Which one is GotY?There can only be one.
E33$20 games cant win
putting silksong on the same level as clair obscur is embarrassing taste
>>724278856Yeah, Silk Song is actually genuinely good, E33 needed to be shilled and astroturfed.
>>724278769It's Silksong for me. But I bet the judges will vote E33. But E33 is excellent too so I'd be fine with that I suppose. But it's still Silksong that's MY GotY.
>>724278769AnimeCHADS are eating good these days.
team fortress 2
>>724278769Pirate Yakuza.
Anime is brown-coded
Silksong is lucky if it wins indie of the year
>>724278769Silksong is on journos' shitlist. No review copies, too difficult. E33 takes it easily.The real question is who will take /v/GAs.
shitsong lost the moment they added savage beastfly
>>724278769I don't know what's worse, current anime fights or OP being a faggot and posting instagram/tik tok shit
i dont give a shitif you care about gotty on any level, you're retarded
>>724278769its between silksong and death stranding 2
>>724278769Silksong won't even get nominated.
A 2d game will never win game of the year, it should have its own category
>>724278769If they can fix the bugs and get the online working Onirism.
>>724278769>flashy hypebeast shounenshit for niggersJust post the games side-by-side next time, retard. Silksong is inferior to its prequel on several fronts, and it's largely carried by hype. I've played Silksong and I haven't tried E33, and I still think E33 should get the award over SS.
>>724278769
Literally none of these
>>724278769Hades 2, the wokest most pozzed game automatically wins. This is jewrnos, we're talking about.
>>724278769Good job OP. keep it up. Remember, at least one thread every hour, just expedition 33 and silksong, and then you HAVE to post three or more replies saying expedition 33 is the one out of the two that's gonna win. No matter what, DO NOT MENTION hades 2. Gotta drive discussion away from the scores, or the critics that cast the votes, all that stuff. we need to win this, so it's all hands on deck brvther.
>>724279231Based
E33And I refunded that game an hour in
>>724291548>Playing either of these scams at all
>>724291590Well to be fair I didnt play silksong at allHollow knight was overrated too
>>724278769abiotic factor
>>724278769i played Hades 2 and I’m playing expedition 33(doing act 3 right now) so far i think the goty is going to Hades 2 for me personally.
>>724279136How do you figure? this is shit.Go watch Akira or Ghost in the Shell or any of the old 80s anime. This is fucking garbage.
>>860shittiest bait of the day award
>shittiest bait of the day award>UHUHUHUHUHHH, FUNNY COLORS
>>724285842This, game of the year more like goy of the year
>>724285842I care about how much seething it will cause when silksong loses
>>724293279Eh, I already made my peace with the fact 90% of players didn't beat it
>>724278769Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
>>724278769Since Geoff seems a bit anti nintendo lately I suppose Wokedition 33 is taking the crown, undeservedly.
>>724279136why did one piece become this? i also hate everyone has an aura now
>>724278769>>724278769>watched the Demon Slayer movie in theater>girl has flashback over dead sister>her sister's ghost talks to her>boy has flashback over dead grandpa>dead grandpa's ghost talks to him after the fight>villain has flashback over dead father>dead father's ghost talks to him after the fightI understand tragic backstories is the formula to make characters likeable, but why is it so....repetitive? also, 99% of the "techniques" in demon slayer is the same exact thing. An anime slash where the user just dashes super fast and a big slash line is on the screen, or multiple fast ones. With a different element/animal. But the action is just them dashing and slashing, despite the different names, what the fuck. Luffy by himself has way more variety in actions and choreography with his attacks than the entire cast of Demon Slayer combined.
>>724290081>3 indie darlings in one yearkind of curious whats gonna happen
>>724294112E33? SilkSong? My... my.... /v/ truly has shit taste. Of course the best game this year was Borderlands 4.......Do I fit in yet, faggots?
>>724291860>old anime is better because...its older
>>724278769you know good and damn well ain't no 2D sidescroller winning GotY. gtfoh.
>>724278769Last I saw it was73% E3311% SS8% Hades 2If you think SS has a chance you should play those odds.
>>724294426The difference is that E33 is built from the ground up to appeal to Reddit, while Silk Song was built from the ground up to be a hard game.
