Stop spamming this shit retard. It won't win.

Fuck off.

Small team of 30 people + 400 paid shills

>>724654897 (OP)
I liked E33, but I don't want it to win simply because it's fans are fucking annoying, call me a spiteful cunt all you want.

>>724655883
spiteful cunt

>>724654897 (OP)
I told you. Normie appeal plus cinematic storytelling is what wins.

>>724655536
screencapping this

>>724655536
I agree that this retard should kill themselves for reposting the same gambling dogshit 7 times in just 1 day.
But let's be real, e33 is going to sweep, is the most TGA-coded game ever, even if this year we got Silksong (the only masterpiece of 2025)

>>724655536
insane cope

I recently had a guy in person tell me that he loved the writing in e33. I almost puked

>>724654897 (OP)
it's gonna be death stranding 2

>>724655258
normies have long forgotten your mobile woke slop, anon

>>724656132
cool story autist

is there a wager on there for whether the american empire will collapse in the next 5 years and if so how many government officials are betting yes on it

E33 will sweep n win GOTY.
Would've last year as well.
But Sony paid for Conco- Astrobot to win.

>>724657731
Not a chance last year, sorry

>>724654897 (OP)
It's either Ex33 or KCD2 for me.
You gotta be a complete fucking moron to think either GoY or Hollow Knight are GOTY worthy

caring about the fucking game awards is probably the brownest shit this board still does every year

>>724655974
>good game appeals to people

whoa

>>724657841

>>724657731

Last year it would have cleaned house even more. 2024 was the worst year in gaming since like 2013.

>>724658041
>the ones voting for the awards
Yes, retard

>>724654897 (OP)
The infestation of normies has always been a problem but this is just abhorrent. Actually repulsive.

>>724658043
last year we had Rise of the Ronin, Dragons Dogma 2, SMTV Vengeance, Metaphor Re Fantazio, Shadow of the Erdtree and probably more which I am forgetting.
it was a great year for vidya
this year my goty are NG4 and Dynasty Warriors Origins.

what the hell happened, this shit was hyped like no tomorrow

>>724658136
...who do you think this faggy award show was for in the first place, anon?

>>724654897 (OP)
I played Expedition 33 and enjoyed it, but this massively confirms my priors about games media. Cutscenes > everything. It's the same reason BG3 blew up but there was precisely zero spillover into other CRPGs. GOTY is basically a "cutscene movie of the year" award.

>>724658105
is what why metaphor lost?

retard

>>724658621
lmao true

>>724658273
>all that forgotten garbage
>it was a great year for vidya

>>724658043
even SE knows E33 shits on Reflop

>>724658994
nomura agrees it's GOTY

>>724658853
do you need to be reminded that bg3 and tlou2 won this shitty normie award? /v truly is filled with smooth brained golem nigger hylics huh?

>>724658994
>>724659091
based

>>724659216
BG3 is a great game with lots of replayability, and TLOU2 is too outside of the story and characters. TLOU2 is a technically impressive game. Even Kojima nutted to it. /v/ of course hates them because they're popular and no nintendo games.

>>724659216
tsushima was outside of visuals
i hate Neil but I'm glad tl2 won

>>724659216
TLOU2 is actually a really impressive piece of engineering. Shit like TW3 winning was more egregious.

>>724655375
heh

>>724654897 (OP)
you guys know damn well Death Stranding 2 is gonna win

>>724659576
I know that, but these are normies

>>724658536
Why did Elden Ring win then?

this game is art
its no wonder the uncultured swine here can't appreciate it

https://youtu.be/GW2n9TeOfxU?si=YsWSZgYXLrgjXgWW

>>724659576
you mean the game that did worse that it's former?

>>724654897 (OP)
I was at home being disappointed about another underwhelming year in video games where nothing amazes me and every hype release does nothing for me.
Maybe I just hate video games? I don't know.

the white man will MARCH ON and defeat the gay tranny journos desperately trying to promote Hades 2 over the literal greatest game ever made. we WILL win GOTY and these fucking journos won't be able to stop us.

