt you could even run it
>>720099580This
>>720101656>simple artstyle = kid scribblesGo to bed dude
>>720095843Silksong is too hard for the bandwagoners,E33 will clear
>>720101640don't hurt rabid fanboy feefees
>>720101582The game came out late April and there were threads on 24/7 for months, you retarded faggot. The only logical reason the game is unknown to you is because you just found this heckin' wholesome website on Ticktock or whatever within the past few weeks.
>>720101679>>720101680https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZCno8U4CPQ
>>720095843One game you play as a bug doing something bug related. The other you play as Frenchmen trying to kill the demiurge to continue your cursed existence. My money is on the Frenchmen for the pretentiousness of it all. Or maybe someone nominates Veilguard and it wins shocking everyone. That would be amusing to see just for the stupidity of it all.
>>720101775Ok, now post one that looks nearly as good. I'll wait.
>>720101739Behemoth games are an example of energetic soulful cartoon artstyles, HK looks like shit in comparison, it's badly animated and the characters are mostly just floating orbs with eyes
>>720101714ok buddy, if I want a parryslop, I would play Sekiro
No one ever liked this Soulslop trash. Muh no story, muh cryptic dialogue and weird NPCS, my go out there and do whatever for zero reason. Only "le deep" plebbitors like this trash. Same people who watch 3 hour long Youtube videos about Elden Shit lore.
>>720095843pirate yakzua in hawaii
>>720101841dude the animation quality is identical, the only difference is art-style. you guys are jerking off a fucking newgrounds game when it's just a shitty metroidvania. you lust after and sexualize a fucking beetle, I'm not taking your opinion seriously.
>>720101868And if i wanted to retrieve my currency i would rather play a fromsoftware game instead of hollow knight
>>720097681>but E33 brought substance, tight designI just cannot take this shit board seriously, even when I know they're being completely serious, and only hide behind irony and hyperbole to mask their shallow values and opinions.I gotta get out lel
>>720095843E33>>720098190>best performanceis Serkis eligible? He mogs everyone else even though Renoir's role was small.
>>720099889Broche better suck Testard's fucking dick for turning his 7/10 game into a 10/10.
>>720101523>I-i-it's just the chinks, PC Gamer says so!I can't even fathom how much of a worthless piece of shit you'd need to be to think this. Silksong is being massacred everywhere. But, no, of course, it's just Zhang. I'm glad that you browns are enjoying yourselves, but it's never, ever, ever going to be even close to GOTY.
>>720095843e33 obviously silksucc is the ds2 of hollowlikes
>>720101383why do you have chinese reviews enabled?i get that you're probably a mobileposter who is out of date, but you only see review scores for languages you enabled
>>720100761Movie games were rightfully shat on because they were made by pretentious hacks that had failed to make it into the movie/tv industry and went to video games where their drivel was accepted. Consequently, they had no interest in gameplay, and proceeded to deliver the worst of both fields. E33 shows us what movie games can be: a game with good gameplay and writing that actually stands out as unusually good among video games.
>>720099319A game can win GOTY and still not be perfect, you know that right?
>>720101970You can tell a disabled mentally stunted manchild made this.
Randy Pitchford is gonna bury all of you troons LMAO
>>720102248t.
>>720095843I like both too. As long as AAAslop gets rolled I don’t mind.
>>720102172my politically independent wife..
>>720102248Alicia made this?
>>720102172The Sony movie games that got shit on all have good gameplay like TLOU, Uncharted, GoW,...You cannot seriously tell me that E33 has better gameplay than GoW
>>720095843>one game is ACTUALLY original enough, cool battle system, concept, the art, atmosphere, music, cool story with many twists and depths.>the other game is some fucking bug game DLC continuation with mostly the same crap as its predecessorWTF do you think ya goddamn faggot?!
The Agincourt of our time
>>720100032BAAASED!!...but sadly never ever lol
>>720102494>tlouthis was fine>unchartedthese games were fun>nuGoW>good gameplayIt's ten steps backwards from the original series and full of nigger vikings, opinion discarded.
>>720099290'artificial difficulty'. Opinion discarded.
