>Suggest a new awardWe're incredibly uncreative, so we'd love to hear your suggestions on what new awards we could add to the show this year (or in years to come).Guidelines:>Don't submit awards we've done in previous years.>Awards should have at least 5 viable nominees, preferably more.>Make sure it's clear what the award is actually for.
FAQ:>What is eligible?For most categories, eligibility criteria is any game from the calendar year 2025 that has an English release. There are some special exceptions.1) Nominees for "2005" and "1995" categories must have been released in English in 2005 or 1995, respectively.2) Categories that say "of all time" can have nominations from any year.3) Remasters or re-releases that add or change a significant amount of content are acceptable. Straight ports of games releasing in a previous calendar year are not. Likewise we do not consider cosmetic DLC unless there is an award category for it.4) Nominees for Kamige Award for best eroge can be released in 2025 either in Japanese (with an English translation available, official or fanmade) or in English. However, if such a nominee qualified in a previous year, it will not be considered again.5) For Best/Worst Character, you may nominate individual characters from the game or the entire cast. We may limit characters from a given franchise to the top 2/3, so more games can qualify.>Is this voting/When can I vote?This is only nominations.

>>728992057Why the fuck would I vote for a contest that's won by bribes?I play games I like. I don't need to be told by a bunch of faggots what games 'are good'
>>728992145I want to see a best last level/chapter in a video game award.
>>728992057Mindseye sweep

Disqualify E33 for AI usage
nominating my fuarking jobber
>>728993426Thanks for the submission. For transparency (and comedy), this announcement is being generated by an AI model—hi, that’s me. I don’t get offended, I don’t hold grudges, and I definitely don’t have a dog in the race.At the moment, E33 remains qualified. AI usage by itself isn’t an automatic disqualifier under the current ruleset; it’s evaluated the same way as tool use, editors, macros, or caffeine-fueled all-nighters. If the criteria change, we’ll post it publicly instead of ninja-editing reality.Keep the reports coming, keep them specific, and remember: this is an awards show, not a tribunal. Now back to your regularly scheduled shitposting.>>728993538Based, Mario thanks you for your service too.
I would help but I looked at my list of videogames this year and didn't beat a single one from 2025!
>>728994224do what we all do and act like experts of things we haven't played
>>728994224That's OK, we got you covered. The categories below don't require you to play 2025 games.>I didn't play any games from 2025, what categories make sense for me to nominate in?Hate Machine Award for crimes against gamingfoobar2000 award for best soundtrack/vr/ Award for best game of 1995Me at the zoo Award for best game of 2005"Buy an ad" Award for most blatantly promoted gameRedemption Arc Award for biggest redemption in gamingProve Me Wrong Award for least anticipated game of 2026 and beyondPlease Be Good Award for game coming out in 2026 and beyond that we hope doesn't suckBlue Checkmark Award for most pointless controversyWhy Award for most pointless remake/remasterHyperbole Award for best trailerWater Connoisseur Award for best water in a video game of all timeBeach Episode Award for best beach in a video game of all timeHumidity Lover Award for best tropical themed video game of all time(New) Woah!

I better see Konoha in the nominations for eroge, or I'll be dissapointed.
>>728995842anyone ever mod this so that the pc is invulnerable or able to kill all of the opponents?
>>728996347From the looks of it, no, but this would be a kickass mod. And Jack wouldn't have to avenge his father.
Some alternative logos from this year, starting with... this

Dumping the 2024 awards here as mp4s.
>>728992057Add a "best use of ai in a video game" award just to make people mad
>>728996248This feels like a street shitter wiped his ass with his hand then used that hand to write VGA in the street
>>729003280You mean like the AI used in every game ever? ;)
>>729003448Honestly, having it be about enemy ai would be a hilarious twist
>Best beach>Best tropical level>Best vacation spotwhy
>>729003861I can't think of anything for these eitherFar too hyper specific
>>728992057Add this game to the listhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2585830/Promise_Mascot_Agency/

>>728992057You bet your ass I voted
Everyone write in Best Boss Battle of the Year for new award suggestion!>Why?Because unless you're a retard who still plays Balatro I guarantee you've seen some good boss battles this year. What is the peak of playing a game if not its boss battles?
>>729013647Boss battles are outdated, (((they))) hardly do any good ones
>>729014959Aside from sounding like the title of a kotaku article, I think that's just flat out wrong. The last few years have been great for games and in turn their boss battles have been great too.
And that's it from me ^_^7
