>>715974314 (OP)
And only one of them got a 10/10 from IGN.

lol, two of these games I didn't even know were out. Anyways, the tranny RPG is going to sweep

>>715974530
DK doesn't really have RPG mechanics.

It will be Clair Obscur obviously, I don't think it's even close. It's also gonna get best soundtrack.

Honestly I'm just glad monke game doesn't suck.

Yes, and it's not going to win.

All three of those games are bad, paid-shill games. Incredible. Literally any other choice would be

>>715976379
Acknowledging that E33 will win at the Game Awards isn't the same as saying it's the best game.

Is everyone forgetting that Geoff and Kojima are really close friends? Geoff even went as far as to ban Konami from the Game Awards after they fired Kojima. I think it’s pretty hard for DS2 not to win it.

E33 is a lock for goty. pathetic tendoid thread, bananza doesn't deserved to even be mentioned next to E33

>>715977334
Nintendo fans exist in a superposition where with one breath they brag about sales and copies and Famitsu and ratings and how "their" company is the Apple Disney titan who won gaming, then with the other breath LARP as plucky underground indies that are snubbed by the evil Sony Journo Hollywood industrial complex. It's very fucking funny.

>>715977334
Please, we all know that Nintendo AAA operates on different rules. They still have the budget of a AA title.

>>715977528
The first Death Stranding didn't win GOTY or really many awards despite it being nominated for everything AND that being a terrible year for games. It had no competition and still lost.

>>715977248
kek why you lie shill? Don't tell me you work Sundays too. The game is 60% cutscenes, and when you're not in a cutscene it's just jrpg drag with qte.

>>715977215
Nintendo is literally the developer with the most GoTY, retard

>>715977662

Neither have the same universal acclaim, especially not Tabata's abortion FF15.

>>715980712
This is the new modus operandi the industry has fabricated.
Make a title for a niche genre that normies never touch and hype it like crazy so the cattle believes it is something special that the genre and vidya has never seen. They did the same thing for astrobut and 3d platformers. Also shill the devs as some scrappy underdogs when they're in fact industry insiders.

>>715980963
"Real critics" ranked persona 5 higher than e33 (metaphor as well)

>pleb
I have almost certainly played more turn based jrpgs than you which is why I can say a proper metroid prime in line with the first two games of the trilogy will be a better goty pick than e33

E33 will win the overall GOTY and probably Soundtrack too.
DK Bananza will win the Best Family Game.
Death Stranding 2 will win whatever artsy fartsy awards are left.

>>715974314 (OP)
If they try to give it Clair Obscur it's just going to result in the same situation that Astro Bot winning led to: People will begin to notice that the SUPERIOR NIntendo games in that genre consistently get downplayed and ignored.

Xenoblade 3 was way better than Clair Obscur, but good luck getting anyone to admit it.

>>715980315
>Meanwhile Metroid Prime 4 is...more Metroid Prime. Okay.
I'm so glad that's the case. Like, performative company war bullshit aside, it's so nice to have a game in a series just be what fans want.

>>715981117
>some scrappy underdogs when they're in fact industry insiders.
This is the part of it all that bothers me. They had plenty of backing, experience, and connections within the industry. The gsme didn't come from some nobody's garage on a shoestring budget. This isn't some miracle story, unless you count the guerilla marketing strategy. Maybe that's what really should be praised here.

I understand that games journalists need to pretend there's some kind of contest to drum up some kind of speculation but everyone fucking knows that E33's only remaining competitor is Silksong.

Yeah, sure whatever.

It's very rare for a completely brand new team to deliver a hit as its first major product, regardless of former experience. Most of what we consider "hits" are iterative and have a workflow built on a previously established team of people who are used to working together, often people with decades of leading experience as opposed to just one decade at one or two studios in assistant roles.

Brioche has chosen a bunch of randoms, threw them together and produced something that feels like it should have been the third or fourth game of an established studio. That's really fucking difficult to do.

>>715982179
>he thinks Silksong is coming out this year

>/v/ actually taking award shows seriously
What is the criteria for a game winning in any given category? Show me the document spelling it out.

>>715982179

DS2's narrative is complete dogshit. Absolute hackkino that has no substantial value.

It will be E33, which will also win Art Direction because E33 has more to draw on artistically than just recycling a previous games le-future aesthetic.

>>715982316
>What is the criteria for a game winning in any given category?
Money and popularity.

Everyone in the credits is a newbie with zero games to their name except three, and for them it was literally who mobile garbage and Breakpoint.

