Silksong is so much more deserved of GOTY than Expedition 33 and it's going to be sad to see it go to Clair Obscur for no other reason than it having a fake-kino story.
>>720681359Donkey Kong will win.
Can't it not be a GotY because it's not a Game but DLC?
>>720681359This shit doesn't even deserve good reviews. Its entire reception is based on hype.
>>720681359Brown esl retard
>>720681786I wish. But no, those other two turds will get it. DK will get the best family game award at most, despite being better than those other meme games.
>>720681359Silksong's an 8.5 at best, and was only hyped up due to its autistic fanbase memes over the past several years.So no, I think the first game from a new studio that dropped out of nowhere and blew everyone's minds might deserve it more.
>>720681359theres no way for silksong to win gotyits decided primarily by journos>no review copies>game filters journos so hard in their usual goals, they severily struggle to get content out for views and severily struggle to put out guides, get completely outpaced by actual players>game too long to be finished by people who barely actually play games
>>720681359>Silksong is so much more deserved of GOTY than Expedition 33Silksong is all hype, no substance. Even most of the people who hyped it up for a decade (due to mental illness) are disappointed by it.
If E33 is fake-kino, then Silksong is fake-ludo.
>>720681786
>>720681962Bananza sucked chunky shit through a straw. Get some taste.
>>720681359GOTY award is a normie goyslave award it would be a disservice to Silksong to be picked as such.
>>720682450Hate to break it you anon, Silksong is "normie goyslave" tier already.
>not even on the top 3Kojimabros...
>>720681359Silksong is my GOTY but it is not winning over E33. Silksong is too difficult for the majority of the people and people were hyping it up so much that it was never going to meet their expectations. E33 is just more accessible and it will win for that reason alone
>>720682619To be fair, there's a lot of autistic bias against console exclusives. Only reason Astrobot won last year was because Metaphor Refantazio was so bad.
>>720682553Nah it died down hard after the flavor of the month bandwagon normies found out how hard it is.
>>720681359Both are great. No more gamer wars.
>>720681359>2D slopno thanks
>>720681359>QTE slopno thanks
>>720681359Silksong is just Hollow Knight again. E33 is something actually new
>>720682831>Both are greatSilsong is not "great".Great games don't get mathematically eliminated from winning 3 months before the awards show.
>>720682619>that colossal spike on diddy party bonanza release date>collapse when people started playing itlmao
>>720681786i mean, it was a good game, but come on nowit's nowhere near as good as the games in OP and you know it (assuming you actually played all 3)
>>720681359Personally out of the few games I've played this year, I'd vote for Wuchang (at least before the censor patch -- haven't played it since then) but I think E33 is the better game even if it is poorly balanced in favor of the player.
E33 brought back the overworld. I love overworlds in RPGs. I hope it wins just for that.
>>720683208>Historical figures just get up and congratulate you instead of dyingGenuinely the funniest censor patch to exist
>>720681359kill yourself
So I'm the only person on /v/ who genuinely liked E33? Wouldn't be the only time (especially this year) when /v/ unanimously hates a game I liked.
>>720681359it controls like shit and the style is mid afwhy are midwit gamers like this bros
>>720683345I like E33 but it wasn't the best turn based rpg I've ever played. And it's so ridiculously easy to break too. Silksong is my GOTY but E33 will probably win
>>720683317>/v/ unanimously hates a gameNo such thing. Most of those "people" didn't even play it.It released during the hack so it only got threads a week or so after that, which were active and positive, only when it started picking up good word of mouth did parasitic shitposters descend like locusts.
>>720683345Yep. You are the only one. No one else in the thread likes it. Also, I couldn't read until your post.
>>720681359no it's not lol
>>720683002>actually this peak of humanity athlete isn't "great" because he only got silver in the Olympics
>>720683462>And it's so ridiculously easy to break tooHonestly one of my least favourite aspects. It's so easy to deal a gorillion damage and trivialize the game in Act 3
I've been waiting years for Silksong and it is NOT GOTY material.
>>720683653You can easily break it after you get Medulum for Maelle. Act 3 is just letting you go wild instead of hard capping your damage
>>720683208I've finished Wuchang, but I don't think it's a very good game. There are enemies that will just ignore the game's rules sometimes and not get staggered or just hyper armor through your attacks
>>720683612>silksong is gonna get 2nd placeBWAHAHAHA!
