Now that the dust has settled. Who was the true GOTY?
E33 literally broke award records. Silksong is only remembered because one of their 3 staff members trooned out last week.
Overall skong, but I do think Simon mogs any boss in skong
This year is going to be really boring as literally nothing has any chance at all against GTA6. Even if GTA6 ended up being shit it would still win just for hype reasons.
>>744599270No matter who wins, we lose...
>>744599270Whichever genre you prefer.
never played e33 but silksong deserved to lose just because of how much they botched the endgame
I pray Mixtape gets it so both fanbases cry tears of blood
Never played E33 but it won retroactively because one of the Silksong devs went full tranny
It brings me so much joy knowing that the Silktroons who constantly raided e33 threads are now having to go full damage control for their own dev team now that it is a cold hard fact that Silksong is a troon game LMAO
>>744599563Duskbloods
>>744599270Silksong since it's actually good and didn't need to pay jeets and Keighley to astroturf it.
>>744599270Donkey Kong
>>744599270
>>744599390E33 won awards in categories it didn't belong in which is nothing new surprisingly
>>744599714Online games really dont ever win goty, It only happened once and only because there was nothing else to really win that year.
>>744599726>>744599742>trannies still seethingLMAOOOOO
>>744599742>7m copies at 20 dollars>E33 sold 8 million copies at 45 Brutal
>>744599270Definitely not the parryslop
E33 easy
>>744599960soi face in thumbnail = do not recommend this channel.
>>744599270GOD33 of course
>>744599842They're not in competition you faggotBut even if they were, silksongs sales split amongst 3 devs is a whole lot more than e33s sales split amongst 30
>>744600173Yea and E33s sales are going to a new game for Sandfall, Silksongs are buying HRT for their coder.
People who are seething about Silksong: people who played it and found it was shitPeople who hate E33: people who never played it and are parroting the same thing they heard their favorite YouTuber or /v/celeb said It’s a simple fact that Silksong was disappointing meanwhile basically everyone who actually played e33 loved it
It's insane how fast Excrament 33 died despite the massive shillingNow threads of it have zero discussion of the game itself and only exist for shitposting
>>744599270E33 was the best one, made a lot of people very mad like BG3.Silksong was great too.
weird schizo thread
>>744599270Abiotic factor
>>744599390There are more awards every year so it's completely meaningless.
>>744600278yeah I haven't seen a big E33 thread pop up on reddit in forever even though that's the home of th fanbasemeanwhile BG3 posts still hit the front page
>>744599270both are games for tr00ns
>>744599270E33 won already
>>744600278>he doesn’t even realize that the picture he’s using is making fun of him LMAO
>>744599270Silksong is great, but it's "only" more of HK, so for me it's the new thing, E33.
>>744600278based post posting to make expediFION 33° de franc-maçonnerie faggots mad.
>>744600260Jealous much?
>>744599662It'll be funny if MixTape gets nominated, I could see that happening. I don't think it'll win anything though
>>744600278E33 is a mediocre RPG that would have never been discussed beyond its release month if it came out back during the PS3 era. But TBS RPG fans were so starved for a game that they inflated a 6/10 to goty.
>>744600278>>744600454>>744600609>samefagging Reddit troon is schizophrenicMany such cases
>>744600725>Aquajeet hates E33Not beating the brown allegations
>>744600278Truth nuke. I only ever see E33 posted to attack Final Fantasy and Metaphor
>>744600725If this game came out during the Ps3 era we would have 1000 clones of it and it would be considered one of the best games of all time, the switch from turn based combat to real time systems never would have happened and we would be in an era of JRPGs with actually unique mechanics.
>>744600725Your favourite game would have never been discussed if it came out literally any other day, trust me bro, I know what I'm talking about, no, I'm not going to prove it.
>he’s still samefagging kek Silktroons are NOT sending their best
>>744599270Silksong is a much better game in general but even within it's genre Silksong is an exceptional metroid clone but E33 is only a mid (faux) JRPG.
>>744599270E33 won, BG3 won, /v/ lost
Silksong’s story was boring and its gameplay was a chore even by metroidvania standards.E33 by far
>>744601005BG3>Metaphor>>>>>>>>>>E33
>>744601005>Bear's Gay 3
>>744599593>Whichever genre you prefer.Kek
>>744601064This but replace Metaphor with E33
>>744601005Yeah, E33 won
>>744599270E33 obviously
>>744599270Rebirth!
>>744599270I don't think E33 even cracks the top 5 games of 2025.
