Thread 724513009

Do you agree with the odds? Would you bet money on it?

>>724513009 (OP)
Head says E33, but theres a feeling in my gut that geoff really really wants to give a GOTY to Kojumbo

>>724513009 (OP)
I don't particularly care if any of those games win.
If those are the only options this has kinda been a really shit year.

is e33 lame and gay enough to sway game "journos?"

>>724513009 (OP)
Hollow knight was never going to win since it's an indie game.

I didn't play any games released this year

>>724513320
kek, me neither

>>724513009 (OP)
Holy shit this industry sucks

>>724513320
>>724513356
ew, poor people

>>724513009 (OP)
Not your personal oddsmaker. But is that really the contender list? This was truly a ass year.

>>724513217
well 2025 is playing on hardmode after the rollercoaster of 2024

>>724513217
so was last year
and the year before that

>>724513434
I just stopped caring about the industry or taking the hobby seriously, in all honestly.

Not a single one of those games should even be nominated for GOTY let alone win
The absolute state of the industry if they hand an award like that to derivative UE5 sloppa made by amateurs

>>724513009 (OP)
Can I bet on E33 to not win?

>>724513583
If you've given up on gaming but still hang out on the video games board of 4chan you have an internet addiction. Genuinely you need to take time off of this weird social media stand in.

>>724513009 (OP)
>the newest game I played this year is 5 years old
I'm behind the times...

>>724513678
Of course you can.

Imagine looking at something fun like games or sports and thinking how do I make money off of this. I fucking hate gamblers. I had to block everything related to Counter Strike on social media even though I like CS because it will just lead to a constant algorithm of box opening videos and people showing off garbage skins instead of cool clips. It's all so fake and gay.

E33 is the darling and nothing else has really been praised close to as much.

>>724513279
>Hollow knight was never going to win since it's an indie game.
Baldur's Gate 3 won and it's an indie game.

it's 100% going to be E33

it's like tailor made for the dorito awards, I don't see how anyone can think silksong has any chance

>>724515071
Gambling makes things 30% more fun.
Watching a fight I bet money on makes me involved and makes it more fun.

I bet you only play PVE games you loser. You hate risk and you are a sore loser.

>>724513517
Tv says this about the oscars
Mu probably says this about the grammies
Every board says this about everything
There is only optimism on fit, x, biz and ptg

>>724515384
>Tv says this about the oscars
>Mu probably says this about the grammies
And they're right, we've been in a steady cultural decline for like 30 straight years

>>724515053
thank you sir

>>724513279
They didn't pay Geoff Keighley 5 mil to showcase their game on SGF, instead they got free marketing from the Deadpool VR game.

>>724513009 (OP)
they will give it to death stranding 2 because le kojimeme is a sony national hero

>>724513009 (OP)
>E33 the favorite
Yeah, money was my first thought, too.

>>724515542
I fail to see what this has to do with anything

>>724515384
/mu/ ironically cares more about the grammies now than it used to. The userbase used to be hipsters and cool people that didn't care about mainstream music. Now half the board are unironic pop slop fans, which is what the grammies are about.

Alright I'll believe you. I put money on E33.
(Haven't played it and probably never will)

>>724515665
Geoff can't attribute his name or show to the games success.

>>724515595
>they will give it to death stranding 2 because le kojimeme is a sony national hero
Bet on it, you'll make a lot of money.

>>724513009 (OP)
E33 is the only choice in that image.

Abiotic Factor mogs all 4 tho.

There are a lot of other choices but no one believes they'll win lol.

meds both of you faggots

>>724513009 (OP)
Why the fuck is Hades 2 there?

>>724516753
The first one was nominated when it got out.

>>724513009 (OP)
Goty: E33
Best Indie: Silksong
Best Narrative: Split Fiction
Best Soundtrack: Ghost of Yotei
Beat Performance: Jennifer English
Best Art Direction : Silent Hill F

Damn, female protagonist clean sweep.
Are male characters obsolete?