>>720102556This but without overselling E33 or underselling SS. SS is a great action game but E33 is something pretty novel, there's a reason so many people are talking about it. Silksong wasn't a risk, it was giving HK fans more of what they wanted. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, it's actually something very good that big companies refuse to do for some reason. E33 meanwhile had a lot of ambition, and for all its flaws (I'm not going to pretend it's a perfect game) people were extremely impressed by it (indians will disagree). E33 is just a bigger deal
>>720102663I love how this makes fromfags seethe
>>720099187/v/ doesn't even like it. /v/ just shills it because they don't want DS2/E33 to win.
>>720102494E33's parrysloppa just works unlike Shitkiro's.In Shitkiro if you fail the parry sloppa you die and you have to walk for 2 minutes from the last bonfire you lit, you die in E33, it's fine because you have 2 more party members so they can just be revived.It's the first parrysloppa that is actually playable and fun
>>720102150He's from India.
>>720095843I'm gonna say something controversial by /v/tard standards.They both deserve to win GOTY
>>720102087Actual mental illness
>>720102494>sony movie games>good gameplayLolLmao Retard
>>720095843E33 no question is a better game but silksong gets to sweep for 8 years of hype. it's mostly worse than hollow knight though. the bosses are better but the basic enemies are largely just worse in every way. it feels like it was designed by someone who thought flea men in SOTN were the pinnacle of encounter design
>>720101640They're the same underage brown furry retards from the Undertale fanbase.
>>720102850>silksong gets to sweep for 8 years of hypeDidn't work for Deltarune, won't work for bugfuckers either
No so fast indiefagsI really like E33, silksong is good but it's fallen for the same trap 2D metroid did after super; diminished exploration in favor of action elements. Original HK is better because of that
>>720102124Silksong just like DS2 is better than its predecessor correct.
>>720095843People will still be talking about Silksong 5 years from now. No one will be talking about E33 5 years form now.
>>720099054Journos love Silksong, wtf are u talking about. It's the perfect millennial indie HECKfest full of body positive gender-neutral art design.
Fromtroons are shilling Silkshit hard. E33>>>>Shitkiro and Shart Souls
>>720102789Your gay metroidvania landed with a thud, Sanjeev. Shilling it even harder won't change that.
>>720101206>Silksong is a step down to a beloved gameDead fucking wrong. Silksong is an upgrade to HK in every conceivable way.You were just filtered by Ants and are afraid to admit it.
>>720102984brother people wouldn't have been talking about silksong a year after hollow knight if it came out within six months. people will be talking about it as an anthropological fascination in game design sure, but that's about it
>>720103252Nah Silksong is straight up the greatest Metroidvania ever made once you get over that difficulty spike early. E33 is great don't get me wrong but its too damn short. Silksong meanwhile as a masterpiece of the genre thats filled to the brim with content its just a game that demands a lot from the player.
>>720103364>Nah Silksong is straight up the greatest Metroidvania ever madeI cannot even fathom the brain worms you would need to have to declare this three days after launch, even as the review average keeps dropping. Do you have down's syndrome or something anon?
>>720103364If you didn't beat Simon you can't say shit about E33 being "too short"
>>720103415You mean the negative reviews that are just "GAME IS HARD" lmao. Irrelevant. Also the Metacritic user score is high, and the steam score is steadily increasing again.
>>720103415It's an easy claim to make, Silksong is better than HK which stood unchallenged on top of all Metroidvanias
who care lmao
>>720102626>It's ten steps backwards from the original series and full of nigger vikingsLike what?we're talking about gameplay, being woke or not doesn't matter >>720102724the reason E33 looks novel because Japs are so bad at making RPG. In fact, J"RPG" games are not even RPG, there's barely anything to roleplay. If you can make a decent game, it's probably better than every JRPG in existence
>>720103552>People refunding the game enough to change the review score is 'irrelevant'Get one of the nurses to put a bib on you anon, you are dribbling shit all over yourself.
whomsoever wins is a loss for we gamers
>>720096926>the Ubisoft nepobaby is paying bots to downvote the competition

