It has come down to this
>>727773904DS2 and E33 barely have any gameplay unless you're geriatric. They don't belong in the conversation.
>>727773904E33 is going to win almost every category in a landslide
>>727774059they'll give sound design to DS2 just because kojima has to win something, and art direction to silksong as consolation, but the rest... yeah
Considering how Hades 2 has by far the highest metascore, that return is pretty insane. Not a bad bet to make.
>>727773904Expedition 33 and KCD2 are the only remotely good games in this list and neither are really even that great
>>727774247>Metroid 4 not even in the discussion lol
>>727773904>death stranding 2 forgetten just a week after it's releasegrimjima
>>727773904Only Silksong isn't woke
>>727774378It's going for next year's tga since it released too late for this one.
>>727773904Nobody has yet to give a sensible argument as to why Hades won't win.
>>727774652see >>727774317
>>727774551You know damn well everyone is going for forget about it by then. Having awards "of the year" before the year is over was always retarded.
>>727773904grim as fuck
>>727774652they didn't bribe the judges like E33they have the woke but not the nepobaby money
>>727774380Not on PC = doesn't exist.Nintendo has insanely loyal devotees that manufacture discussions about a first party game for free, but PS is the FIFA and FPS machine for casuals, they don't care about esoteric arthouse Kojima stuff.
>>727773904Four great games out of six is actually better than usual.
>>727774059>E33 is going to win almost every category in a landslideAnd deservedly soThere will be masters theses written on that game for years to come, and it is in the race for top 20 games of all time
>>727774734should've released faster
>>727774795nobody cares about gay pc
>>727774652Hades 2 is a bad game, bland combo/synergies, retarded story, ugly designs.
>>727774759Hades most likely had a higher budget though?
>>727773904What a weak fucking yearWilds wasn't that good but it's an HR game, and at the very least it's a GAME.Ninja Gaiden 4 is the only real GOOD game to come out this year so of course it's not winning any awards
>>727773904Dire
>>727774916and how much of that was spent bribing journos and judges to shill the game?
>>727773904>Split fictionNot a bad game but not even remotely close to the rest of themPersonally I'd say either Kingdom Come 2 or Silksong.
>>727773904Rigged as usual
>>727774838Of all time is debatable, but it's probably the best game since like 2010
how is Bananza in that group
>>727774851If you award the best things "of the year" but that year isn't the actual entire year from Jan to Dec then its completely arbitrary. You could do a similar awards show in the middle of August and simply count things from September the previous year up to the next July.
>>727774734Hey, EU5 missed the release deadline but you just know it'll automatically win best strategy next year.
>>727775000Name 1 thing that game does better than Ninja Gaiden Black
>>727775309It has gameplayLots of it
>>727775000horrendous opinions here
>Kirby Air Riders completely snubbed despite Geoff setting the cutoff day for entrees a day after it came out>didn't even appear as one the 30 Player's Voice nomineesWhy is the so-called "voice of gamers" scared of Masahiro Sakurai and his pink Star Warrior?
>>727774652It's the same exact game again with less likeable characters and a more obnoxious system. Funny that despite so much fine tuning into their stupid mana and charging system, the best weapon in the game by lightyears is one that closest emulates how Zag regularly played with melee weapons.Unironically it only got so many high ratings and accolades because it's full of gay brown people, which looks good on an industry resume and that's it.
>>727775205>Of all time is debatableYeah "all time" is a huge window, and if you include games that inspired whole genres, it probably misses outIt belongs in the discussion but definitely not guaranteed to end up on a final list of top 20 all time
>>727774009What doesn't belong is a 2D platformer sloppa.
I played all these games and I enjoyed Death Stranding 2 the most
>>727775414>>727775453God you're in every thread, aren't you?>>727775419Yes but this is the movie-game critic-bait category
>>727774247And for the memes, here's 2024's
>>727773904wow it's all shit just like every list since 2018
Just finished Expedition 33. I understand why it's so popular, yet I don't think it deserves some nominees like RPG and Music one
>>727775631Only Death Stranding 2 and Expedition 33 are oscarbait movie"games"The rest is fine desu
>>727775631No idea who you're talking about, but it's funny you cant name 1 single thing
>>727775720yeah sure, lmaoikwya
>>727775343>>727774851>>727774734It's because that fucking kike wants to blast commercials out to millions of people before Christmas
another bad year for vidya when the best one (Shit Fiction) is QTE slopno, I didn't actually play it or claim to know anything about it
>>727776006A Way Out > It Takes Two > Split Fiction
>>727775816Ok schizoid, feel free to answer the question any time
i will never forgive you niggas if you let south park stick of truth HD win game of the year
>>727774247hilarious to me that there are tendies who think wokey kangz gimmedats is going to win goyt
>>727773904these are all mediocre/bad. In a good year none of these would really have a chance to win at all.
>>727776249Those are the two best western RPGs of da last decade dough
>>727776293You say that every year
>>727776293You just don't like video games anymore. Unless the only game you play is RTS and nothing else.
>>727773904>half are gay as shit
E33 was breddy good GOTY contender but not game of the decade good. zoomer are so fucking weird man
>>727774317>KCD2>GoodPick one and only one
>>727774009>DS2 barely has gameplay.Sounds like somebody didnt play the game like a silly asshole.What did you do, hold up the entire time?
>>727776605Genuinely what is better since 2015? Gaming has been total shit for at least that long
>>727776671Play the game
>>727776605It's the direct equivalent of Persona 5 to people that don't play JRPGs.It's palatable for a wide audience, therefore it's "the best".
>>727776768Anything with gameplayNiggers will stare at a wannabe movie and think it's a good video game
>>727776768Sunbreak is pretty recent.MHFZZ was like 2017 I think and GU was 2016. Those three are arguably the best games in the series.