>>724655536
>>724658296
is this true? thank fuck if it is

>>724654897 (OP)
what stops the organizers from making bets on the lowest raters and rigging the event?

>>724659838
well they're the ones that cast the votes so

>>724655536
I agree it won't win.
The whole game is the antithesis of everything the big money is the gaming industry are against. If it wins their entire narrative goes down the drain, it would mean billions lost in the long run.
And if it wins, the studio will be jewed beyond recognition.
The only logical winner this year is Death Stranding 2.
E33 is too good of a game to be in the faggot game awards shows of today anyway.
>>724657841
now post the player numbers

>>724659734
>this game is art
Every game is art. Yes, even gachashit and unity asset flips from the indie landfill

I called it being GOTY when it released. It put a twist on turn-based combat and had a decent story. It's going to win:
GOTY
Music
RPG
Maybe even more it's basically going to do what BG3 did in 2023.
>>724659704
Souls games and Fromsoft are very popular.

>>724660050
>If it wins their entire narrative goes down the drain, it would mean billions lost in the long run.
The industry doesn't give a single flying fuck about the award itself. The show is just an ad show with award breaks, not the other way around.

>>724659987
Hades 2 actually went up as more reviews came in. it's now squarely a 95 avg on metacritic while parryshart 33 is a 92 avg. scored by the literal jury members of the game awards too btw, and those guys gave last year's GOTY to the game that was SLIGHTLY higher rated than metaphor, aka the "artsy serious grown up mature game for people who think oh so deeply about politics" pick (without any icky dating sim shit that journos hate so much about Japanese games), in an election year no less.

>>724660483
every manlet mutt in the thread may now proceed to saying Sony bought the award last year (but somehow they won't buy it this year too, this is all very smart)

>>724659325
>>724659381
>e33 faggots praising tlou2 the most jewish “game” ever
yea, not surprised.

>>724654897 (OP)
i like all those other games but cmon there must be something better to put in that category

>goty
lmfao really now

>>724654897 (OP)
Playing better games instead of normalnigger slop.

>>724660858
such as?

>>724660176
But you said only cinematicslop wins GOTY.

>>724660483
The most popular thread on the Steam forums is shitting on the story. It's so bad they are patching the game to try and fix it
Hades 2 is a fun game, but it can't win GOTY

>>724659735
As if that's the point of Game Awards. Kojima is buddies with Geoff so it's obvious the goty wiill go to his game.

>>724660973
Shadow Tower and finishing up King's Field.

>>724654897 (OP)
Turn based wins again. Sad, honestly. Ninja Gaiden 4 flopping was the icing on the cake

>>724659704
Media hype and GRRM

>>724655258
problem with Hades 2 was releasing in Early Access one year before the actual release. It kills all the impact

>>724659704
>Why did Elden Ring win then?
Fromsoft is the exception that proves the rule. Games media basically got bullied into appreciating Fromsoft after they missed the boat on the original Dark Souls zeitgeist. They've basically become the designated challenge games that everyone touts to reassure others of their gamer cred. You'll almost never see the same charity extended to anyone else.

I literally dont care who wins bought meme awards
I had a tiny bit inkling but afetr the Wukong and Astrobought incidents it is like
LOL
said Scoprion calmly
LMAO even!

>>724661457
Problem with your post is that you genuinely believe "impact" is a factor with the critics voting.

>>724661160
Wait, did you say a popular thread on Steam? Nevermind, that's all that matters. It'd be lucky to even get nominated.

>>724655258
Maybe the reason no one's talking about hades 2 is that it's shit and the thought it could actually win goty never even crossed anyone's mind. If E33CHADS were actually threatened by it, you'd see tons of posts shitting on it.

>>724655883
As opposed to what? Silksong goomers?