>>715982606

It's a sequel.

By default any sequel should be disqualified from awards.

>>715982395
motherfucker they had additional 3 teams from eastern eruope who worked for peanuts to make their game. This is nothing but an industry plant who internally shills itself and awards itself, for making NOTHING SPECIAL.

Metroid prime 4.
VTM bloodlines 2
John Carpenters Toxic Commando

>>715982654
Geoff doesn't decide the award, you're well beyond tinfoil hat if you believe that. Regardless, your scenario happened to DS1. It won more awards than anything but did not win TGA.

>>715982724
Oh but Death Stranding 2 and Donkey Kong 10 are perfectly eligible huh?

>>715982654
>Geoff will give DS2 the award
He didn't give DS1 GOTY in 2019. He can't let his butt buddy relationship with Kojima be that blatant and biased.

>>715980695
P5 took two years to sell as much as E33 did in a month.

>>715982767
You mean some Poles that do QA for hire, and the Scorn team from Kepler that are listed as helping with console ports. Neither are creative work.
Speaking of those Serbs I wonder what the fuck they've been doing since Scorn, it's been 3 years, and they haven't even announced anything.

>>715974670
Because some of us understand how voting works, and it's a lower budget game, by people who have fewer friends in the press. It's guaranteed some big awards though.

The same people foaming at the mouth over review scores will be dismissing the game awards when E33 wins.

>>715974314 (OP)
I want Bananza to win because it would be funny, but E33 seems to be the critical darling in the same way Baldur's Gate 3 was so that's probably going to win.

I don't think blue prince is even best indie or puzzle game this year. I know Shrierer is a big fanboy and the creator has it in with ad people so it might pick up some of the indie type awards.

I'm ok with either KCD2, E33 or DS2 winning (because Kojima deserves it for his career and he'll soon go senile).
Any other choice is a blatant scam.

>He tells me the team does also create its own 3D assets from scratch, but many others are freebies that have been carefully remixed and repurposed. There might be a tendency in some corners of the internet to be a little sniffy about developers repurposing free assets. “But they're there for a reason,” Nicholas points out. “It helps incredibly in terms of time management. So that's what really helped us make this game in so little time.” (Relatively speaking, of course: it’s still taken five years to get to this point, but goodness knows how long it would have taken if every single rock had to be built from scratch.)

>Tom adds that it makes sense for the team to focus most of their time on what he calls ‘hero assets’ rather than, say, stones. Things like the elegantly spiralling corals on the Flying Waters level of Clair Obscur. “That's what makes the level stand out, in the end, more than having, like, super rocks.”

>“It's really thinking of those unique shapes that will be the landmark of your level,” adds Nicholas. It’s about putting effort into the things that stand out, and spending less time on the things that “no one's going to ever look at”.

I played all 3. Bananza is decent but isn't even as good as odyssey.

DS2 on the other hand absolutely fucks and is Kojima's SBR, I cannot imagine anything topping it this year.

there's no way a game can win goty with such few fan art

It's not an "artfag" issue, it's an issue of "the studio only had 4 environmental artists and the game would have never gotten fucking finished if they had to model every piece of gravel manually".

In japanese the name becomes even more unwiedldly.

Does that even fit on the side of the PS5 box?
You see it quite a few places called 何とか33 "nantoka 33" or "whatever 33".
Search for that, and youll find plenty of videos that don't even have the normal game name in the title.

And not being on switch hurts it in Japan as well.

>>715984051
>fr*nch of all people managed to make something this innovative and artistically coherent
But the french are the best at art direction. If anything E33 is not really good looking from french standards.
Just look at Moebius, any Bande Desinnee or even shit like Arcane. Fucking work of art.

>>715985013
Obvious falseflag is obvious. Even tendies aren't this delusional.

>>715984635
A difference without a distinction. The ones with bigger art departements will work their ass off to try to get E33 pushed out of those categories.

>>715980695

I'm sorry which game is getting 10s again? Yeah shut the fuck up. DK is going to sweep this without even trying. It's leagues ahead and it's easy to notice. The super mario odyssey devs are 10x better than pretty much everyone in the industry.

