here is your goty bro
>>730652369there it is.
>>730652369Yup that's it. Game of the decade even.
>>730652369I liked it.
Unfortunately players didn't care about it.
>>730652369>no cultural impact whatsoever>gotyyep, it's a video game alright
>>730652369Millions of straight white men became hebephiles because of her
>>730652687>WhiteEh... right wing white people already like toddlers and preteens. So you might be right they also started liking older for once. Doubt it. Hebephile is too older for africans, indians, etc. even with a goty game forcing it.
>>730652369The Avatar of videogames
>>730652369to be fair it's not like the earlier GOTY's of the gay awards had any impact either
Only tendietroons are obsessed with cultural impact, and by that they mean that it isn't discussed by tendie youtubers and Nintendo Life
?What is cultural impact to you if not being showcased in every single form of social media, forcing Square-Enix to shit its pants and invite the studio to their headquarters, being the opening live performance of every single gaming show since its release, and officially becoming the most awarded game to ever be released thus far, in under a year, without any previous game to pave its way unlike TLOU2?Did you want a statue or something?
>>730652369Sex with Maelle
>>730652369I thought it was revoked?
>>730652369>this game didn't meet the arbitrary criteria I imposed on it despite the game never indicating any intent to do so, so it's bad!I never even played this game but that's a silly logic.
>>730654403Your braincells clearly were.

>>730654557Are you baiting or are you genuinely this stupid?
>>730654752>"On Saturday, the Indie Game Awards retracted Clair Obscur's honors due to inclusion of generative AI assets"Care to prove me wrong?
It's the latter I fear
>>730654801>the Indie Game AwardsKek
Alright, just retarded then. Moving on.
>cant prove me wrong>too scared to reply to me directlyI accept your concession.
Please do and then leave.
I want to release gallons of impact into Lune's culture
>>730652369The leftie "judges" were so desperate to snub Asian games that they shilled a Western "indie" celebrating French "white" culture that they want to desperately erase. They just hate Asia more than what they want to do desperately destroy in the West.That's literally it. It's a nice game with complete irrelevancy outside the short period when they artificially made it flavor of the month through sponsoring streamers.
*stays**keeps winning*:3
>>730652369Completely honesty I didn't know this game existed before the game awards
What's your point, niggerfaggotConcord has more cultural impact than a handful of good games
>>730652369The issue with this game is that outside of Verso and Maelle the party members are just there
>>730652369>make linear movie game slop with baby difficulty so journalist can play the game>make sure game looks like a movie than video games because game journalists are just a failed movie critic>spread free review copies, go on your knees and kiss their shoes so they'll give you good reviews>plaster review scores on store page to make extra sure that they know that you respect and adore these journalists, and you are willing to offer advertisement for their platforms too>Geoff Keighley only looks at quantity of journo reviews so he showers the game with awardsThis is how to make award bait
>>730655140>Concord has more cultural impact than a handful of good games
>>730652623Steamsissies are so embarrassing
>>730652369>no cultural impact is that the new buzzword pretentious twats and attention seeking contrarians use now when they don't like something popular?
>>730653292RE4 was the first game to win Geoff's GotY in 2005. It has gone on to be one of the most influential games of all time. So very untrue.
>>730652687I'm not sexually attracted to Maelle, i want to protect her
>>730652369Astrobot was completely forgotten after TGA too
>>730654557>>730654801If you can't tell by now, no one cares about the "indie game awards".taking the award away was performative and embarrassing. Every game is going to be made with AI going forward and nothing will stop that.There's nothing stopping devs from using it and not saying anything.
>>730655003>implying this wont be on every top 10 games of all time list from now on
>>730657579It was coined after everyone saw Avatar made bank and was for a wide audience PG-13 shit, but no one cared for it, no merchandise was moving, no one wanted t-shirts of it, no one was demanding more, no one was pining for it or reccomending it to others on forums etc.So it had little to no cultural impact.And by no one I don't mean paid shills and reviewers.
>>730657892It won't, it might break top 20's or 30's at best.
>>730652369Most astroturfed game in history
>>730652369so like 99,9% of games, especially the ones in the last 10 years? for example the only ones who had any impact in the last 10 years were games like Overwatch (hero shooter shit genre), Witcher 3, Zelda Botw and Dark souls, everything else was a fart in the wind
>>730659686>Witcher 3lmao
>>730659186correction: james cameron didn't pay any "journalists" to shill it, so they came up with "cultural impact."
>>730659686RDR2 outsold all them and has a higher meta score
ideally everyone was so embarrassed that a french game kept calling itself a jrpg that everyone has collectively chosen to forget this game. not to mention calling super mario rpg "combat" revolutionary/groundbreaking, a story ripped from a dark souls level "original," etc
>>730659186nobody wanted star wars shit until they started selling star wars shit
>>730657892anyone placing it on a top 100 list is being dishonest with themselvesit'll serve as an excellent miner's canary, much like last of us did. If someone praises this, they don't actually like games
>>730652369French waifus...
>>730660068>game that apes ff8 and ff10 alongside paper mario is only for fake gamersI hate you contrarian single digit IQ niggers so much
>>730655003Basedtotal slant eye death
>>730657662>spike tvi said the gay awards, the one that started in 2014 with dragon age inquisition winning goty
>>730652369what GOTY has actually had a cultural impact?
>>730660068Your arguments suck
The widescale fellation of E33 is, I must confess, a laughable phenomenon to observe.An "indie" game made on a $10 million budget, with a star-studded voice cast and the backing of wealthy investors, while making use of Unreal Engine stock assets - and all propped up by an emotionally manipulative storyline that anyone who's read a book or two beyond the shallow end of contemporary fiction will recognize is trite and mawkish - sweeping every award in 2025 is perfectly fitting.Mechanically, the game completes the illusion. It is a JRPG designed for normies who hate (or rather, are embarrassed to be associated with) JRPGs and are far more interested in an "accessible and immersive" experience. The result is a combat loop that flatters the player’s sense of participation while asking almost nothing of them beyond rhythmic compliance: press the button, watch the spectacle. It's Pavlovian.The narrative is less a story than a checklist of affective cues, engineered to provoke recognition rather than reflection. It's all handled with the kind of solemn obviousness that mistakes earnestness for depth. It insists upon emotion as a substitute for thought.That this design philosophy is rewarded so thoroughly speaks less to the game’s individual failings than to the current critical ecosystem surrounding games. Awards culture increasingly favours works that resemble prestige television. E33's critical success rests almost entirely on an aggressively curated emotional register. Of course, to question the shallowness of such experiences is to risk being framed as elitist, even as the industry openly celebrates projects engineered to offend no one and challenge nothing.Don't mistake my point. E33 is not a catastrophe. It is worse than that: it is exemplary. It represents the logical endpoint of a medium desperate for cultural legitimacy, chasing validation by mimicking the least demanding forms of "serious" art while hollowing out what once made its genres distinct.
