What are you going to do when it wins GOTY? There is no way it doesn't.
>>715589487 (OP)zero chance in hell. we've already seen the mediocre assassin's creed style gameplay footage
>>715589487 (OP)Not be surprised. Dragon Age Inquisition won the first game awards show GOTY. TLOU2 won it one year too. Culturally speaking "journalists" have very similar taste and vote accordingly. The actress herself just makes them more eager.
>>715589642Game journalists will vote for it simply because of the main actress' personality and comments towards gamers. Every one of them agrees with her.
>>715589487 (OP)KCD2 and Clair Obscure have outpaced any gay Console trash
>>715589487 (OP)Fairly sure Expedition 33 will take it but I wouldn't be surprised if Yotei did too.
>>715589487 (OP)Continue to not respect game journos because they all get filtered by games made for children.
Tell me GOTY has any prestige when the people voting are the ones that got filtered by something like this? No wonder we need to give every M rated game Sonic's homing attack, basic positioning in 3D space is too complicated for a "mature adult's" mind.
>>715590293You're right, but the average gamer still puts a lot of worth into what games wins.
Remember when journos used to kinda dislike the game? One ugly woman changes so much.
>>715590626They see ugly characters as a bonus.
>>715589487 (OP)Not really care and continue to play old games I suppose. I mean, the liberal devs made their point loud and clear. Modern gaming isn't for me so I don't really pay much attention to it outside of getting a laugh out of it when some big game fails or some studio goes under.
If it pisses off the chuds, then that's all that matters.
Not care, just like always.
>>715589868TLOU2's story is lame but outside of that it deserved the GOTY. Game is solid.
*tap tap* Clair Obscur has got that locked already.
>>715589487 (OP)If this game beats Expedition 33, California deserves all of its wildfires.
>>715589487 (OP)I won't buy it.
I won't pirate it.
I won't ever think about it.
"GOTY" means absolutely fuck-all and carries no value.
That's what I thought when Spider-Man 2 was announced.
I'm looking forward to Yotei. But it looks like another okay-ish/somewhat disappointing Sony sequel. Nothing is standing in the way of E33 unless Silksong shadow drops. It has been the only game this year that was genuinely surprising, then unforgettable. Instant classic. No sequel game is touching it.
The only time an outrage bait game won game of the year was TLOU2. You act like it's a common thing, but they usually go with pretty safe inoffensive choices. No one was offended by Astro Bot or Elden Ring or God of War
>>715592310God of War is a progressive turd, though.
This will goty this year and ND's new game will win next year. Chuds can't stop taking Ls.
>>715589642>mediocre assassin's creed style gameplayThats precisely why it'll win and sell 50 billion copies.
>goty
Show me a more meaningless term than this.
Devs can just call their own game "game of the year", there's no punishment for doing so. No one fucking cares, there's no consequences because they can just say that some blog named their game GOTY if anyone asks (no one asks who the fuck would?). Every industry gets checked for fraud, false advertising etc. EXCEPT for video games. There's no video game police. It doesn't fucking matter. My cock and balls are GOTY because I voted them to be so now you have to suck them.
>>715589785Why does this game look like you've taken eye drops to dilate your pupils?
>>715589487 (OP)Hope it does for the amount of seething it will cause. If it's good I'll be playing it on PC because that state of play was awesome.