>>715985417
Astro Bot won because it was the only decent game to release in 2024 lol. They nominated a fucking Poker game for GOTY

How retarded do you have to be to think
It'll be dk or ds
DK is off literal toddlers and had no challenge if it wasn't for the ip it would've gotten 8/10
DS2 is over all impressive than 1 and story is all over the place with not quiet and not snake

E33 is the obvious winners because people and journos love that game

Go to the E33 xitter page they repost a lot of fan art

Anyone who's played Death Stranding 2. Does it feel like the experience is not as special as it was the first time around? Before you've already exploited and know how the entire system of death stranding1 works? Just got done putting around 100 hours inti the director's cut for 1. Exploited every system I could.

We all know that Clair Obscur is going to win. It's always the games with the most clout that win and filler shit like Astro Bot or It Takes Two only wins if there's nothing else that year. Clair Obscur is this year's BG3 and that guarantees it winning.

Its just a small indie studio who happened to be former ubisoft employees, the game happens to look triple a, happened to come out while ubisofts reputation is in toilet, happened to have a big budget tv show planned before the game even came out

It is a lot of strange coincidences though.

i like both Bananza and E33
didn't even play Death Stranding 1 so i'm out of the loop there
between Bananza and E33 i'd probably give it to E33 but i'm biased for growing up with FF and craving a game like that. Bananza is still based though, i look forward to playing more of it despite it being an easy game. it's comfy

it's a movie not a show and how do you know the budget? nothing is planned yet, they just bought the rights, most likely IP shenanigans from publisher

dumbass confirmed. Anyway, it's certainly far more replayable than the two other contenders.

>>716005870
Then you actually go further in the game and discover all the abilities, get better at then, beat the game and then use them to get through the post-game content. The game is anything but shallow. Speedrunners will have a feast with this game, unlike Excrement 33.

Correct.
Kepler grabs adaptation rights from games they publish and passes them over to a friend of the CEO (that's the producer of the Sonic films btw) to pad his portfolio, but nothing came of them.
Except they saw E33 get a fuckton of publicity so they're now rushing to do something with their rights.

>>715974698
Astro slop didn't win anything, Sony already bought the GOTY but they couldn't have Stellar blade win because that would be too much of a political move against the industry and they had no other alternative but Astro bot

>>716006787
Stellar Blade didn't deserve to even get a nomination over the china monkey game, it's serviceable but nowhere near GOTY.
2024 was grim for games in general.

>>716006885
I'm not saying Stellar blade was GOTY worthy, neither game was, it's clear Sony bought the GOTY without having a GOTY worthy game so it should make it even more obvious

>>715974314 (OP)

E33 was so fucking run of the mill and everyone is seeing it now. DK has more innovation and mechanics and shits on E33

>>715974314 (OP)
LOL Not Donkey Dong! The Game Awards are literally owned by Sony.

>>715978596
no one is playing it, so i don't think anyone remembers that it released this year

DK would've been legit 10/10 GoTY material if the game wasn't so piss easy and if Pauline's english VA wasn't grating on the ears.

>>715974314 (OP)
E33 is the only deserving one.

>>715974837
>Best Action game
>DS2

>>715974314 (OP)
Geoff will suck kojima off for the GOTY, it's gonna happen no matter what. E33 will win best music and that's it. Screencap my post.

why are people so obsessed with goty this year?

>>715974314 (OP)
It's E33, almost no one is even talking bout DK or DS anymore

>>715974314 (OP)
anyone thinking that it's not going to be clair obscure is delusional. the only thing coming out that MIGHT challenge it is ghost of yotei

>>716017558
there were no good games last year

>>715974521
And IGN owns 70% of all of the gaming outlets that happen to be part of the judges panel for TGAs.
And Sony Entertainment Inc. just happens to be one of IGN's oldest and largest investors.

>Astrobot won GOTY last year because Sony bought the award for Concord and had to give it to something
>/v/ still takes this slopshow seriously

I havent played the french game but it will definitely win because its the "underdog"
also it doesnt look anime-ish and the story is le mature
journalists love shit like that

>>716018292
people still cant cope about this jesus christ

>>716018674
honestly i'm glad Astro Bot won over the fucking poker game and the Fatlus slop

>>715974314 (OP)
Earlier this year i thought KCD2 was going to the top contender, so that's surprising.

>>716019674
Black Myth Wukong deserved the award.

>>716019876
i honestly forgot this game existed

>>715974314 (OP)
>DS2
>GOTY
Only reason this is even in the public conciousness as a GOTY contender is because everyone know Dorito Pope is going to suck Kojima's dick

>>715977528
Dumb Aquaposter

Dorito pope will drop to his knees live on stream and personally give Kojima the most mind blowing, earth shattering, soul sucking head La Creatividad has ever had while he gives his acceptance speech.