I've played a game like Silksong before its called Hollow Knight. If there is another turn based rpg with parry and dodging mechanics and each character has its own unique mechanics and meters to work with i would love to hear about it. Right now Expedition 33 is something i've never experienced before but Silksong is an extended DLC to a game i played 7 years ago and feels exactly like that.
>>720683345Lots of people liked it. Its just barry shifting his goals from FFXV vs FFXVI to FF7Rebirth vs E33. Gotta go down with the brand loyalty ship you know?
>>720683612No it's like saying someone who jobbed out in the olympic qualifiers is better than the guy that won the gold
>>720683853Do you have an example of that? Are you sure you're not confusing intentionally designing the enemies to not stagger to basic attacks with "ignoring the rules"?
>>720681786I know you're just joking but its pretty amazing to me there are people out there so ass blasted over E33 they chose Donkey Kong of all things.
>>720681359Love the game but act 3 sucks outside of the final boss and the Spanish ballerinaExpedition 33 has no bad boss or zone
>>720681359I really loved Expedition 33's story until the last ten minutes or so. Which I thought was a bullshit final choice for the sake of being divisive.
>>720684993The game is literally called Claire Obscure, from the italian "chiaroscuro", the extreme contrast between light and dark. Its telling you exactly what it is on the cover. To use contrast to shape mood. Not give a good and evil path like its Sonic Adventure 2.
>>720684702Demon of Obsession can tank pretty much any longsword attack without getting staggered and filling the bar doesn't make her vulnerableI had to switch to the axe for that fight because I couldn't interrupt her
>>720685271Okay. I still think that over 90% of the game is successfully dedicated to making me care about one thing, and then the finale is dedicated to telling me to shut up and care about something else.
>>720684827 Oh so the same problem e33 has. The end game is piss easy because how dare you not bee line straight to renoir after beating the monolith. This is an incredibly common complaint.
>>720681359KCD2 should win, the only good game out this year.
I understand fans of Hollow Knight holding out for Silksong and being excited over it, but how the hell did the sequel to a derivative indie game become Half-Life 3 for zoomers?
Silksong js a much better game than E33. More meaningful content, higher difficulty, more gameplay depth, more skill expression, etc.E33 is just you mid game with your average genre fiction story, but the average gamer is so uneducated they barely know about good genre fiction (R.A. Lafferty, Clark Ashton Smith, Mervyn Peake, etc.), to say nothing of good literature, so they hype up the absolute bottom of the barrel trash.
>>720686326Silksong is gay and has shit flash game tier graphics.
>>720681359People who likes these games barely overlap and don't fight with each other, your attempts to stir shit are as blatant as your smell, ranjeet.
>>720681359Who gives a shit? GOTY is a corporate-controlled scam. Stop thinking about it, retard.
>>720681962>>720681786i know these posts are mostly fake but it's alarming that some people really think that way and are allowed to participate in society
>>720681359Nah. Ghost of Yotei (GoY) will sweep because the "journalist" voting panels will want to smugly prop up the woke actress and message. They also have recency bias and it'll be the game that's the most fresh in their pea-brained minds. Reminder that a forgettable Dragon Age game won GotY.
>>720685697I think you might just be mad that you didn't get the good escapist ending you wanted. The whole last act I was wondering if the painting would be saved or if Maelle would grow up and come out, so the choice made perfect sense. My only criticism is that it was presented as a dialog box followed by an autowin battle, which spoiled the mood a bit. Even though I sympathized with the Maelle and her gaggle of fakes they did a good job setting up the dilemma and I'm glad they kept both endings grounded and didn't give Maellefags the satisfaction of ignoring the consequences of clinging to a fantasy.
>>720683074it's way better than those games that do nothing innovative or original
>>720685697
>>720687223>innovative or original>nintendoCan't wait for super mario 20, donkey kong 12, and mario kart 11
>>720681359Ender Magnolia is so much more deserving to be the metroidvania of the year than sneedsong
>>720684827>the Spanish ballerinafirst time hearing about this character, do i have to go into dev mode and find it outside of the map?
>>720687513why
>>720687754Better art, better combat, better music, better gameplay, actually understands what metroidvanias are.
Actually, they should give GOTY to Reverse Collapse as repentance for not giving it GOTY last year.
>>720681359Silksong lacks the SOVL of Hollow Knight and I don't even like HK that much
>>720687850>Better artsorry but puppet animation looks shit, even worse than HK's flash visuals
>>720682056also>indiethose never win the big corpo award
>>720681359Silksong filtered the normgroids and e33 is just an oscar bait jrpg with party slop so journos and retards ate it up
>>720687940Everything looks better than Cherry's below average flash art style, you are insane or have shit taste
>>720687679it's the ant queen. Easily the best boss in the game. But I thought all the Act 3 bosses were great. The Cuphead boss and the Coral gauntlet were both great.