>>724294279Well it's just swordmanship. How else can you make it flashy? You generally point the sharp side of the sword towards the enemy and slash. Speaking of One Piece - they had to give Zoro 3 swords to make his fights somewhat interesting.
>>724294279demon slayer is basic even by shonen standards
My personal Goty is Ender Magnolia.As for the pope awards, E33 is definitely taking it, ass creed shadows coming as a close second. Journos are all about inclusivity and stuff.
>>724278769E33 deserves to lose purely for being "It was all... LE DREAM" equivalent. It will probably win though.
>>724294350It was much smarter and more profound. I prefer the post 2015 stuff but the late 90s were the second best.The leftovers vs white lotus kind of comparisons
>>724294478Yes, thats what the pic said...
>>724294478You mean to be bloated to shit.
>>724294545It keeps getting worse and worse but that start was pure kino. I despise most Shonen but gave that series a pass. Style, themes, and characters are well done. Pig mask guy is the best.
>>724291775>>724291392Do your parents know that you are gay?>t. Never played it and going 100% off what I see posted here.
>>724294901I watched Demon Slayer with an open mind, I just want good sakuga. But the choreography is actually too basic, the 3D sword sparks and elemental effects are good but the actual fighting is not that great. Jujutsu Kaisen is another popular series in the new gen and that actually has some really good martial arts/hand to hand choreography that brutally mog Demon Slayer. I think normalfags think flashy colorful sparks=good animation, when animation is actually about the movement.
>>724295010I could see that. Jujutsu Kaisen was the other one I kind of got into but stopped episide 5 for some reason.I just want more Made in Abyss and an actually good spiral like episode 1.
>>724279136Did Japan learn nothing from the Porygon incident?
it will be astro bot again
>>724279136AAAAAHHHH MY EYESBut goddamn is anime dead. Zoomies and alphies see stuff where every character is just cgi with a backgroudn attempting to imitate anime and go "Yo! This shit looks so good fr fr no cap"
>>724293976Oh yeah. That was a thing once.
>>724294112Toei started hiring western animators
>>724278769E33No indie will ever win goty
>>724297939First time for everything.
Whoever wins, we lose.
>>724297998Is this actually in Hades 2 or is this just porn?
>>724298083It's AI generated slop.
>>724298130Unfortunate
>>724298083its in the new rewritten ending
>>724278769E N T E R
>>724278769neither
>>724278769silksong is like a 7/10, I didn't even play E33 and it's probably GOTY
>>724278769E33 was better cus it was first game.Silksong as sequal is better mechanicly but gameplay after act 1 was trash. So it failed miserable to orginal HK imo. So E33 should win.
>>724279136what a mess
>>724279136We are eating good but we are suffering heavy too. Just look at One Frame Punch
>>724278769I hope against hope that E33 doesn't win. I don't care what takes its place. I don't want to live in a world where that piece of shit is considered worthy of discussion past this year. I've already had enough of its overhyped mediocrity for a century.
>>724278769Silksong is a masterpiece. E33 is an OK JRPG clone that is only as popular as it is because journalists blew it up to shit on the Japanese, it's not even the 3rd beat game I've played this year.
>>724303402>Silksong is a masterpieceIs this what tumblrtards believe in?
There is no universe where Silksong wins GOTYI don't even think E33 will win itPrecedent suggests something like Blue Prince or Split Fiction
>>724278769Not even close, the game I enjoyed this year by far the most.
E33 is an unreal 5 forced TAA blurslop, and should be disqualified
>>724278769Obviously the winner will be OnBlack Souls
E33 has no gameplay You're in the wrong medium if that's your game of the year desu
>>724278769one is a game the other is a visual novel
So the best we had this year is mediocre metroidvania and a 3d vn...
>>724278769I've played 30 games that are just like Silksong.E33 is a once in a lifetime experience.These do not compete in the same league.
E3E was better Silksong is just a Hollow Knight downgrade, I've finished act 2 and I am done with the game, it insisted upon itself
If either Bananza or Silksong win it'll be deserved. Video games are about fun and game-play.
>>724304091>E33 is a once in a lifetime experience.Pretty sure there are multiple VN's that came out this year? I'm not sure as I pay attention to games not books
>>724304091how to tell people you're underage or sheltered without telling people you're underaged or sheltered
>>724279136Is this real?
Trick question. 2025 has 0 games.