It's a good game and the story is pretty good (for vidya)
It should win

>>724655575
If paying shills was so cheap that a small AA studio can afford it, why don't massive AAA publishers do that for their games?

>>724662506
They do. Regularly.

>>724662374
This

Its why silksong is getting some heat now because its realistically the only game that could possibly stand a chance to it no matter how small that chance might be

>>724661171
Agreed. They're such good buddies that DS2 will win goty just like DS1 did.

>>724657841
Sorry but metaphor is childish anime tropes. It's fine if you get enjoyment out of it but it's not serious art.

>>724661032
>But you said
Consider that I'm not that anon? God, you newfags and thirdies are fucking retarded, I swear man. I have more engaging conversation on xitter than this site but I'm stuck here forever, oh well.

>>724662613
To the point there's weekly threads that hit the bump limit full of discussion 6+ months after the game released? I don't think so. Ghost of yotei released like a month ago and no one's talking about it. Because it's shit.

>>724663378
>To the point there's weekly threads that hit the bump limit full of discussion 6+ months after the game released?
Yes.

>>724663691
Show me 3 (three) 200+ post threads discussing ghost of yotei. Should be trivial since it's only a month old compared to E33 which is over 6 months old now.

>>724654897 (OP)
I voted for Death Stranding 2

Imagine writing characters that aren't shallow anime tropes, then people have things to talk about instead of just posting pictures of sexy/cute sluts in the game like in every jrpg.

>no kdc

hahhhhh take that faggot varva, suck a mali dick

>Imagine thinking threads on /v/ as criteria for GOTY
E33 cultists are delusional. The FF7 Rebirth cultists of 2025.

>>724664209
lol

>>724664432
And what's your point? It didn't win shit.

>>724664209
>>724664432
>>724664553
No one who isn't retarded values critics over the public.

>>724664724
Looks like the E33 fandom is just a bunch of retards then because they don't/won't stop talking about the Geoff Awards.

>>724664553
my point is your platformer slop isn't gonna win shit either because it has zero cultural impact and everyone has moved on to another FOTM "GOTY" already

>>724664823
>zero cultural impact and everyone has moved on to another FOTM "GOTY" already
And who the fuck cares about cultural impact except E33 spergs and FF7 cultists like you? People forgot about Astrobot and the game won almost every GOTY award. Your opinion is irrelevant, only reviews matter.

>>724664974
>Solid green review bar

Uh-oh~

>>724664819
But E33 is the highest rated score by players on metacritic.

>>724664974
>And who the fuck cares about cultural impact
you will, while desperately review bombing it, when it inevitably wins GOTY. best game of the decade for sure, top 5 of all time. cope, rakshit

>>724665229
They're scared...

>>724665212
>Highest rated score followed by fuckin' Digimon

Yes, that's why the "Players' Choice Award" exists. So overhyped shit like Wu Kong can win a pity trophy.
Other than that, the public has zero impact on GOTY choices.

>>724665590
No digimon is #10 and it will drop more.

Whenever I think i fucked up in life I look at bossmanjack and i dont feel as bad.

>>724654897 (OP)
The fact that Reddit Knight 2 is being considered makes this award a joke.

Silksong bros (and hades bros too)...
I think E33 is going to sweep
2 games that are far better that a dogshit reddit tier cinematic-slop game are going to lose their chance to win awards for ost, visuals, GOTY etc. What a disgusting show.

>>724667258
>visuals
both look exactly like their predecessors

>>724661160
Damn if only the popular steam thread posters weren't the voters, Hades could win oh wait that's right they aren't :)

>>724661457
>muh impact
>muh discourse
>muh threads
if any of this actually mattered more than the scores, Metaphor woulda won last year. also side note, but you're reaching harder than a political ad bringing up "steam threads are negative about muh story ending".