>>720688039oh its tranime so thats why you like it
>>720688039is this supposed to look good? lol
>>720681359I love Silksong but it's not better than E33
>>720688163e33 isn’t even good though
SS is a better game than E33, but E33 should win because it's a new ip, had a larger cultural impact, and was somewhat novel in its design vs a bogstandard metroidvania.
>>720681359>Silksong is so much more deserved of GOTY than Expedition 33Nah.
The game's too long. I'm 35 hours in, halfway act 2, and it has already overstayed its welcome.
>>720681359I hate that they're up against each other for GOTY. Wish Silksong had come out next year.
>>720688240>SS is a better game than E33Wrong
>>720684507How is saying "both are great" anything like that?
>>720688240>SS is a better game than E33it's just a boring slow indie platformer that is also long, i could play 10 fun platformers instead of cherry's boring slop.Meanwhile E33 is one of it's kind
>>720688039yeah see their poses look really stiff and awkward because of the animaiton style. I'm not a fan of tweening in general so I could never get past that
>>720688389>>720688434e33 sloppers seething
>>720688434and E33 is just a french jrpg, compelling assertions
>>720688512>and E33 is just a french jrpgAnd that is fucking coolmuch better than a run of the mill indiesloppa
Why not post the actual GoTY?
>>720681359shitsong is utter tripe and it sickens me to my soul that shills like you will defend this pretentious garbage. There is literally nothing unique special or quality about shitsong it is purely meme scam
>>720681786lmao geoff keighley hates nintendo. it's not going to happen
>>720688605>And that is fucking coolmaybe if you’re a tranny
>>720688442nigga 2D art doesn't get more stiff and bland than HK, most enemies are either floating bubbles or have black noodle arms
>>720681359Silksong isn't even the best metroidvania this year.
>>720688720you don't want to bring up trannies if you're a silksong shill
>>720688625lollmao
>>720688842only trannies enjoy frenchslop33 thoughbeit
E33 is lucky it wasn't released last year. Metaphor would absolutely mog it. Much better gameplay, longer, more difficult, better art direction, better characters, etc.
>>720688625>december releaseAnon…
>>720688928>white people bad: the JRPG
>>720688951December is still within 2025 retardgod...
>>720688721but at least they're actually animated, and the backgrounds are detailed and layered. I wasn't a fan of the mc's animations in HK but silksong really improved on that and hornet has a really satisfying look to her moveset
>>720689027brainrotted
>>720689064Game Award’s cutoff point is like mid november
>>720688928>70 dollarsno thanks
>>720689081>and the backgrounds are detailed and layeredLmao
>>720686568kys retarded tranny
>>720689148compared to EL? Yes
>>720681359imagine needing your taste validated by an advertisement event
>>720689243No?they look like shit, it's just black underground + some other color over and over and over againEL actually has artistic backgrounds
They are both GOTY material. Both are once in a decade games. It is unfortunate that they have to go head to head. In the end I Silksong probably deserves it a little more but Expedition 33 with win it
>>720688951>>720689064not for dorito pope
>>720688240>had a larger cultural impactIt's already forgotten
Well done, Team Cherry, well doneHOWEVER
>>720689623I wish, people won't shut up about it
>>720688625lamo
>>720681794Silksong is not DLC. It started as such before becoming a standalone expansion, before morphing into full-blown sequel. Besides, Elden Ring DLC was nominated for GOTY, so that's not a factor
>fake kino storyI'm not even sure where to begin with that but SS doesn't even deserve to be nominated simply because it's obviously unfinished. If they simply play, tested the game for a few months and released it at the end of November in an actual proper finished state then yeah they probably could have won but alas they flopped itAlso it doesnt have Sony or Nintendo on it so its automatically forfeit. Theyre the PAID game awards.
>>720691528slop33 nigger got filtered by a real game kek
>>720688338You really think they aren't automatically giving it to GTA next year no matter what?
>>720681359Why do we have to choose GOTY between 2 shitty FOMO games
>720691714get better cope, i was filtered by terrible game design. And that's coming from someone who played and enjoyed Dark Souls 2. That's how bad this game is. You do it for free.Also to appease your boogeyman inside your head. I quit expedition 33 after act 1 because it got boring.