>>720103908The game is boring and you are a nigger faggot.

>>720095843I hope it's not Ghost of Wokei.
Someone is actually paying Mexicans to spam negative reviews of Silksong while giving E33 perfect scores rumao. This is beyond pathetic.https://www.metacritic.com/user/firedor/?sort-options=date

It's funny that not only does Khazan share s many similarities with Nioh mechanically, it also shares the fact that people slept on it despite it being beyond a doubt the best action RPG to release in 2005
>>720095843Silksong can't win because it's too hard for journalists to play
silksong pissed off journalists and is filtering millions so obviously kino33 is gonna win by default
>>72010422590% of E33 posters are paid shills. You an tell because they have nothing meaningful to say.

>>720104513>The other's 50+ hours for $50They're both consumer-friendly.
>>720104819Haven't played Silksong but I think Hollow Knight fares pretty well against some of the best Metroid and Castlevania games. People treat it as a holy grail which is crazy, but it's a top tier Metroidvania anyway.
>>720104952I kinda fuckin hate HK, and Silksong has a lot of really annoying shit, but it elevates itself over Hollow Knight by nature of having a player character that is fun to move. HK is just so woefully basic in every way, while also doing annoying shit.

>>720104928how many black people are in or worked on E33 though?Silksong is 3 white men, and 100% native bugs. zero ebonics.
>>720095843e33 sucks and all the music sucks. Silksong and e33 both lose to yotei because geoff needs snoy bucks.
>>720105636Literally just a painfully generic JRPG but without the panty shots.
I don't know why people care about GOTY
>>720095843silksong is fun metroidslop but shouldnt be goty
>>720105926At some point Emilia Pérez was the favorite to win the Oscars.
>>720104873huh?
>>720106205there's not a lot of movement right now in the chances, E33 has actually continued to increase with timeSilksong might be too hard for game journalists to be honest, a game with lots of cutscenes like E33 is probably more their style
>>720106094One of the early extras is Black and one of the main characters is an Chinkess, although she is technically not even a real human so I don't know if that really counts.
>>720106094some admittedly swarthy french and one chink
>>720106268If the journalists praise Silksong it will become the favorite to win. But they are largely in the pocket of Big AAA so they might purposefully shit on an actual indie game.
>>720095843I'm liking Silksong more so far. Fizzled out on E33 right before the end, but I still loved it. I'll be upset if neither of them end up winning. Great year for indiesI wish AAA games were still colossi that pushed boundaries and actually felt next-gen
>>720100481/thread
>>720106323E33 winning GOTY before the lead dev is revealed as a sexual harasser would be poetic.
GOTY is your choice. You don't need journalists to tell you which is better
>>720106351Big companies 100% pay indians to shit on competitor games. >>720104329They're in ever E33 thread, I don't go into SS threads and I doubt there's enough overlap in playerbase between the two games for many educated opinions on which is the better game. Mostly just brand loyalists and jeet shills stirring up shit. There's no reason for e33 and SS's fanbases to be at odds.
>>720106094>Silksong is 3 white men, and 100% native bugs. zero ebonics.jewish menand the game is all about feminism with a nigger main character
>>720106323>swarthy frenchProbably Italians.
>>720095843They both will. There are hundreds of publications that each give out awards.
>>720106525>There's no reason for e33 and SS's fanbases to be at odds.They appeal to different audiences tho. Like long term no one would care but there can only be one goty winner.
>>720106626So what? Why do the fanbases have to bicker with one another because of an award that most people don't give a shit about? The arguing is so deranged that it feels like the usual suspects shitting on both games to create drama. I like E33 and didn't play silksong, why would I comment on SS?

