GOTY
>>724627372Correct. Also Maelle for Smash Bros 6!
>/v/ when you mention Hades 2
She just wanted to be loved.
>>724627595i could fix her
>>724627445Sakurai would prioritize the protagonist first.
E33 bros.. I am scared
>>724628105Silksong bro here, there's only a 1% chance we win Goty, journos hate Silksong lmao
>>724628031>the protagonistSo, Maelle?
still mad we didnt get a full painted alicia costume
>>724628105Only a fraction of people even made it to act 3. Silksong will win indie of the year and that's it.
>>724627595Anal sex with Alicia while she's nodding out on painkillers.
>>724628265We do get her costume and hairstyle, only without a mask.I am more salty we never got Alicia's real-life red hairstyle, only the white one.
>>724628105I am almost sure E33 has a GOTY in the bag, if only because Geoff knows E33 fans will eat him alive if it doesn't get a GOTY.Also, outside of being a critical darling, it's also the only game in the GOTY roster that isn't a sequel of some sort, but a brand new IP. And it had gotten this mainstream appeal of "if you want to talk about games as art, this is the game to point towards". FFS, I saw E33 being discussed in academic discourses already. And we all know how insecure the gaming industry is about being percieved as "true art".
>>724628731it still has the normal skin tone. I wanted a fully painted one. Normal Maelle with the white hair and outfit doesnt look as good
The game is beautiful and absolutely deserves it. There's a lot of good games this year but there's nothing else like this at all.
>>724629387Fair enough.I do dislike the white hair on Maelle. It makes the whole character look visually bland.
>>724628158Someone who's dead for the entire 3rd act of the game can't be the protagonist. It's either Verso or Alicia. Not Maelle.
>>724627545No one's talking about hades 2 because it has absolutely 0 chance of winning. It's irrelevant to the discussion of goty, a non-factor.
>>724628105It's OK because Silksong is still the best game of the year even if it doesn't win.
>>724629094Insane because a lot of silksong criticisms is because games are not really art for a lot of people, and instead are just cheap distractions lmaoThe easiest example is with the compass system, is a way of the game to give the player more responsibility when it comes to the way they play, nothing in that game is free, if you win is because you deserve it.
>>724628105Silksong's not the one they fear.
>>724634662anon, nobody cares about hades 2, is probably the first time i've seen a game with such a high score, that didn't make any sort of noise or discussion.hades 2 was DOA, early access was a error
>act 1 is perfect>get to act 2>UHHH HERE'S ANOTHER COUNTER TRY TO REMEMBER ITDropped
>>724634926>"Wahh! /v/ doesn't talk about it."Anon, that doesn't matter. It's the highest-reviewed game this year by an ever-increasing margin, and GOTY is ultimately decided by those who wrote said reviews.Your imaginary metrics you think The Game Awards use aren't real. You, along with the rest of /v/, learned nothing from Astro Bot winning last year.Ironically, if they didn't do early access, they could've lost due to releasing it in a lesser quality state.
>>724635514Astro bot may have not been impactful on /v/ but it was on Twitter and Reddit. Hades 2 couldn't even make a impact there.Regardless, we (silksong bros and hades bros) are going to lose to E33
>>724627372Goyslop of the year
The only real goty is ninja gaiden4
>>724627372Nah
