[Grimsdottir]

Honestly, its a masterpiece with story telling and frankly I'm happy it won those two awards.

It may look wrong to you Cinedine but it's the way it has to be. In particular Early Access Games shouldn't be eligible for awards because they are not "complete". Therefore if we date from a game coming out of Early Access than that, as in the case of Ark, may occur several years after the game first appeared on site.

Sure.
What is the difference between an Early Access game and Live Service game and a game with continous support again?

Designation.

Messaggio originale di Lar Dass:

He probably thinks that any game that hasnt got ultra-realistic graphics in a 3rd person/1st person format isnt worthy of being good, then get butthurt when games like hades do get awards

One games a cartoon dungeon crawler, the other one game of the year 3 years in a row.

I like action, hack and slash games, and I thought Hades was uninspired roguelike garbage. Quickly refunded it. Like after 30 minutes.

Thing is, empathy is a thing.

I've played Bastion, Transistor but haven't touched Hades yet. Nor do I think I will.

The games really didn't gel with me at all.

And yet, I can perfectly understand that they are EXCELLENT games. Why? Because I can understand how other people judge things.

Oh and calling a game "indie garbage" shows a level of dishonesty.

[Software22]

I'm happy
RDR2 Masterpiece of the decade!

The other nominees were pathetic. It's not surprising. Though, for the record, Mafia DE and especially Detroit Become Human have vastly superior storytelling compared to RDR 2. RDR 2 is rather great, but not on that level, no. If you don't agree then it's doubtful you really pay attention to anything beyond the superficial.

Hades is lifeless compared to the previous games made by the dev. That's sort of the thing.

I disagree, for me its the best and i couldn't stop playing.

In YOUR opinion.

But that's not the metric being used is it? And that's the whole point.

The fact remains that the USERS voted for the shortlist. The USERS voted for the winners.
There is no disparity and you could have easily predicted who would win by looking at the stats I've already mentioned.

I'm sorry you don't understand how large scale votes work, but again, the more people involved the more conservative and safe it becomes.

Basica human nature and empathy really.

I KNEW RDR2 was going to win from the start, quite obvioulsy really. Dunno what is the point of Steam awards anyway, do the devs get a physical trophy or something? For me i vote because of the cards, i can get some pennies from them.

Nah, that I doubt.

It's more just a sense of occasion and the whole meta game thing Valve like to put forward - gaming IS fun after all. Some of the little meta games I like, others I can leave. But on the whole, I welcome them.

I would say it's far more likely that it's valuable marketing feedback for Valve, and maybe by extension the devs concerned.

It's also a fair degree of kudos for the devs. I suspect there are a number of world democracies whose leaders are chosen by fewer votes than the Steam awards. The fact that a sizeable percentage of voters won't have played your game or any other on the list shouldn't be too much of a cloud.

Also money. I suspect being nominated then winning an award greatly boosts interest and sales.

Fair point indeed.

Oh please, if your typical gamer actually played a decent amount of games that didn't have ridiculous amounts of marketing hype behind them then the majority vote here might actually not be meaningless, as the winner clearly was inevitable, yeah. Not to mention that mass awards for media are by and large purely a marketing tool. I understand human nature a LOT more than you do. Probably because you believe in common, perpetuated lies about how society actually functions.