>>720095843There is no such thing as a good rpg

>>720098190you nailed this shit 100%. put money on it
Silksong wins.
>>720098190>Nintnedo relegated to the family category againKWAB
>>720095843e33 getting goty would mean the industry is in the saddest state possible. Hyping a game that's just good and solid (with pretentious mid plot) up to goty means there aren't masterpiece-tier games in 2025.
>>720095843I'd rather Silksong win. It's handcrafted and made with passion, unlike E33.But honestly I think E33 will win because Timmy is too invested in getting a win for UE5 so he'll make that win happen no matter what.
>>720095843so fucking lame why is it always this pretentious shiti guess the idea of a GAME OF THE YEAR award is a little nose in the ear in of itselfbut goddamnalways some 20 plus hour slog snoozefestbacktrack simulator or turn based zzz
>>720109262Silksong is glorified dlc
>>720109632>plays with a different set of moves>all new areas (and there are 1.3 times as many of them), all new enemies>DLCIt's not even an expansion pack, it's just a straight up sequel
>>720109739It's expansion like BW is to starcraft or Dark Crusade is to DOW. The base game and the hard technical stuff is already done, now you just add content.
>>720095843Neither of those.>Pretentious French take on Final Fantasy>Zoomer FOMO flavor of the month that retards prop up on a pedestal
>>720109895Brood War still plays like Starcraft to a far greater extent than Silksong plays like Hollow Knight.
>>720110073Hollow Knight is came out in 2017 and people still talk about it, Silksong isn't flavor of the month no matter how badly it filters you

Ender Magnolia is better than Silksong. Didn't play Expedition 33 because I hear it has twitch reflex shit that has no place in an rpg.
Stop giving credibility to journo-fascism. GotY is not an award decided by a committee it's a description.
>>720113354LOL
>>720109262>pajeets hate E33We know
Translation is such a stupid strawman. Game has no story, nor should it.
>>720095843geoff's panel of trannies will vote for E33 like they did for astro flop
>>720095843I don't think either game is that good.They are both derivitive works. Silksong is a super metroid clone. E33 is a peper mario clone. Neither add new or interesting gameplay elements. Both are liked because they are hard and visually pleasing.
>>720098059Clockwork core is probably my favorite theme. Widow has my favorite boss theme.
>>720104952My singular issue with HK is that once you hit late game there is nothing to spend money on. Everything else about it is perfect, but specifically the hit feedback. I've only really played Castlevania 1 and Super Metroid for 'vanias but but felt like shit combat wise and I didn't even finish Super Metroid because of that and I got lost.
>>720101613>vie gameE33 is barely cinematics retard. Most scenes are short.
>>720099180That wasn't journos, it was a handful Horizon developers iirc. Journos are head over heels for Elden Ring across the board.

>>720117308looks like they had 68% on the right answer?
>>720117308So the majority was correct? Really makes you think.
>>720117308>look at what they thought happened last yearthat none of those named is going to win goty and then none of those named won goty?
>>720117308only 15 people bet on that market, might have been a private onethis one had 113 and had astro bot at 80% before goty was announced too, so even more accurate than the tiny market that gave it 68%https://manifold.markets/strutheo/which-game-will-win-game-of-the-yea-doutfdj57t
>>720100465>>720100637silksong has absolutely nothing even remotely comparable to dark souls, you should try playing it sometimeIts like saying having to actually dodge hitboxes and work hard for your heals makes silksong deeperalso SS middle-lategame has far trickier normal areas. souls normal encounters are a joke ever since after ds1 and ds2
If it were up to me, it'd be Nightreign. Only game this year I've wanted to put more than 100 hours on (I'm at 761.2 hours, although I did basically quit a few weeks ago I expect to come back for the new patch/DLC this week). Second choice might be Abiotic Factor which was so good after a single playthrough I had to convince my friends to give it a go and just started it again. E33 I couldn't tolerate for more than a few hours and I haven't bothered with Silksong at all yet. Hollow Knight was good but not THAT good, I never even went back for the post-launch content. Maybe I'll play Silksong when I really feel the need for a metroidvania, but not now.My prediction would be E33 because Silksong seems to be disappointing a fair percentage of its audience.
If E33 didn't come out then Silksong would've won. Would've been nice for Team Cherry but E33 deserves it more
>>720116697>Bananzakek, tendies are really that delusional?
>>720117308>>720117429No one could've predicted Astroturfed would've won anything, but because snoys never played a single Mario game in their lives, they were easily impressed.
>>720117457>E33 deserves it moreIt doesn't, E33 is a piece of shit with terrible "press parry to awesome" gameplay
I do not care what the videogame news sites got paid to shill as goty.I want to know what is YOUR favourite or most impressive game that you played this year.For me it's Avowed and Snailshock.
>>720117547Nah you're obviously a biased hater and I hope you heal soon, brother.
>>720095843Can't say I have much of an interest in either. I guess I hope E33 wins since at the end of the day it's a new IP and Silksong is just DLC.
>>720117554Mine isn't even out yet, Titanic Scion was pretty disappointing to me so far, basically the ONLY things I'm looking forward to are the new Bloodstained game and pic rel>>720117591I'm not biased, I played and 100% the game and genuinely slowly realized the game was just shit. I'm not gonna claim I don't know why people like it, but it's not well designed at all. All people do is talk about the gay ending, which doesn't matter, and the cheapness of its graphics in various areas is just extremely off-putting to me. It technically looks good, but it has faux artistry that will only impress normal fags
I've been a gamer for 35 years now and E33 is one of the best games I've ever played. Up there with final fantasy at its peak.Silksong is something you would see on the newgrounds front page in 2007.They aren't a match.
>>720117779What fucking "Faux artistry", what do you even mean by that? You're essentially just calling it pretentious.
>>720098190A reasonable prediction