Was 2025 a horrible year for gaming? What were the big releases outside of Clair Obscur, the Switch 2, Super Mario Kart World and that Bananazana game?

>>724515193
ok retard

>>724517972
It's been a great year, you're just old and depressed.

>>724517972
>tendie doesn't care about anything outside of his shitty Fisher Price toy
Well yeah if you're a lobotomized Nintendo cultist you aren't going to notice all the great games that came out this year.

>>724518357
I accept your concession ;-)

>>724517972
Fantasy Life I
Expedition 33
Abiotic Factor
Necesse
First Berzerker Khazan
All good to great games this year and plenty to play.

Then you have other "big" releases like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Borderlands 4 but both don't interest me for one reason or another. Anyone who says "GAMING IS DEAD" only plays games advertised to them in between their sports ball games on Television.

>>724518461
ok retard

>>724517972
Who gives a fuck about "big releases" you eternally online weirdo.
Tons of good games came out in 2025, both small indie games and bigger ones. It was a very fun year.

You just don't like video games anymore.

>>724518470
>Anyone who says "GAMING IS DEAD" only plays games advertised to them in between their sports ball games on Television.
Just say republicans and save yourself some time

>>724517841

retard

Also E33 is winning also those awards except for best indie

>>724515384
>optimism on biz
That's because without it, they would kill themselves over their massive losses.

>>724518470
Everything you listed is trash, retard.

>>724517972
Hell is Us has been the most I've enjoyed a game in like 5 years.

>>724518694
Yeah you don't like video games anymore.
Time for you to find a new hobby, this isn't for you anymore.

>>724513009 (OP)
personally I didn't care for E33 that much and dropped it near the end because the story was lame and I didn't give a shit about the characters at all
but I know it will win, normies will vote for it en masse, feels very strongly like award-bait in some aspects
also is it just me or does some of the dialogue between characters feel like some marvel-tier quips?

>>724518694
I mean I heard Arc Raiders is good if you like that awful genre? Same goes for Hades 2. Both terrible genres played by faggots but hey they're supposedly quality.

>>724518694
You don't play games bro smdh... Play Silksong it's a platformer like they made in the old days. E33 is like a golden era JRPG.

The one vote I regret in my life was voting to legalize sports/mobile phone gambling. This shit ruins lives. It's like if a heroin junkie could get a hit by just typing on a phone.

>>724513009 (OP)
In order of likelihood I'd say
1. E33
2. DS2
3. SS
Hades 2 just doesn't feel like a GotY winning kind of game for TGAs.

>>724519020
Yeah those that are genetically predisposed to gambling addiction will get one shotted.
Thankfully it's mostly the chinks.

Buy high sell low

>>724513714
I dunno what else to do. I've been coming here forever.

>>724519020
Pretty much everyone gambles in the US so it's impossible to regulate anymore. Little kids are involved in video game gambling markets, it has too much cultural sway

>>724518643
you lost
lol

>>724518796
based bridget poster
exactly my thoughts as well

>>724513009 (OP)
where is Mario Kart or Donkey Kong?

>>724519020
Gotta beat it out of people early.

>>724513009 (OP)
>Do you agree with the odds?
No, because Hades II and Walking Simulator part II have exactly 0.00% fucking chance

>>724513714
>given up on gaming
anon, I never said anything of the sort.
I still play vidya, just not nearly as much and I don't pay attention to new releases at all.

Congrats on figuring out Moore's Law is directly proportional to media accessibility and total media preservation. But yes, things ARE in a significantly shittier state than 20 years ago

>>724513279
It's also a deeply flawed, unfun game.

>>724513009 (OP)
E33 was the greatest JRPG ever made so probably that game. Silksong will likely win best indie, Hades II is largely derivative.

>>724519389
It was supposed to be something you had to go to the one casino or horse track in your state to do, or plan a trip to Vegas. Not like this.

>>724520107
I mean SIlksong is also pretty derivative but it's a hell of a lot better a game than Hades 2 so it doesn't really matter as much.

>>724513009 (OP)
Peak, Megabonk, Ball X Pit, and Duckov mogged all those trash
