Thread 725258391

Remember what happened with Elden Ring? How cancerous the soulslike industry is? The future of gaming itself is at stake. It is this year that will decide what the next five years will look like. If we allow Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2 or Monster Hunter Wilds to win GOTY, IT IS "OVER".

Only Hollow Knight Silksong deserves the GOTY.

>silkslop faggot thinks that GOTY awards actually mean anything
yeah, that tracks

>>725258391 (OP)
I usually vote whichever game has the cutest, best looking characters. E33 is a clear winner this year. Also that silksong game looks like a silly toddler game, does Goty have best kids game award >?

>>725258391 (OP)
But E33 is actually good, you fucking double faggot. Shit, you're so gay that you're back to being straight.

>>725258747
>does Goty have best kids game award >?
Yes, it's called "Game of the Year" as dictated by The Game Awards. (when they gave Kiddie Bot the win last year)

Actual kusoge.

E33 needs to win to send the message to dying publishers that the medium budget AA Japanese model doesn't just work, it works better than the $400 million flopbuster model where no amount of sales will ever break even.

>>725258646
After Elden Ring was tossed GOTY in 2022 (shouldn't be considered a victory when the other challenging nominee was GOW Ragnarok) nearly all video game devs started manufacturing soulslike slop games.

This needs to end. If Exp 33 gets GOTY, the next five years will be again flooded with soulslike games. I had enough of soul cancer. We need new exciting game genres.

i'm sorry that you're too slow to play videogames

>>725258391 (OP)
Seethe, it's going to be E33 and that's a good thing.

anyone who either 1. thinks E33 isn't going to win, or 2. wants anything other than E33 to win
post arm immediately. thank you for your cooperation.

>>725259506
Such a dogshit game.
>>725259213
Team Cherry is not even AA, you moron. Your argument applies more to Silksong.

>>725258391 (OP)
Nothing good even came out this year.
Even NG4 is better than Shitsong and that's the worst ninja gaiden game ever made.

>>725259647
>Such a dogshit game.
post playtime or kill yourself tranny. Silksong is good but it has quite literally 0% (zero) chance of winning over E33.

>>725259647
No one needs a reminder that indies can be successful. The message to publishers needs to focus on a return to AA.

>If we allow
user vote only counts for around 5% of the vote, used as a tiebreaker if journos and industry people are tied up. you have no real power here. you mean nothing, you decide nothing. but, by the same logic, the game awards mean nothing. it does not matter what the results of the TGAs are. the game show is a glorified commercial and a bunch of industry friends patting themselves on the back. it does not matter and you should not care about it.

>>725258391 (OP)
Expedition 33 wasn't that bad

i dread the industry imitating death stranding slop

>>725258391 (OP)
I hope E33 wins so anti-turn based neanderthals get eternally BTFO.

>>725259681
Give me one good reason as to why I should play Expedition 33 when I can just play Persona 5 Royal (a game that is better than the latter in every single element)
>le anime
I'd rather play a gacha game than touch a soulslike
>post playtime
I didn't even complete my first playthrough. I got bored when the first protagonist (i forgot his name) died. I just watched the story ending later, the combat was dogshit and the movement felt clunky. The UE5 assets were synthetic, ffs how can this game even qualify for GOTY?

>>725258391 (OP)
Yeah I think we have enough 2D indie slop thanks

>>725259857
you didn't even play it for 5 minutes you read the cuckbabble typed up by other brown retards and you parrot it like a fucking retard. you lost. E33Whites will be feasting on your seethe for many years to come.

You fools don't understand what a turn based game is. Expedition 33 is not a turn based because it has the dodging/parrying mechanic. That makes it a soulslike and I am tired of people saying otherwise. It is an average game, however I can sympathize with the dickriders. Trust me when I say we need Silksong and Team Cherry as a dev company to imitate.

you're brown.

>it does not matter and you should not care about it.
The only thing I care about is the fact that the industry's games for years to come will mimic the winner of this year. Same as it ever was. Dark Souls made stamina management rollslop trendy. I do not want Death Stranding clones for the next several years. Anything can win except that.

>The only thing I care about is the fact that the industry's games for years to come will mimic the winner of this year.
why is this year the year that will supposedly decide the next multiple years of game design? hint: it isn't and when it comes time to decide what to fund next, publishers follow sales more than accolades from industry people who are patting their friends on the back.
>I do not want Death Stranding clones for the next several years.
don't worry, there won't. even if it wins GOTY. the closest thing to a "death strandinglike" there is something like cairn.

>>725260917
>don't worry, there won't. even if it wins GOTY
I really hope you're right.

>>725261021
>>725261021
i know i am right. it just isn't something most devs can commit to. there may be a clone or two, but it isn't something that will become a widespread phenomenon like how the souls formula infected pretty much every third person melee action game.

>>725258391 (OP)
>ER won GOTY and that led to massive proliferation of soulslikes therefore I want Silksong to win so we can have a proliferation of 2d platformers/metroidvanias
Half the indie releases on.steam are already that. Have been for many many years, what the actual fuck is this opinion? Kill yourself, genuinely.

>>725258391 (OP)
Normige E-celeb garbage.

Zoomtard bitch about reddit and then they watch the most reddit award show from them all.

Useless fucking niggers

>>725258391 (OP)
It's 2025, your gay indie platformer is not getting GOTY. And thank god for that. Platformers need to stay in the pre-2000s where they belong.

>>725258391 (OP)
If you really think Silksong is going to win, you can get 24x odds on Polymarket right now.
$100 to $2400

>>725258807
>chinese shill shilling chinese game
Pottery.

>no one tried to copy Souls for the last decade, it's Elden Ring that started it
Zoomers are so fucking funny

>>725258807
what did E33 inspire aside frrom "we can make JRPGs too!"
it's creative as making another souls like game

>>725258391 (OP)
I would prefer KCD2 to win but there's no way it will with E33 and Silksong which I liked a lot as well.

>>725259857
>soulslike
what
It's a turn based rpg with qte
