Did it deserve to win GOTY?
>>738106559Bait used to be believable.

>>738106559If this game came out today every thread on /v/ discussing it would have half the posts be complaining about random twitter users and youtubers nobody watches while screeching about “anti-woke fatigue” and trying to explain how this website totally used to be leftist before an election a decade ago happened.
It won GOTY?
>mogs god hand babbies
>>738106559Isn't this literally just a walking sim where you go through a house? Like there's no puzzles or anything, you just wonder where your family went and then its over?
>>738107248Only Polygon's. The rest were either nomination or lesser awards (note the "downloadable").
>>738107224if this came out today not a single person would be talking about it and it would have sold maybe a few hundred copies
>>738106559Man I forgot all about it Why the fuck game journos were shoving this """game""" down our throats is beyond me
>>738107405Nevermind, they didn't even win "Downloadable Game of the Year". That was Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. They simply won "Best Debut" in the GDC Awards.
>shitty one hour long walking sim with a fag twist>people really argued about it like it was this super important or controversial workwhat the fuck is going on in video games man
>>738107638early 2010s had an incestious cohort of gaming journalist helping their friends and espousing their opinions. Shit like this wouldn't happen nowadays, mostly because that entire industry died.

>>738106559Somebody actually plays these games? I thought they were just there to demoralize people and to add padding to the front page, to make it more difficult to find what you’re actually looking for. Which is a common sales tactic they use now these days is to just add like tons of random shit mixed in with the good products.
>>738106559This game won GOTY the same way Moonlight won Best Picture
Gone Homo was before I was aware of all the woke shit so I legit went into the game expecting this masterpiece. I was fully ready to go explore the house and find out what the story is, ready to solve the puzzles and work like a detective examining every detail.Then I played it and you literally just walk and a magic narration shows up in your head telling you the story.When I realized the story was about two lesbians running away together it finally clicked and I realized this is what we are doing now and they are just using video games to push an agenda.
>>738107638They really wanted lgbt shit in the media back then. So keep in mind, this was pre Covid days. They had to prep people into believing a war was possible, which was mostly done through tv and games and forums. These huge mass slaughtering of human events take a decent amount of planning. Things like a gaming award show, are nice in theory, but in practice we can’t actually have that type of thing. They just use it basically for their own agendas for world domination. The aliens control that stuff to control human behavior.
>>738109069Yea dude they literally just killed like hundreds of millions of people kek.
>>738109069>Gone Homo was before I was aware of all the woke shit so I legit went into the game expecting this masterpieceMine was a similar case only I didn’t know about the game at all. I just saw that it was free on gold, downloaded it, played it and was deeply underwhelmed by it all. And I was actually engaged I was exploring the house, coming up with ideas of what could of happened based on shit I found like how the government might have kidnapped everyone given the dad wrote a book on the Kennedy assassination. And when I found out it was just “you sister ran away from home to be gay” I could only think “that’s it” all that build up and bullshit for something that could have been said in a note left on the fucking side table by the door or on the kitchen table? It just came off as anticlimactic and utterly unnecessary. I felt like I wasted my time, which is a shame because it has a great atmosphere, it managed to be comfy and spooky at the same time given.