>>720098190>Ghost of YoteiIs Yotei even going to be released this year?
Look at it this way:Silksong is loved by trainnies and the LGBTQ community due to their "non-binary" nonsense and having gay couples or whatever.E33 has only white people as playable party members.
>>720118735It doesn't matter.
>>720118479>Game direction>Its a mix of walking sim and a B tier movie footage.
>>720099889its a good track, but its not the best one in the catalog.
>>720095843Expedition win because silksong is merely a sequel
>>720118953Globu is my favourite.
>>720119506Based. Same. I love the fact the Globu badass boss theme plays in that one superboss fight in the ocean. (Also with Grosse Tete lol)I was very pleased to hear that again

>>720095843Black Souls (Steam)
>>720118964its also just the better game
>>720117441silksong isn't disappointing it's audience, it's disappointing new players who jumped on the hype train without realizing that they would be playing an actual video game and not a movie game

sorry bros, silksong takes it
So what is the game on the right and why is it worth playing?
>>720123567it's literally better than xenogears, it's the best jrpg ever created
>>720123625completely bullshit, Xenogears blows this trash out of the water even in the gameplay department. >>720123567Overhyped, astroturfed dogshit made by an Ubisoft nepobaby, enjoyed only by slop eaters who don't know why JRPGs are actually good in the first place
>>720095843>leftGAME of the year>rightSLOP for journos
>>720095843Silksong is more deserving, it's the better game and more popular. But it's an indie game, they sold it way under usual market price and provided no review copies to journosSo they will give it to the corposlop who towed the industry line instead
>>720123625It's not the best but it's certainly better than that unfinished game, not a super high bar.

>>720109895>>720110735>referencing brood war in 2025lol. Also, broodwar literally just added like six units and a few tilesets. Maybe some upgrades for units too?
Silksong is too difficult and niche to win GOTY, being a 2D game also puts it at a disadvantage, meanwhile every woman on the jury will be sucking E33's dick, it's gonna win 100% while Silksong takes best indie game.
>>720117308To be fair, "none of the above" qualifies as AstroBot.Rebirth at 15% is far less ridiculous than Wukong. The amount of people gassing that game up was absurd.
E33 shooters calling Silksong a tranny game has some good irony to it

E33 was a boring faggot game full of cutscenes that I didn't care about, a stupid ass story, dumb characters, bland UE-basic style designs, and turn based combat. Literally nothing about it is good and the music is generic and lame as fuck.I never played Silksong and probably never will since I didn't bother finishing Hollowknight. If you're curious, I would consider Red Alert 2 to be GOTY.
It's really funny how most of the E33 shilling was happening in this thread shortly after SEA wakes up and got progressively less biased in the last few hours when all the non third world eastern countries got started for the day

Silksong has a mixed reception. Expedition 33's is all positive. Expedition 33 will easily win it and I wouldn't be surprised if Silksong doesn't even get a GOTY nomination.
Man what a shitty year for gaming it's been.
>>720135153there are as many people whining about silksong's difficulty as there were about e33's parry windows"gamers" really hate playing video games
