This

Has any recent year been as much of a nothingburger for gaming as 2025?

>>717919385 (OP)
Not Donkey Kong Bananza that's for sure!
>crowd erupts in a thunderous laughter
No no but seriously though, game of the year goes to Expedition THERDAY THRAY!

100% and everyone alrdeady knows it, including geoff and Kojima

>>717919613
This and death stranding 2 are the only 2 games i can even name that came out this year

>>717919385 (OP)
idk enough about what's coming out for the rest of the year but right now either E33 or DS2 would obviously win. If it was up to me I'd also nominate Lies of P Overture since according to last year's awards, DLC counts, but no way is that happening.

>>717919613
When Alicia theme starts right before they announced it i am gonna sob like a fucking faggot,i know it

>>717923083
Erdtree wasn't even that good, I don't know what crack they were smoking

>>717922934
>>717923083
Geoff HAS to give Hackjima something, hes getting paid for it, but what?
Definitely not GOTY and Claire Obscure also mogs DS2 in terms of story and music.
Is there an award for graphics?

>>717919385 (OP)
my hasidic imam Al Gore, thank you everybody

>>717923174
I agree. I liked Overture a lot though.

>>717923131
Same, it’s so sad the slop people eat up

>>717923257
DS2 isn't even as good as DS1, it's just more ZANY and referential. When people talk about DS1 they talk about how cool it was rebuilding america and the lou mission, when people talk about ds2 they talk about the repeated reuse of BBs theme because they couldn't figure out any new tracks, and LE PIZZA MAN!?!?!? give me a fucking break

>>717919385 (OP)
>>717919613
Expedition 33 is really good, deserves it, and has the best chance, but now that it's overhyped and normies and redditors like it, I don't want it to win. Like even Bananza winning wouldn't be as bad

>>717923423
I need to play Overture, I love Lies of P but I'm financially strapped so I'm waiting for a decent sale

I don't feel like I've played enough games this year to judge, but Expedition 33 better win best soundtrack.

Its so fucking simple, why don't more games repeat the main themes leitmotif, its such a kino cheatcode.

We did it Reddit

I'm only here to defend 7R from criticism if it comes up. Maybe undermine E33 a little bit, not too much, but just take the shine off it slightly.

>Nobody. Do better.

>>717919613
It's the vidya equivalent of Oscarbait.
>Narrative focused with a highly pretentious artsy fartsy story
>"Unique" gameplay (even though it's just Paper Mario with more button presses)
>Made by small team which leads to a feel-good story about the scrappy underdog beating those dastardly AAA companies

>>717919613
Ubisoft and Square Enix will seethe in unison. Ubisoft, for having to employ thousands of people to make $80 games that are sheer slop, and Square Enix, for consistently failing to make a good, engaging turn-based RPG.

>show made to show off trailers
>people care about the awards
lmao

>>717924364
Until Gabe sends out a steam notification to watch the gay awards I will never again delude myself into thinking it's worth my time

>>717924459
didn't ask, lol

All the normies I know don’t take these shows seriously anymore because the Mario Movie wasn’t given best film adaption in 2023.

Yes you do.

Are the bosses shitty like Simon and Lactacia? I hate that hyper anime aoe magic shit.

Steals GOTY award at the last second

>>717919385 (OP)
This shit is a joke. They always chose the worst fucking games, it's either rigged or Geoff is too cowardly to make any based choices

>>717926262
It's neither, controversial choices get news headlines. I'd respect it if it was rigged because he was paid off by the game publishers, but the truth is sadder than that.

>>717923545
E33 soundtrack stands out because it's very European. But it sounds really generic if you ever listened to the genres that influenced it like New Age and Symphonic Rock.

>>717923980
That purely depends on whether the game does come out in time and is as good as the original.

>literally a soulless NPC.

Does anybody actually put stock in this shit? Like ooh boy I wasn't going to buy E33 but now that it's won a fake award I'm going to pony up!

>>717926262
Name specific examples of games that should've won (other than Bloodborne).

>>717919385 (OP)
Silent Hill f

>>717929087
Its free marketing. Inquisition ended up selling like 12 million copies.

>>717929087
Companies will care because it puts their game into the spotlight and they can then market it as having won a bunch of awards.
/v/ only cares because it enables further shitposting between games.

>>717919385 (OP)
Donkey Kong Bananza.

>>717919613
watch America cuck France with Metroid Prime 4 at the last minute

>>717919613
current gen must be really fucking shit if a turnbased game with some parry mechanics is a top GOTY contender
>it's about the story bro
current gen must be really fucking shit if a storydriven game in an interactive medium is a top GOTY contender
are you seriously surprised that videogames are as shit as they are right now?!

>>717919613
This. It raised the standards of gaming as a whole while showing you don't need a lot of resources or knowledge to create AAAA level game
>Unreal Engine 5
>FAB store assets
>Metahumans

Having Marvel voice actor help a lot, put your money where it matters!

>>717928853
If you say so, but I still say it's the best game soundtrack we've had this year.

>>717919613
I'm not saying it's a masterpiece, but what else even released this year?
It's mostly the usual trash or Nintendo trash.

>>717919385 (OP)
Hollow Knight: Silksong!

>>717929087
Studios that win awards from others in the industry are more likely to receive more funding going forward, so these events are literally a preview into what direction gaming will go in the near future.

>It raised the standards of gaming as a whole

>>717919385 (OP)
Oh-nye-rism!

>>717929797
I find DS2 ost more unique but it's also similar to the first game.

I would've said Kingdom Come 2 but Vavra is a bitch with his gay nigger medieval sex simulator so I hope it barely gets mentioned compared to Expedition 33 and Death Stranding

>>717930343
Very unlikely, but I want to see this happen just to see /v/ shit itself with the fury of a thousand valkyries.
