WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ DID THIS WIN STEAM AWARDS GAME OF THE YEAR? (and a possible answer)

[docbell1516]

This won Steam Awards Game of the Year 2021. Not Dread Templar, not Hell Let Loose, not Psychonauts 2, but this. The worst entry in the mainline franchise since Resident Evil 6.

The game that failed at its job as sequel to VII with dropped plot points like the Contractors and Blue Umbrella.
The game that wasted two of my favourite characters (Chris Redfield and Mia Winters) in different ways respectively.
The game that took a dump on established franchise rules by having the main monsters, the Four Lords, use fantasy superpowers.
The game where in a macguffin hunt took centre stage over mystery and intrigue.
The game that retconned aspects of how the mold works.
The game that gleefully rendered every other entry in the series pointless and rendered the horrors that everyone endured in their struggle to end the threat of Bio Organic Weaponry all for nothing just to introduce a superpowered hero a la ALICE (Rose Winters).

All I have to say is: YOU VILLAGE FANS ARE BRAINLESS SHEEP! Yes, the gameplay is good, but the story was so atrocious, absurd, insulting, nihilistic and franchise-killing that my tolerance for this game receiving any praise at all is at zero. I say this as a fan of VII, by the way. I say this as someone who was born in 2000, too. YOU. PEOPLE. ARE. SHEEP.
P.S. I see you guy trying to invoke the "Trash the Classics" defence on VII. Don't even think about it.

Messaggio originale di Lanzagranadas:

Well, I've shown a screenshot of my inventory near the end of the game (Hardcore, blind playthrough) with five guns

Why do you think I don't believe you? I do. I said it's down to your playstyle. You must run back and forth to the merchant very often, because if you don't your inventory fills up fast. No, I don't just play on easy mode. I finished all modes, and it was even easier to fill on VoD because I was running through after finishing my hardcore mode with nice gear. Your response to the suggestion of not buying the bigger case if you didn't like how big the OG case is, was pretty childish. Why would you have to never interact with the merchant if your complaint is how "surrealistically big" the attache is? lol
Play it how you want, nobody is forcing you to not interact with the merchant, it just seemed the easiest solution would be to not touch the bigger attache. And yeah, I hate when my immersion is broken in a game with a 10ft woman with wolverine hands by a virtual bag of holding.