>>724668052
>metaphor
are you retarded? it was a massive flop and nobody cared

>>724664072
exactly. Expedition 33 puts the likes of Tolstoy to shame. Browns just can't understand because they aren't like us. I've had no fewer than 35 threads going back and forth about the meaning of the ending. It's exactly like when Thanos snapped half of the universe and everyone was debating whether it was right or wrong. Actual art the likes of which gaming basically never gets. Should win GOTY easily.

>>724655536
This, imagine caring about jannymarket.

>>724664724
>muh public
ugly mongrels who have their sense of self tied up in a game award show are lower than critics

>>724665229
You don't count as white :) you deserve your mental illnesses and all the debilitating crippling effects they've had on your stunted life :) your blood pressure is going to skyrocket in anticipation of E33 getting awarded by a bunch of literal pro-transsexual journalists, because that's the greatest vicarious achievement you can imagine yourself experiencing :) that's the biggest peak of your life that you can imagine reaching :)

>>724667863
Yeah they look fantastic just like their originals, unlike that soulless unreal engine pajeet-made french turdfest

>>724668187
You really do deserve to be the khhv sperg that you are

>>724668454
you were just boasting about tranny journos loving the nigger faggots in Hades 2. India truly didn't send their best today

>>724668187
>and nobody cared
Metaphor was by far the most "discourse" dominating game of last year just like expedition 33 has been for 2025 and it wasn't even close, you'd know this if you weren't some grummz-tier tourist. Just say you want expedition 33 to win or you're going to feel suicidal because the wokies are raping you and you need a win in order to hang on. Why pretend to know stuff you don't?

>muh sales
oh okay so silksong nukes your frogslop, good to know

I have yet to see e33 sloppers post gameplay.

>>724668692
Your bloodline is dead :) expedition 33 could sweep every award show on earth and get all the past GOTYs in a retroactive sweep, and you'd still be an unloved manlet :)

>>724668846
concession accepted. better luck with that outsourcing deal next time, rajshit

>>724668760
The gameplay is fun but it just isn't anything groundbreaking nor the main focus. There simply isn't much to discuss about it.

>>724669112
So the gameplay is bad and uninteresting to look at. Otherwise you'd post it and people would enjoy it.
Like with Silksong and Bananza.

>>724668226
I definitely do not think it's comparable to good litterature, but it's way better than any other game I've played.

>>724654897 (OP)
I have 399 shares of Silksong bought at 11 cents. I'm holding until the end.

>>724659091
>gustave & maelle in nomura style
it is officially FF17

>>724664209
>Hades II: Hades but a woman
They got +2 goodboy points for that.

>Silksong: It's Hollow Knight but harder
I hear a lot more people getting frustrated while playing Silksong than while playing Hollow Knight, and not in the Souls-like "I fucked up" way but the "this is unfair" way.

The only way E33 loses is if all those articles gaming "journalists" were writing earlier this year about how E33 is bad for the industry because it shows smaller teams can do great things/actually required hundreds of people working on the middleware and asset store content get to decide the vote.

>>724669064
Don't forget your hairline isn't getting any better either manlet :)

These are the non-gamer fags who gave GOTY to the last of us part 2. of course they're going to give it to a piece of shit braindead QTEfest with a dogshit entry-level airport-novel story like expedition 33.

>>724670034
Now we just need the amano art of the paintress and curator with the FF17 logo

>>724654897 (OP)
astroturfed tranny game i fear

death stranding 2 clears i fear

I haven't enjoyed a goty game in literally 14 years does that make me a miserable fuck or are games just as shit as movies and tv these days.

>>724670458
you are a very speshul boy

>>724670767
That was true for me until expedition 33.

>>724669631
Nope. It's fun. If the story was the only good part I wouldn't have kept playing 60+ hours after I finished it. There's just not a lot to discuss or post webms about. It's a pretty standard turn based game but with parries to avoid damage.

>>724671194
nah bro e33 is a faggot game made by faggots for faggots. the characters, dialogue and story are truly unbearable unless you are a massive faggot yourself.