Dusty old bones full of green dust
>>744601902Name the top 5 then
>>744599270E33 can have itTroonsong is just for trannydiscordfaggots
>>744601272I love MVs and dislike RPGs, so Silksong wins for me. It simply has better gameplay.
Neither, take your abhorrently narrow algorithm decided tastes and social media repost and shove it back up your nigger ass.
>>744602945>it simply has better gameplay
>>744603171You must prefer turn-based RPGs.
>>744599270I did not care about E33. it's normalfag's first X niggas in a row game
>>744599270Just finished Tevi yesterday and it's crazy how much better it is than Silksong, i'll try to get 100% now meanwhile Silksong overstayed it's welcome way too much and i had no desire to continue after finishing act 3.
>>744603449>I had no desire to keep playing the game after finishing the gameOkay
e33 had a very interesting narrative and wonderful music but silksong was overall an amazing game in every capacity. additionally the fact that silksong also made /v/ cry and shit it's pants for 4 months was an unexpected bonus point too. silksong did win the steam goty so at least it got that.
>>744603675It's a metroidvania you dumbfuck retard.
>>744603848not him but what
>>744599270Put these both aside, Silksong was a disappointment after the amount of time it took to see and E33 is a basic-bitch RPG with sad music.That said, looking over the library for alternatives, 2025 might have been the bleakest year overall for games in the last 40 years. If I was hard-pressed to pick a GOTY (and remakes/ports don't count), it would come down between Fantasy Life i, Ninja Gaiden 4 and Split Fiction, and my review for all three of those would basically be: s'alright, I guess.
>>744603848My faggot anon the game is structured in such a way that to reach act III you have to do the majority of the content anyways. By the time you reach the final boss you will have seen everything in the game barring a few locations or bosses that are super well hidden
>>744600173>They're not in competition you faggot>thread about both games competing against each other
>>744599270Neither will be remember after November.
>>744599270e33 wins easily, the other is slop
>>744599270The original game.Fuck sequels.
>>744605090>The original game.You joke right? E33 didn't do anything original.
>>744605161Neither did you
>>744599728The Donkey Kong game was so forgettable that everyone stopped talking about it after the first month. It had no cultural impact.Take Nintendo's cock out of your mouth, you soi guzzling cuck.
>>744599270>Who was the true GOTY?The one /v/ still seethes over on a daily basis.
>>744599270the shitsong deva didn't even go to the gory awards because they knew they got btfo by sandfall
>>744605321>because they knew they got btfo by sandfallthis kek
>>744599270Silksong
>>744605271still multiple threads a day no less
>>744599270Neither.
>>744599742>steamtard awards
>>744599270If an indie game as massively hyped (not even necessarily quality, just hype, since that's all these awards are anyway) as Silksong couldn't win it in such an incredibly weak year for bigger budget games than I just don't see an indie game winning it ever.
>>744603449No sorry silksong mogs tevi. You have freedom of exploration in silksong, no retarded story
>>744599270https://2025.vidyagaemawards.com/winners
>last played the game in December>/v/ still obsessing over E33jesus christ you terminally online brown's need a hobby
>>744599270silksong if you actually like playing videogamese33 if you're a storyfag and like shitposting about videogames
>>744599270silksong because it's the most successful trans game EVER nothing comes close
>/v/ still coping over E33 domination
>>744599563Isn't GTA 6 releasing after the cutoff anyway? That's going to win all the 2027 TGA awards instead
>>744599796>Online games really dont ever win goty>tfw the 2019 highest-rated GOTY nominee only lost because it's a fighting game which journalists have an aversion to.And people still take the GOTY awards seriously.
>>744599270>IMG_6995.jpgcan we start banning phoneniggers?
>reposting some literally who screenshot on your phone from last year because you're still assmad that E33 won
>>744605924OP here. I actually wanted to laugh at Silksong for losing hard. I don’t know who you’re referring to but the dev trooning out after how much they seethed in e33 threads is hilarious
>>744599270>trannyvania
Both are great imo for different reasons. I personally prefer Silksong but E33 is up there as well. But holy shit the forced tribalism on this board is really getting tiresome.
>>744600278Only ragebait, porn, and THAT GAME generate long last discussions here. You’re shit out of luck if you want to talk about video games on the video games board
>>744599270deltarune
>>744599270E33. Both are great though.
>>744605413it was forgotten no one even played it the game was ue5slop aislop no one cares about e33 it was anime without the porn
>>744599270E33 was the most astroturfed asset flip of all timenobody mentions it anymore
>>744606312>deltatroon
>>744606336look at this broken bot
goty was totk
>>744606336>>744606365>Silktroons have schizophrenia Many such cases
>>744606336>>744606336yikes
>>744599270Silksong is hollow knight slop. E33 redefined a genre.