Cap this post.

>>715979459
I would've said the same in the year TLOU 2 came out since literally everyone besides journos were shitting on it yet it still won. Safe to say only journo opinions matter for GOTY

>>715981490
Tendies are so funny man, just completely lacking in self-awareness.

>>715974958
WEG name?

>DS2
>best anything

>>716021820
Definitely the best visuals in all of gaming.

>>715974314 (OP)
>Donkey Kong Bananza

This is like when people try to pretend Wonder Woman is as popular as Superman and Batman.

>>716021875
Rdr 2 is prettier
Kcd2 has better composition
Cp2077 is also there

>DkB
Most braindead baby game of all time
Fuck that game
I hope e33 wins

>>715995052
no one cares about your faggy french game anon. remember this when it doesn't win.

>>715974314 (OP)
No one actually plays these games. People just play fortnite, wow, runescape and cod. nothing else. this is all just money laundering and fraud lol.

Highest metacritic score usually wins so it’s E33 by default. Only 2018, 2019, and 2021 were different

>>715979156
blue prince only got any attention because it looked like a masterpiece at first glance, but the further you got into the game the more you realized how much of an unfinished project it was, with barely any of the story going anywhere meaningful, there's no subversion of expectations beyond the original minor reveal that the government is a military dictatorship

>>715979038
Real fucking gamers know DK deserves it

e33 sweep easy
you are retarded if you think otherwise

These awards are about celebrating games
Because stack ranking art is fucking retarded

Astro bot was celebration of a small studio making an old school game that's simple and fun

E33 will be celebration of a new studio achieving greatness with their first game

>>716023014
>>716023153
Metroid Prime 4 is not out yet
Don't get uppity e33fags, your 93 is nothing compared to this

I have to wonder if Geoff isn't going to just throw Nintendo a bone on GOTY purely because the industry is melting down and advertising money from Sony is almost certainly going to dry up under these circumstances.

>>715981490
3 is the weakest in the series. 2 and 1 were way better.

>>715974314 (OP)
Clair Obscur definitely.

>>716023259
what was TLOU2 celebrating then?
Stop acting like this award isn't a journo circlejerk

>>715979928
>kojima sweep

>>716023442
Beloved studio delivering another mature story
According to journos of course.

>>715983413
Everyone is disappointed by Wilds
>dogshit terrible poop awful performance on every platform regardless of specs
>needs mods to not be super washed out with tons of anti-soul gas
>continues to vastly increase hunter damage and options while monsters have nothing new to keep up, most fights are snoozes
>post-launch support is worse than World or Rise despite the team having infinite money from those two games
>RE engine fuckery
>continues to QoL out the fun, you get all the parts needed to craft a set and weapon after like 3 hunts

>>715974837
>puke colored voxel shit
>best art direction

Opinion discarded

>>715974314 (OP)
>Literal monkey between two masterpieces
tendies are funny, implying they get anything other than the pity family award

>>715974314 (OP)
None of these are goonerbait (Clair Obsure's women are too flat and too covered) so I don't care.

DS2 isn't a game so that can freely be ignored. Bananza looks fun, but not the type of game that wins GOTY unless it's purchased like Snoy. E33 should sweep the GOTY awards for ever category it's nominated for.

>>715974942
>>715974942
You clearly haven't played it at all, the textures are excellent.

>>715974314 (OP)
Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Death Stranding 2
Donkey Kong Bananza
Ghost of Yotei
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
Metroid Prime 4
+ Some game that comes out of left-field.

>>715977230
If it were made by anyone else it would be considered very good, but reviewers tend to boost Nintendo games from 8 to 10 because its Nintendo.

Expedition gory, it's not even close

>>715986092
>Name that can't be easily translated to Japanese resulting in a weird mouthful
not a valid excuse when their light novels and half their anime have paragraph long titles summarizing the premise.

Played Expedition and Death Stranding 2
Death Stranding 2 is the better game
Don't give a shit about Bonkey kong

>>715985190
What cope is this? P5 didn't release off of Sony platforms until over 5 years after its initial release
E33 will not be still be selling around 2 million copies every year almost 10 years after its release that much is guaranteed

>>716028189
It also wasn't on sale outside of Japan for over 6 months after the first release but E33 zoomers weren't alive for that kek

>>715976379

Be quiet tendie ape, and go eat your recycled $80 bingtendo slop.
