Is TGA rigged?

Of course, it is, no one fucking cares about astrobot or whatever this thing is called.

If the TGA was rigged for Sony, then surely they would have won for Spider-Man 2, Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet and Clank in the previous years?

Astro Bot won at other awards shows too, are they rigged?

>>714757206 (OP)
I liked astro bot so I’ll say no

>>714757779
They had to fork over immeasurable amounts of money to prevent the presenters from calling all of those game "hot steaming piles of garbage" live on stage.
Even then you can see them almost say it.
Astrobot by comparison is just a 3D Mario clone with product placement.

>>714758993
I find it a mix between super mario galaxy, super mario 3d world, and kirby and the forgotten land

Concord "won" TGA, but then it tripped into the path of a combine harvester so Astro Bot had to show up to collect.

Not only did Sony rig the awards, it's also completely acceptable because video games are considered a shit medium. That's why it's okay for developers like Zoe Quinn to be directly affiliated with their reviewer.

>>714757206 (OP)
Nope, Astro Bot is probably the best game I've ever played. Shit's amazing.

>>714761384
But why do they look like that? Are they the original characters transformed into looking like that?

Wouldn’t say it’s the best but it’s really damn good

>no one fucking cares about astrobot
This, despite being somehow a GOTY winner and media sensation, no one played or talked about it.
it was ONLY ever popular in the mediasphere. No one cared about it outside of that, and we all know it
>platformers in general are dead and not popular
>this isnt a particularly good platformer to begin with
>even a big sony platformer name like crash bandicoot flopped with crash 4
>somehow this dead genre circlejerk game beat out all the much more popular games people actually spoke about
never once has there ever been a more media shilled game.
Reminder: 90% of the Game Awards vote power comes from journalists, not gamers. Gamers never cared about astrobot, the journalists did. And on top of that, you can learn every single place that was shilling this game is actually an incestuous growth of the same mainstream media machine gamergate tried to expunge before.

>>714765452
Baldur's Gate 3 was way more shilled than Astro Bot and did not deserve the win. Zelda is an actual game that was robbed.

Theres dlc coming to it? Is it more free dlc or paid dlc?
>>714765452
I bought it on release and 100% it.

>>714761913
It's probably the best Sony game in the past decade (since it's actually a game and not an interactive movie bullshit), but I definitely wouldn't call it the best game ever. Astro Bot definitely needs more of a legacy before it can get to that point, something that actually rivals some of the games that cameo in the game itself.

>>714765452
Weren't journalists complaining that Astro Bot winning the Game Awards would set a bad precedent in game development? If anything, I saw more regular people praising Astro Bot for not being the usual Sony slop.

>>714766775
It's more free DLC. Hard levels instead of speed run levels.

Quick guide for newfags that joined this summer:

I wonder how the next Astro Bot game would be like without being a rehash of the last couple of games. Should it stray away from the VIP bot concept, or should it double down by making every level based on a different franchise?

>>714774256
I’d prefer if it being more original as to help build its identity more

No just super incompetent, Dave the diver dev said, after he was nominated for indie game of the year despite not being indie, that there is no formal submission process for developers, is just game journos invited by geoff not knowing what they are doing when nominating games and shit

atsto bot winning anything and getting rave reviews was just the game journos' way of apologizing to sony for not shilling concord hard enough and making them waste half a billion dollars, the mass astro bot shilling from the entire industry literally happened within days of concord getting shut down

is this the thread?

SEXO

I will never understand the hate for astrobot. Its the most charming platformer game I seen in decades. Even if you get rid of all the references, is still a 9/10 or 8/10 game.
I was shocked seeing it win but not that surprised after sitting on it for a bit, astrobot is something new and familiar that people needed.

>>714757206 (OP)
it's not outright paid for but the issue is that the voting body is still compromised in many ways. First, they're all faggots so they'll obviously be more lenient with faggoty stuff. Second, they're journos, influencers, and podcasters aka the new access media so they'll always want to stand next to celebrities and bigwigs. But the third and most important issue that compromises them is the fact that they aren't actual gamers. They're failed wannabe writers like Jacob Geller, Chris Stuckmann tier retards like skillup, low iq mongrels like tamoor hussain.

These people are all desperate to feel like they're legitimate, serious grownups engaged in a real artistic endeavor, yet none of them will do something like play all of expedition 33 on expert the whole way through, really evaluate every aspect of the game, and realize that the writing is a horribly amateurishly paced and botched telling of a story that isn't half as novel as the writers seem to think it is (fucking inception of all films made nearly a billion dollars by packaging the same "artists getting lost in their art to cope with loss" narrative for mass audiences like 15 years ago) and the gameplay is the most underbaked dogshit imaginable, it's as unhinged to call E33 an "innovation" for turn based games as it was to call the first Last of Us game an "innovation" for stealth games. They can't evaluate the game on the basis of the fact that NOTHING in the main quest, even on expert, pushes you to engage with lumina or team synergies and instead focuses only on making you learn parry or dodge timings. In a few years, no E33 fan will remember a single main quest encounter for anything interesting it did with TURN BASED MECHANICS, the only things they'll remember will be parry strings for combos. They'll talk about E33's combat the way they talk about souls combat. But the TGA voters don't care about this.

1/2

>>714757206 (OP)
>>714800764
What they care about is what the game Says, both about the industry, as well as about themselves. To them, these games aren't games meant to be evaluated for what they actually are. They're conversation pieces that are meant to make these journos feel like they're sending a meaningful message to the industry, as well as to the journos' disappointed fathers. They want the world to think they're very serious people doing very meaningful work, so the actual quality doesn't matter. Because THEY CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTENT AND EXECUTION. these people gave bioshock infinite a 94 on metacritic when it came out because they called the writing "masterful" and the gameplay "exciting". They don't actually care that that's complete bullshit. They just want to believe it's true because it makes them feel better about what they've decided to dedicate their lives to doing. They spend barely any time on every game that comes out and pretend to have a worthwhile opinion on ALL of them. They have to constantly pump out multiple videos every week and give no fucks about actually understanding what works and what doesn't about any of the games they cover. They want to write the history of gaming but they can't even keep up with the here and now. That's the biggest issue with the voters.

The Oscars are unironically infinitely less embarrassing than the game awards because while the Oscars voters are often stuck up and arrogant out of touch prudes, The Game Awards voters are desperate dogs looking for validation.

2/2

>The Oscars are unironically infinitely less embarrassing than the game awards because while the Oscars voters are often stuck up and arrogant out of touch prudes, The Game Awards voters are desperate dogs looking for validation.
If I can add onto your point I think both Award shows are so horrifically fucked purely because voters don't need to have played / watched the thing to give an opinion. The Oscars just made it a rule after nearly a century of doing it, and the Game Awards doesn't even consider it. There are votes from institutions and judges that are based purely on 'vibes' and what their outlet said even if they weren't the ones at the outlet to say it. The Gamer's Choice votes are always so dog shit because gamers vote for the most boring shit as the best game ever like last year's so they're not much better.

>>714801313
Yeah I agree with that. Honestly wonder if it's even possible to have a SOMEWHAT valid GOTY voting system considering how obnoxiously long most games are. At least with the film stuff, you can reasonably enforce requirements to watch like ten or twenty screeners. How do you do that with games that are always 50+ hours long? Even if your voters weren't retarded journos with zero gaming acumen, it's still a bizarre concept to try and get through even ten of them with enough of a meaningful grasp on their quality to rank them. It's just always going to boil down to a popularity contest for whatver the Twitter resetera crowd has decided to congregate around. You'll barely ever get a winner that ages well overtime as a result.