>>724304128>bananza>funIt was dogshit and it pissed me off that Odyssey 2 was delayed because of that>noooooo but it's fun because..... it is!
>>724294279i like the realistic sword fights in Rurouni Kenshin, where it's basically one slash and dead.
>>724278769>turn BASED RPG kino>actually hard game made by three dudesEither would be great desu. Though the most likely scenario is that some random Sonyslop that nobody played will win like last year.
Silkshart is just yet another tumblrcore metroonoidvania, and that makes it worse than E33.
>>724304291I have fun interacting with an interactive map and solving problems that have multiple creative solutions.And the OST is amazing. And the movement is responsive and fluid, as mandatory for any platformer.Only a tiny minority who actually bought and played it didn't Iike it. Sorry bro the game is really fucking good.
>>724278851$40 games are flops by default
>>724278769Silksong is mid.E33 is babby's first JRPG with asset flips.This year was weak as fuck, it's a testament to how bad games like Monster Hunter Wilds were to not even be in the conversation even in an objectively shit year like this one.
>>724304306>Shishio vs KenshinLolLmao
>>724278769Anime is so gay
>>724278769You just know some brownoid SEAmonkey made that webm and probably posted it here.
>>724304431whats wrong with cartoons?
>>724304389>solving problems that have multiple creative solutionswojak_doing_block_puzzle.jpg
>>724278769>>724279136
>>724279136>>724278769forced animation
>>724279231Kino. The fact that it’s not gonna be nominated is proof that GOTY is a load of shit
>>724278769E33 deserves it more, I also just want to see silktrannies seething for weeks after losing every award, just pure schadenfreude.
e33 mainly cause of musicfor me personally its between blue prince and look outside. esp blue prince with all its downsides, still was the most unique game of the year.
>>724304471Hell yeah man. Luv me some fun puzzles.
>>724304409Back to the Dawn and Ninja Gaiden 4 were pretty good.
>>724279231Somehow more of a movie game with less gameplay than E33 is.
>>724299728>weird fetish boomer shooter game with schizo porn lore is GOTY since day 2 and counting>has the best soundtrack too despite all of it being freewareHow the fuck did it come to this? BC ought to be a hidden gem, not by far the very best thing an entire multi-trillion dollar industry can offer all year.
>>724304515E33 pedophiles have been insufferable this entire year. Unironically hope both games lose and AC Shadows win, now that would be hilarious
>>724304631It won't happen but it would be pretty funny indeed.
>>724304631Silksongfags have been insufferable the entire generation
>>724304631Silktrannies have been annoying for 8 years.
>>724304763>dude, I can't wait for mediocre metroidvania with soulsslop elements and shitty artstyle>whoah, mediocre metroidvania with soulsslop elements and shitty artstyle is GOTYAlmost as bad as sonykkers were last gen.
>>724278769Fantasy Life i is my favorite game of the year but this is really a year where no game should win GOTY. 2025 was very lackluster, both in the mainstream and the indie space.
>>724279136I'm having a seizure.
>>724294112most of the blame can be laid at the feet of a frog faggot
>>724303652congrats on your coming out
>>724304881>both in the mainstream and the indie spaceBack to the Dawn is awesome, though.
>>724304881play E33
Probably Silent Hill f or No Sleep for Kaname DateDidn't play the shit in OP's post
>>724294112it's practically a law of shounen that the longer a series goes on the more likely it is to turn into DBZ
>>724278769What anime?
>>724291392Idk, I genuinely forgot that Hades 2 is released. And I was pretty hyped when the trailer dropped and waited patiently for the full release. ...just to be utterly disappointed in the new main character, worse art style (how the fuck?), and look of the main villain.
ENTER
>>724306547Wasn't tarkov out for a while now? Also, isn't it just shitty stalker?
>>724309070>Wasn't tarkov out for a while now?the beta version yes, release is going to be adding a main story + all its related quests, cutscenes and in-raid traders, several new NPC factions, two new maps, expansions for a bunch of the others, weapon paints, probably 20-30 new guns at a minimum + a bunch of mods for them all, asset overhauls and a bunch of miscellaneous features>isn't it just shitty stalker?only if your only point of reference is analmeme + gamma. Tarkov is obviously inspired by STALKER to an extent but the actual moment to moment gameplay is much different and more focused on general survival vs. the original trilogy being much more of linear corridor shooters with looting
