Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning GOTY guaranteed at this point or are there any other contenders that haven't been released yet?

>>715698505 (OP)
The gameplay loops were pretty shit so I can see people that aren't marketers like OP not really voting for it.

as far as I'm concerned it's game of the decade for now

>game developed by French studio
Not gonna play
stop shilling it

>>715698505 (OP)
ghost of yotei but ultimately I expect geoff to say it was the closest race ever regardless who wins. there's also silksong but it won't win anything.

>>715698615
>Ghost of Yotei
Expedition 33 winning GOTY is guaranteed then

>>715698564
This. There's only Death Stranding and Ghost of Yotei and both are sequels so they don't deserve it. I've played DS2 and I actually think the story of DS1 was better.

>>715698505 (OP)
i just finished act 2 and its very disappointing, this shit was a 10/10 before that

>>715698505 (OP)
Guaranteed win for expedition

If it doesn't win it'll just prove how rigged the awards always are. Feel bad for Geoff because without 33, Death Stranding might have actually won.

>>715698505 (OP)
My vote goes to this one

>>715698505 (OP)
>GOTY
Just as irrelevant as the oscars.

>>715699538
Won't even get nominated.

>>715698505 (OP)
They already paid billions in marketing and shilling this coomer waifuslop why wouldn't they buy the award as well

>>715699641
based and redpilled

>>715699686
Whilst the game still is one of the best games in the past few years, when they mentioned that they did blind auditions for the voice actors that's clearly a lie. Getting Ben Starr and Jen English has clearly helped the marketing massively. The rest of the marketing is just because people enjoyed the game.

>>715699926
>a 7/10 rpg is one of the best game in years
Not a big achievement considering how shit big budget games have been over the last decade.

>game developed by French studio

I've been told this game is Paper Mario gameplay with Xenoblade 3's story. How accurate is that statement?

>>715698505 (OP)
Donkey Kong Bananza will win

>>715699686
>coomer waifuslop
What do you get out of talking out of your ass?

>>715700575
When you parry, you actually take 0 damage rather than just reducing it. It sounds like a small change but it makes all the difference
Enemies also frequently have multi-hit attacks with long attack strings
The game designer says he never played Paper Mario and just took the parrying from Sekiro

>>715698505 (OP)
Any institution that fails to recognise that Expedition 33 is game of the year does not deserve to exist.

>>715699926
Even if they really did blind auditions, Starr literally said he was hired because one of the guys recognized his voice from FF16 so it was hardly blind at that point

>>715701012
Retard

>>715701150
I hope it doesn't win because turn based games are awful and should go extinct

>>715701170
Everyone would have known Shadowheart's voice too.

>>715702282
Sure, I didn't say that they didn't. Just that Starr specifically told that story so it's confirmed in his case

>>715701240
I can already tell you're in your 20s or less.

I want it to win purely because I live off the tears of jrpg fans. Even jrpg diehards on reddit get so fucking mad at the mere mention of this game

>>715702429
notice how you never said i'm wrong

>>715702518
Nta but, being a zoomer, you are almost certainly non-white which means everthing you say, think, or do is wrong by default.

Silksong

...will release too late to even qualify

>>715702635
>everyone under 20 is non-white

Even mainstream media is backing off woke now (except a handful of diehard holdouts in california) that Trump is el presidente. Trash like GoY won't even be nominated.

>>715698505 (OP)
Keep dreaming.

>>715698505 (OP)
Hades 2 is possible but it seems like people made up their mind already

>>715698505 (OP)
remember when shills were shilling this crap so hard but now it's completely forgotten lmao

>>715702893
Looking at the demographics yes, that seems to be the case. Do you need a link to the census page translated into Spanish?

>>715698564
>as far as I'm concerned it's game of the decade for now
I'm guessing you haven't played many turn based RPGs

>>715698505 (OP)
why are you people so obsessed with having the media's approval of your taste

>>715698505 (OP)
This game had a shelf life of 4 weeks, it's over.

>>715698505 (OP)
Never heard of this, looks chinese. There wasn't a goty last year because there weren't any good games, and this uear is looking to be the same.

>>715698505 (OP)
yes it is, I don't like the game but I know it will be goty

>this shit
>winning goty

>>715704610
I fucking loved fighting Sprong early so much. Literally my favorite part of the entire game
>all those effects popping up on the counter
KINOOOOOOO

>>715698505 (OP)
Will probably not win goty but will get nominated which is also great

>>715703005
>Sequel to a game that already didn't win GOTY

>>715704670
That looks absolute ass

>>715704761
Thanks for the info, zoomie

>>715698505 (OP)
GOTY belongs to Samus

>>715704610
LMAO this looks like the webm of the space laser attack being dodged by some gigantic monster with a small sidestep, what utter garbage

>>715703514
Name your top 5 gamea

>>715704610
No wonder only shillbots and paid journos seem to like this slop

>>715698505 (OP)
It's all but guaranteed, it's a really good game

>>715704967
Of all time? Off the top of my head, Bioshock, Hollow Knight, Mass Effect, Hi-Fi Rush, Baldur's Gate 2.

>>715703129
Because despite thinking they are special snowflakes, most anons are craving the herd.

>>715704610
>all that shit on screen
so this is just xenoblade for racist western game journalists lmao

>>715698505 (OP)
E33's story is, objectively, pure garbage. The game gets hard-carried by the artstyle and music, and those aren't impressive if you ever had some causal exposure to European art.

>>715698505 (OP)
stopped playing towards the end of the second act. iamverysmart goober shit.

