is the cult like obsessive fandom on /v/ for e33 indicative that it will win GOTY? or will death stranding 2 pull through?

hm... I don't know

>>714103725 (OP)
Ds2 is too weird and tedious for normies
E33 would set another expectation for developers if it wins so its gona get just like BG3 did a bit ago

>>714103725 (OP)
They will both lose to Mafia or Ghosts or some other surprise hit. It's just like how everyone was hyped for Elden Ring or FFXVI early in the year and it was forgotten by voting time.

>indie game with a beautiful and original setting
>overpriced console exclusive sequel made by a dude who really just wants to make movies

>>714104446
You forget that the Game Awards are essentially a Sony Fashion Show and suck Kojima's dick as often as they possibly can. With DS2 having a way better critical reception than DS1 they can even justify giving it the win without much pushback

>>714103725 (OP)
>>714104423

Everyone loves the small studio success story of E33 so its gonna take GOTY

DS2 easy, goty gets whoever buys it. E33 alrdy got disqualified with the journo "why small teams bad" articles.

>>714104861
DS1 was more divisive among critics when it came out.

DS2 seems to be releasing on PC this October, so I'm not even sure if that really counts.

>>714103725 (OP)
KCD2 hopefully

>>714105027
unless it's on the level of nu zelda, it can be a good game but not GOTY

>>714103725 (OP)
Clair Obscur is good and fun but DS2 looks incredible, I’m still working through the first though.

>>714105212
That's a preposterous statement. If it's great then it deserves it just as much as Death Stranding and E33.

>>714104614
Yeah but the Goy Awards isn't about Nintendo games

>>714104642
This.
If Kojima released this in October like Death Stranding 1, he could have easily stolen a bunch of GOTYs. That's what Metaphor Refantazio did to steal a bunch of GOTYs from FF7 Rebirth.

>>714105289
They only shill E33

>>714105294
why? unless it does something dramatically more than its predecessors, it's just a game. e33 revitalizes turn based rpgs in a age no one believe in it anymore.

E33 is pretentious trans slop so it will of course win the queer awards

>>714105357

death stranding 2 is pretentious trans slop so it will of course win the queer awards

>>714105496
>e33 revitalizes turn based rpgs in a age no one believe in it anymore.
We get plenty of turn based RPG games a year. You just don't play them and just follow what reddit or YouTubers tell you. Not to say the games bad but this weird pedestal you Redditors are attempting to place it on is disingenuous.

>>714105627
It definitely would have beaten Metaphor Refantazio in a lot more categories if it was released in October.

FF7 Rebirth was a critical darling but its February release made it a distant memory by December. It also didn't help that it was a PS5-only game which is also a negative for DS2.

Basically, if you're gonna release a PS5-only game, releasing late in the cycle guarantees you will not win GOTY.

>>714103725 (OP)
E33 was actually so good it pisses me off its being compared to shit like DS2. Nobody even liked the first one.

>>714105816
which ones?

>>714105727
Nintendo EPD game anon. Only Rockstar gets their ass licked like them. Don't know the industry well huh?

>>714105830

Just in the last year off the top of my head.
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

You E33 enthusiasts are casuals.

>>714106242
Don't forget the apologists. I've never seen so many people scream and shout "its not gay its not that gay its not that gay" over a game that's so unapologetically faggy in every corner of its being.

>>714106259

remakes shouldn't count.
>persona 3
was released in NA in 2010
are you talking about some random spinoff of it?

sorry, every year we DO get turn based rpgs, but some of your examples annoyed me.

>>714106259
how is persona 3 still considered a new release, you idiots will eat anything they regurgitate

>>714106743
>>714106760
They came out within the last year and had a dev cycle of at least 2 years. Them being remakes doesn't disqualify them for shit. My point still stands, the industry makes turn based games all the time.

>>714106259
Proof enough to me the anti-e33 shills are just brown people enraged whites made a better game.

>>714106259
as a huge ttyd fan, the remake is dogshit compared to the original. it doesn’t deserve any nominations

E33 will win but I don't want it to win because I don't want devlopers to focus on Stories intersted of more interactivity and engaging mechanics

>>714106910
E33 shills are the ones that keep having to shout and make thread's that say "Look at our game!" " It's GotY!!!" "GotY btw!". It's annoying and underage as fuck. You fags are definitely lower then DS2 and Nintendo fans. You don't even know what turn-based games are being made. E33 is literally coming off as your guys "baby's first RPG turn-based" game.

>>714104446
>another expectation for developers
what, that nostalgia bait sells?

>>714107014
It's not about nominations dumb fuck. He's making a lying claim the industry doesn't care for turn-based games. Which is blatantly false and a lie. It reeks of trying to make a false claim for unrighful validation points, to bolster the games reputation. It's not "bringing back turn-based" because we were already getting them before it dropped. If anything Atlus is the dev in the last decade keeping turn-based relevant.

Then what the fuck are you even going off about lmao is you're point literally just "well in the last 20 years they've made a few so he's not 100% logically correct in his original statement"

>>714107247
Better game, better reviews and better reception than Falcom and Atlus games + Redditbirth. Keep crying and moaning, otaku-kun.