>>724654897 (OP)
At this point you have to be severely mentally deranged to think E33 will not be GOTY, and i'm not talking about the real best game of the year, just this award event specifically.
This game is simply what if Nier Automata but it would appeal to normalfags and journos instead of weebs, it's both a complete UFO in the current industry and a game so riskless everyone have the same consensus about it.
Still far better winner/contender than actual meme games for redditors like It takes Two or AstroBoy.

>>724672927
the only good game to ever win this shit normie award was Elden Ring and Sekiro.

>>724673054

Where is Elden Ring Nightreign?

>>724675764
Would win if the game in question have the highest score by far and that's Hades 2 this year.

>>724676181
Hades 2 is already forgotten.

>>724676239
No one cares about your cultural impact, this doesn't win awards. Journos scores win awards and your favorite frog game is 2nd place. Cry me a river.

>>724671194
Your hours say absolutely nothing about the quality of the gameplay.

do you think deadlock will win goty 2028?

I don't care what trannoid journalists say. Silksong is my GOTY.

indians on /v/ chatting seriously about video game awards

>>724654897 (OP)
I don't think the game is good at all. It has some good music and art, that's all.
I think that people pretend to like it because the game awards told them it was good and they just follow the herd.

>>724676849
he's an actual indian who's upset because no brown hands got to work on e33, and it shows

>>724676974
a lot of normies infected the gaming sphere around 2022 and now for some reason they think their opinions are valid

>>724676849
>Early access games can't win GotY because... they just can't!

Well, as Horizon proved, games with redhead leads can win GOTY, so E33's out
See? This is how retarded your logic sounds.

POST PLAYTIME FAGGOT

>>724676614
Its 60 hours. Not everything need to have 7 playthroughs, 200+ hours, and live service. I felt that the time I spent playing it was worth the money

>>724654897 (OP)
Gooning in bed to hentai after taking a big bong rip, completely unaware of anything except the waves of pleasure making my body shiver with every stroke.

>>724679862
Your feelings also say nothing about the quality of the gameplay.
You can't make turn-based slog with QTE interesting, the end.

>>724675764
Isn't expedition 33 an indie game? I certainly never heard of Sandfall.

>>724677118
That makes the most sense when it comes to the never ending hatred of this game.

>>724660050
I like Kojima he just does whatever he wants. The Jews can't touch him because he out Jews them all.

>>724680095
Ok what would you like to know about your highly subjective question? Your post is just flat out retarded, you think youve got an ace up your sleeve with that one lol

The game play is fun. There, thats an answer with the same quality as your question

>>724681131
NTA but why are you getting worked up

>>724655258
Hades 2 was a considerable disappointment due to about every weapon being worse and the ending being utter shit.

>>724681281
Im tired of seeing the same bullshit post every single day. Idk if they are trolling or think it makes them less "mainstream" to hate on a game just because it's popular.

>>724682552
how is questioning gameplay in a fucking video GAME bullshit?

get better taste in games maybe?

>>724683240
>questioning
The anon basically said "I don't like this style of gameplay, you cannot make it good, I hate this type of gameplay". That isn't questioning, that's dismissal.

I should've bet everything I own on E33 winning goty after playing the first hour of it 1 hour after launch. I already knew it was going to win and the payoff would've been fat

>>724657841
>using some backwater rating site because all the popular ones don't show metaphor ahead

lmao

>>724681406
I could go into great detail how every weapon and their aspect shit all over the original weapons, but that would require you to have actually played them and be knowledgeable.

Hades 2 is a good game but its not nearly as big as you think. Its competing with Silksong for indie of the year, but not GOTY.

>>724654897 (OP)
Ghost of Yotei already won the moral victory because chuds tried to sink it but the right side of history ended up winning again.
DK Bananza would also be a strong contender in a fair competition but Nintendo is always snubbed because they don't pay to shill their products like the other studios.