>>720691995>enjoyed DS2>hated E33 and SilkOh so you're just "look at me look at me I'm so unique and special"
>>720691995>someone who played and enjoyed Dark Souls>this is whose opinion I'm supposed to respect
>>720687414Nintendo revived a dead industry in the 1980's, Nintendo revolutionized genres on three occasions, and invented genres on two occasions. DK Bananza is going to win GOTY.
>720692313>720692372Concessions accepted. Thank you for beta testing, hopefully it's enjoyable by this holiday after a dozen more balance patches. Touch grass, virgins
>>720691849They can't. It would invalidate Larian's speech last year. GTA is a game made only with profit in mindEveryone with passion left and they were told to rewrite the story 3 times because it was "too dark"
>>720687038>>720687341"Escapism" doesn't work as the theme when every single thing about the game contributes to the idea that the people of the canvas are fully sentient thinking people. It makes zero fucking sense to have the story start from Gustave's perspective otherwise, and just shits on the emotional arcs of every character outside of the Dessendres.
>>720692882lolJust remember to keep the suicide hotline on standby.
>>720681359E33 is an 8/10 at best. The thing is zoomers never actually played a jrpg before so it blew their minds.
>>720681359Holy shit, two cakes!
No way in hell people think silksong is better than E33 right? I mean at least not the people that made it to the first credits screen right?
>>720693965they have never played a 2D platformer either, HK is like 4/10
TLOU and its consequences has been a complete disaster for video games
When are people going to stop pretending that hollowknight/silksong are good or relevant?I've never played either outside of a few clips that weren't really memorable.But I've seen enough videogames over the years, I don't need to play a newgrounds flash-like game to know what it's like. I could just go play castle crashers or something if I wanted to play 2d platforming action slop with thick outlines.
I hate GOTY threads so fucking much. The Game Awards are rigged retardation and ultimately it doesn't matter what the "public" thinks the best game is.Just play games you enjoy, who gives a fuck about GOTY?
E33 singlehandedly made a dead genre cool againSilksong isn't even the best Metroidvania in its own series
>>720683345It has a couple things I dislike but it's a very good game overall. If we're being cynical the realistic presentation and voice direction probably led a lot of people who normally would never give JRPGs the time of day to give it a shot, but that's hardly its fault.
>>720687038Personally, it just feels like the entirety of the introduced themes, about overcoming grief and laying the path for future generations even if you won't be around to see them, are largely ignored or downright trampled upon by the endings. There not being a "good" ending is one thing, but upon a little reflection it really feels like they're just both different flavors of "bad" ending.
>>720693785This is correct. Maelle's ending is bad, but it beats genocide.
>>720681359Silksong maybe goty but e33 is game of the fucking century man
>>720684827act 3 in 33 is also terrible
>>720681359>Shitty art>animated at 10 fps>outdated simplistic programing and contact damageI think not.
>>720683345Yes you have shit taste
>>720686568Yes anon the only AAA company that doesn't add pride flags to all of their games and change their social media icons to rainbows every summer is actually the tranny company. So true sis.
>>720693965I played a bunch of JRPGs and it's easily in my top 3.
>>720687513LolLmaoAlways ignore the Ender Lilies and Magnolia retards. They are unironic pedos at best and shills at worst. The games are the definition of mediocre metroidvanias. They clear absolute dogshit like Ori, Axiom Verge, and Shitstained but that is not a high bar.
>>720693785No it doesn't, you're meant to care about those people and their loss is sad. It's a sad game. Get over it.
>>720681359I'm unfairly biased against E33 because I think it's fucking ugly. Just Unreal shaders and asset packs slapped together for pocket change.
>>720693965
>>720688928>Match the weakness = auto win Pokemon gameplay>Much better gameplay(You)
>>720683345I thought it was pretty good but the gameplay outside the story is honestly not the strongest
>>720702905>asset packsmay I see them?
>>720703562Takes ten seconds to google. They even had to patch out some AI shit.
>>720703956May I see your google results?
>>720703956who gives a shit?
>>720681359Silksong is the best $20 game ever made?
>>720688094Whos the Cuphead boss?
>>720702905it doesn't really look samey to any other unreal game I've seen
>>720705443it has the same grainy artifacts, smeary TAA blur and Lambert shading.
>>720706191>He doesn't automatically go into the settings and disable every "effect" option on downloadYou're kinda doing it to yourself there.
>>720684324Mario and Luigi.
nah silksong has too much bullshit in it, once the dust settles down e33 will come out on top
>>720681359Neither deserve it.