>>714105830
>Basically, if you're gonna release a PS5-only game, releasing late in the cycle guarantees you will not win GOTY
This doesn't mean anything. Spider-man 2 was released almost at the end of october, and that piece of shit didn't win in any category it was participating, let alone GOTY. it won 0 out of 7 nominations, by your logic it should have won in at least some of them. FFVII Rebirth almost suffered the same fate if it wasn't for the soundtrack award.

>>714108267
It objectively doesn't have better reviews or sales than Persona 5. Jesus fucking Christ. More goddamn lies from E33 fans. This is literally your fucking first turn based game you've ever beat huh?

>>714103725 (OP)
The answer is obvious.

Donkey Kong

>>714108523
Sekiro says hi

>>714103725 (OP)
DS 2 is a pretentious excuse for Kojimbo to bang C-listers - that & it's an exclusive.
E33 is a masterfully executed piece of art.
Thing is GOTY is a corrupted ESG/DEI-whore, so it's meaningless - play whatever you like.

>>714103725 (OP)
If E33 doesn't at least win an award for its soundtrack then I lose all faith in videogames.

>>714108950
You've already posted multiple times in this thread E33 shill

>>714104937
yeah, because critics actually gave half a shit about DS1, as opposed to the zero shits they give about DS2

>>714109060
As annoying as you fucks are starting to come across trying to force recognition on the game, not winning shit would be karma you deserve.

>>714109064
first post, but even if it wasn't - so what? Disregarding your faggotry, GOTY means shit - they crowned BG3 & TLOU2 the greatest of all time, so it's clear they don't anything about gaming.

>>714109228

>>714108671

>>714103725 (OP)
the only genuinely interesting and great games that released this year so far, were DS2 and KCD2, E33 looks like pretentious millenial writing slop and from little what i have seen, it doesn't even have fun gameplay, also
>UE5
this should automatically discard you from any awards

Expedition 33 will win because it has the wholesome big chungus underdog story to follow up last year's speach.
I skipped it myself but I'm currently playing DS2 and its disappointing so far even though I like the first one. Everyone was sucking MH Wilds off when it came out but it seems like public opinion has come around on how vapid the game, so its probably safe to say its out of the running.
I'm not sure what else there is to nominate, DOOM 6 seems to have been contentious and didn't sell as well as Eternal which lost its year, nobody cares about the newest AC outside of arguing about the black dude. Was Kingdom Come 2 liked? If the new Metroid Prime doesn't get delayed it could probably make the cut. Fucking Nightreign might get nominated at this point.

>>714109692
ok zoomzoom

>>714109783
>speach
Just kill me now, its so over

>>714109783
KCD2 is very well liked by pretty much everyone except /pol tards and grifters on Xitter and Youtube, almost everyone who played it considers it a GOTY candidate if nothing else, also one of the top selling vidya this year.

>>714109964

Neither. Silksong will trounce both with ease.

>>714103725 (OP)
Death Stranding 2, but to be fair Kojima gets a bonus for being Kojima and entertaining us for three decades. Dude is 61 and has had health issues, so he doesn't have very many games left in him. Journos also like to suck off Sony, so there is that aspect as well.

>>714103725 (OP)
DS2, because E33 is turn-cringe trash.

>>714103725 (OP)
Ex33 will win because (((subversion))) is what wins these days, not actually good storytelling or gameplay.

>>714103725 (OP)
There will be no goty, like how there wasn't one last year, because no good games have come out

>>714106242
>bg3 got utterly glazed by media outlets
You seem to forget journos were rushing to AAA devs defense when the game came out and saying gamers are unreasonable to expect the same level of quality bg3 provided. Only when everyone outside the media circuit started glazing it did they start to backtrack on that narrative. It's too bad that the discussion around it became engulfed by the culture war, it's got it's flaws but rarely are they addressed outside of the surface level 'muh gay romance options'.

>>714111000
E33 have literallu 0 nogs as characters.No fags and np commy agenda.

Why do you lie?

I am 30 hours into DS2 and I still haven't seen even a single nigger.

Second half looks grim compared to first half this year. Only one I'm looking forward to is Metroid Prime 4 even though the switch 1 version will be ass to play.

>>714111069
Bloodlones coming out? I thought it cancelled

>>714113963
devs said on their discord like a week or 2 ago that its planned for October this year

>>714115180
Mario Odyssey has the same Metacritic score as BotW and released in October. By the release date logic that should've won

>>714114214
Keep in mind faggots would detract from Remake and Rebirth because they had to literally go out of their way and sit and wait for dialogue to claim the game is LGBTQ focused and has a lot of black people in it.
Granted E33 still is shit regardless.

>>714114214
If it isn't important, then why have turn-cringe fags been spamming that there are a few nigger NPCs in Rebirth for one year straight?

Randomly picked up E33 like last week, didn't realize it was popular since I've been focused on offline shit.

Damn that game was good. Played it basically nonstop. Always love when a game has such a fun premise like that.

That said I don't see it beating TCoAaL

E33 is a much more impressive and impactful game considering its circumstances. DS2 is a bullshit vanity project that is gay and made for retards who think Kojimbo is some kind of genius. Kojima was carried by Tomokazu Fukushima 20 years ago and has since been outed as a creatively bankrupt hack who'd sell his soul to sniff the farts of B-list Hollywood stars.

>>714118184