>>727776923Fag lover
>>727776768>Genuinely what is better since 2015?Ever notice how the anti-E33 trolls never answer this question directly?
>>727777151So you didn't play the game
>>727777151back to /pol/
>>727776768On top of my head AC6, sekiro, bloodborne, relink, mhwi, ff7r, doom eternal, unicorn overload, 13 sentinels,Come to think about it I don't really recall full fledged JRPG that aren't niche AA games or with some controversy.
>>727776768Outer wilds is game of the decade
>>727777489>AC6The rest of your list is irrelevant, nice troll
>>727775419A fetus game with fetus ameplay
>>727775539>Kirby tranny trying to shill his flopped discount Mario Kart
>>727773904not a single game I like wtf
>>727774247why does it add up more more than 100%?
>>727777835but enough about e33
>>727775539I'm a massive Kirby fan and I think Air Riders is a total waste of time and company resources that will definitely impact the longevity of the franchise. Kirby needs a big budget 3D platformer on the scale of Mario or Zelda, not a shitty cart racer. It's bad and a total net negative for the franchise with only the most hardcore Nintendo loyalists giving it praise in any form. Fuck Kirby Air Riders.Sack Of Rye blew it.
>>727773904holy shit what is the point
>>727778243Because that number depends on the value of the contracts you can buy which give you 1$ if it wins, it's the rate of return.
>>727774009DS2 has more inventive gameplay than anything here
>>727775205If you chunk 15 years off of history then you're giving E33 an even bigger chance to be top 20
>>727778818>walking forward is inventive
>>727777905>>727778517KAR requires you to have a brain young enough to react to the chaosBoomers and millennials physically can't play the game without getting raped
>>727775546>Sensible argument>"because it's full of gay brown people!"I meant "sensible" from a non-retarded perspective. The judges are the reviewers, and the reviewers gave it a much higher score than E33. Logically, it'd win.
>>727773904Wow I don't give a fuck about any of these.
>>727773904>Removed the winnerScared?
>>727779301Well what other reason exactly is there for it scoring so insanely high? The cast is worse, the gameplay is worse, the soundtrack is more or less the same, they friendship their way out of a proper ending, I just don't understand it.If not resorting to """""woke""""" sentiments, the only other reason it would score so insanely high is paid off critics. Hades 2 is easily the most overrated game to release this year.
>>727779084You being a retard isn't an argument
>>727774009Game of the Year has never actually been about the best "game".
>>727773904wow I don't like any of those games.
>>727773904How is anyting besides lower mid and lower left even in this conversation lmao
>>727780258>the gameplay is worseIt is a strict improvement over the first, hence the better score. Gameplay is king after all.
>>727783976>dashing got mutilated and replaced with a garbage sprint >most weapons force you to spam slow mana charge moves which feels like sewage compared to the fast gameplay from the first>most boons feel strictly worse compare to the first game, so much so you can clear with like 2 or 3 damage boons if that>forced resource gathering for progression along with a mechanic that makes the game harder if you do too well early on>again only a single weapon actually feels fun to use and emulates hades 1>the only thing it has over hades 1 is 2 different areas to run through instead of the 1, but double the dogshit is still dogshitThere isn't a single thing 2 does better than 1 in terms of gameplay.
>>727773904Expedition 33 is going to win, no question, and that really shows you how terrible the state of video games is when a game that looks and feels like it's been entirely written and designed by AI can garner praise like that.
>>727779274Man, this looks ugly as hell.
>>727773904KCD2 is the objectively correct choice but it will probably go to Slopsong or E33
>>727784884What's your favorite game, anon?
>>727785050Tetris
>Show at 3 AM on a FridayFuck the fuck off fuckface Geoff
>>727774059I can hardly wait to watch your slop lose in every category.
>>727773904>literally who>indieshit>moviegame>euro jank>euro jank>nintendo platformerThe absolute state of the industry in 2025. It only lacks a soulslike nominee for tge full house of trash.
>>727785130
Are GOTY awards obligated to include a nintendo game?
>>727784962Yes, I understand your brain can only interpret blurIt's not a game for you old man
>>727786292It's not even very fast. It just visually looks like vomit.
>>727773904>normal fag game>a dlc sold as full game>a walking simulator with hollywood celebrities>a gay sequel>parry shit>donkey shitsuch a shitty year, next one will be worse
>>727787304Ok boomer
>>727773904I had never heard of Split Fiction before the awards.
>>727773904
>>727774059this
Truly grim.
>>727779904lol
>>727783976>It is a strict improvement over the firstno it fucking isn't
they fucking won
>>727774009E33 and DS2 have possibly the most gameplay of anything listed here. And the most based gameplay at that.
>>727774009>DS2 and E33 barely have any gameplaywhat a retarded take
>>727774228They're not gonna give an award to pissy baby tantrum-throwing developers who won't even show up to the show kek
>>727774247>By far>1 point margin
>>727774518>Female protag>Not woke
they will win
>>727773904Oof, this has been a rough year for gaming, huh?
>>727773904The right answer is Starfield, but I'd also accept Kingdom Come Deliverance or Death Stranding 2. The winner will actually be Expedition 33.
i kneel
What will happen>best indieSilks- should have come to the ceremony, Hades II>best rpgKCD2>best first indieE33>gotyE33No one will complain this way.
>>727790950Try 3. The largest margin in Game Award history; never have the GOTY nominations been this lop-sided.
>>727792327gaydes 2 will probably win considering it's woke garbage
>>727792327And it'll still lose, because everyone knows e33 wins.Hades II devs too.
>>727790715Post it then