>>715698615
Silksong wins automatically if it comes out this year and has a 90+ rating on Metacritic.

>>715699029
>sequels so they don't deserve
This is possibly the most retarded argument coming from the shillbots.

>>715698505 (OP)
Nah, it's not guaranteed anything. It has tight competition between Split Fiction, Donkey kong, and Death Stranding. Could lose do another game between now and November. Reminder, Persona 5 had more praise than this game and it didn't win.

>>715698505 (OP)
Its guaranteed at this point

>>715698505 (OP)
Both it and Death Stranding 2 were great, it's going to be close.

>>715698505 (OP)
Silent Hill will have a much better story, but it's Konami so it probably won't even get a nomination. So yeah, E33 will win, but it doesn't deserve to.

>>715699538
This
>>715699649
It's literally the best game released this year
And the best wrpg in 2 decades

>>715704610
Actually disgusting.

>>715708484
Donkey Kong will take it spot

>>715708484
Redditcore bait.

>>715704610
What am I supposed to be seeing here?

>>715699538
garbage game

>>715707302
Its more like Persona 5 for racist karens who can't tolerate anime characters and "quirky" japanese humor according to them.

>>715707903
Lead writer is a Chinese woman, the game is funded by a nepo-baby + Netease. Go figure.

>>715698505 (OP)
Why do brown people hate this game so much?

You unironically can't deny 9.7/10. You have nothing.

Contrarians are the biggest faggots on /v/. Shut the fuck up. This game is by far the best all-round package in the last 10 years.

>>715708841
I heard that he was Jewish too!

>>715708696
>it's bad because it's turn-based!
>it's bad because the attacks aren't connecting
>it's bad because I don't understand the UI and there are a lot of popups
>it's bad because the webm has a low bitrate
pick one, he's been reposting the same webm for months

>>715708938
Keep crying chang, you are brown.

>>715704610
Fucking WHAT?

THIS is the game?
This mobile-tier slop is what faggots UNIRONICALLY think is one of the best games ever made?
If you see nothing wrong with this then kill yourself, I really don't know what else to say.

samefag

>>715698564
bg3 was too grand a scale to be outdone. people will still be posting new endings, side quests, builds, branching paths that have not been seen yet for years to come.

>>715710002
If only they actually fucking finished some paths, best girl is still unfinished and act 3 is messy

>>715709034
>no you

Look forward to seeing her at the game awards

>>715703061
I have. It's the best of the genre by far.
The user reviews agree with me. You can't find another game that's even close, they don't exist.
33 is the only game with a 9.7, the next highest game with actual ratings is a 9.4.
You're in a tiny minority that doesn't think this way.

>>715710203
Death Stranding 2 is the GOTY even though I think its a dogshit movie game because Hackjima has connections to the media mafia behind the GOTY, GOTY will not for political reasons have EXP33 win the award. LOL, imagine being cucked this hard.

>>715708938
It's the lack of anime artstyle despite sticking to all other JRPG conventions.

>>715710675
yikes...

>>715709031
>>it's bad because the attacks aren't connecting
I only just noticed this shit after you pointed it out.

>>715710880
Like I said, get cucked.

>>715708938
it's not gooner gacha
they are too low IQ to get the story and characters
it's too white
it's too kino
also they fucking suck at parries lmao

>>715710535
>The user reviews agree with me

It's crazy how much this appeals to low brow normies kek

>>715708597
Nope there are 6 spots, kcd 2 will fight right in with
E33, DS2, GOY, banana game (it looks shitty and cheap) and metroid

>>715711084
wow Mutahar really let himself go..

>>715711148
>two tendo games
Nah, Split Fiction or Yotei will take a slot

>>715710675
If it wins it just confirms it's bullshit, they've been somewhat consistent except when TLOU2 won instead of Tsushima RDR2 instead of God of War or even Monster Hunter World, dunno how the latter happened.

>>715711254
TLOU2 was Jewish propaganda (you can shoot at crosses but you can't shoot at the star of david, lol), hence why it had to win because they also had a Live Action series of it as well planned so they had to hype their shit up.

>>715710859
aka normaltranny bait

>>715711192
I already said goy
Sf studio already won a goty so it's seems unlikely they'll give them spot instead of kcd2, maybe they'll cut down one tendo game to give it a spot

>>715708675
E33 is quintessential Reddit-core

Seriously this is probably the most shoehorned "white people never seen black man act like this white people dumb black people great" writing ever. Seriously. At most it would've been.
> "Ah I've never seen one of your kind before, do tell me which realm do you hail from?"
Not
> "HURRDURR WHAT THE HELL IS A BLACK MAN!?!?!?"

>>715711254
Why would Tsushima beat TLOU2? The consistency is the highest rated NEW game usually wins. The upset being God of War over RDR2 and maybe one other game. Highest=Wins generally is the obvious answer. Tsushima is a mid 80s game on metacritic, its like the delusion that Wukong could win GOTY last year.

God of War over RDR2 is honestly mainly because its revamping an old IP to a new light.

>>715711254
>>715712093
RDR2 losing to GoW shows these awards don't matter. 7 years later and RDR2 is still relevant while GoW 2018 isn't.

>>715708783
garbage opinion

>>715712093
>Why would Tsushima beat TLOU2?
I guess that was more personal taste on my side. I have a PS5 and still won't buy TLOU2. But RDR2 should have won the other.

>>715712093
>Why would Tsushima beat TLOU2?
Because it's objectively the better game.
