>Does it really come down to, if you're a depresso this game is GOTY?
No. You don't understand game journalists. Even apparently "good" journalists. That's the reason.
You are playing videogames. Journalists and critics are the same: pretentious cum guzzling imbeciles who have no idea what makes escapism great in the first place.
Picture like the most annoying fag ass millenial or gen-x endlessly virtue signaling and being all modern and socialized and living life and in the moment middle or high class idiot. That is a videogames journalist. It has fuck all to do with a gamer.
>And if you.. are normal.. this game does nothing for you..
Au contraire. If you are a normalfag like journalists and critics are, then you will applaud the slop and eat up all of it.
It is a movie game, that tells some fag ass story, with simplistic game mechanics that require no mechanical skill, no physical ability, and no intelligence. This is peak slop for normies who are not gamers and don't belong.
And this is why it will win GOTY. Multiple. GOTY is not about being peak gaming. Never has been. At least not for the past 40 years.
Industry is making money and being a faggot. Award shows are ads. To make more money. E33 is a perfect fit into the world of normies, lame ass cucks, etc.
TL;DR: Member the journalist who couldn't get past the cuphead tutorial? That's who all of the critics and journalists are. Not gamersThey can't even play videogames. E33 is peak normie slop.