>>744605513Tevi is cunny kino so it mogs Silksong. That's how it works, buddy.
>>744606456>redefined a genre>its just the mario & luigi rpg system but worse
>>744606312>deltachad
>>744606410>goty was totk
>>744599390wait it was 3? I thought it was only 1
>>744606425never played silksong
>>744599270Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
>>744599270Escape From Duckov
>>744606510the art is unfortunately westsloppawish they kept the old art style
>>744599270silksong easily. Wasn't even my favorite game though. I didn't like E33.
>>744599270Silksong is an indie game, E33 is not. There is nothing to compare.
>>744606312Only when the full game is out
>>744599270Both are great indie games
>>744607090E33 isn't an indie game.
>>744599270neither
I LOV3 3EE 8T Z
>>744599270I think Silksong is the better game, but I have more respect for the E33 devs and the SS devs were little bitches who didn't bother showing up so I wound up rooting against them.
>>744606984What does that have to do with the GOTY award?
Nothing special about yeeeet another soulslop metroidvania, especially since Ender magnolia released the same year and beat silkslop in it's own genre.E33 at least tried to be interesting by being a turn based jarpig with realistic graphics in 2025
It would have been the most based thing in gaming history if the E33 developers turned down the Best Indie and Debut Indie awards.
>>744610079The most based thing they did was snuffing the award from hollowfags though, there are way better indies that would deserve that award anyway
Neither of those.
>>744599270Expedition 33. Silksong is nice and all, but I haven't been captured by game like E33 had me in what feels like 15 years.
>>744606621Reread the sentence retard
>>744600269>People who hate E33: people who never played itI think there is a group of people who actually played it, but are too autistic to connect with the themes of E33 and to them, it's completely bewildering why people like it. You need some basic connection to what it means to be human and loss in order to fully appreciate it.
>>744599270Beyond Citadel
>>744606312>game so based the tranny janny had to ban threads on sightit won something alright
>>744610450Enough secondary gooner
>>744610543Bitch please I'm a primary gooner
>>744610450a game can either have good gameplay or good porn, never both
>>744610543>>744610845seethe because of a japanese coomer mogged your boomer shooter slop
>>744610845Good thing beyonds porn sucks I guess
>>744610932A coomer shooter if you will
>>744610482The janny had a heart attack when he saw Deltarune threads hitting 1k replies back to back.Not a single other game managed to do this btw.
>>744599270I see a exp 33 thread, I hide it.
>>744611394But deltarune is forgettable indieslop. It doesnt even have good music. Undertale at least had some jams.
>>744611638>It doesnt even have good musicLol, stop being a contrarian. Deltarune's music is just as good as Undertale.
>>744612026Its just bleep bloop faux nes ripoffs. When he isnt plagiarizing earthbound music.
>>744612026nothing compares to hopes and dreams in deltatroon
>>744599270Silksong had tranny vibes all along and the dev already emasculated himself and trooned
>>744603449Tevi was awful. How the dev went from a masterpiece like Rabi-Ribi to this crap is beyond me.
>>744605227DK had motion until that overpriced "rogue-lite" DLC came out a month after release
Silksong is the best game in practically every respect.I don't know if anyone uses this term for video games, but E33 is the best example of a "canned game."
>>744611638in that case this board is EXTRA fucked if a handful of furries are able to drum up significantly more discussion than most triple A games can here. deer pussy is more powerful than your favorite game
>>744612368>silksong haters have nothing else to cling to other than a dev trooning out
>>744614375If the hacks didn't somehow show you retards this is a ghost town that only exists for shitposting I don't know what will. Actual discussions are for altchans and personal friend groups
I play a lot of strategy games, and honestly e33 was not gripping me. I dont really like games where you just buff up someone or manipulate the action economy which is what i hear the meta is, and the dodge/parry system makes the fights about pattern memorization. I just stopped playing after 6ish hours and everyone told me the story and the builds really ramp up during act 2. If I can play shovelware like mario and rabbids and have fun the whole time, then the goty should be able to hold my attention. Maybe I gave up too soon and the game is mindblowing, but i have about 10 other strategy games i would play first. Never tried silksong so i cant comment. Honestly these past 4-5ish years have been dreadful for gaming with only a few good ones sprinkled around.
>>744616546What was your GOTY last year? I stand by mine being Beyond Citadel
>>744599270Silksong was one of those games you force yourself to finish and then never pick up again.
>>744616786After checking the list, probably bf6. What a joke of a year
>>744599270I had no interest in either of them
